Come potevano gli assassini nazisti sparare a donne e bambini ebrei a distanza ravvicinata? Perché i soldati giapponesi stupravano e uccidevano su una scala così orrenda? Com'era possibile sopportare il tormento di un campo di sterminio nazista? Il pluripremiato documentarista e storico Laurence Rees ha trascorso decenni alle prese con tali domande nel corso delle riprese di centinaia di interviste con persone sottoposte a prove estreme durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Si è trovato faccia a faccia con stupratori, assassini di massa, persino cannibali, ma ha anche incontrato individui coraggiosi che sono fonte di ispirazione per tutti noi. In Their Darkest Hour presenta 35 dei suoi incontri più elettrizzanti. ''Una raccolta straordinariamente potente'' Antony Beevor, Daily Telegraph ''Un libro incredibile, ben scritto, da leggere assolutamente'' Glasgow Evening Times ''Un contributo duraturo alla nostra comprensione della seconda guerra mondiale e una potente intuizione sul comportamento degli esseri umani in crisi'' Independent.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. How could Nazi killers shoot Jewish women and children at close range? Why did Japanese soldiers rape and murder on such a horrendous scale? How was it possible to endure the torment of a Nazi death camp? Award-winning documentary maker and historian Laurence Rees has spent decades wrestling with such questions in the course of filming hundreds of interviews with people tested to the extreme during World War II. He has come face-to-face with rapists, mass murderers, even cannibals, but he has also met courageous individuals who are an inspiration to us all. In Their Darkest Hour he presents 35 of his most electrifying encounters. 'A remarkably powerful collection' Antony Beevor, Daily Telegraph 'An incredible, well-written, must-read book' Glasgow Evening Times 'A lasting contribution to our understanding of the Second World War and a powerful insight into the behaviour of human beings in crisis' Independent.
