Rezensionen

"Nielsen's assiduous work in the archives reveals that Coombes was instrumental in establishing a network of contacts who were empire loyalists rather than colonial nationalists. ... it generates new perspectives that cultural historians will find useful." (Dilwyn Porter, The Journal of the Historical Association, October, 2016)
