6 Acknowledgments It would seem appropriate with the subject of this book that the Internet should have been such a vital tool during the writing. It was of enormous value in finding and retrieving hundreds of relevant articles from journals published throughout the twentieth century. In addition, many articles are published on the Internet alone. I would also like to thank: The enthusiasts who run the many online museums to show their collections. Wikipedia images for many useful pictures. The librarians of Cambridge University Library for leading me through some of the byways of their collections. Clive Horwood for his encouragement, Maury Solomon particularly when it became necessary to split an overlong book, and Elizabet Cabrera. Jim and Rachael Wilkie for turning the manuscript into a book with the cover design and editing. My referees Robert Martin-Royle, Dr Andrew Wheen, Myrene Reyes and Professor Graeme Gooday for their positive comments which made me feel that the nearly 5 years work had been worthwhile. Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank my wife who has, without realizing it, taught me so much about history. vii
