Product Information

A vivid account of German-occupied Europe during World War II that reveals civilians' struggle to understand the terrifying chaos of war In An Iron Wind , prize-winning historian Peter Fritzsche draws diaries, letters, and other first-person accounts to show how civilians in occupied Europe tried to make sense of World War II. As the Third Reich targeted Europe's Jews for deportation and death, confusion and mistrust reigned. What were Hitler's aims? Did Germany's rapid early victories mark the start of an enduring new era? Was collaboration or resistance the wisest response to occupation? How far should solidarity and empathy extend? And where was God? People desperately tried to understand the horrors around them, but the stories they told themselves often justified a selfish indifference to their neighbors' fates. Piecing together the broken words of the war's witnesses and victims, Fritzsche offers a haunting picture of the most violent conflict in modern history.

Reviews
"A thoroughly worked example of social historyat its most valuable. It could serve as a model for studies of our own times."-- New York Journal of Books, Kirkus Reviews "Startlingly illuminating... Fritzsche draws on copious diaries, letters, and memoirs to convey the texture of everyday life for French, Polish, and Swiss citizens during World War II... [a] powerful, riveting, wrenching history." Saul Friedlnder, professor emeritus of history, UCLA and author of The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews "Peter Fritzsche's An Iron Wind is a long-overdue historical tapestry of the voices of prejudice, hatred, despair, or illusion that express the mostly undocumented mindsets at all levels of society in Europe under Hitler. This searing book is a must." Ronald C. Rosbottom, author of When Paris Went Dark: The City of Light Under German Occupation "Moving deftly, and with a trenchant narrative force, Peter Fritzsche details the varieties of German occupation of other European countries during World War II. Ranging among the equivocations of frightened, neutral states such as Switzerland; the brutal disintegration of Poland; and the state collaboration of France, Fritzsche argues that no two occupations were the same. An Iron Wind illustrates, through an astute, objective, and coherent use of eyewitness accounts, how military occupation, the longer it lasts, becomes the Achilles heel of any conquest. If we are to understand Europe and its divisions today, we must know which collective memories still resonate with the continent's inhabitants. He subtly reminds us how the dark presence of 'the iron wind' continues to whisper seductively." Modris Eksteins, professor emeritus of history, University of Toronto, and author of Rites of Spring "Peter Fritzsche has attempted the impossible: to capture, in a brief and readable volume, the mood of both the agents and victims of German occupation during World War II. How does one judge and articulate, let alone quantify, anguish, dread, hatred, and horror? Fritzsche is deeply aware of the difficulties, and that modesty is one of the many merits of this remarkable book.", New York Times Book Review, 100 Notable Books of 2016 New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice New York Times Book Review "A work of deep reflection by an experienced historian rather than an attempt to capture the history of World War II from any particular angle. Still, his announced theme -- the moral challenges of the war for civilians in Europe -- gives way at the beginning to set pieces on other subjects: the ones, the reader suspects, that Fritzsche finds most interesting. It is a pleasure to follow along." Christian Science Monitor "Riveting, important... the most bracing and unsparing dissection of the subject to appear in many years." Kirkus Reviews "Startlingly illuminating...
