| Synopsis: |
Istvan Deak is one of the world's most knowledgeable and clearheaded authorities on the Second World War, and for decades his commentary has been among the most illuminating and influential contributions to the vast discourse on the politics, history, and scholarship of the period. Writing chiefly for the New York Review of Books, but also for other prestigious publications, Deak has crafted essay-reviews that cover the breadth and depth of the huge literature on this ominous moment in European history when the survival of democracy and human decency were at stake. Collected here for the first time, these articles chart changing reactions and analysis by the regimes and populations of Europe and reveal how postwar governments, historians, and ordinary citizens attempt to come to terms withoor to evadeothe realities of the Holocaust, the war, fascism, and the resistance movements. They track the acts of scoundrels and the collusion of ordinary citizens in the so-called Final Solution but also show how others in authority and on the street heroically opposed the evil of the day.With its depth, conciseness, and interpretative power, this collection allows readers to consider more clearly and completely than ever before what has been said, how thought has shifted, and what we have learned about these momentous, world-changing events. Istvan Deak is Seth Low Professor of History at Columbia University. Among his many works are Weimar Germany's Left-Wing Intellectuals, The Lawful Revolution: Louis Kossuth and the Hungarians, 1848-1849, and Beyond Nationalism: A Social and Political History of the Habsburg Officer Corps, 1848-1918. |
