Reviews

The book is a vital contribution for anyone involved beyond the numbers in this particularly difficult kind of excess mortality. ... The book performs a notable service in documenting methodologies to measure and evaluate this special kind of excess mortality within the realm of population studies. ... This book cannot be ignored by those engaged directly in this work and by those dealing with its consequences. (Johanne Sanschagrin, Canadian Studies in Population, Vol. 44 (1-2), 2017)
