Reviews

This elegantly produced volume provides a welcome focus on the Valori family... There is much to learn from this book, and much rigorous archival and secondary research has gone into its composition. Catherine Kovesi, European History Quarterly.


<br> Jurdjevic's arguments are subtle and imaginative. -- Journal of Modern History<p><br>
