From the book reviews:
I highly recommend Hawkins book. It is very mathematical all the way through. Hawkins work is extraordinarily useful. It allows the mathematical community, even the great majority of us who do not read German well, to understand the work of the very important mathematician Frobenius. The great length of the book is essential to the book s success. (David P. Roberts, MAA Reviews, October, 2014)
The author has succeeded admirably in describing the mathematical work of Frobenius. this book is an excellent contribution to the mathematical literature it is, or should be, a role model for historical writing, and for bringing the mathematics of the recent past back to life. (Franz Lemmermeyer, zbMATH, Vol. 1281, 2014)
