Reviews
"The Elusive West and the Contest for Empire is written in a graceful, conversational style that asks good questions and makes thoughtful answers."--Journal of American History
"Path-breaking. . . . A rich and novel story that will force historians to rethink some of the standard interpretations of the struggle for empire in 18th-century North America."--London Review of Books
"Deeply researched and carefully argued."--American Historical Review
"Recommended for classroom use and the general history buff seeking a new perspective."--Colonial Latin American Historical Review
"Mapp's prose is lucid and engaging, and he displays a dazzling knowledge of early modern European cartography. . . . [This] book is first class all the way, from the many reproduced maps to the generous space allotted for the index, and it is a pleasure to pick up and peruse."--Arkansas Historical Quarterly
"Thoughtfully researched, structured, and argued. . . . Mapp has written an excellent book."--Journal of Interdisciplinary History
