Excerpt from Our War With Germany: A History The participation of the United States in the great war is one of the rare historical events that give direction to the progress of the world. The self-governing states of Europe were struggling for life and the greatest republic in the world went to their assistance at the critical moment. A century ago the American people first proved that republican government can succeed in a first rate nation. It was as fitting as essential that they should have interfered to preserve it in time of danger. It is in this sense that the future historian will make up his opinion of our part in the great struggle. When the passions of the day subside, the American people will come to this view of the subject. They will not ask very closely about the errors committed in the conduct of the war, but they will wish to know what the world crisis was, how the nation as a nation met it, and how the people now living adjusted themselves to the problems growing out of the war when it was won. It is from the standpoint of the historian that I have endeavored to tell the story of the struggle. It was not possible to omit mention of matters which have excited controversy, but earnest efforts have been made to present them with due appreciation of the motives of persons on both sides of the questions. If the story does not please the reader, let me ask him before condemnation to try to imagine how he could please all parties.

"When It Was Our War is a personal story that brings a new perspective to "the greatest generation" by giving voice to the military wives on America's home front during World War II." "Still a teenager when America declared war on Germany and Japan, Stella Suberman, not hesitating for even a moment, bought a blue Vera Maxwell suit and a leghorn hat made of fine straw, found a rabbi, and married Jack a week after he joined the Army Air Corps. By the time the war ended in 1945, Stella was twenty-three, and very much an adult. Now eighty, she tells her story - the story of a young woman who, like so many others, watched her husband go off to war overseas, not knowing if she would ever see him again and waiting for what seemed an eternity for his letters home." "In this frank, insightful record of those war years, Suberman takes us back to the Miami Beach of her high school days when hotel signs boasted Always A View, Never A Jew. She recalls the passenger ship lingering just off Miami Beach, a boat full of European Jews hoping for sanctuary and later known as the Voyage of the Damned. She describes setting forth alone across the country to join Jack at his training camp in California. Kicked off trains to make room for soldiers, her luggage stolen, arrested for "soliciting," she was determined to follow her husband. Stella discovered she could take on and handle hard things: the anti-Semitism she encountered almost everywhere, the gradual recognition of her own prejudice, and even having her first baby far from home. Meanwhile, she took Jack's buddies into her heart, and when some were lost in battle, she grieved, but went on."--BOOK JACKET.

This volume contains the most important contributions by distinguished historians who have thoroughly demolished this Wehrmacht myth. The picture that emerges from this collection is a depressing one and raises many questions about why "ordinary men" got involved as perpetrators and bystanders in an unprecedented program of extermination of "racially inferior" men, women, and children in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union during the Second World War."--Pub. desc.

Excerpt from The German War Book: Being "the Usages of War on Land" Issued by the Great General Staff of the German Army; Translated With a Critical Introduction Our war-book is more discreet but not more merciful. Private property, it begins by saying, Should always be respected. To take a man's property when he is present is robbery when he is absent it is downright burglary. But if the necessity Of war makes it advisable, every sequestration, every appropriation, temporary or permanent, every use, every injury and all destruction are permissible.

A masterful and comprehensive chronicle of World War II, by internationally bestselling historian Antony Beevor. Over the past two decades, Antony Beevor has established himself as one of the world's premier historians of WWII. His multi-award winning books have included Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin 1945. Now, in his newest and most ambitious book, he turns his focus to one of the bloodiest and most tragic events of the twentieth century, the Second World War. In this searing narrative that takes us from Hitler's invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939 to V-J day on August 14, 1945 and the war's aftermath, Beevor describes the conflict and its global reach -- one that included every major power. The result is a dramatic and breathtaking single-volume history that provides a remarkably intimate account of the war that, more than any other, still commands attention and an audience. Thrillingly written and brilliantly researched, Beevor's grand and provocative account is destined to become the definitive work on this complex, tragic, and endlessly fascinating period in world history, and confirms once more that he is a military historian of the first rank.

One survivor tells of the fire-bombing of Dresden. Another survivor recounts the pervasive fear of marauding Russian and Czech bandits raping and killing. Children recall fathers who were only photographs and mothers who were saviors and heroes. These are typical in the stories collected in The War of Our Childhood: Memories of World War II. For this book Wolfgang W. E. Samuel, a childhood refugee himself after the fall of Nazi Germany, interviewed twenty-seven men and women who as children—by chance and sheer resilience—survived Allied bombs, invading armies, hunger, and chaos. “Our eyes carried no hate, only recognition of what was,” Samuel writes of his childhood. “Peace was an abstraction. The world we Kinder knew nearly always had the word ‘war’ appended to it.” Samuel's heartfelt narratives from these innocent survivors are invariably riveting and often terrifying. Each engrossing story has perilous and tragic moments—school children in Leuna who are sent home during an air raid but are strafed as moving targets; fathers who exist only as distant figures, returning to their families long after the war—or not at all; mothers who are raped and tortured; families who are forced into a seemingly endless relocation that replicates the terrors of war itself. In capturing such experiences from nearly every region of Germany and involving people of every socio-economic class, this is a collection of unique memories, but each account contributes to a cumulative understanding of the war that is more personal than strategic surveys and histories. For Samuel and the survivors he interviewed, agony and fright were part of everyday life, just as were play, wondrous experience, and above all perseverance. “My focus,” Samuel writes, “is on the astounding ability of a generation of German children to emerge from debilitating circumstances as sane and productive human beings.”
