“Nielsen’s assiduous work in the archives reveals that Coombes was instrumental in establishing a network of contacts who were empire loyalists rather than colonial nationalists. … it generates new perspectives that cultural historians will find useful.” (Dilwyn Porter, The Journal of the Historical Association, October, 2016)
