Rezensionen

'An exceptional and major contribution, aimed primarily at specialists. Superb notes and bibliography.'

- N. Greene, Wesleyan University

At the present time, it represents a well-researched, provocative and carefully nuanced rebuttal of the elite-consensus orthodoxy that is appearing increasingly misguided with the passing of each year.' - Stephen Jacobson, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, English Historical Review
