With an intriguing cast of characters derived from his primary sources, Duggan's work is both accessible to readers of World War II history and an important new work in the historiography of modern Italy.

Parker's magisterial global history is bold in scope and superb in execution, and while the size is daunting, the book is a pleasure throughout. Highly recommended for readers of Brian Fagan's The Little Ice Age as well as for scholars of the era.
Despite the title's implication of a narrow focus, this history of the impact of the British Empire's horticultural ambitions will interest readers of biographies as well as students of industrialization, architecture, and, of course, botany, although they may be disappointed with the book's polite treatment of the imperial project at large.
This study will appeal to avid readers of 19th-century British studies. Readers seeking a uniquely female perspective and story will be disappointed as the scant record includes no such personal details.
