Stewart Rayment, Liberator "The other Princeton books I have reviewed recently have been superbly made and this volume is no exception... For the right audience, those who have a sufficient grounding in the subject, it will earn its keep."
John George Kendall, Reference Reviews "The Princeton Companion to Atlantic History is a helpful guide to the rich scholarship that has emerged in the field of Atlantic history and reflects the field's diversity and variety. The volume makes abundantly clear that Atlantic world historians and scholars are not simply rehashing old-style 'colonial' histories in repackaged form. There is a lot of exciting and intellectually stimulating work being done as the field continues to evolve."
