Product Information
Mirrors of Destruction examines the relationship between total war, state-organized genocide, and the emergence of modern identity. Here, Omer Bartov demonstrates that in the twentieth century there have been intimate links between military conflict, mass murder of civilian populations, and the definition and categorization of groups and individuals. These connections were most clearly manifested in the Holocaust, as the Nazis attempted to exterminate European Jewry under cover of a brutal war and with the stated goal of creating a racially pure Aryan population and Germanic empire. The Holocaust, however, can only be understood within the context of the century's predilection for applying massive and systematic methods of destruction to resolve conflicts over identity. To provide the context for the "Final Solution," Bartov examines the changing relationships between Jews and non-Jews in France and Germany from the outbreak of World War I to the present. Rather than presenting a comprehensive history, or a narrative from a single perspective, Bartov views the past century through four interrelated prisms. He begins with an analysis of the glorification of war and violence, from its modern birth in the trenches of World War I to its horrifying culmination in the presentation of genocide by the SS as a glorious undertaking. He then examines the pacifist reaction in interwar France to show how it contributed to a climate of collaboration with dictatorship and mass murder. The book goes on to argue that much of the discourse on identity throughout the century has had to do with identifying and eliminating society's "elusive enemies" or "enemies from within." Bartov concludes with an investigation of modern apocalyptic visions, showing how they have both encouraged mass destructions and opened a way for the reconstruction of individual and collective identifies after a catastrophe. Written with verve, Mirrors of Destruction is rich in interpretations and theoretical tools and provides a new framework for understanding a central trait of modern history.

Reviews
Mirrors of Destruction is an assertive, provocative, and important book. Bartov's model deserves as wide a discussion as possible, because it raises so many crucial questions and because it has already proven frighteningly accurate, "With clarity, intelligence, and passion, Omer Bartov demonstrates how theexperience and memory of violence on a massive scale have shaped the twentiethcentury. In a sweeping analysis that takes him from literature and film toautobiography and high politics, he locates the significance of the Holocaust inthe larger context of genocide and war in the modern period, reminding us thatMirrors of Destruction from the past are ones in which we can still recognizeourselves. A major contribution to our understanding of the multiple meanings ofthe Holocaust, this book is a powerful reminder of how relevant the study ofthat event remains to an understanding of individual and national identity inthe present." --Robert Moeller, University of California, Irvine, Bartov never loses sight of his central concern: to explain the Holocaust to the citizens of the twenty-first century ... the book's multiple levels of engagement force the reader to continue the groundbreaking work begun by its author. Consequently, the study opens the intellectual space that the discipline so desperately needs; this achievement will turn the book into a landmark even for those readers who might disagree with some of Bartov's conclusions, "This thoughtful, erudite, and above all disturbing volume is both a useful compilation of some of Bartov's works and a series of pointers for the future scholarly contextualization of war and genocide" - - Holocaust and and Genocide Studies, ...this work is stimulatingly thoughtful and passionate, and its documentary accretion of evidence serves to make it a solid general reference....--Choice, "Based on wide reading and reflection, Omer Bartov's new book is a vitally important comparative contribution to understanding apocalypticism, utopianism, and attempts to refashion humanity by violence. An exceptionally disturbing and powerful book whose imaginative insights remind us thatHistory is not a simple-minded choice between 'facts' and 'fictions,' but an attempt to understand what it is to be human."--Michael Burleigh, Raoul Wallenberg Chair of Human Rights, Rutgers University, "Bartov's are powerfully emotive and beautifully written essays about the ways in which modern society and human consciousness have been transformed by the Holocaust. Concentrating on the French, German, and Israeli experiences, the book carefully peels back the layers of historical memory inthe twentieth century and explores the Holocaust's meaning for all of us." --Norman Naimark, Stanford University, "Omer Bartov's works have established him as a meticulous archival scholar with a broad theoretical grasp. In Mirrors of Destruction Bartov continues to develop these qualities, bringing together his knowledge of the troops on the German-Soviet front and his skill as a literary and filmcritic."Holocaust and Genocide Studies, "Bartov's work has always been characterized by its thoughtfulness and independence, and here he combines archival research with an interdisciplinary critique of the literature drawn from widely diverse fields. He focuses on the links of social, cultural, and military history and offersparticularly interesting insights into Europe's two major wars in this century and their relationship to the Holocaust. This is history painted in large strokes, and anyone trying to understand how and why the promise of the twentieth century went horribly wrong should read this book." --RobertGellately, Strassler Professor in Holocaust History, Clark University, "Based on wide reading and reflection, Omer Bartov's new book is a vitallyimportant comparative contribution to understanding apocalypticism, utopianism,and attempts to refashion humanity by violence. An exceptionally disturbing andpowerful book whose imaginative insights remind us that History is not asimple-minded choice between 'facts' and 'fictions,' but an attempt tounderstand what it is to be human." --Michael Burleigh, Raoul Wallenberg Chairof Human Rights, Rutgers University, "Bartov's are powerfully emotive and beautifully written essays about theways in which modern society and human consciousness have been transformed bythe Holocaust.
