Recenzje

'Conceptually original and analytically versatile, American Survivors has made many scholarly contributions. All these achievements, however, are made possible by the extraordinary efforts that the author has made to gather, record, and preserve historical information about US survivors … A groundbreaking study and a call for further research …' Toshihiro Higuchi, Peace & Change
