Reviews

CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE 2009

"Outstanding Title! This succinct, tightly organized, and meticulously researched---in both German and French archival sources---monograph presents a thematic treatment of the German side of the occupation that includes such issues as the economy, the maintenance of order, culture and propaganda, and the Jewish question... This splendid volume, a worthy continuation of Mitchell's 40 years' work in Franco-German history, will have great utility for all levels of readership. A must for all collections. Summing Up: Essential. All levels/libraries." * Choice

"...an essential book. It provides precise facts and figures for many issues that have heretofore been presented in impressionistic terms." * The International History Review
