I think this book review very well summarizes the authors main points. I think you could have commented on how the author’s background and other works might have impacted this book, instead of just mentioning them in passing. You did a good summary of the book, and hit the high points of the authors goal of expanding the historiographical commentary on the occupation of Boulogne. I also liked how you summarized the counterpoints that argued against the significance of the occupation of Boulogne to Early Modern English History. I agree with the strengths that you pointed out. I do think that Murphy did a good job of showing both sides of the story to give the reader a better idea of the historiographical work that has already been done on this topic.
