The Arabs and the Holocaust
The Arab-Israeli War of Narratives
Gilbert Achcar
Picador
“This is a refreshing and original study, showing clearly that Muslim anti-Semitism is neither universal, nor inevitable, nor subject to pat explanations.”—
The Economist
“A systematic and scholarly refutation of the simplistic myths that have arisen following the formation of Israel . . . the best book on the subject so far.”—

A Shameful Act
The Armenian Genocide and the Question of Turkish Responsibility
Taner Akcam
Picador
"Turkish historian Akçam capably refutes those who deny the Armenian genocide, who will probably not change their minds. No one knows how many Armenians died at Turkish hands in the 1910s, but the number almost certainly exceeds one million. Akçam, writing from the safe distance of the University of Minnesota, has worked through thousands and thousands of documents to find concrete evidence thereof, against considerable difficulty . . . Of profound importance to history—and certain to stir up nests of hornets."—

The Hitler Salute
On the Meaning of a Gesture
Tilman Allert
Picador
“Allert’s
The Hitler Salute
, a joyously sharp account of a massively evil slice of human history, doesn’t treat the Nazis’ obligatory two-word, one-arm greeting as a product of evil, but as its enabler. He argues, movingly, that the salute wounded Germans’ sociability, connectedness, and personal sovereignty, warping the holy human order.”—

The Stone Fields
Love and Death in the Balkans
Courtney Angela Brkic
Picador
"Harrowing . . .
The Stone Fields
is more than a memoir of the latest Balkan bloodletting. It is also an intimate history of the Balkans since the end of World War I. In sections entitled 'Herzegovina 1918-1931,' 'Sarajevo 1933-1945,' and 'Liberation 1945-1959,' Brkic re-creates the battered lives of her father's parents and sisters under the succession of regimes and circumstances that followed the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire with an almost folkloric intensity . . . Brkic establishes character and complexity, including her own, with the authority of an experienced novelist."—

A New History

The Girl in the Green Sweater
A Life in Holocaust's Shadow
Krystyna Chiger with Daniel Paisner
St. Martin's Griffin
"Despite the substantial number of Holocaust memoirs that have been published,
The Girl in the Green Sweater
manages to touch us in an unexpected way, revealing highs and lows in man’s capacity for evil, as well as his capacity to love life and other human beings. Through the eyes of the child that Krystyna Chiger was in Lvov, Poland, in 1939 we see the whole moral universe."

Sarah's Key
Tatiana de Rosnay
St. Martin's Griffin
"De Rosnay's U.S. debut fictionalizes the 1942 Paris roundups and deportations, in which thousands of Jewish families were arrested, held at the Vélodrome d'Hiver outside the city, then transported to Auschwitz. Forty-five-year-old Julia Jarmond, American by birth, moved to Paris when she was 20 and is married to the arrogant, unfaithful Bertrand Tézac, with whom she has an 11-year-old daughter. Julia writes for an American magazine and her editor assigns her to cover the 60th anniversary of the Vél' d'Hiv' roundups. Julia soon learns that the apartment she and Bertrand plan to move into was acquired by Bertrand's family when its Jewish occupants were dispossessed and deported 60 years before. She resolves to find out what happened to the former occupants: Wladyslaw and Rywka Starzynski, parents of 10-year-old Sarah and four-year-old Michel. The more Julia discovers—especially about Sarah, the only member of the Starzynski family to survive—the more she uncovers about Bertrand's family, about France and, finally, herself. Already translated into 15 languages, the novel is De Rosnay's 10th (but her first written in English, her first language). It beautifully conveys Julia's conflicting loyalties, and makes Sarah's trials so riveting, her innocence so absorbing, that the book is hard to put down."—

Churchill and the Jews
A Lifelong Friendship
Martin Gilbert
Holt Paperbacks
“As Martin Gilbert suggests in his consistently absorbing
Churchill and the Jews: A Lifelong Friendship
, there have been few figures in high office in any country who not only admires the Jews for their unique qualities—‘the spirit of their faith and race’ as well as their ‘peculiar genius’—but who also were able to accept them as a people apart, deserving not only tolerance but genuine respect for their differences . . .
Churchill and the Jews
brings together two of Martin Gilbert’s persistent passions: Among his vast output, he has written an eight-volume biography of Churchill and at least as many books on various aspects of Judaism, ranging from histories of Israel to histories of the Holocaust. This book reflects his gifts—he is a demon researcher, drawing on a trove of private correspondence, archival material, and previously unpublished government documents . . . [Gilbert’s] assessment is an accurate one.”—

The Antelope's Strategy
Living in Rwanda After the Genocide
Jean Hatzfeld; Translated from the French by Linda Coverdale
Picador
"'Why keep on?' asks Claudine Kayitesi, a Tutsi survivor living in relative peace in Nyamata, Rwanda. Her question is not a philosophical one, though that would be understandable given what she has experienced—rape, displacement, the murder of a sister and many others. Rather, her query is directed at the persistent questions of the French journalist Jean Hatzfeld, who has returned to the war-torn landscape he wrote about in two previous books,
The Machete Season
and
Life Laid Bare
, to speak again to survivors and perpetrators of the 1994 genocide. Why Hatzfeld keeps on asking questions is among the many thought-provoking issues at the heart of his new book,
The Antelope's Strategy
. Seven years after his reporting for
Machete Season
, Hatzfeld finds a much-changed Rwanda: The terrors of war have been replaced by an awkward—and sometimes dangerous—atmosphere of forced reconciliation. Some Hutu prisoners have been released or have returned from exile to live among the families of those they killed. 'Not one prisoner came asking for forgiveness,' says Kayitesi. A Hutu ex-convict notes, 'I was charged, I was convicted, I was pardoned. I did not ask to be forgiven.' Hatzfeld captures this tension gracefully, weaving lengthy interview excerpts with his own artfully written observations. The result is a book that illustrates vividly the thorny realities that accompany survival and appeasement. 'People are living peacefully, but actually they are avoiding one another,' Kayitesi comments in the book's final pages. 'We'll be humble and nice, we'll share, we'll cooperate as we should. But believing them is unthinkable.'"—
