Inside Hitler's Greece: The Experience of Occupation, 1941-44 de Mark Mazower

Inside Hitler's Greece: The Experience of Occupation, 1941-44

Autor Mark Mazower
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 feb 2001

Bazându-ne pe cercetările de arhivă de o profunzime remarcabilă și pe recenziile unor istorici de prestigiu precum Richard Overy, descoperim în Inside Hitler's Greece o analiză exhaustivă a experienței umane sub ocupația nazistă. Această ediție revizuită, publicată sub egida Yale University Press, nu se limitează la cronologia militară, ci pătrunde „sub pielea” societății elene, explorând modul în care valorile și viețile oamenilor obișnuiți au fost radical transformate între 1941 și 1944. Reținem o structură narativă ce împletește destinele unor figuri contrastante: de la sătenii înfometați și luptătorii din munți, până la adolescenții germani trimiși pe front și agenții Gestapo. Mark Mazower reușește să redea tensiunea unor alegeri dureroase și a compromisurilor cinice impuse de un regim de teroare. Cartea completează perspectiva oferită de Surviving Hitler and Mussolini de Robert Gildea, adăugând o focalizare specifică pe spațiul balcanic și pe mecanismele interne ale foametei și rezistenței grecești, față de abordarea comparativă europeană a lui Gildea. În contextul operei sale, acest volum reprezintă fundamentul pe care autorul a construit ulterior lucrări precum The Balkans sau The Greek Revolution, rafinând tranziția de la istoria socială a ocupației la marea istorie diplomatică și politică a regiunii. Stilul este precis și echilibrat, oferind o imagine vie a unei națiuni care, deși zdrobită, a căutat constant forme de supraviețuire și demnitate.

Descriere scurtă

This gripping and richly illustrated account of wartime Greece explores the impact of the Nazi Occupation upon the lives and values of ordinary people. The first full account of the experience of occupation, it offers a vividly human picture of resistance fighters and black marketeers, teenage German conscripts and Gestapo officers, Jews and starving villagers.

"Fascinating. . . . [Mazower] succeeds in getting under the skin of the occupation. . . . [This book] conjures up, in vivid detail, life under an occupation that had shattered old certainties and replaced them with painful choices, cynical compromises, and hopes undercut by the daily death toll." —Mark Almond, New York Times

"A vivid picture of the German occupier’s mind and actions. . . . Mazower’s arguments are always fair." —Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"A superb book on the horrors afflicting wartime Greece. . . . [Mazower] has done vast archival research and emerged with a gripping, readable and human account, setting every moment of a tragic period in appropriate context." —Fritz Stern, Foreign Affairs

"[A] sensitive, illuminating and richly textured account of painful, complex experience." —Richard Overy, Observer
Mark Mazower is professor of history at Birkbeck College, University of London, and author of Dark Continent.

[This book] conjures up, in vivid detail, life under an occupation that had shattered old certainties and replaced them with painful choices, cynical compromises and hopes undercut by the daily death toll."—Mark Almond, The Times


"This is the first thorough account in English of almost every aspect of life in Axis-occupied Greece. It draws on a mass of material, including Greek wartime newspapers and German military archives. All of this is absorbed into a highly readable narrative and illustrated with sometimes heartbreaking contemporary photographs."—Noel Malcolm, The Sunday Telegraph


"Scholarly in its use of sources, yet rich in feeling and full of vivid descriptions. The account of tens of thousands of people starving to death is harrowing and appalling; the civil insurrection which followed and the ensuing acts of brutality on both sides are presented with equal pathos."—Max Davidson, Daily Telegraph


"[A] notable study . . . the first of its kind in English."—Publishers Weekly


"His documentation is overwhelming. . . . A grinding, horrific experience, intimately explored."—Kirkus Reviews


"Using the vast German military archive, Mazower draws a vivid picture of the German occupier's mind and actions. . . . Mazower's arguments are always fair."—Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review


"A well-researched and riveting study of life under Nazi occupation; and essential addition to any modern history collection."—Elizabeth Shostak, Wilson Library Bulletin


"Already acknowledged (the British edition) as one of the best books on modern Greece, this finely produced study surveys in depth the vicissitudes of WWII in modern Greece. . . . This book, whose scholarship is exceeded perhaps only by its elegant style, is a sine qua non for anyone interested in WWII in general and modern Greece in particular. Highly recommended for all libraries."—Choice


"A terrific read. . . . A remarkable achievement, one of those rare works of history which no reader will soon forget. It combines analysis and narrative in unobtrusive and elegant ways and makes a major contribution to our understanding of modern Greece. There is nothing remotely like it in English or any other language. It makes an important contribution to our understanding of the Second World War as a social reality."—Jonathan Steinberg, Bulletin of Judeo-Greek Studies


"A superb book on the horrors afflicting wartime Greece. . . . [Mazower] has done vast archival research and emerged with a gripping, readable and human account, setting every moment of a tragic period in appropriate context. . . . Richly illustrated and made more valuable by judgments explicitly relevant to the history of World War II."—Fritz Stern, Foreign Affairs


"This outstanding study provides a detailed, sensitive, and complex view of Greece under Italian and German occupation. . . . A major contribution to the growing literature on the impact of war and occupation on European society. . . . A wonderful achievement; it may tell us more than we would like to know about human folly and brutality."—Omer Bartov, The Historian


"A well-conceived study and invaluable resource for scholars seeking insights into the conditions of life in and popular responses to wartime occupation with its accompanying hardships and brutalities. . . . Mazower's 'bottom up' approach, with its emphasis on social and economic conditions in occupied Greece and its comprehensive treatment of them, makes his study one of the most important additions to Greek historiography in recent years."—S. Victor Papacosma, American Historical Review


"Mark Mazower's book is crisp, clear, and learned; and the analysis he offers of the transformation of Greek society under the hammer blows of conquest, famine, mounting civil violence, and Nazi mismanagement is masterly. . . . No one has told the story so well before, and . . . this book clearly supersedes all earlier accounts of the occupation years."—William H. McNeill, Journal of Modern History


"Based on a wealth of archival sources, with a balanced tone, and sound in its conclusions, Mazower's book is important for understanding the dynamics of wartime occupation, not only in Greece but throughout Europe, and the ways in which it shattered old certainties and replaced them with fragile hopes that largely fell victim to daily violence and cynical postwar compromises."—Stephen G. Fritz, German Studies Review



Joint Winner of the 1993 Fraenkel Prize in Contemporary History


"One of the very best books in any language, to have been written on wartime Greece. Indeed . . . one of the most significant books to have been written on modern Greece as a whole."—Richard Clogg


"Mark Mazower's compelling and scholarly account of the occupation of Greece by the axis is doubly invaluable . . . Dr. Mazower's study of occupied Greece is based on an impressive range of archival and secondary sources in several languages. It is not only both comprehensive and readable but also topical."—Tim Kirk


"Mazower's crisp, dramatic presentation of all aspects of life in occupied Greece is a model of clarity and compactness. The politics of occupation, collaboration, resistance, and plain survival are elaborated in vivid detail. There is a brightness of vision in this work, which is as unyielding and unsentimental as the craggy beauty of Greece."—Ivo Banac
