Recensione:

Rechter analyses the effects of the wartime crisis on Jewish thinking with considerable skill, drawing on an impressive range of sources . . . He gives a particularly effective account of the disorientation and dislocation of Viennese Jews at the fall of the Empire and their efforts to forge a new collective vision of their place in stunted post-imperial Austria. --Bernard Wasserstein, Times Literary Supplement

The research Rechter has carried out in this work is thorough and top-notch. He has mined the archives and mastered the details of the Jewisd political scene in wartime Vienna. This is an invaluable guide to scholars in the field as well as graduate students who wish to understand the politics and the players involved . . . a piece of quality research . . . will serve as a valuable resource for scholars and students of Jewish history. --Ian Reifowitz, Shofar

A pioneer work in this field . . . an excellent book. --Albert Friedlander, European Judaism
