Omer Bartov, a leading scholar of the Wehrmacht and the
Holocaust, provides a critical analysis of various recent ways to
understand the genocidal policies of the Nazi regime and the
reconstruction of German and Jewish identities in the wake of World
War II. Germany's War and the Holocaust both deepens our
understanding of a crucial period in history and serves as an
invaluable introduction to the vast body of literature in the field
of Holocaust studies.
Drawing on his background as a military historian to probe the
nature of German warfare, Bartov considers the postwar myth of army
resistance to Hitler and investigates the image of Blitzkrieg as a
means to glorify war, debilitate the enemy, and hide the realities
of mass destruction. The author also addresses several new analyses
of the roots and nature of Nazi extermination policies, including
revisionist views of the concentration camps. Finally, Bartov
examines some paradigmatic interpretations of the Nazi period and
its aftermath: the changing American, European, and Israeli
discourses on the Holocaust; Victor Klemperer's view of Nazi
Germany from within; and Germany's perception of its own
victimhood.
