L'enfant soldat. XIX-XXIe siècle. Une approche critique
Objet de toutes les attentions des instances internationales et humanitaires, l’enfant-soldat est une figure incontournable dans la réflexion sur le phénomène guerrier actuel. À ce premier archétype est fréquemment associé un continent, l’Afrique. Le recours à des enfants raptés, exploités, abusés, drogués parfois, apparaît comme un sommet d'horreur et heurte les consciences. Bousculant les stéréotypes, ce livre remonte aux origines de la guerre moderne, en passant par les guerres mondiales, d’un continent à l’autre, pour livrer une analyse fouillée de la figure de l’enfant-soldat et de ses représentations. Le recours aux autres sciences humaines et sociales (sociologie, science politique, anthropologie) lui permet de s’émanciper d’une vision purement historique, afin de saisir la dimension contemporaine de ce phénomène dans toute sa complexité.

History Workshop Journal
Nicholas Stargardt addresses the question of the remarkable resilience of the German state and society during the Second World War. Like Italy, German cities were subjected to massive Allied air raids from 1942 onwards, but there was no German equivalent to the strike-wave that swept northern and central Italy in the spring of 1943, and it is this comparison which is the starting point for Nicholas Stargardt’s analysis of how German society coped with the crises of this period. He argues that it was that society’s capacity to recover from crises which made it possible for the regime to go on fighting the war till the end. He proposes that the dynamic quality of these crises takes us beyond the conventional explanations of state-society in terms of coercion and consent, and into an exploration of the transformation of subjectivities and social values, in particular the moral and psychological power of fear and hope.

Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies
This article explores how historians, at least since the late 1980s, have subjected the experience of children to more searching analysis, without making their fate any less shocking. Nazism had a special interest in children, both in shaping the next generation of German children and in eliminating the offspring of Jews, Sinti, Roma, and other so-called degenerates. At every stage of persecution, children were targeted in specific ways, from ‘Jew benches’ in schools, through the medical killing of children in psychiatric asylums, to selection in the death camps. Children, however, were anything but passive victims. New research has revealed much about their experience of ghettoization, in particular their adeptness at smuggling, hiding, and adopting new identities, languages, and religious beliefs.

Years of Persecution, Years of Extermination: Saul Friedlander and the Future of Holocaust Studies
This volume brings together leading international historians to address the manifold issues raised in his landmark history of the Holocaust, Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1933-1945.
The concept of generation is ubiquitous in common parlance and public discourse: it is used to explain family relationships, consumer preferences, political change, and much else besides. But how can generation be used by historians? Do generations really exist, or are they constructed and manipulated by social and cultural elites? In pursuit of answers to these questions, this book ranges from World War I to the baby boomers and from Spain to the Soviet Union.

Witnesses Of War Children's Lives Under the Nazis
January 2005
|
Book
A groundbreaking study of what happened to children—of all nationalities and religions—living under the Nazi regime. Drawing on a wide range of new sources, Witnesses of War reveals the stories of life under the Third Reich as never before. As the Nazis overran Europe, children were saved or damned according to their race. Turning to an untouched wealth of original material—school assignments; juvenile diaries; letters; and even accounts of children’s games—Nicholas Stargardt breaks stereotypes of victimhood and trauma to give us the gripping individual stories of the generation Hitler made.

Twentieth Century Germany: Politics, Culture and Society, 1918-1990
The period from defeat in the First World War to defeat in the Second
World War saw Germany experience two political extremes: its first
attempt at democracy, with the abdication of the Kaiser and the
proclamation of a republic on 9 November 1918, and one of the most
reprehensible dictatorships of the modern age, following the appointment
of Hitler as Chancellor on 30 January 1933. With the unleashing of a
second world war, and the purposeful mass murder of around six million
human beings in unprecedented industrial genocide, the collapse from
democracy into dictatorship has understandably aroused the most virulent
historical controversies. The years since 1945 have to an extent been
lived in the shadow of the earlier period, but also of course in their
own right with their own peculiarities, none more pronounced than the
creation of two Germanies, the Frg and Gdr, one democracy, one
dictatorship, ideological foes in the Cold War. The controversies
attaching to the later period are (as yet?) less heated but the
questions are no less insistent.

Notions of Nationalism
In this highly topical volume, a group of distinguished scholars explore various aspects of nationalism theory and shed light on the current thinking in this area of great contemporary importance. Such topics as primordialism, institutional plurality in multi-ethnic states, historical problems of nationalism, and the importance of local-level understanding in dealing with such problems, are examined with clarity and vision. Together the essays provide a valuable insight into an intricate debate which is of crucial relevance to the understanding of contemporary politics not only in Central Europe but in the world at large.

The German Idea of Militarism: Radical and Socialist Critics, 1866-1914
March 1994
|
Book
This 1994 book examines the development of the modern idea of militarism from its inception in the 1860s until the outbreak of World War I. Often regarded as the archetypical militarist state, imperial Germany in fact witnessed a major controversy over the issue, which became a touchstone of political opposition. Issues like the arms race and the military-industrial complex displaced more traditional concerns about authoritarian rule, and militarism gradually acquired its modern meaning. The book is part of a wider discovery by historians of the way political identities and ideas intermeshed, contributing to the rise of civil society and new types of politics in modern Europe. The political history of the main protagonist of anti-militarism, German social democracy, is examined, as Nicholas Stargardt reveals the lasting influence of older radical traditions and reappraises the role played by its espousal of Marxism.
