5.0 out of 5 stars
'a superb essay',
By
This review is from: A Rebel in the County Cork, 1915-1923: Case Study of an Insurgency (Long Essay, submitted in partial fulfillment of the M.A. degree at King's College London) (Kindle Edition)
My tutor was kind enough to give me an A+ on this 'long essay'--and that's in a British university, mind, where grade inflation hasn't taken hold nearly to the extent that it has in America. Here's what he wrote:
'This is a superb essay. It is a rich case study based upon a close reading of some of the better secondary sources illuminated to great effect by a primary historical resource, the unpublished memoirs and recollections of your father. It is a pleasure to read. I like also the explicit and well made links to broader themes in the study of insurgency from Callwell in 1906 to Boyd in 1996 (or thereabouts, you fail to give a reference). Excellent in all respects.' (OMG, it's true--I didn't footnote that reference to Boyd!) Blue skies! -- Dan Ford |
