"Fuster's book provides a compendious elucidation of the history of European data protection ... . Such a comprehensive perspective in a medium-length monograph will undoubtedly be of enormous benefit to both researchers and advanced students of data protection. ... It tackles an extremely important issue, is meticulously researched, and is genuinely thought-provoking and enlightening. It will constitute an essential point of reference in the growing field of data-protection scholarship for many years to come." (David Erdos, The Cambridge Law Journal, Vol. 74, July, 2015)
