The disaster terrified its survivors, shocked that a civilization that had blandly assumed itself to be a model for the rest of the world had collapsed into a chaotic savagery beyond any comparison. In 1939 Europeans would initiate a second conflict that managed to be even worse - a war in which the killing of civilians was central and which culminated in the Holocaust. To Hell and Back tells this story with humanity, flair and originality. Kershaw gives a compelling narrative of events, but he also wrestles with the most difficult issues that the events raise - with what it meant for the Europeans who initiated and lived through such fearful times - and what this means for us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087987564695,"sku":"9780141980430","price":980.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780141980430.webp?v=1767641179","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/to-hell-and-back-9780141980430","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
