Reviews

Chamberlain might seem a specialized area of research, but he affected many of the great individuals and events of the late Victorian era. In this regard, the present title would be an appropriate purchase for most academic libraries and those public libraries whose readers have a deep interest in the history of British politics and foreign affairs.-ARBA 95
