Review

"Diefendorf's book is excellent history, thorough, documented, well organized, and readably written."--Journal of Interdisciplinary History

"Far-ranging...An extremely valuable contribution to planning history and to postwar German history."--Journal of Modern History

"Not only historians but students of architecture, urban planning, and historic preservation, as well as lawyers, environmentalists, and communitarians, will find much of absorbing interest in this dense but well-written history. Highly recommended."--Choice

"A fascinating account of the reconstruction of German cities following the end of World War II...Diefendorf suggests that by learning from the German experience of revitalizing its devastated cities, the United States can be more efficient in attacking urban blight in its own cities."--History: Reviews of New Books

"[A] major contribution to the subject."--American Historical Review
