Extract
During the seven years it took me to research and write this book, I received generous financial support from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, as well as from Princeton’s History Department, the Class of 1942 Preceptorship in History, and the University Committee on Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. In Germany, my research was facilitated by conversations with a series of archivists, librarians, and fellow historians. I thank especially Gudrun Emberger, Sonja Grund, Alexandra Haas, Uwe Jens Wandel, Ronald Fischer, Reinhard Mayer-Kalkus, and the indefatigable Thomas Reimer. One of the greatest pleasures in working on this project was to meet and befriend Hellmut Haasis, whose courage and generosity I shall not soon forget. Hellmut: bleib xond. Keith Baker, David Bell, Elisheva Carlebach, Laura Kounine, Natasha Mhatre, H. C. Erik Midelfort, Hannah Mintzker, Lyndal Roper, James J. Sheehan, and Hari Sidhar read drafts of individual chapters or the manuscript as a whole. I am grateful for their comments and for saving me from many factual and interpretative errors. Any that remain are of course my very own. Carolina Alvarado, Brooke Fitzgerald, and especially Sara Marcus helped with crucial editorial advice during the final preparation of the manuscript; Tsering Wangyal Shawa prepared the maps; Daniela Blei prepared the index; and Brigitta van Rheinberg and her team at Princeton University Press took extraordinarily good care of my manuscript. I am grateful to them all. My final thanks go to Katie, Naomi, and Lydia. I love you.
