Description: Did the reach of National Socialist propaganda extend into the Far East? Despite a distance of almost 9,000 kilometers, the Nazi regime tried to get the German expatriate community in China to fall into line, an effort in which the media played a crucial role.
Review Quotes: "Taaks has produced a detailed, carefully periodized history of a German expatriate community. [...] The volume constitutes a significant and largely successful attempt to situate aspects of German history in a broader Asian, and for that matter, a broader 'global' context. It also stands as a substantial contribution to growing body of 'Shanghai studies'.""Die vorliegende Arbeit gehort in jede Bibliothek, die historisch auf das 20. Jahrhundert ausgerichtet ist."
