Reviews
Avinoam Patt in his review of Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany wrote "In examining the inherently unequal relationship between these two nationalist movements [Germandom and Judaism], Nicosia has made an important contribution to both the history of Zionism and Nazism (and more broadly to the fields of German and Jewish history), while correcting misconceptions about the limits of actual Jewish and Zionist power."[1]
Roderick Stackelberg writes "Zionism and Antisemitism in Nazi Germany is a scrupulous work of history, not politics, and Nicosia makes no references to the present, except to point out the irony that while anti-Zionism or criticism of the state of Israel in Europe or the United States today is often equated with antisemitism (or viewed as motivated by antisemitism), before 1933 antisemites were more likely to support Zionist aims than to oppose them."[2]
David Motadel, reviewing Nazi Germany and the Arab World, writes "Nicosia's book can be read as a response to ... recent publications—as a re-examination of Nazi Germany's foreign policy toward Arab lands from Marrakesh to Muscat. Reviving (and extending) his 1980 thesis, he argues that the strategic interests and ideological outlooks of the two sides differed significantly. Yet the book is more than just a response to the recent works in the field; it provides a thorough chronological account of the Third Reich's involvement in the Arab world."[3]
