Note:"Experienced and highly trained historians have set the problems for us in this volume; they have asked the questions and supplied the material for answer pro and con. They have given us no answers, however, and have attempted no conclusions. They have tried to give us material on both sides, and on more sides still when the question cannot be resolved into alternatives." - Pref.
