The People's War: Responses to World War II in the Soviet Union Tapa dura - 2000
de Robert W. Thurston (Editor); Bernd Bonwetsch (Editor)
Primera línea
What was life actually like in the occupied areas of the Soviet Union in the midst of a cruel war of annihilation?
Descripción de la solapa
The People's War lifts the Stalinist veil of secrecy to probe a side of World War II that has been almost completely obscured: the experiences of the Soviet people themselves. Going beyond dry and faceless military accounts of the eastern front of the "Great Patriotic War" and the Soviet state's one-dimensional "heroic People", this volume explores how ordinary citizens responded to the war, to Stalinist leadership, and to Nazi invasion.
Drawing on a wealth of archival and recently published material, contributors detail the calculated destruction of a Jewish town by the Germans and present a chilling picture of life in occupied Minsk. They look at the cultural developments of the war as well as the wartime experience of intellectuals, for whom the period was a time of relative freedom. They discuss women's myriad roles in combat and other spheres of activity. They also reassess the behavior and morale of ordinary Red Army troops and offer new conclusions about early crushing defeats at the hands of the Germans -- defeats that were officially explained as cowardice on the part of high officers.
The People's War provides a detailed, balanced picture of civilian life behind the front lines, candidly describing not only the command structure and repressive power of the state but also how people reacted to them, cooperated with or opposed them, and adapted or ignored central policy in their own ways. By putting the Soviet people back in their war, this volume helps restore the range and complexity of human experience to one of history's most savage periods.Detalles
