출판사 서평

“Even so, this is a minor quibble. Zeiler, an expert on Japanese American relations and World War II, and DuBois, a doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado&n-Boulder, have per­formed a real service for the field and are to be commended for their work.”& (The Journal of American History, 1 March 2014)“This would be an essential purchase for academic and special libraries with large humanities collections.”& (Reference Reviews, 1 November 2013)“There is no doubt that, taken as a whole, the Companion is full of first-class, historiographical and bibliographical information and insights. . . Accordingly one can unreservedly recommend it to all University and Departmental libraries as a reliable work of reference on the state of research into the Second World War.”& (Cercles, 1 December 2013)“This companion is destined to become a valuable contribution to the historiography of the war, and should find a welcome home in either the reference or general collection of any academic library.& Summing Up.& Essential.& All academic levels/libraries.” &(Choice, 1 September 2013)&
