Dan Stone: Thinking Europe's Catastrophe, Gebunden

Klappentext

Thinking Europe's Catastrophe: Selected Essays brings together some of historian Dan Stone's most influential articles. With a focus on the history and interpretation of the Holocaust, the chapters range widely in history of ideas especially the idea of 'race', fascism, and genocide. Social history, international history, and the history of the human sciences are all represented here. From studies of individual thinkers from a range of scholarly backgrounds, to analyses of postwar tracing, open source intelligence, archival history, psychoanalysis, and collective memory, these chapters offer a way into Stone's large body of work and show how his various approaches to the past are united by the attempt to uncover, from as wide a perspective as possible, the sources of Europe's mid-twentieth-century catastrophe and to appreciate the Holocaust's effects on the postwar world.
