Strength Through Joy : Consumerism and Mass Tourism in the Third Reich
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... is the first major book on the Nazi leisure and tourism KdF agency ...'. History Today
'Professor Baranowski, through her detailed research has explained in a most readable form how this was achieved and for this we are most grateful. It is a book that is important reading for social scientists and any one interested in the prologue to WWII. One of the exception features of this book is the clarity of the monotone illustrations. All too often these days the black-and-white illustrations are indistinct but in this book they have an unusual clarity.' Open History
'This book makes a significant contribution to the historical record, providing a unique insight into one of the most overlooked aspects of the Third Reich ...'. The European Legacy
Review
"All in all, this is a very useful book, particularly for those who seek an introductory overview. It convincingly extends the subject well beyond its classic boundaries by opening up new perspectives on the relation between consumption and National Socialism." American Historical Review
"Anyone interested in the history of Nazi Germany, in mass-market tourism, and in an account of a twentieth-century attempt to create a balance between work and life should read Baranowski's thorough and provocative study." Business History Review, Hans-Liudger Dienel, Berlin University of Technology
