'a fascinating volume ... As with volume I of the English edition,
and the complete German version, this remains an indispensable
contribution to its field.'
John P. Fox, International Affairs, 1/92
`Volume 2 maintains the same high standard of scholarship, broad
analysis of economic and political factors, and clear exposition as
the first. ... An essential addition to all library
collections.'
Choice
'worth waiting for ... its contributors ... do a truly commendable
job of analysing the receptivity of Germans to the martial spirit
... Handsomely produced and smoothly translated ... the first two
installments of Germany and the Second World War can be warmly
recommended to the broad readership they deserve.'
Marilyn Shevin Coetzee, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton,
History, Summer 1992
