Dynamic of Destruction by Kramer
Taking the burning of Louvain library by German troops in 1914 as his starting point, award-winning historian Alan Kramer offers a vivid new account of the wave of cultural destruction and mass killing that swept across Europe in the second and third decades of the twentieth century.
This stimulating, scholarly and shrewd book is as rich in original ideas as it is energetic in its revisionism* Simon Sebag-Montefiore, New York Times Review of Books *
[Kramer's] material is as fascinating as it is depressing. * Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs *
A sobering book with a bleak message, but one that needs to be heard. * Malcolm Brown, BBC History Magazine. d *
No serious student of the history of the twentieth century can afford to ignore this book. * Jay Winter, author of 'Remembering War' *
