Review
“Highly recommended for academic collections.”–
“The Peace of Westphallia:A Historical Dictionary is a useful reference work for researchers interested in the complex negotiations leading to the famous 1648 peace that ended the Thirty Years' War....This dictionary will be especially helpful for undergraduate and graduate students doing seventeenth-century European history research projects....These commentaries should help stimulate new research on the important religious and political settlement of 1648.”–
“[a]n indispensable aid to anglophone scholars.... Croxton and Tischer are to be commended....Their bibliography is up-to-date and, like the entries themselves, broadly international in scope, and includes not only the expected German, French, Spanish, and Dutch literature, but also the latest historiography in Danish, Swedish, Polish, and even Russian. This reviewer has tried, without success, to find and visable gaps in the book's coverage....Croxton and Tischer have provided students of early modern diplomatic history with a resource of immense utility. I would suggest that scholars delving into the primary sources on the peace- like the Acta Pacis Westphalicae seies-do so with this dictionary close at hand.”–
“[b]elongs in all research libraries and in any library where early modern European history is of interest to it's users.”–
