Reviews

"The book should be read by teachers of the social sciences, for whom it is a good source of ideas for essays. One of its strengths is that it will encourage students to examine some of its ideas by doing their own research, using its generous source references and reading lists." -- Times Higher Education Author article in BBC History Magazine on whether historians should comment on current affairs.
