Robert Gellately Livres
1 janvier 1943
Robert Gellately est un historien de premier plan de l'Europe moderne, particulièrement axé sur les époques de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de la guerre froide. Son intérêt marqué pour l'Holocauste l'a également conduit à rechercher d'autres génocides, pour lesquels il maintient des directives définitionnelles strictes. Le travail de Gellately explore en profondeur les dynamiques de pouvoir, de consentement et de coercition au sein des régimes totalitaires. Par des analyses souvent fondées sur des documents originaux et des témoignages, son érudition remet en question les récits historiques simplistes, en soulignant des processus sociaux et politiques complexes.
This book examines the everyday operations of the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police. How were the Gestapo able to detect the smallest signs of noncompliance with Nazi doctrines, especially 'crimes' pertaining to the private spheres of social, family, and sexual life? How could the police enforce policies such as those designed to isolate the Jews or foreign workers with such apparent ease?

Robert Gellately challenges the belief that the German people knew little about the Nazi terror, and the tendency of historians to distance ordinary Germans from its excesses. He reveals for the first time the social consensus behind the regime and the extent to which German men and women were involved in the persecution of social outsiders and 'race enemies'.
