Rezensionen

"Even so, this is a minor quibble. Zeiler, an expert on
Japanese American relations and World War II, and DuBois, a
doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado-Boulder,
have per-formed a real service for the field and are to be
commended for their work." (The Journal of American
History, 1 March 2014)

"This would be an essential purchase for academic and
special libraries with large humanities collections."
(Reference Reviews, 1 November 2013)

"There is no doubt that, taken as a whole, the Companion
is full of first-class, historiographical and bibliographical
information and insights. . . Accordingly one can unreservedly
recommend it to all University and Departmental libraries as a
reliable work of reference on the state of research into the Second
World War." (Cercles, 1 December 2013)

"This companion is destined to become a valuable
contribution to the historiography of the war, and should find a
welcome home in either the reference or general collection of any
academic library. Summing Up. Essential. All
academic levels/libraries." (Choice, 1 September
2013)
