| General note | The Second World War might have officially ended in May 1945, but in reality it rumbled on for another 10 years. This book describes a continent still racked by violence, where large sections of the population had yet to accept that the war was over. |
| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Keith Lowe's Savage Continent is an awe-inspiring portrait of how Europe emerged from the ashes of WWII.<br/><br/>The end of the Second World War saw a terrible explosion of violence across Europe. Prisoners murdered jailers. Soldiers visited atrocities on civilians. Resistance fighters killed and pilloried collaborators. Ethnic cleansing, civil war, rape and murder were rife in the days, months and years after hostilities ended. Exploring a Europe consumed by vengeance, Savage Continent is a shocking portrait of an until-now unacknowledged time of lawlessness and terror.<br/><br/>Praise for Savage Continent:<br/><br/>'Deeply harrowing, distinctly troubling. Moving, measured and provocative. A compelling and plausible picture of a continent physically and morally brutalized by slaughter' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times<br/><br/>'Excellent', Independent<br/><br/>'Unbearable but essential. A serious account of things we never knew and our fathers would rather forget. Lowe's transparent prose makes it difficult to look away from a whole catalogue of horrors...you won't sleep afterwards. Such good history it keeps all the questions boiling in your mind', Scotsman<br/><br/>Keith Lowe is widely recognized as an authority on the Second World War, and has often spoken on TV and radio, both in Britain and the United States. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Inferno: The Devastation of Hamburg, 1943 (Penguin). He lives in north London with his wife and two children. |
