For a given (simply connected) spacetime \(M\), the holonomy group of its connection is a subgroup of the Lorentz group \(L\); the classification of the Lie subalgebras of \(L\) gives rise to a (global) classification of spacetimes. The paper under review gives the possible classes of holonomy when \(M\) is: a vacuum, an Einstein, a conformally flat, a null Einstein-Maxwell type, a non-null Einstein-Maxwell type or a perfect fluid spacetime, respectively. With few exceptions, examples for each class are provided.
