[Lees'] greatly successful and accessible work on this massive subject is critical.. Readers will greatly appreciate the illustrations and maps, as well as the accompanying chronology, further reading, and websites. Squarely aimed at undergraduates, general readers also certainly would profit from the book's broad sweep and fascinating examples ... Highly recommended. * J. Rogers, CHOICE *
