"The book closes with a balanced (and unusually rewarding discussion) of how the antifascist teachings of the regime still have some staying power a quarter of a century after unification. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries." - S. Bailey, emeritus, Knox College, CHOICE Review
"...this book is undoubtedly a significant contribution to the scholarship of East Germany, and will also provide valuable insights for scholars with an interest in antifascism during the Cold War and in education, particularly in relation to state-building." - Grit Wesser, University of Edinburgh
