Rezensionen

"Fegelein's Horsemen and Genocidal Warfare offers the first detailed study in English of the SS Cavalry Brigade as both an instrument of genocide and a combat unit in the occupied Soviet lands. ... Pieper's thoughtful and well-argued book relies on a thorough examination of archival sources. There is much to admire in this detailed, though brief study-a significant contribution to the literature on the Holocaust and the Waffen-SS." (Paul J. Wilson, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Vol. 31 (5), 2017)

"The book is fundamentally a study of what Pieper calls the SS Cavalry Brigade's 'dual role' as both a political paramilitary force with ideological goals and as a conventional military unit. ... a detailed account of a Waffen SS unit with a complex history and a penetrating study of how this unit carried out numerous atrocities. ... Pieper has produced a fascinating book of value to anyone studying the Holocaust, the SS or the Eastern Front. Highly recommended."
