[A] rich and closely argued work. He s hows convincingly how a bureaucracy could adapt to the specific interests of labor, employers, and the state itself under successive regimes to create such continuity. This study prompts one to ask whether other administrative areas with similar continuities quietly existed elsewhere as well, while providing the methodological tools to explore those continuities. - German Studies Review Meskill's book is well-documented, particularly its coverage of government initiatives. - Journal of Modern History The author has presented an informative, clearly structured book and thrown new light on an area of employment policies that had previously been neglected by scholars. - Vierteljahrschrift fur Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte Meskill's enterprise is courageous, and the benefit of analysing concepts and institutional practices of vocational training and labour administration is evident. With such renewed approaches, it is worth revisiting some classic controversies of German historiography. - German History
