Good material. It featured lots of interviews of a wide sample of participants in the war; many who were strangely unapologetic of their actions. ( ) Rees baseert zijn meer beschouwende stukken over de Tweede Wereldoorlog in dit boek op feiten en ooggetuigenverslagen opgetekend in interviews die hij hield met diverse mensen uit oost en west: een ijzersterke combinatie die tot interessante gevolgtrekkingen leidt. Zo leren we dat de nazi's allerminst gestructureerd te werk gingen en dat een gebrek aan moed om af te wijken en risico's te nemen een belangrijke reden was voor het ontbreken van steun voor verzet tegen de nazi's (lijkt erg voor de hand liggend, maar Rees weet het als een nieuw inzicht te beschrijven). Minpuntje in dit boek, gebaseerd op de tv-serie 'The nazi's, a warning from history', is dat het morele oordeel er soms wat dik bovenop ligt en dat is niet nodig want wat geschreven staat spreekt voor zich. During the past 16 years, acclaimed author and documentary-maker, Laurence Rees has met and interviewed a large number of former Nazis, and his insights into the Nazi psyche and the Second World War have received enormous praise. Following the success of Rees's bestselling "Auschwitz", this substantially revised and updated edition of "The Nazis - A Warning from History" tells the powerfully story of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. At the heart of the book lie eyewitness accounts of life under Adolf Hitler, spoken through the words of those who experienced the Nazi regime at every level of society. An extensive new section on the Nazi/Soviet war (previously published in Rees's "War of the Century") provides a chilling insight into Nazi mentality. Described as 'one of the greatest documentary series of all times', "The Nazis - A Warning from History" won a host of awards, including a Bafta and an International Documentary Award. The accompanying book broke new ground in our understanding of the Nazi regime and was praised for 'getting to the heart of the most troubling and elusive questions of Germany before and during World War Two'. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Published in conjunction with the History Channel and the BBC, this prizewinning volume, now back in print, contains previously unpublished material and photographs documenting the reality of life under Nazi rule and the evolution of the ruthless slaughter of millions of people in Germany. In this handsome edition, BBC producer and renowned historian Laurence Rees has collected the testimonies of more than fifty eyewitnesses, many of whom were committed Nazis, free to tell their stories only after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Rees offers us the compelling voices of soldiers and civilians rarely heard from--including a remorseless Lithuanian soldier who shot five hundred people and then went out to lunch, and the anguished older sister of a ten-year-old developmentally disabled boy selected for "immunization injection" (a fatal dose of morphine) at a children's hospital. These materials cast a harsh new light on the rise and fall of the Third Reich. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
