A lexander V azansky . An Army in Crisis
This book examines the state of US Army forces stationed in the Federal Republic of Germany during the latter years of the Vietnam War and its immediate aftermath, when the army experienced declining morale and increasing scrutiny from the American press, Congress, and West Germans. The author persuasively attributes the “social crisis” experienced by the US Army in West Germany during the period to three developments (xiii). The movements demand…
Ordinary Organizations
Stefan Kühl takes a sociological approach to the familiar question of why seemingly normal men engaged in the rounding up and killing of Jewish men, women, and children in the Holocaust and offers “a decidedly sociological answer” (2). Applying organizational sociology drawing from systems theory, he argues that the organizations to which the perpetrators belonged played a crucial role in bringing individuals with a variety of different motives t…
Winning the Peace
The British occupation of Germany after the Second World War represents a relatively understudied field. Christopher Knowles’s persuasive monograph will be essential reading for anyone interested in the subject. He takes a wisely crafted approach, focusing his attention on twelve Britons who had substantial responsibilities in the occupation between 1945 and 1948. Knowles organizes his book into sections treating the men in three groups. Starting…
Susan L. Carruthers. The Good Occupation
In her lively and accessibly written study The Good Occupation: American Soldiers and the Hazards of Peace, Susan L. Carruthers details the experiences of American occupiers in the wake of the Second World War, devoting sustained attention to both Germany and Japan. Carruthers aims to complicate what she discerns as a prevailing popular conception that those occupations were a complete success. The introduction poses the question of how, followin…

Katharina Gerund. Transatlantic Cultural Exchange
The Emergence and Early Demise of Codified Racial Segregation of Prisoners of War under the Geneva Conventions of 1929 and 1949
Civilization, Barbarism, and the Ethos of Self-Control among the Perpetrators
Labeling the perpetrators of the Holocaust as barbarians obscures more than it clarifies. Evidence suggests that many perpetrators found killing unarmed victims distasteful, but they asserted and celebrated their ability to discipline their emotional weakness and to overcome feelings of human sympathy. Viewed in light of Norbert Elias’s insights concerning the civilizing process as the molding of emotions to meet social expectations, the perpetra…
Vorort von New York? Die Amerikaner in Bremerhaven
This excellent study examines the interactions between the citizens of Bremerhaven and the Americans in their midst over the years between 1945 and 1993, when the United States military maintained a substantial base in the city. Ritter demonstrates that Bremerhaven was unique in important respects that affected the nature and consequences of the German–American contacts there. As a port city founded in the nineteenth century in the shadow of its …
