Reviews

Several of Victoria Cross’s books were advertised with long series of quotations from undated reviews. I have found this fact helpful in finding reviews, but I have not been able to locate all of them, many being from short reviews in unindexed daily newspapers, where I could not justify the time spent searching for them. I have listed in the bibliography only those reviews for which I am able to supply precise references.
