The Crash of Ruin - Peter Schrijvers - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Crash of Ruin - Peter Schrijvers - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book offers a compelling account of how America''s combat soldiers experienced Europe during World War II. It paints a vivid picture of the GIs'' struggles with its natural surroundings, their confrontations with its soldiers, their encounters with its civilians, and their reactions to uncovering the holocaust. The book shows how these harrowing experiences convinced the American soldiers that Europe''s collapse was not just the result of the war, but also of the Old World''s deep-seated political cynicism, economic stagnation, and cultural decadence.

Remaking the Conquering Heroes - J. Willoughby - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Remaking the Conquering Heroes - J. Willoughby - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Remaking the Conquering Heroes shows that American policymakers and Army officers had to confront and take control over a lawless US military in the aftermath of World War II. Money laundering, theft, racial antagonism between black and white GIs, unregulated sex, and high rates of venereal disease threatened to undermine American authority in occupied Germany as much as Soviet-American conflict. Willoughby argues that it was the creative, if disorganized, reaction of American officials in Germany that helped create both a foreign policy framework and more inclusive, familial military establishment capable of consolidating and extending US power during the Cold War.

The Margraten Boys - P. Schrijvers - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In the peaceful Dutch village of Margraten, a stone''s throw from what once was Nazi Germany, ten thousand young American men are forever resting side by side amid rich pastures and lush orchards.They fought and died in the most epic battles of World War II in Europe: Operation Market Garden, the Siegfried Line campaign, the Hürtgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge, the Rhine and Roer River crossings, and the air offensive over Germany.In 1945 the liberated villagers vowed never to forget the sacrifices of the Margraten boys. This is the moving story of how, in a unique way, these grateful villagers have kept their word to the GIs and their families in America by caring for the graves of the soldiers up until the present day.
