The Politics of Retribution in Europe (2000) Istvan Deak Gross Judt PB Very Good

Princeton Univerity Press, 2000. Trade paperback of The Politics of Retribution in Europe: World War II and Its Aftermath, edited by István Deák, Jan T. Gross, and Tony Judt.

This collection of essays reveals that, contrary to popular belief, many Europeans cooperated with Nazi rule, and the subsequent process of retribution was fraught with challenges, including the fact that some judges were former collaborators themselves. This work sheds light on the collective amnesia that overtook European societies concerning their own responsibilities for wartime atrocities, an issue that has only recently begun to be addressed through painful introspection across the continent.

Very Good. Nice book with light shelf wear.
