These are its chapter introductions, its judicious use of quotes and interpretations from recent scholarship, and the bibliographical essay.... These lend authenticity and relevancy to the work and are, not incidentally, good models through which to encourage students to use the same techniques in their own writing.\" (\u003ci\u003eTeaching History\u003c\/i\u003e, 1986)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan M.
