Trade Review
An important and path-breaking book...immensely interesting, it will appeal not only to students of twentieth-century Germany but to all those interested in the growing field of disability studies. - Robert C. Holub, University of Tennessee ""A major, long-awaited book. The chapter on Nazi images is brilliant - certainly the best that has been written in this arena by any scholar."" - Sander L. Gilman, Emory University
