“…a compilation of twenty learned and erudite articles. The result is a masterwork of impeccable and impressive scholarship. Germans Against Nazism is a core and essential addition to academic library 20th-Century German History reference collections in general, and Nazi History supplemental studies reading lists in particular.” · Midwest Book Review “The relationship between National Socialism and Resistance is a key to understanding the Third Reich, hence it is necessary to understand the resistance in all its complexity, to approach the reality of the Third Reich as closely as possible. This book can help us doing so.” · Francia   “Twenty authors have successfully joined forces in this work, which is characterized by a remarkable breadth of subject matter, originality, and archival research.” · Central European History   “Together, they are impressive evidence of the scope and vitality of the history of resistance and of its complexity. One paradox emerges: there is general agreement with Peter Hoffmann's view that German resistance was limited to the exceptional few who operated in a hostile environment.” · English Historical Review   “As the title also makes clear, while Peter Hoffmann's work is most famous for dealing with resistance action by Germany's social elites, this volume recognizes no such limitations.” · The Historical Journal
