The German War: A Nation Under Arms, 1939-1945
Autor Nicholas Stargardten Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 mai 2017
A
groundbreaking
history
of
what
drove
the
Germans
to
fight--and
keep
fighting--for
a
lost
cause
in
World
War
II
InThe
German
War,
acclaimed
historian
Nicholas
Stargardt
draws
on
an
extraordinary
range
of
firsthand
testimony--personal
diaries,
court
records,
and
military
correspondence--to
explore
how
the
German
people
experienced
the
Second
World
War.
When
war
broke
out
in
September
1939,
it
was
deeply
unpopular
in
Germany.
Yet
without
the
active
participation
and
commitment
of
the
German
people,
it
could
not
have
continued
for
almost
six
years.
What,
then,
was
the
war
the
Germans
thought
they
were
fighting?
How
did
the
changing
course
of
the
conflict--the
victories
of
theBlitzkrieg,
the
first
defeats
in
the
east,
the
bombing
of
German
cities--alter
their
views
and
expectations?
And
when
did
Germans
first
realize
they
were
fighting
a
genocidal
war?
Told
from
the
perspective
of
those
who
lived
through
it--soldiers,
schoolteachers,
and
housewives;
Nazis,
Christians,
and
Jews--this
masterful
historical
narrative
sheds
fresh
and
disturbing
light
on
the
beliefs
and
fears
of
a
people
who
embarked
on
and
fought
to
the
end
a
brutal
war
of
conquest
and
genocide.
