In the summer of 1914, most of Europe plunged into a war so catastrophic that it unhinged the continent's politics and beliefs in a way that took generations to recover from.
The disaster terrified its survivors, shocked that a civilization that had blandly assumed itself to be a model for the rest of the world had collapsed into a chaotic savagery beyond any comparison.
In 1939, Europeans would initiate a second conflict that managed to be even worse - a war in which the killing of civilians was central and which culminated in the Holocaust.
To Hell and Back tells this story with humanity, flair and originality. Kershaw gives a compelling narrative of events, but he also wrestles with the most difficult issues that the events raise - with what it meant for the Europeans who initiated and lived through such fearful times - and what this means for us.

Geschichte
To an extraordinary extent we continue to live in the shadow of the classical world. At every level, from languages to calendars to political systems, we are the descendants of a “classical Europe,” using frames of reference created by ancient Mediterranean cultures. As this consistently fresh and surprising new audio book makes clear, however, this was no less true for the inhabitants of those classical civilizations themselves, whose myths, history, and buildings were an elaborate engagement with an already old and revered past - one filled with great leaders and writers....

Geschichte
Hailed as the most compelling biography of the German dictator yet written, Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the heart of its subject's immense darkness. From his illegitimate birth in a small Austrian village to his fiery death in a bunker under the Reich chancellery in Berlin, Adolf Hitler left a murky trail, strewn with contradictory tales and overgrown with self-created myths. One truth prevails: the sheer scale of the evils that he unleashed on the world has made him a demonic figure without equal in the 20th century.

Geschichte
A magisterial, single volume history of the greatest conflict the world has ever known by our foremost military historian. The Second World War began in August 1939 on the edge of Manchuria and ended there exactly six years later with the Soviet invasion of northern China. The war in Europe appeared completely divorced from the war in the Pacific and China, and yet events on opposite sides of the world had profound effects.

With an unrivaled combination of depth and global reach, Pandora's Box reveals how profoundly the war shaped the world to come. Jörn Leonhard treats the clash of arms with a sure feel for grand strategy, the everyday tactics of dynamic movement and slow attrition, the race for ever more destructive technologies, and the grim experiences of frontline soldiers.

Geschichte
The First World War created the modern world. A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the 20th century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times - modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society - and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment.

Geschichte
The battle for Stalingrad became the focus of Hitler and Stalin's determination to win the gruesome, vicious war on the eastern front. The citizens of Stalingrad endured unimaginable hardship; the battle, with fierce hand-to-hand fighting in each room of each building, was brutally destructive to both armies. But the eventual victory of the Red Army, and the failure of Hitler's Operation Barbarossa, was the first defeat of Hitler's territorial ambitions in Europe and the start of his decline.

Geschichte
With this exciting and historically rich six-lecture course, experience for yourself the drama of this dynamic year in medieval history, centered on the landmark Norman Conquest. Taking you from the shores of Scandinavia and France to the battlefields of the English countryside, these lectures will plunge you into a world of fierce Viking warriors, powerful noble families, politically charged marriages, tense succession crises, epic military invasions, and much more.Your journey starts in the 10th and early 11th centuries, when power in England and Normandy was very much up for grabs-and when the small island nation was under continuous assault from Viking forces. Professor Paxton helps you gain a solid grasp of the complex political alliances and shifting relationships between figures such as Emma of Normandy, Cnut, and Edward the Confessor. She also recounts for you the two seminal battles that pitted England against the Scandinavians and the Normans: the Battle of Stamford Bridge and the Battle of Hastings. Throughout the lectures, Dr. Paxton opens your eyes to continued debates and controversies over this year and offers her own take on the Norman Conquest's enduring legacy and the fascinating results of this epic clash. By exploring the year 1066-what led up to it, what happened during that fateful year, and what changed as a result-you'll gain a sharper perspective and a greater understanding of everything that would come afterward.

Geschichte
The Holy Roman Empire lasted 1,000 years, far longer than ancient Rome. Yet this formidable dominion never inspired the awe of its predecessor. Voltaire quipped that it was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire. Yet as Peter H. Wilson shows, the Holy Roman Empire tells a millennial story of Europe better than the histories of individual nation-states.

Des Krieges Hunde entfesseln
Allerfeinste Geschichtsschreibung aus dem Hause Kershaw mit dem zweiten Dreißigjährigen Krieg als Ihrem faszinierend-abgründigen Gegenstand. Und dieser Krieg war der Vater oder doch zumindest der Patenonkel so vieler Dinge: Enorme Entwicklungsschübe in Technik und Industrialisierung, Revolutionen und Bürgerkriege, wissenschaftliche Paradigmenwechsel, fiebrig-produktive kulturelle Vielfalt, Verrohung der politischen Kultur, Desillusionierung und ein ganz neues Lebensgefühl das Ausdruck fand in Literatur, Kunst und Musik, Aufstieg und erbitterter Kampf zwischen totalitären Ideologien und Herrschaftssystemen, Hyperinflation, Massenarbeitslosigkeit und Große Depression, Völkermord und Weltenbrand und schließlich kaltkriegerische Aufteilung der Welt zwischen zwei Machtblöcken. Ian Kershaw erzählt spannend, vornehm, in einer glasklaren Sprache mit großer Erklärungskraft. Die besten Erzähler bringen konkrete Schicksale und weite Horizonte, große Entwicklungstendenzen und deren Auswirkungen auf das Leben der Menschen die hineingeboren waren in dieses "Zeitalter der Extreme" zusammen. Für meine Ohren souverän gelesen.

Narration issues
The narrator, otherwise fairly professional, uses fake accents for non-English people, which might be useful in literary productions to distinguish a vast cast of people but is absolutely unnecessary and offensive in this non-fiction work. Accents are very often used to denigrate people. But these people did NOT speak English and so did not have an accent. Also, the audio quality has its ups and downs.

Classic historical narrative
The narrator even changes his accent, when foreigners are quoted. That was fun, though sometimes the impersonations Drew to heavyli on stereotypes.

Aus der Geschichte lernen
Gerade in Zeiten wiedererstarkenden radikalen nationalen Tendenzen ist diese umfangreiche Mahnung ein Muss. Gerade wegen der Detailtiefe und der Betrachtung aller Länder in dieser kriegerischen Phase habe ich viel dazu gelernt. Vor allem aber: nur mit einem starken Europa wird es keinen Krieg mehr geben...

Very good summary of the period.
Very recommended for people who have no or only partial knowledge of the time. The book gives a very coherent summary for someone who wants a broad overview.
Though for people who already read or even studied the period it may appear too superficial.
