Reviews' ... excellent new study ...

Holocaust and Genocide Studies, ' … excellent new study … Hayes lays to rest certain myths that persist with respect to many German corporations during the Third Reich … the moral grey areas that define Degussa's story during the Third Reich make for gripping reading …' Holocaust and Genocide Studies, "Like his critical study of IG Farben, Hayesas new work on the German corporation Degussa stands at the intersection of business and political history. Hayes raises many important questions, still valid today, about business partnerships. Recommended." CHOICE May 2005, 'Hayes has produced a remarkable and highly readable book. From Cooperation to Complicity is impressive in overview, rich in detail, and , not the least, balanced in its judgements.' Zug, "...the most mature study of a single German firm under National Socialism currently available, and its conclusions regarding the relationships between business and the Nazi government more generally are likely to stand the test of time." Business History Review, Jeffrey Lewis, Ohio State University, "this fine book is a long overdue contribution to our knowledge of how National Socialism affected specific sectors of German society...Hayes has done a mangificent job in explaining the complexity of Degussa'a situation, and if we cannot look on its plight with much sympathy, we can at least do it with understanding." - Decian O'Reilly, Michigan State University
