(Choice, 1 September 2011) "The Wiley-Blackwell Dictionary of Modern European History Since1789 is the product of the collaboration of three authors: NicholasAtkin, Michael Biddiss, and Frank Tallett. A remarkable work oferudition, this book contains nearly 1,000 detailed entriescovering the breadth of modern European history since 1789. Thiswas a daunting undertaking, and the authors have succeeded,admirably, in crafting an authoritative and informative text thatis accessible to both historians and lay readers alike."
