"Carter-Chand's long-awaited study of the Salvation Army's uncanny ability to survive absorption into the main Nazi social welfare organization, the NSV - without ever having, after 1945, to acknowledge any complicity in the Third Reich's countless evils - brilliantly explains this feat by placing the movement in the necessary longer-term and internationally comparative perspectives." - Dagmar Herzog, City University of New York "Carter-Chand tells the riveting story of an international religious minority and its members' quest to adapt to modern German society, including their startling and disturbing efforts to conform to the racial norms of the Third Reich. Eloquently written and conceived, this is a brilliant, eye-opening work of judicious scholarship." - Helmut Walser Smith, Vanderbilt University
