Review Quotes: «This review cannot do justice to the range of topics covered in Wolf's study. Besides in-depth analyses of each of the émigré historians' works, Wolf offers solid discussions of the German historical profession before 1933; of Intellectual History in the United States; of émigré historians in the more general context of the academic emigration; of West German historiography in the postwar period; of theories of fascism and totalitarianism; and of the philosophical underpinnings of American and German historiography. Above all, Wolf sensitively suggests ways in which personal biography shapes historical interpretation.» (Catherine Epstein, Amerikastudien)
