‘What We Need to Know About the Holocaust’: An Exchange by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen | The New York Review of Books
To the Editors: Timothy Snyder opens his discussion of my book [“What We Need to Know About the Holocaust,” NYR, September 30] with “Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, by contrast, in Worse Than War, takes the view that we already know all that we need to know about the Holocaust, and indeed about all of the other calamities of the twentieth century.” But on pages 88–89 of Worse Than War, after discussing th
Between Hitler and Stalin
In mid-April 1945 American GIs entered Buchenwald while their British compatriots marched, horrified, into Bergen-Belsen. There they found scenes of unimaginable suffering, men of bones and skin standing, somehow, on spindly legs, amid piles of emaciated corpses. In those dark days at Buchenwald, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower postponed the burial of the dead so that journalists could be brought to the sc
Obama's Torture Problem | David Cole
In the face of overwhelming evidence that numerous US detainees were tortured during the Bush years, President Barack Obama has famously said he wants to “look forward, not back.” He prohibited the use of torture and cruelty in one of his first executive acts, but since then he has consistently resisted all efforts to hold accountable those who, under the prior administration, authorized such mist

The Triumph of the Dark is the second volume in Zara Steiner's gargantuan history of international relations between the wars. The first book, The Lights That Failed, first published in 2005, took the story from 1919 up to January 1933, when Hitler became chancellor of Germany. The Triumph of the Dark deals with the years when postwar history was coming to an end and pre-war history about to begin

Barack Obama under pressure over 9/11 terror trials
