Nazis at the Watercooler
Nazis at the Watercooler chronicles a historic injustice quieted by German government officials and abetted by the CIA: the ease with which Nazi war criminals were able to land jobs in the postwar civil service, largely because of a callous indifference among German authorities about job candidates' wartime records.

The Death Marches
Co-winner of the Yad Vashem International Book Prize for Holocaust Research From January 1945, in the last months of the Third Reich, about 250,000 inmates of concentration camps perished on death marches and in countless incidents of mass slaughter. They were murdered with merciless brutality by their SS guards, by army and police units, and often by gangs of civilians as they passed through German and Austrian towns and villages. Even in the bloody annals of the Nazi regime, this final death blow was unique in character and scope. In this first comprehensive attempt to answer the questions raised by this final murderous rampage, the author draws on the testimonies of victims, perpetrators,...
The Art of Losing
Since South Africa’s readmission to world cricket in 1991, the Proteas have played in six World Cups (and four World T20 tournaments) and have been knocked out in all of them. The reasons range from the weather and misreading the Duckworth–Lewis table to being outwitted on the field itself. In the most recent tournaments, though, they have shown a scandalous lack of nerve in the pressure-cooker of international knockout cricket. Drawing from interviews with the major protagonists and behind-the-scenes officials, The Art of Losing recreates the drama of these matches. With fresh anecdotes, stories and insights, it also attempts to explain why World Cup failure has become a habit. Does the...

Identität in Bewegung
Bewegungsengagement ist nicht nur eine Frage politischer Überzeugung. Wenn es dauerhaft sein soll, verbinden sich für die AktivistInnen oft Alltag und Politik zu einem untrennbaren Ganzen. Wie diese Verbindung sich in Prozessen kollektiver Identität niederschlägt, untersucht der Autor am Beispiel der Autonomen und der Schwulenbewegung.
Transcending Dystopia
"Transcending Dystopia features pioneering research on the role music played in its various connections to and contexts of Jewish communal life and cultural activity in Germany from 1945 to 1989. As the first history of the Jewish communities' musical practices during the postwar and Cold War eras, it tells the story of how the traumatic experience of the Holocaust led to transitions and transformations, and the significance of music in these processes. As such, it relies on music to draw together three areas of inquiry: the Jewish community, the postwar Germanys and their politics after the Holocaust (occupied Germany, the Federal Republic, the Democratic Republic, and divided Berlin), and ...
