About This Book

The author presents a documented investigation of wartime violence in occupied regions, combining on-site observations, interviews with survivors, photographs, captured German diaries, and official commission reports. Chapters analyze the nature and purported philosophy behind the violence, examine broader political schemes said to have driven the campaign, outline the stakes confronting the United States and its allies, and compile German claims and records. The text juxtaposes witness testimony and visual evidence with commentary aimed at explaining causes and cataloging specific incidents, and includes illustrations intended to corroborate the reported abuses.
