The inclusion of this (Chronology) will be a feature reviewers will favourably comment on; to my knowledge, it will be the most extensive and authoritative timeline of its kind, and will prove very useful. Dr Peter van den Dungen, Lecturer of Peace Studies, University of Bradford
A fine addition to undergraduate research collections and institutions supporting peace studies. -Library Journal
provides a cornucopia of pertinent facts... The Guardian
This four-volume collection represents an extraordinary piece of work, unprecedented in scale and scope, detailed, empirically rich and theoretically broad ... it should find its way into many libraries
