Margaret F. Stieg's thoroughly researched study, the first comprehensive examination of public libraries in Nazi Germany, reveals that library policy in the Third Reich was far more complex than we might assume, with the positive and the negative hopelessly entangled.... A solid and welcome contribution. - American Historical Review; ""This book is impressively documented and presents a wealth of new material on the apparatus of censorship and the role of public libraries in cultural politics."" - Central European History; ""[A] well-documented and fascinating work."" - Library Quarterly
