"Limitations of space prevent me from giving adequate attention to all of the contributions to this volume, but suffice it to say that this thin tome packs a lot of punch. It would serve well as a source of reading assignments in a graduate seminar and it reflects well on a scholarly field that continues to generate new information and important new perspectives on a period of modern history that was as ghastly as it was transformative." - Aviel Roshwald, Georgetown University, USA
