Rezensionen

'It is a pity that this excellent revised edition of Professor Evans' book will not be bought by Scottish History teachers, except those who have a personal rather than a curricular interest in Sir Robert Peel ... Evans is very accessible and gives an excellent overview of Peel.' - History Teaching Review
