'In this attractive book Chadwick shows not only his scholarship and gift of clear exposition, but also a story-teller's flair for the dramatic moments of an exciting tale. His book is a pleasure to read; it is also, thanks to the Cambridge University Press, an ornament to the bookshelf, and even the elegant dus jacket, with notes and illustrations, was designed for a better fate than the waste-paper-basket.'
