Reviews

"This is a fascinating and very moving book."-International Migration Review "Wyman interviewed some eighty DPs as well as employees of various agencies who served them; he cites a broad range of published primary sources, secondary sources, and some archival material... This book presents a useful overview and should stimulate further research."-Journal of American Ethnic History "Mark Wyman's book is the only one that comprehensively, and sensitively, depicts the plight of the postwar refugees in Western Europe."-M. Mark Stolarik, University of Ottawa
