“The authors have taken great pains to identify the neuralgic points of 1968. The book is carefully edited, and all of the essays are solidly researched and immensely readable. The collection provides a good introduction on current German historiography in a concise form for an Anglo-American readership.”  ·  Journal of Cold War Studies“As well as offering an immensely rich analysis of this particular period in post-war German history and its social, political, cultural, intellectual and moral facets, the volume provides material for further questions... In provoking these stimulating questions, this book should be considered as required reading for anyone interested in the dis/continuity of the Nazi past in German history."  ·  European History Quarterly
