Reinisch has written a fascinating study ... no one writing on
early postwar Germany can afford to miss it.
*Martijn Lak, German History*
this book represents a necessary contribution to comparative work
on the occupation of Germany.
*Rebecca Boehling, American Historical Review*
Jessica Reinisch has written an excellent book, touching on both
the administration of post-1945 Germany and post-war public health
care. She deals with general conditions of health care for the
defeated country's population, including many non-Germans such as
displaced persons (DPs) and Eastern European Jews. Her depictions
of overall conditions are interspersed with those of particular
situations governed by individual victor powers: the United States,
Britain, France and the Soviet Union. Hence she provides a
five-dimensional view.
*Michael H. Kater, English Historical Review*
Perils of Peace is a fascinating contribution determined by a broad
range of sources that makes it profitable reading for historians of
medicine and historians of German occupation alike.
*Anita Winkler, Social History of Medicine*
[A] meticulous, archivally based comparative analysis of their
evolution from wartime planning to postwar implementation
throughout the occupation period, in all four occupation zones.
