The History of the Galician Division of the Waffen SS
The second volume of the definitive history of the 14th Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS (Ukrainische Nr 1). The lavishly illustrated concluding volume of the division's history features chapters on its reformation, deployment against Communist-backed partisans in Slovakia, the forced march to Slovenia, anti-partisan action against Tito's partisans in Slovenia and its committal for the final time on the Eastern Front against the Red Army in Austria. It concludes with an investigation into the Division's escape from repatriation a subject which has long been the subject of contention amongst historians.

Deutsche Herrschaft, ukrainischer Nationalismus, antijüdische Gewalt
Kaum ein Thema in der Geschichte des Holocaust hat solche Kontroversen ausgelöst wie Gewalttaten gegen Juden von einheimischer Seite in den von der Wehrmacht während der ersten Wochen des deutsch-sowjetischen Krieges im Sommer 1941 besetzten Gebieten –von Lettland bis Bessarabien. Die Studie untersucht Gewalttaten von deutscher und ukrainischer Seite anhand der Geschehnisse in mehreren Dutzend Orten in der Westukraine und fragt auch nach der Bedeutung eines sowjetischen Massenmords an Gefängnisinsassen vor dem Rückzug. Auf breiter Quellengrundlage und unter umfassender Berücksichtigung der Kontexte – des Holocaust, der sowjetischen Verbrechen sowie des Versuchs einer ukrainischen Staatsbildung – entsteht so ein neuer Blick auf die Geschehnisse. Kai Struve hat ein Standardwerk vorgelegt, welches in den Kontroversen um NS- und Sowjetverbrechen unverzichtbar sein wird.

A Century of State Murder?
Russia has one of the lowest rates of adult life expectancy in the world. Average life expectancy for a man in America is 74; in Russia, it is just 59. Birth rates and population levels have also plummeted. These excess levels of mortality affect all countries that formed the former Soviet bloc. Running into many millions, they raise obvious comparisons with the earlier period of forced transition under Stalin. This book seeks to put the recent history of the transition into a longer-term perspective by identifying, explaining and comparing the pattern of change in Russia in the last century. It offers a sharp challenge to the conventional wisdom and benign interpretations offered in the west of what has happened since 1991. Through a careful survey of the available primary and secondary sources, Mike Haynes and Rumy Husan have produced the first and most complete and accurate account of Russian demographic crisis from the Revolution to the present.
The Senility of Vladimir P
As provocative and spiky as Look Who's Back, Michael Honig's The Senility of Vladimir P is a strangely moving, blackly funny and frankly brilliant calling to account of Vladimir Putin, of power and greed, and of our own moral complicity.
