[Her] description and persuasive analysis are based on a wide range of primary sources and expert use of the existing literature. ... The principal contribution of this learned, richly detailed treatise lies largely in its ability to show how, over the course of two centuries, disparate political elites with diverse interests, religions, and cultures built a state. ... The book should stand for some time as the most thorough account of the emergence of early modern Lithuania."</p><p>--Martin O.
