  • Traumatic Defeat

    Open AccessRobert D BillingerARTICLEJournal of American History2019

    Patrick Gallagher's thesis is straightforward and passionately presented: in both post–World War II West Germany and the post–Vietnam War United States, secret prisoner of war (Pow) camp myths emerged that idolized each nation's Pows and soldiers missing in action (Mia) and “mask[ed] a refusal to accept the realities of war and can threaten to distort the honest telling of the history of such wars” (p. 10). Gallagher is fervent in his insistence …

  • Prisoners of America's Wars

    Robert D BillingerARTICLEJournal of American History2011

    The year 2010 was the year of studies on prisoners of war (POWS). It is about time. Historians have paid scant attention to America’s handling of its POWs. Now Stephanie Carvin’s insights join those of two other readable, but very different studies by Paul Springer and Robert C. Doyle. Springer’s America’s Captives: Treatment of POWs from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror (2010) is full of original archival research that documents how th…

  • Metternich and Austria

    Robert D BillingerARTICLEThe English Historical Review2010

    Does the academic world really need a new book on Metternich and Austria? Alan Sked thinks so, and this reviewer agrees. I would quibble, however, with the inflated self-confidence that leads Sked to dismiss the perspectives of an eminent American historian as ‘nonsense’(p. 58). As in his The Decline and Fall of the Habsburg Empire, 1815–1919 (1989: rev. ante, cvii [1992], 1046–7), Sked attacks both his subject and its interpreters as he seeks ‘t…

    Enno Edward Kraehe, William M. Corcoran Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Virginia, died at the University of Virginia Medical Center on Thursday, December 4, 2008, five days before his eighty-seventh birthday. He was the leading American scholar on the Congress of Vienna and of its most important and colorful participant, Prince Clemens von Metternich

  • Lone Star Stalag

    Robert D Billinger, Michael R WatersARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2005

    Between 1943 and 1945 nearly fifty thousand German prisoners of war, mostly from the German Afrika Korps, lived and worked at seventy POW camps across Texas. Camp Hearne, located on the outskirts of rural Hearne, Texas, was one of the first and largest German prisoner-of-war camps in the United States. Waters and his research team tell the story of the five thousand German soldiers held there during World War II. The book reveals the shadow world…

  • Austria in the Twentieth Century

    Robert D Billinger, Rolf Steininger et al.ARTICLEGerman Studies Review2004

    The fourteen essays in this volume include works by leading Austrian historians and political scientists. Collectively it serves as a basic introduction to a small but trend-setting European country. It is also a basic up-to-date outline of Austria's political history, shedding light on economic and social trends as well. No European country has experienced more dramatic turning points in its twentieth-century history than Austria.This volume div…

  • The Ambivalence of Identity

  • The Problem of Revolution in Germany, 1789-1989

    Robert D Billinger, Reinhard RürupARTICLEGerman Studies Review2003

    Until very recently Germany has frequently been characterized as the 'country without revolution', and the catastrophies of its recent history have been attributed to the lack of successful modernizing impulses. This series of essays by leading German scholars explores the effects of revolutions upon German history from 1789 to 1989 - the date of Germany's 'peaceful revolution' - and discusses the fundamental questions of reform and revolution, t…

  • Hitler's Austria

    Robert D Billinger, Evan Burr BukeyARTICLEGerman Studies Review2000

    Using evidence gathered in Europe and the United States, Evan Bukey crafts a nuanced portrait of popular opinion in Austria, Hitler's homeland, after the country was annexed by Germany in 1938. He demonstrates that despite widespread dissent, discontent and non-compliance, a majority of the Austrian populace supported the Anschluss regime - particularly in its economic, social and anti-Semitic policies - until the bitter end
