More Praise

Here is an investigation of one of the more obscure chapters of our history which not only dissipates all obscurity but at the same time tells a lively story É comprehensive, scholarly and spirited. It is informed with an understanding of the social psychology of the people and the region described, illuminated by a broad presentation of the whole historical background and presented with vigor and not without humor.
