"This book presents an essential segment of contemporary history that so far has not been explored systematically ... [It is] based on a wide variety of sources and highly informative ... The exhaustive treatment results in a far more differentiated picture than has predominated so far." · IWK "[The author] has succeeded in presenting a differentiated, rigorously argued and convincing study of the debates that have taken place in the academic and media worlds." · Archiv für Sozialgeschichte "[The author's] lucid, well structured presentation offers non-German readers in particular a scholarly overview that still preserves the nuances of the subject." · German Studies Review "Curious observers of Germany's never-ending quarrel with its past will find much to ponder in Berger's assessments." · Journal of Interdisciplinary History "The author undoubtedly deserves a great deal of recognition ...
