Erlichman and Knowles show that when we revise the conceptual framework, occupied Germany continues to have contemporary salience. Consequently, this book is a necessary addition to the bookshelf of every historian of post-war Germany, Europe, and the Cold War, and would sit nicely in any interested reader’s collection. * Australian Journal of Politics and History *\u003cbr\u003e[…] adopting a new approach, this stimulating volume of essays offers fascinating insights into the period of occupation in the British, French and US zones. * Journal of European Studies *\u003cbr\u003e[This] volume is timely and will be crucial reading for scholars of political transition and those who wish to encourage further study in order to contribute positively to the aftermath of conflict and military occupation wherever it occurs. * Journal of Contemporary European Studies *\u003cbr\u003eEach of the fifteen chapters adds something valuable to the existing scholarship and ensures that studies of the post-Second World War occupation of Germany will continue to develop and diversify for the foreseeable future ... An excellent summary of many of the key elements of the Allied occupation of Germany. * German History *\u003cbr\u003eBy showcasing military occupation as a subject in its own right, the volume explores interactions alongside outcomes and legacies of these occupations for both the occupiers and the occupied in a comparative and transnational framework, and by doing so it makes itself indispensable to post-war syllabi. * European History Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003eSucceeds in showing that the occupation should be studied as a complex period in its own right, which had a long-term impact not only on Germany, but also on the occupiers. * English Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003eThis is an exceptionally valuable volume that brings together a first-rate group of historians. It belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in postwar Germany or the long legacies of the Allied occupation. * Adam Seipp, Professor of History, Texas A\u0026amp;M University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThis outstanding collection sheds fascinating new light on many diverse aspects of the occupation of western Germany after 1945.  More than this, however, it asks that we rethink our understanding of occupation in modern history in more general terms.  As such, it will be crucial reading for scholars of political transition in a wide variety of different fields. * Neil Gregor, Professor of Modern European History, University of Southampton, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis collection offers new insights on familiar questions and opens new lines of inquiry regarding the occupation of western Germany in the wake of the Second World War.  A diverse group of younger and more established scholars examine multiple aspects of developments in all three zones from perspectives of legal, political, economic, social, cultural, and gender history.  Framed in terms of occupation, the volume underscores the inherently coercive aspects of the situation, while illuminating the agency of both the occupiers and the occupied.  Often casting a critical eye on the planning and practices of the western powers, the authors recount fascinating stories of conflict and cooperation between victors and vanquished that reveal the contingency and complexity of the history of occupied Germany. * Timothy L. Schroer, Professor of History, University of West Georgia, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThese detailed studies are an important corrective to a simplistic understanding of occupation policy. * Rheinische Vierteljahrsblätter (Bloomsbury Translation) *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations Notes on Contributors Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations   \u003cb\u003ePart I: Contextualising Occupation\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
