— Review of Mischka's War : A European Odyssey of the 1940s Sheila Fitzpatrick , 2017 single work biography

'Mischka’s War defies genre. Readers of Fitzpatrick’s two previous books in this vein – My Father’s Daughter (2010) and A Spy in the Archive (2013) – will recognise the artful weaving of memoir, family history and historical scholarship. She is not alone among historians, particularly late in their careers or in retirement, to turn their well-honed skills to subjects close to home. Fitzpatrick’s contributions are a model for how to craft an intimate, highly readable and deeply informed narrative.' (Introduction)
