Editorial Reviews
'The account ... is fascinating to the point where the reader will feel impelled to move on from chapter to chapter despite the passage of time and any intention which he may have had to the contrary ... the volume contains a wealth of well-documented detail which will assure it a place as a standard reference for many years to come.'
