The Yearbook of Transnational History is dedicated to disseminating pioneering research in the field of transnational history. This fourth volume is focused to the theme of exile. Authors from across the historical discipline provide insights into central aspects of research into the phenomenon of exile in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Both centuries have seen large numbers of people - left-leaning revolutionaries as well as monarchists and conservatives - fleeing revolutions, oppression, persecution, and extermination. This volume is the first publication to provide a comprehensive overview over exiles of various political and ethnic groups beginning with the French Revolution and ending with the transfer of Nazi scientists from post-World-War-II Germany to the United States. This volume contains contributions about the refugees created by the French Revolution, the Forty-Eighters who were forced out of Germany after the failed Revolution of 1848/49, the anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, Vietnamese anti-colonial activists in France, the exiles of Nazi Germany, and the transfer of Nazi scientists such as Wernher von Braun to the United States after World War II.

Das Nationalkomitee Freies Deutschland (NKFD) ist bislang von der Forschung nur unter seinem deutschland- und rualandpolitischen Aspekt behandelt worden. Die vorliegende Untersuchung beschaftigt sich erstmals mit der Reaktion der Amerikaner, Briten und Franzosen auf das NKFD und auf seine tatsachlichen oder vermeintlichen Zweigorganisationen in aller Welt. Nicht nur die intensive interne Debatte der Westalliierten ueber die sowjetischen Motive bei der Gruendung des Komitees und ihre Beobachtung der Aktivitaten von NKFD und Freien Deutschen Bewegungen von 1943 bis weit nach Kriegsende stehen im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit; auch die konkreten Gegenmaanahmen des Westens, wie die Gruendung von Gegenkomitees und der geheimdienstliche Einsatz deutscher Kriegsgefangener, werden ausfuehrlich behandelt. aAuf der Basis einer beeindruckenden Fuelle bislang ungedruckter amerikanischer, britischer und franzosischer Quellen geht B. am Beispiel des Nationalkomitees Freies Deutschland (NKFD) nicht in erster Linie der Frage nach, was Stalin mit dessen Gruendung tatsachlich beabsichtigte, sondern spuert vielmehr der Einschatzung und Reaktion der Westalliierten auf dieses, psychologische Meisterstueckae des roten Despoten nach.o Historische Zeitschrift aYet Bungert, whose primary research in US, British, and French archives is impressively thorough and wide-ranging, shows convincingly that the National Committee in Moscow and the Soviet-inspired Free German Movements in Western exile communities were the subjects of intense discussion at senior levels of government in the West, especially in the United States.o The International History Review
