Description
Comprendre Hitler et la Shoah: Les historiens de la République fédérale d’Allemagne et l’identité allemande depuis 1949 is a thorough and fascinating examination of the influences that shaped historians of the "Hitler Youth generation." As Kershaw describes it in his foreword: "It is the great merit of Edouard Husson’s study that he has been able to analyze, on the basis of a more profound and thorough investigation than has even been conducted before, the influences which shaped the historical writing of this generation. His command of the issues in such a vast outpouring of scholarship, covering almost five decades, that experts could be forgiven for not keeping pace with it, is admirable in the extreme. It is difficult to imagine a more exhaustive analysis of these important intellectual currents. The book deserves to be read by all who have an interest in how the history of the Nazi era has been constructed by Germany’s leading historians."
