Reviews

'Very worthwhile material, all done to high academic standards.' Stone and Stone (www.stonebooks.com)

'All of the essays are good and several very much so, dispelling myths about the composition and performance of particular contingents (e.g., Italian, Spanish). This is a valuable addition to the literature of the Russo-German War.' A. A. Nofi, The NYMAS Review
