{"product_id":"to-hell-and-back-europe-1914-1949","title":"To Hell and Back: Europe, 1914-1949","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1914 most of Europe plunged into a war so catastrophic that it unhinged the continent's politics and beliefs in a way that took generations to recover from. The disaster terrified its survivors, shocked that a civilization that had blandly assumed itself to be a model for the rest of the world had collapsed into a chaotic savagery beyond any comparison. In 1939 Europeans would initiate a second conflict that managed to be even worse - a war in which the killing of civilians was central and which culminated in the Holocaust. To Hell and Back tells this story with humanity, flair and originality. Kershaw gives a compelling narrative of events, but he also wrestles with the most difficult issues that the events raise - with what it meant for the Europeans who initiated and lived through such fearful times - and what this means for us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44746924064813,"sku":"9780141980430","price":17.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0001\/8989\/files\/9780141980430.jpg?v=1774488971","url":"https:\/\/shop.redflag.org.au\/products\/to-hell-and-back-europe-1914-1949","provider":"Red Flag Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
