D. Eisenhower. General Heinz Guderian's revolutionary strategic vision and his skill in armored combat brought Germany its initial victories during World War II. Combining Guderian's land offensive with Luftwaffe attacks, the Nazi Blitzkrieg decimated the defenses of Poland, Norway, France~and, very nearly, Russia~at the war's outset. But in 1941, when Guderian advised that ground forces should take a step back, Hitler dismissed him. In these pages, the outspoken general shares his candid point of view on what would have led Germany to victory, and what ensured that it didn't. In addition to providing a rare inside look at key members of the Nazi party, Guderian reveals in detail how he developed the Panzer tank forces and orchestrated their various campaigns, from the breakthrough at Sedan to his drive to the Channel coast that virtually decided the Battle of France.

Samantha Power poses a question that haunts our nation's past: Why do American leaders who vow "never again" repeatedly fail to marshal the will and the might to stop genocide? She provides the answer in the form of the suspenseful story of courageous individuals who risked their careers and lives in an effort to get the United States to act. Drawing upon exclusive interviews with Washington's top policymakers, access to thousands of pages of newly declassified documents, and her own reporting from the modern killing fields, Power shows how those who urged U.S. action were thwarted again and again by ignorance, indifference, and, above all, a failure of imagination. In 1915, when Turkey sent its Armenian population on death marches into the desert, U.S. ambassador Henry Morgenthau denounced what he called "race murder." Raphael Lemkin, a Polish attorney appalled by the Turkish atrocities, tried to get European statesmen to criminalize the destruction of ethnic and religious groups, but he was dismissed as alarmist. Six years later, Hitler invaded Poland, and Lemkin lost forty~nine family members in the Holocaust. Landing as a refugee on America's shores, Lemkin resolved to devise a word that would convey the evil under way. In 1944, while working for the U.S. War Department, Lernkin invented the term "genocide." But the U.S. response to genocide since the Holocaust has looked very similar to its response before and during it. Pol Pot's murder of two million Cambodians went unchallenged. The United States supplied aid to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein while he gassed his own people. Despite the largest wave of resignations from the U.S. government since Vietnam, Serb nationalists were left alone to herd Bosnian Muslims into concentration camps in Europe. And in 1994 Rwandan Hutu militants exterminated some 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu without even generating high~level protest from Washington. "A Problem from Hell" combines spellbinding history and seasoned political analysis to do more than merely tell the story of U.S. inaction. Power shows how decent Americans inside and outside government looked away from mass murder by convincing themselves that refugees were lying, that intervention would be futile, or that contemporary genocides did not measure up to the crime they said they would "never again" permit. By allowing readers to hear directly from American decision~makers and dissenters, as well as from the victims of genocide, Power reveals just what was known and what might have been done while millions perished.

Its devastating central argument is this: the Nazis did not rule by terror and terror rarely touched the lives of most ordinary Germans. The terror apparatus at the dark heart of Nazi Germany, set in motion by the Nazi Party leadership in Berlin, employed a selective terror that concentrated almost exclusively on Jews and other specifically targeted enemies of the Nazi regime. It depended for its implementation and effectiveness, however, on the cooperation and often voluntary participation at the local level of the broad mass of ordinary German citizens who themselves suffered little or not at all from Nazi terror. A small but growing contingent of historians of Nazi Germany have begun to view the Gestapo not as an omnipresent organ of terror but as a relatively small organization with few officers and few spies, reliant on the complicity of a meek and "ordinary" German population that largely policed itself: Not until now, however, have these provocative and controversial claims been so convincingly and thoroughly substantiated. By focusing on the role of the individual and on the role of society in making terror work, Johnson is able to definitively and dramatically answer such questions as these: Who were the Gestapo officers? Were they merely banal paper shufflers, as Hannah Arendt depicted Eichmann, or were they hideously and recognizably evil? What tactics did they use? What was it like to be arrested and interrogated by them? Were they motivated by an eliminationist antiSemitism? Did the average German know about the mass murder of Jews and other "undesirables" while it was happening? Exactly how was Nazi terror applied in the daily lives of ordinary Jews and Germans? Johnson spent five years researching in Gestapo and justice archives in three Rhineland communities ~ Cologne, Krefeld and Bergheim ~ reading and analyzing more than 1,100 Gestapo and "special court" case files. He conducted surveys and interviews with German perpetrators, Jewish victims and ordinary Germans who experienced the Third Reich at first hand. Nazi Terror examines more than one thousand individual cases of persecution pertaining to the entire spectrum of people who suffered from Nazi terror~Jews, Communists, Socialists, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, clergymen, the disabled and others. It deals in flesh and blood narratives~sometimes quite graphically~as well as in facts and statistics to tell the story of how the terror~perhaps the defining characteristic of the Nazi dictatorship~was imposed by the Gestapo and tolerated by ordinary Germans. These gripping, shocking and powerful firsthand accounts take the reader into the very heart of darkness: inside the Gestapo headquarters where the victims of Nazi terror were tortured and interrogated. Consequently, Johnson's book is able to settle many nagging questions about who, exactly, was responsible for what, who knew what and when they knew it. Destined to become the classic study of terror during the Nazi dictatorship and the benchmark for the next generation of Nazi and Holocaust scholarship, Eric Johnson's Nazi Terror.
