Book Reviews

Reading scholarly reviews of history books will give you insight into their quality, their relevance to your research question, and the perspective or lens through which they view the people and events that they cover.

You can find book reviews in JSTOR by searching the title of a particular book in quotation marks.

You can also find freely available reviews at H-Net, an online repository of book reviews by historians:
