Anthony McElligott
Rezensionen
'[A] superb documentary source book ... McElligott's choice of material is quite simply inspired and the result is a marvellously rich tapestry of words and images that document the complexity of the early twentieth-century German urban experience. It is the model of what a collection of sources should be and cannot be recommended highly enough.' - Journal of European Studies

'This is an excellent book ... a fascinating evidential exploration ... As such, this book should have an appeal to everyone confronted with the task of teaching modern history; it should be essential reading for every urbanist in the university system.' - Urban History
