'One can appreciate the level of care taken to properly tell these narratives at level which is both informative yet concise, in order to fully outline the facts. The historical analysis is superb, and the supporting visual sources (maps, figures and images) are of a high quality, which fully aids in the nature of the arguments made. What makes this series stands out from the other historical monograph is the relevancy it still has today, beyond the realms of scholarly endeavour, to the lives of people throughout the world.'
