In the spirit of historians Howard Zinn, Gwynne Dyer, and Noam Chomsky, Jacques Pauwels focuses on the big picture. Like them, he seeks to find the real reasons for the actions of great powers and great leaders. Familiar Second World War figures from Adolf Hitler to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin are portrayed in a new light in this book. The decisions of Hitler and his Nazi government to go to war were not those of madmen.

Communities Left Behind demonstrates ho...
Jacques Pauwels, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nda oynadığı rolü inceleyen kitabında, bu savaşın Amerikan tarihindeki en hayırlı savaş olduğuna dair söylenceyi sorguluyor. Bir anlamda ABD’nin ‘‘gizli tarihini’’ anlatan çalışma, ‘‘kirli gerçeklerin’’ üzerine örtülmüş perdeyi aralamak için yanıtlanması zor sorulara cevap arıyor: Neden bu kadar çok Amerikalı savaştan önce faşizme yakınlık duyuyordu?
