Scholarly, readable, informative and exhaustively researched book. A formidable contribution to the study of the bystander in Holocaust history. Jewish Chronicle
This is a wonderful book, written with passion and minute scholarship combined. I could not put it down. It depresses, challenges, and reinterprets Holocaust history in the light of what the British and Americans did and thought. Times Educational Supplement
This book is not only a first-rate history but also very timely. Indespensable background reading for anybody who wants to share in creating a multicultural society. It is not simple history: it is about people. But is committed history written by a master-historian. Jewish Socialist
