"No historian is better suited than Istvan Deak to survey collaboration, resistance, and retribution in relation to the Second World War. Europe on Trial excavates the complexities, ambiguities, and ironies of these occupation experiences. Deak s insightful analysis and vibrant storytelling also follows an unerring moral compass. Here is a master scholar s eloquent meditation on Hitler s Europe." James Mace Ward, University of Rhode Island
This is an excellent contribution on an important subject by an experienced scholar. The truly European range of the exposition is impressive; the attempt at evaluative balance is exemplary. Konrad H. Jarausch, University of North Carolina
In Europe on Trial, acclaimed historian Istvan Deak explores the history of collaboration, retribution, and resistance during World War II. These three themes are examined through the experiences of people and countries under German occupation, as well as Soviet, Italian, and other military rule. Those under foreign rule faced innumerable moral and ethical dilemmas, including the question of whether to cooperate with their occupiers, try to survive the war without any political involvement, or risk their lives by becoming resisters. Many chose all three, depending on wartime conditions. Following the brutal war, the author discusses the purges of real or alleged war criminals and collaborators, through various acts of violence, deportations, and judicial proceedings at the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal as well as in thousands of local courts. Europe on Trial helps us to understand the many moral consequences both during and immediately following World War II.
