A continuation of Toynbee’s German Terror in Belgium, this volume finishes his study of all the spaces Germany invaded in the West. The author draws on recent reports from French and German sources—however this second part contains much less summary and more analysis than that on Belgium.
关于作者
Arnold J. Toynbee (1889-1975) was an English historian. His monumental twelve-volume series, A Study of History (1934-61), was an attempt to identify and trace patterns of the rise and fall of civilization across more than twenty world cultures, over thousands of years. Drawing on the insights of Freud and Darwin, Toynbee attempted to fashion history into a more scientific discipline, rejecting humanism, Enlightenment ideals, and modern nationalism.
