Reviews

"The first virtue of the present volume, then, is that it fills an obvious void. The second virtue is that it is beautifully done: well assembled and very well researched. Wood argues convincingly, even to non-specialist readers, that Lara was more than an entertainer. Highly recommended." --Choice
