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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47451594948827,"sku":"9780141980430-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1280088d-b2d5-4a46-8831-2cae721809f4.jpg?v=1755233766","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780141980430-secondhand-to-hell-and-back-europe-1914-1949","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
