From Library Journal:

Originally published in German in 1994, this work does not totally dispel traditional assumptions regarding the resistance to the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, but it does clarify the kinds of resistance offered by groups as diverse as religious and youth movements. "Most early resistance movements by the 'quiet opposition' Catholics, Jehovah's Witness, went unrecognized or denied by mainstream Western observers," the editors, who are German scholars, assert. The strength of their work lies in its organization. Part 1 offers an excellent overview of Nazi resistance by subject group. Part 2 is an encyclopedic arrangement of resistance topics, groups, and events, each given an in-depth and copiously cross-referenced explanation. Part 3 contains biographical sketches of resistance people. Indeed, excellent biographical notes appear throughout. While there is no traditional index, other indexing systems?including a cross-reference system offered at the end of the book?allow the reader to find specific information easily. Major indexes of books, including World Cat (OCLC), do not contain anything comparable to this concise volume. Any World War II collection should have this encyclopedia.?Harry Willems, Kansas Lib.
