The conflict that ended in 1945 is often described as a 'total war', unprecedented in both scale and character. Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War adopts a transnational approach to offer a comprehensive and global analysis of the war as an economic, social and cultural event. Across twenty-eight chapters and four key parts, the volume addresses complex themes such as the political economy of industrial war, the social practices of war, the moral economy of war and peace and the repercussions of catastrophic destruction. A team of nearly thirty leading historians together show how entire nations mobilized their economies and populations in the face of unimaginable violence, and how they dealt with the subsequent losses that followed. The volume concludes by considering the lasting impact of the conflict and the memory of war across different cultures of commemoration.

Shattered Past - Reconstructing German Histories (Paperback): Konrad H. Jarausch, Michael Geyer Shattered Past - Reconstructing German Histories (Paperback)
Konrad H. Jarausch, Michael Geyer
R1,145 Discovery Miles 11 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Broken glass, twisted beams, piles of debris--these are the early memories of the children who grew up amidst the ruins of the Third Reich. More than five decades later, German youth inhabit manicured suburbs and stroll along prosperous pedestrian malls. "Shattered Past" is a bold reconsideration of the perplexing pattern of Germany's twentieth-century history. Konrad Jarausch and Michael Geyer explore the staggering gap between the country's role in the terrors of war and its subsequent success as a democracy. They argue that the collapse of Communism, national reunification, and the postmodern shift call for a new reading of the country's turbulent development, one that no longer suggests continuity but rupture and conflict.

Comprising original essays, the book begins by reexamining the nationalist, socialist, and liberal master narratives that have dominated the presentation of German history but are now losing their hold. Treated next are major issues of recent debate that suggest how new kinds of German history might be written: annihilationist warfare, complicity with dictatorship, the taming of power, the impact of migration, the struggle over national identity, redefinitions of womanhood, and the development of consumption as well as popular culture. The concluding chapters reflect on the country's gradual transition from chaos to civility. This penetrating study will spark a fresh debate about the meaning of the German past during the last century.

There is no single master narrative, no Weltgeist, to be discovered. But there is a fascinating story to be told in many different ways.

Beyond Totalitarianism - Stalinism and Nazism Compared (Hardcover): Michael Geyer, Sheila Fitzpatrick Beyond Totalitarianism - Stalinism and Nazism Compared (Hardcover)
Michael Geyer, Sheila Fitzpatrick
R2,338 Discovery Miles 23 380 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In essays written jointly by specialists on Soviet and German history, the contributors to this book rethink and rework the nature of Stalinism and Nazism and establish a new methodology for viewing their histories that goes well beyond the now-outdated twentieth-century models of totalitarianism, ideology, and personality. Doing the labor of comparison gives us the means to ascertain the historicity of the two extraordinary regimes and the wreckage they have left. With the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, scholars of Europe are no longer burdened with the political baggage that constricted research and conditioned interpretation and have access to hitherto closed archives. The time is right for a fresh look at the two gigantic dictatorships of the twentieth century and for a return to the original intent of thought on totalitarian regimes - understanding the intertwined trajectories of socialism and nationalism in European and global history.

Diese Sammlung beschaftigt sich mit den infolge zunehmender Globalisierung und Internationalisierung ablaufenden epochalen gesellschaftlichen Veranderungen.

B. in der Alltagskultur, in den Selbstangaben zur sozialen Integration) zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschen thematisiert und (die offenbar uberwiegenden) Gemeinsamkeiten referiert."
