Hitler Ian Kershaw [Kershaw, Ian] W. W. Norton Company, Hitler #1, 1991
"The Hitler biography of the twenty-first century" (Richard J. Evans), Ian Kershaw's Hitler is a new, distilled, one-volume masterpiece that will become the standard work. From Hitler's origins as a failed artist in fin-de-siecle Vienna to the terrifying last days in his Berlin bunker, Kershaw's richly illustrated biography is a mesmerizing portrait of how Hitler attained, exercised, and retained power. Drawing on previously untapped sources, such as Goebbels's diaries, Kershaw addresses crucial questions about the unique nature of Nazi radicalism, about the Holocaust, and about the poisoned European world that allowed Hitler to operate so effectively.

L'Europe en enfer (1914-1949) KERSHAW, Ian [KERSHAW, Ian] Le Seuil, 2017
Publisher Synopsis: Few authors would have the ability, and perhaps the determination, to take on the history of both world wars and the connecting decades at this level of sophistication, depth and breadth -- Robert Tombs The Times It is true that his subject could hardly be more familiar, but it is a great achievement to cover such vast historical territory in under 600 pages and with such scrupulous balance, care and good sense. Other historians' books on the same period may be flashier or more provocative. But to read Kershaw on Europe's bloody century is to be driven through a ravaged landscape in the sleek, smooth comfort of a Rolls-Royce, guided by a historian who probably knows the territory better than anybody else on the planet -- Dominic Sandbrook The Sunday Times Ian Kershaw is the historian that other academic historians most admire ... Prof Kershaw sits at the very top of his profession. He is one of a tiny handful of historians whose books will still be read in 100 years. So he takes a big risk by moving out of his area of expertise in order to write an all-encompassing history of Europe in the 20th century. His courage has paid off. To Hell and Back, the first of two volumes on the subject, is a triumph -- Laurence Rees The Mail on Sunday A triumph -- Lawrence Rees Mail on Sunday Kershaw leads his readers through this complex history in a clear and compelling manner -- Joanna Bourke Prospect To Hell and Back should be required reading in every chancellery, every editorial cockpit and every place where peevish Euroskeptics do their thinking -- Harold Evans The New York Times Authoritative -- Nicholas Shakespeare Telegraph

A Patrician's progress -- Illusions and delusions about Hitler -- Downfall of the Air Minister -- Nazi friends -- Lengthening shadows -- Hope at last -- End of the dream -- Out in the cold -- Mount Stewart, September 1947.;Ian Kershaw's biography of Adolf Hitler is widely regarded as the definitive work on the subject, as well as one of the most brilliant biographies of our time. In Making Friends with Hitler, the great scholar shines remarkable new light on decisions that led to war by tracing the extraordinary story of Lord Londonderry'one of Britain's wealthiest aristocrats, cousin of Winston Churchill, confidant of the king, and the only British cabinet member to outwardly support the Nazi party. Through Londonderry's tragic tale, Kershaw shows us that behind the accepted dogma of English appeasement and German bullying is a much more complicated and interesting reality'full of miscalculations on both sides that proved to be among the most fateful in history.

La Fin. Allemagne (1944-1945) Kershaw, Ian Le Seuil, 2012
De l’attentat manqué contre Hitler, le 20 juillet 1944, à la capitulation du 8 mai 1945, l’Allemagne tombe peu à peu dans la folie meurtrière et la destruction. C’est un pays tout entier qui se transforme en immense charnier. Les morts – civils tués sous les bombardements alliés, rescapés des camps victimes des « marches de la mort », soldats sacrifiés dans des batailles perdues d’avance... – se comptent par milliers. Malgré tout, la guerre dure, le régime tient. La Wehrmacht continue d’envoyer des soldats combattre sur le front.Pourquoi la guerre a-t-elle duré si longtemps ? Comment expliquer l’incroyable résistance du régime nazi au milieu des décombres ? C’est pour répondre à ces questions que le grand historien britannique Ian Kershaw a entrepris ce vaste récit des derniers mois de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’obstination fanatique du Führer, l’emprise du parti nazi sur la population, la peur viscérale de l’armée Rouge, mais aussi les choix stratégiques et militaires des Alliés sont quelques-unes des hypothèses explorées dans ce livre, qui est aussi une réflexion brillante sur les rouages du régime nazi au moment de son agonie.Traduit de l’anglais par Pierre-Emmanuel Dauzat.Ian Kershaw est professeur d’histoire contemporaine à l’université de Sheffield. Il est l’auteur d’une monumentale biographie de Hitler (Flammarion, 2000 et 2001) et a publié au Seuil : Choix fatidiques. Dix décisions qui ont changé le monde (2009, « Points Histoire », 2012).

Hitler. 1936-1945: Nemesis Ian Kershaw Penguin Books, Limited, London, 2001
The climax and conclusion of one of the best-selling biographies of our time. The New Yorker declared the first volume of Ian Kershaw’s two-volume masterpiece “as close to definitive as anything we are likely to see,” and that promise is fulfilled in this stunning second volume. As Nemesis opens, Adolf Hitler has achieved absolute power within Germany and triumphed in his first challenge to the European powers. Idolized by large segments of the population and firmly supported by the Nazi regime, Hitler is poised to subjugate Europe. Nine years later, his vaunted war machine destroyed, Allied forces sweeping across Germany, Hitler will end his life with a pistol shot to his head. * * *

Now available in a single, abridged paperback, Ian Kershaw's Hitler is the definitive biography of the Nazi leader. Ian Kershaw's two volume biography, Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris and Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis, was greeted with universal acclaim as the essential work on one of the most malign figures in history, from his earliest origins to the final days of the Second World War.

To Hell and Back: Europe 1914-1949 (Penguin History of Europe (Viking)) Ian Kershaw Penguin Publishing Group, The Penguin History of Europe, 8, 2015
"Chilling... To Hell and Back should be required reading in every chancellery, every editorial cockpit and every place where peevish Euroskeptics do their thinking.... Kershaw documents each and every ‘ism’ of his analysis with extraordinary detail and passionate humanism."—The New York Times Book Review The Penguin History of Europe series reaches the twentieth century with acclaimed scholar Ian Kershaw’s long-anticipated analysis of the pivotal years of World War I and World War II. The European catastrophe, the long continuous period from 1914 to 1949, was unprecedented in human history—an extraordinarily dramatic, often traumatic, and endlessly fascinating period of upheaval and transformation. This new volume in the Penguin History of Europe series offers comprehensive coverage of this tumultuous era. Beginning with the outbreak of World War I through the rise of Hitler and the aftermath of the Second World War, award-winning British historian Ian Kershaw combines his characteristic original scholarship and gripping prose as he profiles the key decision makers and the violent shocks of war as they affected the entire European continent and radically altered the course of European history. Kershaw identifies four major causes for this catastrophe: an explosion of ethnic-racist nationalism, bitter and irreconcilable demands for territorial revisionism, acute class conflict given concrete focus through the Bolshevik Revolution, and a protracted crisis of capitalism. Incisive, brilliantly written, and filled with penetrating insights, To Hell and Back offers an indispensable study of a period in European history whose effects are still being felt today.

La fin, Allemagne (1944-1945) Ian Kershaw [Kershaw, Ian] Éditions du Seuil, 2012
The Last Months Of The Second World War Were A Nightmarish Time To Be Alive. Unimaginable Levels Of Violence Destroyed Entire Cities. Millions Died Or Were Dispossessed. By All Kinds Of Criteria It Was The End: The End Of The Third Reich And Its Terrible Empire But Also, Increasingly, It Seemed To Be The End Of European Civilization Itself. In His Gripping, Revelatory New Book Ian Kershaw Describes These Final Months, From The Failed Attempt To Assassinate Hitler In July 1944 To The German Surrender In May 1945. The Major Question That Kershaw Attempts To Answer Is: What Made Germany Keep On Fighting? In Almost Every Major War There Has Come A Point Where Defeat Has Loomed For One Side And Its Rulers Have Cut A Deal With The Victors, If Only In An Attempt To Save Their Own Skins. In Hitler's Germany, Nothing Of This Kind Happened: In The End The Regime Had To Be Stamped Out Town By Town With A Level Of Brutality Almost Without Precedent. As The Allies Closed In On Every Front Extraordinary Efforts Were Made By Hitler And His Key 'paladins' To Keep Fighting Way Beyond The Point Where Any Rational Plan For Victory Had Vanished. A System Based On Terror, Which Had For Years Ravaged The Countries Conquered By The Nazis, Was Now Visited On The Germans Themselves. Both A Highly Original Piece Of Research And A Gripping Narrative, The End Makes Vivid An Era Which Still Deeply Scars Europe. It Raises The Most Profound Questions About The Nature Of The Second World War, About The Third Reich And About How Ordinary People Behave In Extreme Circumstances. - Publisher. Going Down In Flames : Shock To The System -- Collapse In The West -- Foretaste Of Horror -- Hopes Raised -- And Dashed -- Calamity In The East -- Terror Comes Home -- Crumbling Foundations -- Implosion -- Liquidation -- Anatomy Of Self-destruction.

Hitler: A Biography: The phenomenal bestselling biography, now for the first time in one volume Kershaw, Ian Penguin Books, Limited, 2009
Now at last in a single, abridged volume – the definitive life. When the two volumes of Ian Kershaw’s biography of Hitler, Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris and Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis were published, they were immediately greeted around the world as the essential works on perhaps the most malign figure ever to hold power in modern Europe. In the face of considerable demand for such an edition, Kershaw has now created a single volume version. The result is a frightening, fascinating narrative of how a bitter provincial failure from an obscure corner of Austria rose to unparalleled power; how the half-baked, contemptible ideas of a vagrant former art student coalesced into an ideology that for twelve horrific years shaped the fate of millions; and how both in his determination to impose his will militarily and to fend off his many enemies he unleashed a genocidal Armageddon. No one individual can stand in as the scapegoat for the vast social, technological, economic and military forces that shape our societies – but if ever there was one man whose ideas and personality shaped and cowed those forces, as well as embodying them, it was Hitler. This is his story and Kershaw tells it with unique authority, and with moral anger.

Hitler Vol. 2: 1936–1945: Nemesis Ian (Professor of Modern Histor Kershaw Penguin Books, Limited (UK), Allen Lane History, 2001
Winner of the Wolfson Prize for History, Ian Kershaw's "Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis" is the concluding second volume of one of the greatest biographies of modern times. No figure in twentieth century history more clearly demands a close biographical understanding than Adolf Hitler; and no period is more important than the Second World War. Beginning with Hitler's startling European successes in the aftermath of the Rhineland occupation, from Czechoslovakia to Poland; addressing crucial questions about the unique nature of Nazi radicalism; exploring the Holocaust and the poisoned European world that allowed Hitler to operate so effectively; and ending nine years later with the suicide in the Berlin bunker, Kershaw allows us as never before to understand Hitler's motivation and impact. "Magisterial ...anyone who wishes to understand the third reich must read Kershaw, for no on has done more to lay bare Hitler's morbid psyche". (Niall Ferguson, "Sunday Telegraph"). "An achievement of the very highest order ...a marvellous book". (Michael Burleigh, "Financial Times"). "No previous biographer has examined Hitler's devilishness in Kershaw's detail ...his book is so comprehensive, so richly documented and so judicious that it will not soon be superseded". (Daniel Johnson, "Daily Telegraph"). Ian Kershaw's other books include "Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis", "Making Friends with Hitler", "Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions that Changed the World 1940-4" and "The End: Hitler's Germany, 1944-45". "Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis" received the Wolfson History Prize and the Bruno Kreisky Prize in Austria for Political Book of the Year, and was joint winner of the inaugural British Academy Book Prize.

The End : The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1944-1945 Ian Kershaw Penguin Press, The, Penguin Random House LLC, New York, 2011
From The Preeminent Hitler Biographer, A Fascinating And Original Exploration Of How The Third Reich Was Willing And Able To Fight To The Bitter End Of World War Ii. Countless Books Have Been Written About Why Nazi Germany Lost World War Ii, Yet Remarkably Little Attention Has Been Paid To The Equally Vital Question Of How And Why It Was Able To Hold Out As Long As It Did. The Third Reich Did Not Surrender Until Germany Had Been Left In Ruins And Almost Completely Occupied. Even In The Near-apocalyptic Final Months, When The War Was Plainly Lost, The Nazis Refused To Sue For Peace. Historically, This Is Extremely Rare. Drawing On Original Testimony From Ordinary Germans And Arch-nazis Alike, Award-winning Historian Ian Kershaw Explores This Fascinating Question In A Gripping And Focused Narrative That Begins With The Failed Bomb Plot In July 1944 And Ends With The German Capitulation In May 1945.^ Hitler, Desperate To Avoid A Repeat Of The Disgraceful German Surrender In 1918, Was Of Course Critical To The Third Reich's Fanatical Determination, But His Power Was Sustained Only Because Those Below Him Were Unable, Or Unwilling, To Challenge It. Even As The Military Situation Grew Increasingly Hopeless, Wehrmacht Generals Fought On, Their Orders Largely Obeyed, And The Regime Continued Its Ruthless Persecution Of Jews, Prisoners, And Foreign Workers. Beneath The Hail Of Allied Bombing, German Society Maintained Some Semblance Of Normalcy In The Very Last Months Of The War. The Berlin Philharmonic Even Performed On April 12, 1945, Less Than Three Weeks Before Hitler's Suicide. As Kershaw Shows, The Structure Of Hitler's Charismatic Rule Created A Powerful Negative Bond Between Him And The Nazi Leadership- They Had No Future Without Him, And So Their Fates Were Inextricably Tied.^ Terror Also Helped The Third Reich Maintain Its Grip On Power As The Regime Began To Wage War Not Only On Its Ideologically Defined Enemies But Also On The German People Themselves. Yet Even As Each Month Brought Fresh Horrors For Civilians, Popular Support For The Regime Remained Linked To A Patriotic Support Of Germany And A Terrible Fear Of The Enemy Closing In. Based On Prodigious New Research, Kershaw's The End Is A Harrowing Yet Enthralling Portrait Of The Third Reich In Its Last Desperate Gasps. -- Going Down In Flames -- Shock To The System -- Collapse In The West -- Foretaste Of Horror -- Hopes Raised-- And Dashed -- Calamity In The East -- Terror Comes Home -- Crumbling Foundations -- Implosion -- Liquidation -- Anatomy Of Self-destruction.

Ian Kershaw is Professor of Modern History at the University of Sheffield.He has written widely on Hitler and the Third Reich and is author of the now definitive comprehensive biography Hitler, 1889-1936: Hubris (1998) and a second volume due in 2000. In addition to his publications, he was consultant to the BAFTA-winning BBC-TV series The Nazis: A Warning from History, to the BBC2 programme War of the Century, to ZDF's Hitler: eine Bilanz and to ZDF's series in preparation on the Holocaust.

Roller-coaster : Europe, 1950-2017 Ian Kershaw Penguin Books, Limited, London, 2018
From one of Britain's most distinguished historians and the bestselling author of Hitler , this is the definitive history of a divided Europe, from the aftermath of the Second World War to the present. After the overwhelming horrors of the first half of the 20th century, described by Ian Kershaw in his previous book as having gone 'to Hell and back', the years from 1950 to 2017 brought peace and relative prosperity to most of Europe. Enormous economic improvements transformed the continent. The catastrophic era of the world wars receded into an ever more distant past, though its long shadow continued to shape mentalities. Europe was now a divided continent, living under the nuclear threat in a period intermittently fraught with anxiety. Europeans experienced a 'roller-coaster ride', both in the sense that they were flung through a series of events which threatened disaster, but also in that they were no longer in charge of their own destinies: for much of the period the USA and USSR effectively reduced Europeans to helpless figures whose fates were dictated to them by the Cold War. There were striking successes - the Soviet bloc melted away, dictatorships vanished and Germany was successfully reunited. But accelerating globalization brought new fragilities. The impact of interlocking crises after 2008 was the clearest warning to Europeans that there was no guarantee of peace and stability. In this remarkable book, Ian Kershaw has created a grand panorama of the world we live in and where it came from. Drawing on examples from all across the continent, Roller-Coaster will make us all rethink Europe and what it means to be European.

Making friends with Hitler : Lord Londonderry, the Nazis and the road to World War II Ian Kershaw Penguin Publishing Group, Penguin Random House LLC, [N.p.], 2005
Ian Kershaw’s biography of Adolf Hitler is widely regarded as the definitive work on the subject, as well as one of the most brilliant biographies of our time. In Making Friends with Hitler , the great scholar shines remarkable new light on decisions that led to war by tracing the extraordinary story of Lord Londonderry—one of Britain’s wealthiest aristocrats, cousin of Winston Churchill, confidant of the king, and the only British cabinet member to outwardly support the Nazi party. Through Londonderry’s tragic tale, Kershaw shows us that behind the accepted dogma of English appeasement and German bullying is a much more complicated and interesting reality—full of miscalculations on both sides that proved to be among the most fateful in history.

Hitler 1936-1945 : Nemesis Ian Kershaw Penguin UK, London, 2001
The New Yorker declared the first volume of Ian Kershaw's two-volume masterpiece "as close to definitive as anything we are likely to see," and that promise is fulfilled in this stunning second volume. As Nemesis opens, Adolf Hitler has achieved absolute power within Germany and triumphed in his first challenge to the European powers. Idolized by large segments of the population and firmly supported by the Nazi regime, Hitler is poised to subjugate Europe. Nine years later, his vaunted war machine destroyed, Allied forces sweeping across Germany, Hitler will end his life with a pistol shot to his head. "[M]ore probing, more judicious, more authoritative in its rich detail...more commanding in its mastery of the horrific narrative."

The End : The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1944-1945 Kershaw, Ian Penguin Group USA, Inc., The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1944-45, 2011
From The Preeminent Hitler Biographer, A Fascinating And Original Exploration Of How The Third Reich Was Willing And Able To Fight To The Bitter End Of World War Ii. Countless Books Have Been Written About Why Nazi Germany Lost World War Ii, Yet Remarkably Little Attention Has Been Paid To The Equally Vital Question Of How And Why It Was Able To Hold Out As Long As It Did. The Third Reich Did Not Surrender Until Germany Had Been Left In Ruins And Almost Completely Occupied. Even In The Near-apocalyptic Final Months, When The War Was Plainly Lost, The Nazis Refused To Sue For Peace. Historically, This Is Extremely Rare. Drawing On Original Testimony From Ordinary Germans And Arch-nazis Alike, Award-winning Historian Ian Kershaw Explores This Fascinating Question In A Gripping And Focused Narrative That Begins With The Failed Bomb Plot In July 1944 And Ends With The German Capitulation In May 1945.^ Hitler, Desperate To Avoid A Repeat Of The Disgraceful German Surrender In 1918, Was Of Course Critical To The Third Reich's Fanatical Determination, But His Power Was Sustained Only Because Those Below Him Were Unable, Or Unwilling, To Challenge It. Even As The Military Situation Grew Increasingly Hopeless, Wehrmacht Generals Fought On, Their Orders Largely Obeyed, And The Regime Continued Its Ruthless Persecution Of Jews, Prisoners, And Foreign Workers. Beneath The Hail Of Allied Bombing, German Society Maintained Some Semblance Of Normalcy In The Very Last Months Of The War. The Berlin Philharmonic Even Performed On April 12, 1945, Less Than Three Weeks Before Hitler's Suicide. As Kershaw Shows, The Structure Of Hitler's Charismatic Rule Created A Powerful Negative Bond Between Him And The Nazi Leadership- They Had No Future Without Him, And So Their Fates Were Inextricably Tied.^ Terror Also Helped The Third Reich Maintain Its Grip On Power As The Regime Began To Wage War Not Only On Its Ideologically Defined Enemies But Also On The German People Themselves. Yet Even As Each Month Brought Fresh Horrors For Civilians, Popular Support For The Regime Remained Linked To A Patriotic Support Of Germany And A Terrible Fear Of The Enemy Closing In. Based On Prodigious New Research, Kershaw's The End Is A Harrowing Yet Enthralling Portrait Of The Third Reich In Its Last Desperate Gasps. -- Going Down In Flames -- Shock To The System -- Collapse In The West -- Foretaste Of Horror -- Hopes Raised-- And Dashed -- Calamity In The East -- Terror Comes Home -- Crumbling Foundations -- Implosion -- Liquidation -- Anatomy Of Self-destruction.

'FATEFUL CHOICES: TEN DECISIONS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD, 1940-1941 (ALLEN LANE HISTORY)' Ian Kershaw Allen Lane, Uncorrected proof copy, London, 2007
In this gripping new book lan Kershaw re-creates ten critical decisions taken between May 1940 (when Britain decided to fight on rather than surrender) and the autumn of 1941 (when Hitler decided to destroy Europe’s Jews). In London, Tokyo, Rome, Moscow, Berlin and Washington, politicians and generals, often working with very poor information and vast logistical, financial, economic and military problems, had to decide how they were going to exploit or combat the unfolding crisis. These decisions really did determine the future of the world.Fateful Choices gives the reader an extraordinary sense both of the real constraints within which leaders worked but also of the role of personality: Churchill fighting on in the face of the catastrophe in France, Hitler ordering the invasion of the USSR despite Germany’s failure to defeat Britain, Stalin trusting Hitler and leaving his country wide open to Operation Barbarossa, Roosevelt realizing that the revolutionary idea of Lend-Lease could keep Britain fighting, the Japanese high command opting to attack the USA even in the face of evidence that it would fail.Fateful Choices is a remarkable book that looks into the terrible heart of the modern age, and attempts to understand how decisions that changed or ended millions of lives really came about.

The End : The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1944-1945 Ian Kershaw [Kershaw, Ian] Penguin Group USA, Inc., Penguin Random House LLC, New York, 2011
"From the preeminent Hitler biographer, a fascinating and original exploration of how the Third Reich was willing and able to fight to the bitter end of World War II. Countless books have been written about why Nazi Germany lost World War II, yet remarkably little attention has been paid to the equally vital question of how and why it was able to hold out as long as it did. The Third Reich did not surrender until Germany had been left in ruins and almost completely occupied. Even in the near-apocalyptic final months, when the war was plainly lost, the Nazis refused to sue for peace. Historically, this is extremely rare. Drawing on original testimony from ordinary Germans and arch-Nazis alike, award-winning historian Ian Kershaw explores this fascinating question in a gripping and focused narrative that begins with the failed bomb plot in July 1944 and ends with the German capitulation in May 1945. Hitler, desperate to avoid a repeat of the "disgraceful" German surrender in 1918, was of course critical to the Third Reich's fanatical determination, but his power was sustained only because those below him were unable, or unwilling, to challenge it. Even as the military situation grew increasingly hopeless, Wehrmacht generals fought on, their orders largely obeyed, and the regime continued its ruthless persecution of Jews, prisoners, and foreign workers. Beneath the hail of allied bombing, German society maintained some semblance of normalcy in the very last months of the war. The Berlin Philharmonic even performed on April 12, 1945, less than three weeks before Hitler's suicide. As Kershaw shows, the structure of Hitler's "charismatic rule" created a powerful negative bond between him and the Nazi leadership- they had no future without him, and so their fates were inextricably tied. Terror also helped the Third Reich maintain its grip on power as the regime began to wage war not only on its ideologically defined enemies but also on the German people themselves. Yet even as each month brought fresh horrors for civilians, popular support for the regime remained linked to a patriotic support of Germany and a terrible fear of the enemy closing in. Based on prodigious new research, Kershaw's The End is a harrowing yet enthralling portrait of the Third Reich in its last desperate gasps."-- Provided by publisher

Hitler: A Biography: The phenomenal bestselling biography, now for the first time in one volume Hitler, Adolf; Kershaw, Ian Penguin Books, Limited, 2010;2013
Now at last in a single, abridged volume – the definitive life. When the two volumes of Ian Kershaw’s biography of Hitler, Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris and Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis were published, they were immediately greeted around the world as the essential works on perhaps the most malign figure ever to hold power in modern Europe. In the face of considerable demand for such an edition, Kershaw has now created a single volume version. The result is a frightening, fascinating narrative of how a bitter provincial failure from an obscure corner of Austria rose to unparalleled power; how the half-baked, contemptible ideas of a vagrant former art student coalesced into an ideology that for twelve horrific years shaped the fate of millions; and how both in his determination to impose his will militarily and to fend off his many enemies he unleashed a genocidal Armageddon. No one individual can stand in as the scapegoat for the vast social, technological, economic and military forces that shape our societies – but if ever there was one man whose ideas and personality shaped and cowed those forces, as well as embodying them, it was Hitler. This is his story and Kershaw tells it with unique authority, and with moral anger.

PERSONALITY AND POWER : builders and destroyers of modern europe Kershaw, Ian Penguin Books, Limited, 1st Edition - 1st Print, FR, 2022
From one of the leading historians of twentieth-century Europe and the author of the definitive biography of Hitler, Personality and Power is a masterful reckoning with how character conspired with opportunity to create the modern ages uniquely devastating despotsand how and why other countries found better paths. The modern era saw the emergence of individuals who had command over a terrifying array of instruments of control, persuasion and death. Whole societies were reshaped and wars were fought, often with a merciless contempt for the most basic norms. At the summit of these societies were leaders whose personalities somehow enabled them to do whatever they wished, regardless of the consequences for others. Ian Kershaws new book is a compelling, lucid and challenging attempt to understand these rulers, whether those operating on the widest stage (Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini) or with a more national impact (Tito, Franco). What was it about these leaders, and the times in which they lived, that allowed them such untrammelled and murderous power? And what brought that era to an end? In a contrasting group of profilesfrom Churchill to de Gaulle, Adenauer to Gorbachev and Thatcher to Kohl)Kershaw uses his exceptional skills as an iconic historian to explore how strikingly different figures wielded power.

《全球时代:欧洲1950-2017》是伊恩·凯尔肖所著关于欧洲历史的书籍。1950年,欧洲正在从历史上最惨痛的战争中苏醒,欧洲不再处于战争状态;但是,一场似乎遥不可及的核战争威胁到整个欧洲作为文明的生存基础。于此期间、诞生于战后“婴儿潮”的孩子们,他们将目睹父母辈无法想象的变化。他们也将经历一种超越了早期和平时期所知的政治、经济、社会和文化加速变革。医疗进步、社会福利和支持系统、物质进步佐以战后经济繁荣与新世纪的乐观氛围,人们的态度和心态也发生了巨大变化。种族主义、死刑、堕胎再一次被放上“价值观”秤台重新称量。1950年后的欧洲,“转型”正在发生——这可谓“全球化”进程中的一部分,如同主线贯穿这个由伊恩•克尔肖讲述的1950年至2017年欧洲历史,然而这并非一个成功故事。全球化远非仅仅是朝着更好的物质供应的积极轨迹。它有明显的阴暗面。这本书探讨了从一个时代的不安全感到另一个时代的起伏不定,从核战争威胁到多层次和普遍的现代不安全感。它试图解释: 1950年至今欧洲复杂、多方面的变化模式。 时代性的转折点——1973年、1989年、2001年、2008年——标志着这一路的变革。 进步、发展和改善与挫折、失望和有时的幻灭并存。

Ces grandes figures qui ont fait l'histoire : Charisme et politique au XXe siècle Ian Kershaw Seuil Jeunesse, US, 2023
L’époque contemporaine a vu l'émergence de conflits planétaires. Des sociétés entières ont été bouleversées. À leur tête, des dirigeants capables de galvaniser les foules, qui détenaient un terrifiant éventail d’instruments de contrôle, de propagande et de mort. Le nouveau livre de Ian Kershaw propose une analyse lucide et stimulante des conditions d’émergence de cette toute-puissance, en passant au crible les personnalités et les moyens d’action de ces autocrates, qu'ils agissent sur la scène mondiale (Lénine, Staline, Hitler, Mussolini) ou que leur rôle se cantonne à une échelle plus nationale (Tito, Franco). Qu'est-ce qui, chez ces individus, et à l'époque où ils vivaient, leur a permis d'exercer un pouvoir aussi illimité et meurtrier ? Et qu'est-ce qui a mis fin à cette ère de terreur ? Rassemblant un groupe de figures contrastées, qui inclut aussi de grands dirigeants tels Churchill, de Gaulle, Adenauer, Gorbatchev, Thatcher et Kohl, Kershaw utilise sa connaissance unique du champ politique pour réfléchir à la manière dont des chefs politiques, en tout point différents, ont exercé le pouvoir et changé le monde. Un ouvrage vif et passionnant par l’un des meilleurs analystes de l’histoire politique de du XXe siècle. Ian Kershaw est l’auteur d’une monumentale biographie de Hitler (Flammarion, 2000 et 2001) et a publié au Seuil : Choix fatidiques. Dix décisions qui ont changé le monde (2009, « Points Histoire », 2012), La Fin, Allemagne 1944-1945 (2012, « Points Histoire », 2014), L’Europe en enfer, 1914-1949 (2016, « Points Histoire », 2018) et L’Âge global.

The Global Age: Europe 1950-2017: Europe 1950-2017 Ian Kershaw Viking, Penguin Random House LLC, [New York, New York], 2018
The final chapter in the Penguin History of Europe series from the acclaimed scholar and author of To Hell and BackAfter the overwhelming horrors of the first half of the twentieth century, described by Ian Kershaw in his previous book as being 'to Hell and back,' the years from 1950 to 2017 brought peace and relative prosperity to most of Europe. Enormous economic improvements transformed the continent. The catastrophic era of the world wars receded into an ever more distant past, though its long shadow continued to shape mentalities. Yet Europe was now a divided continent, living under the nuclear threat in a period intermittently fraught with anxiety. There were, by most definitions, striking successes: the Soviet bloc melted away, dictatorships vanished, and Germany was successfully reunited. But accelerating globalization brought new fragilities. The interlocking crises after 2008 were the clearest warnings to Europeans that there was no guarantee of peace and stability, and, even today, the continent threatens further fracturing. In this remarkable book, Ian Kershaw has created a grand panorama of the world we live in and where it came from. Drawing on examples from all across Europe, The Global Age is an endlessly fascinating portrait of the recent past and present, and a cautious look into our future.ReviewPraise for To Hell and Back:"Magisterial. . . . Kershaw handles the dark materials of his story with extraordinary grace, weaving his themes together with admirable analytical clarity. . . . Kershaw's account is illuminating precisely because it tightens the focus of the analysis, allowing us to see the continent as a diagram of contending forces, like the storm fronts and wind barbs on a weather map." -- Christopher Clark, The New York Review of Books"Remarkable and eminently readable. . . . Kershaw's book will deliver a jolt to American readers." -- The Boston Globe"Mr. Kershaw has written a fair-minded, deeply researched and highly readable book that will serve as the first point of departure for anyone wishing to understand Europe's most terrible decades." -- The Wall Street Journal"Magisterial." -- The Economist*About the AuthorIan Kershaw --author of To Hell and Back , The End , Fateful Choices , and Making Friends with Hitler --is a British historian of twentieth-century Germany, noted for his monumental biographies of Adolf Hitler. In 2002 he received his knighthood for Services to History. He is a Fellow of the British Academy, the Royal Historical Society, the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, and the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung in Bonn.

As An Exploration Of The Interpretational Issues That Eddy Around The Third Reich, Ian Kershaw's The Nazi Dictatorship Has Become A Classic Account. But If Its Core Remains Unchanged, Its Contents Must Necessarily Reflect Both New Public Controversies And The Onrush Of Fresh Research.

No Subject Among Those Dealt With In Earlier Editions Has Been The Subject Of Such Intensive Research - And Bringing Such Rapidly Changing Interpretations - As `hitler And The Jews' And, Accordingly, That Chapter Has Been Considerably Changed. The Book's Final Chapter Has Also Undergone Significant Revision, To Take Account Of The `goldhagen Phenomenon', And To Glance Back Over The Changing Trends Of Research On The Third Reich As, With The Passing Of The Generations, Hitler And His Regime Themselves Pass Into History. 1.

L'Europe en enfer (1914-1949) Ian Kershaw Éditions du Seuil, Univers historique, Paris XIVe, 2016
Publisher Synopsis: Few authors would have the ability, and perhaps the determination, to take on the history of both world wars and the connecting decades at this level of sophistication, depth and breadth -- Robert Tombs The Times It is true that his subject could hardly be more familiar, but it is a great achievement to cover such vast historical territory in under 600 pages and with such scrupulous balance, care and good sense. Other historians' books on the same period may be flashier or more provocative. But to read Kershaw on Europe's bloody century is to be driven through a ravaged landscape in the sleek, smooth comfort of a Rolls-Royce, guided by a historian who probably knows the territory better than anybody else on the planet -- Dominic Sandbrook The Sunday Times Ian Kershaw is the historian that other academic historians most admire ... Prof Kershaw sits at the very top of his profession. He is one of a tiny handful of historians whose books will still be read in 100 years. So he takes a big risk by moving out of his area of expertise in order to write an all-encompassing history of Europe in the 20th century. His courage has paid off. To Hell and Back, the first of two volumes on the subject, is a triumph -- Laurence Rees The Mail on Sunday A triumph -- Lawrence Rees Mail on Sunday Kershaw leads his readers through this complex history in a clear and compelling manner -- Joanna Bourke Prospect To Hell and Back should be required reading in every chancellery, every editorial cockpit and every place where peevish Euroskeptics do their thinking -- Harold Evans The New York Times Authoritative -- Nicholas Shakespeare Telegraph

Following the enormous success of HITLER: HUBRIS this book triumphantly completes one of the great modern biographies. No figure in twentieth century history more clearly demands a close biographical understanding than Adolf Hitler; and no period is more important than the Second World War. Beginning with Hitler's startling European successes in the aftermath of the Rhinelland occupation and ending nine years later with the suicide in the Berlin bunker, Kershaw allows us as never before to understand the motivation and the impact of this bizarre misfit. He addresses the crucial questions about the unique nature of Nazi radicalism, about the Holocaust and about the poisoned European world that allowed Hitler to operate so effectively.

The end : Hitler's Germany, 1944-45 Kershaw, Ian Penguin Books, 1st Edition, 2022
The Last Months Of The Second World War Were A Nightmarish Time To Be Alive. Unimaginable Levels Of Violence Destroyed Entire Cities. Millions Died Or Were Dispossessed. By All Kinds Of Criteria It Was The End: The End Of The Third Reich And Its Terrible Empire But Also, Increasingly, It Seemed To Be The End Of European Civilization Itself. In His Gripping, Revelatory New Book Ian Kershaw Describes These Final Months, From The Failed Attempt To Assassinate Hitler In July 1944 To The German Surrender In May 1945. The Major Question That Kershaw Attempts To Answer Is: What Made Germany Keep On Fighting?

In Hitler's Germany, Nothing Of This Kind Happened: In The End The Regime Had To Be Stamped Out Town By Town With A Level Of Brutality Almost Without Precedent. As The Allies Closed In On Every Front Extraordinary Efforts Were Made By Hitler And His Key 'paladins' To Keep Fighting Way Beyond The Point Where Any Rational Plan For Victory Had Vanished. A System Based On Terror, Which Had For Years Ravaged The Countries Conquered By The Nazis, Was Now Visited On The Germans Themselves.

Fateful Choices : Ten Decisions That Changed the World, 1940-1941 Ian Kershaw Penguin Group (USA), Penguin Random House LLC, New York, 2007
In a mere nineteen months, from May 1940 to December 1941, the leaders of the world's six major powers made a series of related decisions that decided the course and outcome of World War II, cost the lives of millions, and profoundly shaped the course of human destiny from that point forward. How were these decisions made? What were the options facing these leaders as they saw them? What intelligence, right and wrong, did they have? What was the impact of personality, what that of larger forces? In a brilliant work with haunting contemporary relevance, Ian Kershaw tells the connected stories of these ten fateful decisions from the shifting perspectives of the protagonists, and in so doing rescues them from the sense of inevitability that now envelops them and restores to them a feeling of vivid drama and contingency-the feeling that things could have turned out very differently indeed. Each chapter follows the process of arriving at one decision, from the viewpoint of the leader who made it: Decision 1: May 1940. The British War Cabinet, driven by Churchill, agrees to fight on after the German blitzkrieg defeat of France, despite loud calls for negotiated settlement. Decision 2: Hitler decides to attack the Soviet Union. Decision 3: Japan decides to seize the "Golden Opportunity" and turn south, going after the colonial empires of the countries that have fallen to Hitler. Decision 4: Mussolini decides to join the war on Hitler's side to grab a share of the spoils. Decision 5: Roosevelt decides to lend a helping hand to England. Decision 6: Stalin decides he knows best and ignores all the clear signals that Germany is goingto invade. Decision 7: Roosevelt decides to wage undeclared war. Decision 8: Japan decides to go to war against the United States. Decision 9: Hitler decides to declare war on the USA. Decision 10: Hitler decides to kill the Jews. Decision relates to subsequent decision, though never simply or necessarily as expected. The clash of personalities, the various weaknesses of the different political systems, the challenge of intelligence, the misdiagnosis of risk and possibility: all play their part. And after nineteen months, though much remained to be decided, the world's fate had been profoundly altered by these ten choices.

The End: The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1944-1945 Ian Kershaw Penguin Books, Aug 01, 2011
From the preeminent Hitler biographer, a fascinating and original exploration of how the Third Reich was willing and able to fight to the bitter end of World War II.Countless books have been written about why Nazi Germany lost World War II, yet remarkably little attention has been paid to the equally vital question of how and why it was able to hold out as long as it did. The Third Reich did not surrender until Germany had been left in ruins and almost completely occupied. Even in the near-apocalyptic final months, when the war was plainly lost, the Nazis refused to sue for peace. Historically, this is extremely rare.Drawing on original testimony from ordinary Germans and arch-Nazis alike, award-winning historian Ian Kershaw explores this fascinating question in a gripping and focused narrative that begins with the failed bomb plot in July 1944 and ends with the German capitulation in May 1945. Hitler, desperate to avoid a repeat of the "disgraceful" German surrender in 1918, was of course critical to the Third Reich's fanatical determination, but his power was sustained only because those below him were unable, or unwilling, to challenge it. Even as the military situation grew increasingly hopeless, Wehrmacht generals fought on, their orders largely obeyed, and the regime continued its ruthless persecution of Jews, prisoners, and foreign workers. Beneath the hail of allied bombing, German society maintained some semblance of normalcy in the very last months of the war. The Berlin Philharmonic even performed on April 12, 1945, less than three weeks before Hitler's suicide.As Kershaw shows, the structure of Hitler's "charismatic rule" created a powerful negative bond between him and the Nazi leadership- they had no future without him, and so their fates were inextricably tied. Terror also helped the Third Reich maintain its grip on power as the regime began to wage war not only on its ideologically defined enemies but also on the German people themselves. Yet even as
