The Holocaust: A New History
Autor Laurence Reesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2017
'By far the clearest book ever written about the Holocaust, and also the bestat explaining its origins and grotesque mentality, as well as its chaotic development'Antony Beevor
'Groundbreaking. You might have thought that we know everything there is to know about the Holocaust but this book proves there is much more'Andrew Roberts,Mail on Sunday
Two fundamental questions about the Holocaust must be answered:
How did it happen? And why?
More completely than any other single work of history yet published, Laurence Rees'sHolocaustdefinitively answers them.
'WithThe HolocaustRees has set himself the task of writingan accessible chronological account of the murder of six million Jews in conditions of scarcely imaginable horror. He's done it excellently. There is no shortage of books on the Holocaust but Rees's stands out as a readable and authoritative exposition of how and why it happened, and the barbarous methods by which it was pursued. The amount of ground it covers in 500 pages isremarkable-from the anti-Semitism of popular German literature of the 19th century to Hitler's suicide and the surrender of his regime. It'sexcellently writtenand skilfully interweaves narrative history, sound interpretation and the recollections (through interviews, listed in the notes as "previously unpublished testimony") of survivors. Rees providesan exemplary account of how the greatest crime in modern history came about'The Times
'Rees has distilled25 years of researchinto this compelling study,the finest single-volume account of the Holocaust. It is not a book for the faint-hearted. Some of the first-hand testimony is bothshocking and heart-rending. Yet it has important things to say about human nature - what our species is capable of doing if not prevented by civilized laws - anddemands to be read' Saul David,Telegraph
'Anyone wanting acompelling, highly readableexplanation of how and why the Holocaust happened,drawing on recent scholarshipand impressively incorporatingmoving and harrowinginterviews need look no further than Laurence Rees'sbrilliantbook' Professor Ian Kershaw, bestselling author ofHitler

Rees'sbrilliantbook
A masterpiece. Laurence Rees's best book yet. . .In compelling prose, Rees tells the full story of the most shameful period in the story of Mankind
You might have thought that we know everything there is to know about the Holocaust but this book proves there is much more...
WithThe Holocausthe has set himself the task of writing an accessible chronological account of the murder of six million Jews in conditions of scarcely imaginable horror. He's done it excellently.There is no shortage of books on the Holocaust but Rees's stands outas a readable and authoritative exposition of how and why it happened, and the barbarous methods by which it was pursued.The amount of ground it covers in 500 pages is remarkable -from the anti-Semitism of popular German literature of the 19th century to Hitler's suicide and the surrender of his regime. It's excellently written and skilfully interweaves narrative history, sound interpretation and the recollections (through interviews, listed in the notes as "previously unpublished testimony")of survivors. Rees providesan exemplary account of how the greatest crime in modern history came about.
Rees has distilled 25 years of research into this compelling study, the finest single-volume account of the Holocaust.It is not a book for the faint-hearted. Some of the first-hand testimony is both shocking and heart-rending. Yet it has important things to say about human nature - what our species is capable of doing if not prevented by civilized laws - and demands to be read
This is by far the clearest book ever written about the Holocaust, but also the bestin explaining both its origins and grotesque mentality, as well as its chaotic development
A fine book.Rees is a gifted educator, who can tell a complex story with compassion and clarity, without sacrificing all nuances...it comes alive through the voices of victims, killers and bystanders.
The interview material is largely compelling, always illuminating and on occasion, very moving . . . Like all of Rees's work, it is accurate and carefully researched
Absorbing, heart-breaking...he has drawn skilfully on speeches, documents and diaries of the Third Reich, and on the vast library of secondary literature, to weave togethera powerful, inevitably harrowing revelation of the 20th century's greatest crime
