Oliver Haag, (review) National Socialism in Oceania. A critical evaluation of its effect and aftermath edited by Emily Turner-Graham and Christine Winter, Reviews in Australian Studies, Vol 5, No 1 (2011):

‘National Socialism in Oceania breaks new ground ... Without exception, all the chapters are of a high quality, establishing new knowledge and providing a reliable reference point for future studies. The translations from German are flawless and the style is coherent and fluid. The inclusion of different right-wing movements and national contexts has proven to be of great advantage to understanding the intricate mechanisms of Nazi influence on a highly heterogeneous region. The consideration of individual reminiscences – particularly the inclusion of an Indigenous viewpoint – has contributed to a methodologically fresh approach. National Socialism in Oceania can be considered a landmark study for students and researchers alike.’
