It would be an excellent book for undergraduate students, and yet its caliber and clarity make it useful to researchers and other historians....

Although each paragraph is densely packed with information and analysis, the work is not beyond the reach of undergraduates or the general public. The quality and quantity of material presented, however, also makes this an extremely valuable book for the specialist historian.
