PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Andrew H. Beattie is Senior Lecturer in German and European Studies at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. An authority on the politics of history and memory in Germany, he is the author of Playing Politics with History: The Bundestag Inquiries into East Germany (2008).
'This book is a clear and detailed account of the internment by the Allies of more than 400,000 Germans after the Second World War. Building upon impressive research, Andrew H. Beattie corrects commonly-held assumptions about the contrasts between Soviet camps on the one side and western Allies' camps on the other. Altogether, a valuable re-assessment of an important subject.' Richard Bessel, University of York 'In this deeply researched and carefully argued study of the Allied internment of over 400,000 Nazis and other Germans in post-World War II Germany, Andrew H. Beattie explores a critical yet little-known dimension of the occupation. Among other significant findings, Beattie effectively demonstrates that the Soviet zone 'special camps' should not be considered as markedly distinct from internment camps in the Western zones.' Norman M. Naimark, Stanford University, California 'Beattie provides a new perspective on the history of internment in post-1945 Germany ... Andrew Beattie offers an essential contribution to our understanding of postwar internment.' Jean-Michel Turcotte, H-War '... it is a well-structured and very well written book that provides an excellent introduction to a topic that has long been neglected by historical research.'
