One article, a book review of Susann Miller's Burgerieden und Klassenkampf was, for example, published in 1976 in the Journal of Modern History, a journal which MacCaffrey himself described as "quite good". Her thesis, awarded "distinction," a rare and high honor, according to Professor Fritz Stern of Columbia University, an expert in German history and her Ph.D thesis adviser, "is a real contribution to the understanding of German social democracy and German social history in general."
