Reviews for Nazism, War and Genocide
... this book is an ideal way for undergraduates, graduate students, lay people or specialists in other fields to quickly learn the essentials of our current knowledge of some of the central issues surrounding the history of the Third Reich.
H-Net: H-German
... a series of strong and well-crafted essays by leading historians, all of whom are internationally recognized specialists. Because of Noakes’s dual importance as both researcher and pedagogue, the participating authors made a conscious choice to write broadly-based critical essays rather than more narrow works of original research. The book is indeed a success in that the articles are uniformly of high quality and all give masterful critical discussions of the current state of research.
(H-Net Book Review
Not only do these essays engage in fruitful dialogue with the life work of Jeremy Noakes, they also often can be read against and with each other in useful ways. […] The book thus offers a good illustration of the contingency of historical scholarship, which will make it particularly good reading for advanced students.

The result is a richly-defined overview of the historiography of Nazi Germany in the early 21st century, which reveals how the focus of historical investigation and evaluation of issues have changed and developed since Noakes’ first published article of 1966. For every History department throughout Britain, Nazism, War and Genocide is a horn of plenty.
