Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of historical essays on the impact of German refugees on Great Britain during the Nazi era. The essays describe the contributions of German industrialists to the British economy; the contributions of German scholars, scientists and artists; the collaboration of Germans with the British on the propaganda effort during the war; and, the influence of German politicians in exile on Britain's war policies. The collection also contains two essays which provide background information about this period: one article traces the rise of national socialism: the other traces the British refugee admissions policies throughout this period.
