Confronting History - A Memoir

Informationen zum Autor George L. Mosse (1918-99) was the John C. Bascom Professor of European History and Weinstein-Bascom Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was also the Koebner Professor of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was selected as the first scholar-in-residence at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. He wrote more than two dozen books, including Nationalism and Sexuality , Toward the Final Solution , and Nazi Culture: Intellectual, Cultural, and Social Life in the Third Reich , also published by the University of Wisconsin Press. Klappentext Just two weeks before his death in January 1999, George L. Mosse, one of the great American historians, finished writing his memoir, a fascinating account of a remarkable life that spanned three continents and many of the major events of the twentieth century. Confronting History is guided in part by his belief that "what man is, only history tells” and, most of all, by the importance of finding one's self through the pursuit of truth and through an honest and unflinching analysis of one's place in the context of the times.
