Reviews

[5greenway · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fascinating collection of essays capturing a real turning point in historical understanding. Some more successful than others, which perhaps aren't bold enough in their reinterpretation - but it's easy to say that from the perspective of all that's come since in this field.

[John Mcchesney-young · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent collection of essays, particularly those by the editor and Ronald Hutton, although most of the others are compelling as well.
