'Superb ... likely to become a classic' Observer In the summer of
1914 most of Europe plunged into a war so catastrophic that it
unhinged the continent's politics and beliefs in a way that took
generations to recover from. The disaster terrified its survivors,
shocked that a civilization that had blandly assumed itself to be a
model for the rest of the world had collapsed into a chaotic
savagery beyond any comparison. In 1939 Europeans would initiate a
second conflict that managed to be even worse - a war in which the
killing of civilians was central and which culminated in the
Holocaust. To Hell and Back tells this story with humanity, flair
and originality. Kershaw gives a compelling narrative of events,
but he also wrestles with the most difficult issues that the events
raise - with what it meant for the Europeans who initiated and
lived through such fearful times - and what this means for us.
