John Wiley & Sons Murder Without Hatred
Book SynopsisA country known for its benevolent treatment of ethnic minorities, Estonia had a small number of indigenous Jews, and anti-Semitism existed on a relatively limited scale. However, many ethnic Estonians, participated in the murder of thousands of Estonian, Czech, and German Jews. This title presents a study of Estonians' role in the Holocaust.Trade ReviewEstonians were—in Anton Weiss-Wendt’s telling words—the Third Reich’s ‘perfect collaborators.’ Shamed by the Soviet occupation in 1940 and seduced by the prospect of preferential treatment from the Nazis as the most racially superior people of Eastern Europe, Estonians welcomed the Nazis as liberators, not conquerors, and embraced their cause out of a perverted nationalism rather than anti-Semitism. Through extraordinary research, Anton Weiss-Wendt has illuminated a hitherto unknown chapter of the Holocaust in fascinating and vivid detail. Anton Weiss-Wendt does an outstanding job of chronicling the Holocaust in Estonia A comprehensive and detailed comparative study that covers not only the history of Estonia’s own Jews but also the fate of the Jews of other nations who were transported to Estonian camps. A valuable contribution to scholarship on the Holocaust and World War II. . . .Weiss-Wendt's book is empirically rich and vivid.

Syracuse University Press Borderland Generation Soviet and Polish Jews
Book SynopsisTraces the prewar and wartime experiences of young adult Jews raised under distinct political and social systems. Each cohort harnessed the knowledge and skills attained during their formative years to seek survival during the Holocaust through narrow windows of chance.Trade ReviewThis magnificent book shows in a vivid narrative what it meant to live in the Polish and Soviet states as young Jews, and how that generation’s response to Nazi rule derived from prewar identities and behavioral patterns—remaining mostly distinct as Jews, or adapting to non-Jewish society. Borderland Generation masterfully weaves Jewish voices into a history grounded in archival documentation to reveal a multifaceted and layered understanding of the experiences of two Jewish communities located on either side of the Poland-Belorussian border region.”

The University of Alabama Press National Socialism and Gypsies in Austria
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe Nazis targeted three groups of human beings for extermination: the handicapped, the Jews, and the Gypsies. Though Hitler's men also murdered millions of other innocents, they specifically selected these three groups for total extinction.... Relatively little is known about the fate of the 'dark-skinned' victims of the Holocaust, partly because few Roma and Sinti survived the death camps. ""[This] pioneering study of Nazi policy towards the Gypsies [is] a remarkable book. The author demonstrates great skill in unearthing official records, tracking down surviving victims, and interpreting fragmentary sources. Her account thus resembles both a legal brief discovery and a reconstruction of the past."" - The Historian ""The author's investigation into the central issues of Gypsy persecution in German occupied Austria... also focuses on broader aspects of the Gypsies' fate under the Swastika: the ideological foundations and legal ordinances regarding Gypsies, the discrimination and persecution, and the Gypsies as subjects of medical experiments carried out by Nazi doctors. Thurner's book remains the authoritative study of Nazi policy toward the Gypsies in Austria."" - Romani Studies

The University of Alabama Press The Battle over Peleliu Islander Japanese and
Book SynopsisThe Japanese annexed the archipelago of Palau in 1914. The airbase built on Peleliu Island became a target for attack by the US in World War II. This book offers an ethnographic study of how Palau and Peleliu were transformed by warring powers and explores how their conflict is remembered differently by the three peoples who shared the experience.Trade ReviewStephen Murray has written a remarkably sensitive, insightful, and compassionate book about a war that continues. While Japanese forces surrendered the island of Peleliu in what is now the Republic of Palau to American invaders on 24 November 1944, the battle goes on around issues of memory, commemoration, and the meaning of history. To his great credit, Stephen Murray has done much to redress the imbalance and injustice." - The Contemporary Pacific"The Battle over Peleliu is an important contribution to Pacific history, because it considers the significant voices, experiences and memories of the Islanders in their view of the battle for Peleliu as 'an unmitigated social, cultural, and environmental diaster'" - The Journal of Pacific History"In the field of Pacific Island ethnography, and more particularly studies of Palauan society, culture, and history, this book has no equal. Murray's focus on the people of the island of Peleliu and their relationship to the bloody battle which took place there in 1944 is particularly illuminating. Also noteworthy are his very lucid sketch of Palauan social structure and his astute analysis of the differential impact of Japanese and US colonialism on that social structure." - Peter W. Black, coauthor Conflict Resolution: Cross-Cultural Perspectives"Among the book manuscripts I have had the honor to review, no other has impressed, inspired, and touched me as deeply as this one. For those of us trying hard to expand world history to include a focus on the Pacific, this book will be a welcome aid to refocus students' geographical perceptions of history and challenge received wisdom. Murray's story is at once academically grounded, intellectually integer, practically informed, and personally engaged-a combination that cannot fail to attract considerable attention." - Franziska Seraphim, author of War, Memory, and Social Politics in Japan, 1945-2005Table of Contents List of Illustrations Acknowledgments Introduction Part I.

Ohio University Press War and Society in Colonial Zambia 19391953
Book SynopsisThe first major study of its kind, this book shows—from a Zambian perspective—how Northern Rhodesia, then a British colony, organized and deployed human, military, and natural resources during the Second World War. New research and oral histories further demonstrate the war’s social and industrial impact on Zambia in the immediate postwar period.Trade Review“In this first comprehensive study of Zambia during the Second World War, Alfred Tembo has produced a text that is both elegantly written and based upon meticulous and well-presented original research. Throughout, Tembo makes seamless linkages between the grand political/strategic levels and the ‘on the ground’ participation in the conflict of this important African colony. The accessibility of its presentation makes this book ideal for academics, historians, and general interest readers alike.” -- Ashley Jackson, professor of imperial and military history, King's College London, and visiting fellow, Kellogg College, University of Oxford“Alfred Tembo sheds light on how the Second World War affected Zambian society in this excellent study. Based on a close reading of hitherto underutilized Zambian archives, this book is essential reading for students and scholars with an interest in the effects of the war in a colonial context.” -- Andrew Cohen, coauthor of Labour and Economic Change in Southern Africa, c.1900–2000: Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi“Historians, political scientists, economists, and general readers will certainly find this empirical study a treasure trove of information on the important contributions Africans made to the British war effort, not to mention the high price they paid for their participation in a conflict not of their own making.” * H-SAfrica, H-Net Reviews *Making excellent use of neglected Zambian archives, Alfred Tembo surveys the impact of World War II on colonial Zambia, or Northern Rhodesia, as it was then called. * Foreign Affairs *

Duke University Press A Date Which Will Live
Book SynopsisHow Pearl Harbor has been written about, thought of, and manipulated in American culture.Trade Review“‘Remember Pearl Harbor.’ Every radio program during my World War II childhood ended with that slogan. Emily S. Rosenberg has written a splendid history of the contested memories of Pearl Harbor over the past sixty years, memories that frame American opinions of everything from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's war against the Axis to President George W. Bush's war against the axis of evil.”—James M. McPherson, author of Hallowed Ground: A Walk at Gettysburg"A Date Which Will Live makes a valuable contribution to understanding how World War II is perceived in American cultural memory. The author . . . is judicious in her survey of viewpoints on Pearl Harbor." -- Michael C.C. Adams * Journal of Military History *"No one familiar with Rosenberg's work will be surprised to learn that A Date Which Will Live is both high-quality scholarship and a pleasure to read. The strengths of Rosenberg's earlier books and articles are present here: attentiveness to ambiguity and nuance, a beguiling prose style, and-most important-a capacity to break down the barriers between diplomatic and cultural history so thoroughly that one often forgets the obdurateness with which those fields have been segregated until recently. . . . A Date Which Will Live is a major achievement that fully measures up to the standards we have come to expect from this scholar." -- Seth Jacobs * Reviews in American History *“Emily S. Rosenberg has given us a fine, concise study of war, memory, and mythmaking in America that will prove equally appealing to teachers, students, and general readers.”—John W. Dower, author of Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II"A Date Which Will Live is a scholarly, well-documented, comprehensive analysis of the significance of Pearl Harbor to Americans. It provides a fine review of the numerous attitudes and interpretations that a nation may have as regards a shaping event in its history." -- Armand Hage * Journal of Pacific History *“To trace and analyze the changing images of the Pearl Harbor attack held by generations of Americans is a daunting task, requiring the skills of a seasoned cultural and social historian. Emily S. Rosenberg superbly fits the requirements. This is the best, perhaps the only, study of the Pearl Harbor icon.”—Akira Iriye, author of Pearl Harbor and the Coming of the Pacific War"[Rosenberg] skillfully illuminates the intersection between memory and history. . . . A Date Which Will Live brims with insight, sharp analysis, and a keen sense of irony. It marks a welcome addition to an increasingly vibrant genre of cultural history." -- Robert J. McMahon * Western Historical Quarterly *"Shortly after the fiftieth-anniversary ceremonies at the USS Arizona Memorial in December 1991, I viewed this sacred American relic using a snorkel and mask in the waters of Pearl Harbor. The battleship still endures, bleeding drops of oil with regularity, attracting the curious and the reverent, anchoring in a site the command ‘Remember Pearl Harbor.’ But what are we asked to remember? Emily S. Rosenberg's welcome book is about the history of the use of the powerful symbol of ‘Pearl Harbor,’ a symbol as enduring and haunting as the USS Arizona itself."—Edward T. Linenthal, author of Sacred Ground: Americans and Their Battlefields "A Date Which Will Live is a penetrating and elegant work of cultural and social history that challenges the contrived distinctions that are frequently drawn between ‘high’ and ‘low’ history, or between so-called ‘rational’ history and 'nostalgic’ myth. Instead, it explores the intertextuality that exists between cultural memory, historical production, media representation, and public political discourse, and the intense political contests that lie behind the articulation of national narratives. . . . In sum, this is an excellent book that makes a genuine contribution to the growing literature on the national myths and narratives that lie at the centre of American identity and political discourse." -- Richard Jackson * Journal of American Studies *"Some books are meant for a popular audience, some for an audience of academic specialists. This book is meant for both. The subject of memory as a field of historical exploration is new enough that specialists wishing to get their feet wet will find this a useful, even penetrating volume. Yet the author and her publisher are clearly hoping to reach the wider audience of readers who are caught up in efforts to harness the meaning of Pearl Harbor to contemporary events. These readers, too, could do no better than to start with this interesting and lively volume." -- Michael J. Hogan * American Historical Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction 1 I.

Utilizing the words and descriptions of these women, Cynthia Simmons and Nina Perlina tell the story of a previously overlooked section of the population.Trade ReviewStands at the forefront of a new genre of historical literature that strips away the veneer of censorship and propaganda that so dominated historical works of the Soviet era to present a starker and more accurate portrait of Soviet life during World War II. This inspiring, often depressing, but intensely human portrait of suffering, deprivation, and survival stands as a monument to the resilience of the human spirit." —David M. Glantz, author of The Siege of Leningrad 1941-1944: 900 Days of Terror"Indispensable for all who take an interest in Russia, its literature, the history of the twentieth century, and women's studies." —Choice"As historian Richard Bidlack notes in his excellent introduction..., historical literature on the blockade has rarely attempted 'to define female perspectives on the siege and to trace those perspectives through a number of firsthand accounts.' [This] collection of diaries, memoirs, oral histories, and fiction, which focus on the 'small stories' of individual Leningrad women, seeks to fill this void." —Women's Review of Books"The Siege of Leningrad contains some of the darkest history of World War II. The German Army, unable to complete a direct assault on the city, resorted to a 900-day blockade during which approximately a million civilians died. Most of the men and boys were sacrificed to the war effort, leaving mainly women and children to endure the horrors of extreme deprivation caused by the blockade.... In winter, most citizens lived without heat as temperatures fell to 40 degrees below zero. Grass and leaves, along with glue and anything leather, were the staples of their diet, as all dogs and cats had long ago been eaten. Cannibalism saved many from starving. A very touching account of these women's remarkable accomplishments." —Library Journal

His father was taken away by the Japanese and Stutterheim, his mother, and his brother were imprisoned.

This should be required reading for anyone who studies the Pacific War." -- -Linda Goetz Holmes author of 4000 Bowls of Rice and Unjust Enrichment "The tall gentleman beside me stiffened as the voices of Japanese tourists mingled with those of our own overseas tour group. "Can't help it," he said sheepishly. That's how I met Dr. John Stutterheim. It led to hearing John's inspirational story of surviving a brutal Japanese labor camp, reuniting with his family in volatile postwar Java, and overcoming enormous odds to become a medical doctor in the United States. I'm glad that he's now sharing it with a much wider audience. Prof. Mark Parillo has added an illuminating foreword that puts John's youthful experiences in historical context." -- -Durham J.

Louise DeSalvo remembers her soldier father in a manner both unsparing and elegiac. She roots around at the confounding heart of the filial bond and pulls up something admirably strong, original, and true." -- -Alexandra Styron author of Reading My Father: A Memoir "Louise DeSalvo extends a tradition that includes Montaigne and Emerson and Woolf. She writes to discover something she doesn't know when she starts. Her work becomes: it is transformative-art for the sake of life. She is one of the most accomplished memoir writers of our time. Chasing Ghosts is powerfully executed." -- -Joshua Fausty New Jersey City University "This painstakingly researched work not only explores a daughter's love for her father but also proves the dire effects of war (and particularly of WWII) on families, exposing the deeper "wounds of the soul" suffered by both soldiers and their loved ones." -Publishers Weekly "The "ghosts" [DeSalvo] chases are the ghosts that have been with her all along, shaping her childhood interest in history, and in war stories, and, eventually, in memoir-writing, which, she shows, can provide us with a new an illuminating version of the past" -Times Literary SupplementTable of ContentsOne War Stories "Join the Navy, See the World" The Sea, the Sea On the Road to Nowhere, Moving Fast Fly Boy Man o' War's Man Dead as a Doornail A Very Smart Ship A Flower, A Sunburst, A Star The First Death Into the Drink Trouble Board War Games When Pigs Can Fly Two "The Girl for Me" "Of Couse I Will" Courtship Safe House Lifeboat Three So Much to Lose, So Much Already Lost Magic Bullet On the Day I Was Born "Hide Your Tears" House Hunting Four Secret Code Command Center The Sailor Who Flew Home on Wings of Air A Knock at the Door Just a Very, Very Few of the Many, Many Who Have Died Rage Chasing Ghosts Ship's Model Mopping Up Cargo Cult Five Coming Home The Evening News The Last Time My Father Almost Died Epilogue Wearing My Father's Bones Sources Acknowledgments

Fordham University Press Red Tail Captured Red Tail Free
Book SynopsisThis book is a rare and important gift. One of the few memoirs of combat in World War II by a distinguished African-American flier, it is also perhaps the only account of the African-American experience in a German prison camp.Trade Review"... If Detroit's Museum of African American History wants to prosper, it need do no more than establish a wing for one of the great stories of the Second World War, the tales of the Tuskegee Airmen, the military's first black pilots, who were trained at a remote training complex near Tuskegee, Alabama... The black bomber escorts made history because they never lost a bomber to the enemy...Red Tail Captured, Red Tail Free ... 56 years in the making, is the result of thousands of hours of Alexander Jefferson's working in his basement.

Fordham University Press War Pictures Cinema Violence and Style in
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A welcome attempt to bring several mighty British films of the 1940s into contemporary relevance. Seizing on the eccentricity of three wartime movies-The Life and Times of Colonel Blimp, Henry V, and Brief Encounter-Puckett discloses the contrariety and oddity structuring these films' responses to war with an extraordinary intensity of focus." -- -Alexander Nemerov Stanford University "Seemingly as quirky in focus as are the eccentricities of British character 'strategically' enshrined in the three wartime classics under scrutiny, Puckett's cultural inquiry is carried deep into what war can picture back to a society in crisis about its values and compromises. Across and beyond genres, with the apparatus of 'projection' (every sense) explored as one armature of resistance, Puckett takes us to places in the viewing experience rarely probed by screen analysis. Though he recognizes his work as film writing more than traditional film studies, in the long run his immersive approach delivers film thinking at its most challenging. In its canny battle against the predictable, War Pictures is a winning achievement." -- -Garrett Stewart author of Closed Circuits: Screening Narrative Surveillance "War Pictures is an eloquent and absorbing study of some of the best known British movies of the Second World War. Describing a whole range of ways in which a work of film art can be about war, the readings are always stylish and often surprising-and Kent Puckett's Celia Johnson is completely unforgettable." -- -Marina Mackay St. Peter's CollegeTable of ContentsPreface Introduction "But what is it about?": The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp Pistol's Two Bodies; or, Henry V at War Celia Johnson's Face: Before and After Brief Encounter England's Dreaming: Derek Jarman's War Notes Works Cited Index

Book SynopsisInterpreting the Nazi era using the basic diagnostic tools provided by the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, Judaeo-Christian culture, and contemporary German-language writers, this book provides an alternative approach to the topic of the individual German's entanglement with the Hitler regime.Trade Review[In Hitler and the Germans] the reader feels the academic hall come to life with Voegelin's eloquence and the profundity of his mind. Voegelin speaks with passion and deadly irony....Hitler and the Germans is not simply a scholarly historical analysis of an extremely unpleasant event. Voegelin writes as a philosophic German to philosophic Germans, because he takes them seriously....[He] has brilliantly illuminated the depths and meaning of that ideology and tyranny for our abiding benefit in thought and action. - Perspectives on Political Science

Book SynopsisWeapons for Victory originally appeared in 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II. Now, in this paperback edition, Robert James Maddox provides a new introduction about the ongoing controversy related to the decision to bomb Hiroshima.Trade ReviewMaddox has written one of the more level-headed critiques of the use of atomic bombs to end the Pacific War....This is a well-written and significant book.-Pacific Historical Review; ""[Maddox's] research is exhaustive, his logic is admirable, and his account is utterly convincing.... This is a good overview of how the decision was made to enter the atomic age. It is thorough, readable, accurate, and most welcome.""-Florida Historical Quarterly; ""Maddox has written a lean, well-focused, and tightly argued volume seen largely from the standpoint of American leaders who influenced the President's decision. The book is carefully documented and has a useful bibliography.""-Parameters; ""Maddox has written a concise history of the American decision to drop nuclear bombs in Japan in August 1945....Certainly, this is a book to be reckoned with.""-Choice; ""A vigorous defender of the traditional interpretation, namely, that the use of the bomb was inevitable in view of the war up to that point and necessary in view of Japanese internal politics, Maddox brings to bear considerable scholarly research. He is particularly scathing in documenting the errors of revisionists in handling historical evidence. A concise and convincing study.""-Foreign Affairs; ""Offers a clear overview of the events leading up to Hiroshima and the immediate aftermath. Maddox excels at setting context and identifying precise chronology, both vital in good diplomatic history.""-Newsday-Fanfare; ""Contrary to the arguments made by revisionist historians, Maddox shows that, based on the information available to Truman and American military leaders at the time, the dropping of the atomic bombs appeared a military necessity....[Maddox] makes a well-reasoned contribution to the scholarly debate that reminds us of the political context in which Truman actually made his decision.""-Kirkus Reviews

University of Missouri Press No Sacrifice Too Great
Book SynopsisPresents the stories of individual members of the US 1st Infantry Division (1st ID), familiarly known as the Big Red One, officers as well as enlisted men. The author gleaned information from hundreds of memoirs, diaries, and postwar interviews he either consulted or personally conducted.Trade ReviewThe U.S. Army of World War II fielded many superb fighting formations, but the 1st Infantry Division, the famous Big Red One, surely has a valid claim to be the greatest of them all. From North Africa to Sicily to Omaha Beach and the Battle of the Bulge, the Division was right there in the heart of the greatest land battles in history. Who commanded and inspired this great outfit? Who stood in its stalwart ranks? Most importantly, how and why did this division, more than all the others, learn how to fight and win against the tough and lethal German Army? In No Sacrifice Too Great, 1st Infantry Division Gulf War combat veteran andrenowned military historianGregory Fontenot explains it all with candor and insight. It’s a great American story by our Army’s premier soldier-scholar."—Daniel P. Bolger, Lieutenant General, U.S. Army, Retired and author of The Panzer Killers: The Untold Story of a Fighting General and His Spearhead Tank Division's Charge into the Third Reich“As the number of WWII veterans has declined precipitously in recent years, and those few veterans who are still alive are in their 100s—and because the gap between the WWII generation and current generation that knows little about the military continues to widen—a book such as this is vital in keeping this information alive.”—Flint Whitlock, editor of WWII Quarterly magazine, author of The Fighting First: The Untold Story of the Big Red One on D-Day “Gregory Fontenot, with a deep knowledge of World War II history, a rich, profound understanding of how armies work, and the heart of a soldier, provides an excellent study and analysis of the campaigns and battles of the 1st Infantry Division, the Big Red One, in World War II, in his book, No Sacrifice Too Great. This book is informative, well-written, dramatic, rich in insights, and deeply instructive for leaders at all levels.”—Adrian R. Lewis, The David B. Pittaway Professor of Military History, University of Kansas, author of Omaha Beach: A Flawed Victory and The American culture of War, 3rd Edition, retired soldier, U.S. Army Ranger.“Greg Fontenot’s No Sacrifice Too Great follows the First Infantry Division from the beaches of the Mediterranean and Normandy through the fields of France to the forests of Germany. Throughout, the author demonstrates that if war is a learning contest, then the “Big Red One” was among its best students and had few peers in adaptation, innovation, and improvisation. The division’s fabled story and eventual success does much to explain the vital American contribution to Allied victory in World War II and the liberation of continental Europe, and offers a model for building highly effective organizations in the future.”—Christopher M. Rein, author of The North African Air Campaign: U.S. Army Air Forces from El Alamein to Salerno and Mobilizing the South: The Thirty-First Infantry Division, Race, and World War II

Scott, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Target Tokyo: Jimmy Doolittle and the Raid That Avenged Pearl Harbor"A fascinating biography of the groundbreaking World War II correspondent Richard Tregaskis. . . . Boomhower fills in all the missing psychological and historical details with immediacy, authenticity, and humanity. . . . An engrossing picture of one of the twentieth century's most important combat reporters, [this book] serves as a necessary companion to Tregaskis's own front-line dispatches." - Joe Jackson, author of Black Elk: The Life of an American Visionary"A unique analysis of the life, writings, and experience of war correspondent Richard Tregaskis. . . . Through the words and experiences of Tregaskis in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, the author provides the reader with a new perspective on why combat journalists risk their lives to cover wars and tell the stories of the people who fight in them." - James R. Hedtke, author of The Freckleton, England, Air Disaster: The B-24 Crash that Killed 38 Preschoolers and 23 Adults, August 23, 1944"Ray Boomhower digs deep into his wealth of sources and resources to gather details for an intimate portrait of what war is like for the troops who fight it. He then deftly weaves all that research into a fine, engaging read with a writing style that is sure to put the reader in the center of the battles. As much as you think you know what war is like, you will still find a deeper understanding of it by reading this book." - Jim Willis, author of 100 Media Moments that Changed America"Alongside Ernie Pyle, Richard Tregaskis was perhaps the most outstanding American war correspondent of World War II. Tregaskis remains best known today for his landmark Guadalcanal Diary, but that book covered only one small chapter of his reporting from the front lines. Ray Boomhower's excellent new biography finally does justice to Tregaskis in this deeply researched, thoughtful portrait of the man and his times." - Richard B.
