Step 1: Keyword Search
Using Search@UW, do a search for the title of the book in quotation marks and author name
Step 2: Use Filters
In the left side menu under the Resource Type filter, limit results to Reviews. You can also filter by Creation Date to retrieve results from the correct time period.
Step 3: Verify the author.
Your assignments asks you to find a review from a historian of the time, so check the publication title and look up information about the journal to make sure it's coming from a history journal. This is where a historian would write a review.
Be sure to also do a Google search for the author to confirm the reviewer is a historian.
