A solid, useful history, written in appealing prose. However, the book's peculiar organization-- 3 chronological chapters followed by 5 topic-driven chapters followed by 2 more chronological chapters-- is ineffective and waters down Spurr's interpretive claims, particularly the emphasis on masquerade promised both in his subtitle and prologue.
