This book is intriguing for anyone with some background knowledge of the Eastern Front during WWII or who is interested in the fate of White Russians following the Russian Revolution. Following WWII, the nations of the world were desperate to find order again, and in their speedy haste towards peace, the innocent sometimes got swept away. This book details the repatriation of White Russians back to the the land they fled and to certain death, all as part of the policy of returning people to their respective countries. I would not recommend this book to anyone without some background knowledge, but interested parties will be fascinated by the events as they sadly unfold, even on American soil. I highly recommend this to historians and students for the rare perspective on this overlooked subject. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Referencias a esta obra en fuentes externas. Wikipedia en inglés (17)A "harrowing" true story of World War II--the forced repatriation of two million Russian POWs to certain doom (The Times, London). At the end of the Second World War, a secret Moscow agreement that was confirmed at the 1945 Yalta Conference ordered the forcible repatriation of millions of Soviet citizens that had fallen into German hands, including prisoners of war, refugees, and forced laborers. For many, the order was a death sentence, as citizens returned to find themselves executed or placed back in forced-labor camps. Tolstoy condemns the complicity of the British, who "ardently followed" the repatriation orders. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
