"It is time that this story be told. Mennonite & Nazi? is readable, concise, carefully researched, fair, and accurate, though opinions might well differ on some issues. This is a book that will surely stimulate readers to reflect on their own synthesis of faith and politics. Thus it is more than an account of what happened in the Chaco; it is a call to all readers to examine their own loyalties and faithfulness." --Cornelius J. Dyck, Professor Emeritus, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary
"National Socialism is a particularly emotional issue. John Thiesen has dared to address a delicate and difficult topic. His aims are not to judge or to commit the anachronism of judging Mennonites of the 1930s by later insights and standards. He aims to understand. His study moves the discussion and interpretation of National Socialism among Mennonites in Latin America forward." --John J. Friesen, Professor of History, Canadian Mennonite Bible College
