`Oxford University Press has recently published a wide variety of
historical titles in paperback. Pride of place must go to the five
volume Oxford History of the British Empire written under the
general editorship of Professor William Roger Lewis and published
in hardback in 1998. The five volumes, describe the history and
effect of the Empire on world history. The scholars who contributed
and the volumes' individual editors all deserve high praise for
thie massive undertaking.'
Contemporary Review
`this is an extremely useful volume, and it will be the principal
reference work for many years to come. The crisp and apparently
effortless summaries of existing scholarship reveal an
extra-ordinarily high level of meticulousness.'
