Recenzii
'Martha Pollak has produced a deeply researched study, with a cascade of details for the experts. Its ambitious coverage will rightly turn it, I suspect, into a major reference work.' Lauro Martines, The Times Literary Supplement
'The level of erudition is superb, as Pollak condenses roughly three hundred years of pan-European history into a manageable 350-page work. It is full of interesting detail and wonderful examples.' Robert Tiegs, H-War
