In Honor of Jeremy Noakes

Jeremy Noakes is one of the most important historians of modern Germany. He has made a number of signal and definitive contributions to our understanding of how the Nazi system functioned. This collection is meant to honor Noakes and to provide a critical discussion of the current state of research on a number of topics prominent in his work. The result is 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

There are also slight alterations to the text; sections have been rearranged and, more significantly, sentences and occasionally whole paragraphs omitted. Although these alterations do not substantially affect the authors&#; original thesis, it is regrettable that they have not been mentioned by the publishers, who have also disgracefully failed to provide an index, despite the fact that, unusually for German academic books, the original had a good index.
