Review Quotes: "This is just what the subject has needed: a strong intertwined narrative and analysis, pulling out new themes as well as old and providing the human touch through brief biographies that link into and enhance the overall argument. A very important book combining scholarship with readability."--John Walton, University of Central Lancashire
