Reviews / Votes
"Although the book is not intended as a history of modern Germany, advanced students will discover many tantalizing perspectives in what outsiders see as German as well as the German response. With this publication, Berghahn Books remains the strongest source for quality academic publications addressing all aspects of German studies... Highly Recommended." * Choice"The trajectories and transformations examined in this ambitious and thought-provoking volume deserve a wide readership." * German History
"Creative dialogue is palpable in the pages of this rich collection. Together, its chapters make important scholarly contributions to twentieth-century German history and to transatlantic history." * Michael Kimmage, Catholic University of America
