Germany 1945 by Richard Bessel
1945 was the most pivotal year in Germany's modern history. As World War I drew to a devastating and violent close, the German people were confronted simultaneously with making sense of the horrors just passed and finding the strength and hope to move forward and rebuild. Richard Bessel offers a provocative portrait of Germany's emergence from catastrophe, and he astutely portrays the defeated nation's own sense of victimhood after the war, despite the crimes it had perpetrated. Authoritative and dramatic, Germany 1945 is groundbreaking history that brilliantly explores the destruction and remarkable rebirth of Germany at the end of World War I. Ultimately, it is a success story; a story of life after death.
Richard Bessel is a professor of twentieth-century history at the University of York and the author of Nazism and War.
