Exorcising Hitler

Resumen del libro

During the 1930s, embittered by one lost war and scarred by mass unemployment, Germany was swept away by the dark cult of National socialism. Within less than a generation, its great cities lay in ruins and its shattered industries and cultural heritage seemed utterly beyond saving. In "Exorcising Hitler", Frederick Taylor tells the story of what came after - the hunting down of the Nazi resitance, the vast displacement of peoples in central and eastern Europe, the attitudes of the conquerors, the competition between Soviet Russia and the West, the hunger and near starvation of a once proud people, and the attempt to expunge Nazism from all aspects of German life.
