Rezensionen

It is the rare book that does all the things I need a book to do for teaching undergraduates, but this book superbly accomplishes them all:

it is written in cogent, clear English
it is without an obvious agenda, especially an apologetic one
it is relatively brief
it avoids getting lost in the notes and apparatus, which undergrads often find bewildering
it captures the messiness of history--the "nobody has clean hands" approach
it is reasonably affordable in a paperback edition.
