Yet at every point, the book’s insights achieve precision  and nuance through the deft way Gibbs builds this history almost entirely by sustained, meticulous analysis of primary sources, in which the critical developments outlined above took shape. His work here thus needs to  be recognized as an extraordinary feat of scholarship.’\u003cbr\u003eElliott Logan, Projections Volume 11, Issue 1\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
