Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to post-WWI Germany, exploring a nation trying to reconcile their recent past of rampant militarism and the current occupation by an Allied force. The author was among the first group of administrators, selected to help run occupied Germany, to venture into Cologne. The unique perspective the author gained from her experiences during this historic moment gives readers an intimate look at the country's conflicted emotions, as well as the daily realities that arose out of the uneasy coexistence between conquerors and the conquered. A testament to the chaos and confusion that defined this moment of transition, this book is also a compelling meditation on the themes of defeat, occupation, and the human condition in the face of radical change.
