“…a study that makes a valuable contribution to the burgeoning scholarship on wartime business.” • American Historical Review “Having evaluated the relevant archival sources – those of the Institute for Contemporary History, the Federal Archives in Berlin, and the Siemens Corporation Archives –, Bera has written an innovative book. His research actually invites further work not only on economic and political history of the Weimar Republic and the ‘Third Reich,’ but also of the history of industrial associations, which has become somewhat forgotten in recent years.” • H-Soz-Kult “This is an impressively designed and clearly written book that makes a fundamental contribution to the role of business in the Third Reich and advances the debate about the ‘room for maneuver’ under the Nazi regime.” • Jeffrey Fear, University of Glasgow “This is an impressive book that adds to our picture of the complex, contradictory, and often surprising behavior of many individuals in the Third Reich. The trajectories of Lange and Reichert make for a compelling story that fills an important gap in the literature.” • David Meskill, Dowling College
