Reviews
"Clear-eyed . . . Arresting . . . An unorthodox and provocative account . . . Snyder is admirably relentless." -- The New Yorker " Black Earth is mesmerizing . . . Remarkable . . . Gripping . . . Disturbingly vivid . . . Mr. Snyder is sometimes mordant, often shocked, always probing." -- The Wall Street Journal "Revelatory . . . Evocative . . . Most relevant today." -- The Atlantic "An unflinching look at the Holocaust . . . Mr. Snyder is a rising public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past and present." -- The New York Times "Snyder's historical account has a vital contemporary lesson. . . . It's a testament to his intellectual and moral resources that he can so deeply contemplate this horrific past in ways that strengthen his commitment to building a future based on law, rights, and citizenship." -- The Washington Post " Black Earth elucidates human catastrophe in regions with which a Western audience needs to become familiar." -- The New York Times Book Review "An impressive reassessment of the Holocaust, which steers an assured course [and] challenges readers to reassess what they think they know and believe . . . Black Earth will prove uncomfortable reading for many who hew to cherished but mythical elements of Holocaust history." -- The Economist "Excellent in every respect . . . Although I read widely about the Holocaust, I learned something new in every chapter. The multilingual Snyder has mined contemporaneous Eastern European sources that are often overlooked." --Stephen Carter, Bloomberg "In Black Earth , a book of the greatest importance, Snyder now forces us to look afresh at these monumental crimes. Written with searing intellectual honesty, his new study goes much deeper than Bloodlands in its analysis, showing how the two regimes fed off each other." --Antony Beevor, The Sunday Times

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "[Timothy] Snyder identifies the conditions that allowed the Holocaust--conditions our society today shares. . . . He certainly couldn't be more right about our world."-- The New Republic A "gripping [and] disturbingly vivid" ( The Wall Street Journal ) portrait of the defining tragedy of our time, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of On Tyranny ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR-- The Washington Post, The Economist, Publishers Weekly In this epic history of extermination and survival, Timothy Snyder presents a new explanation of the great atrocity of the twentieth century, and reveals the risks that we face in the twenty-first. Based on untapped sources from eastern Europe and forgotten testimonies from Jewish survivors, Black Earth recounts the mass murder of the Jews as an event that is still close to us, more comprehensible than we would like to think and thus all the more terrifying. By overlooking the lessons of the Holocaust, Snyder concludes, we have misunderstood modernity and endangered the future. The early twenty-first century is coming to resemble the early twentieth, as growing preoccupations with food and water accompany ideological challenges to global order. Our world is closer to Hitler's than we like to admit, and saving it requires us to see the Holocaust as it was--and ourselves as we are. Groundbreaking, authoritative, and utterly absorbing, Black Earth reveals a Holocaust that is not only history but warning. New York Times Editors' Choice * Finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize; the Mark Lynton History Prize; the Arthur Ross Book Award, A brilliant, haunting, and profoundly original portrait of the defining tragedy of our time. In this epic history of extermination and survival, Timothy Snyder presents a new explanation of the great atrocity of the twentieth century, and reveals the risks that we face in the twenty-first. Based on new sources from eastern Europe and forgotten testimonies from Jewish survivors, Black Earth recounts the mass murder of the Jews as an event that is still close to us, more comprehensible than we would like to think, and thus all the more terrifying. The Holocaust began in a dark but accessible place, in Hitler's mind, with the thought that the elimination of Jews would restore balance to the planet and allow Germans to win the resources they desperately needed. Such a worldview could be realized only if Germany destroyed other states, so Hitler's aim was a colonial war in Europe itself. In the zones of statelessness, almost all Jews died. A few people, the righteous few, aided them, without support from institutions. Much of the new research in this book is devoted to understanding these extraordinary individuals. The almost insurmountable difficulties they faced only confirm the dangers of state destruction and ecological panic. These men and women should be emulated, but in similar circumstances few of us would do so. By overlooking the lessons of the Holocaust, Snyder concludes, we have misunderstood modernity and endangered the future. The early twenty-first century is coming to resemble the early twentieth, as growing preoccupations with food and water accompany ideological challenges to global order. Our world is closer to Hitler's than we like to admit, and saving it requires us to see the Holocaust as it was -- and ourselves as we are.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI'm so happy I was able to secure a copy of this out-of-print book from goodreads2015! My order was packaged very, very securely and received on a timely basis. The book I ordered was exactly as described and in excellent condition and offered at a great price point. I'll be ordering from goodreads2015 again as it was a pleasure doing business with them.
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis item was in pristine condition. Exactly as i remember it first time off the shelf at my local bookstore. Seller was prompt, and it came adequately protected. The only issue i had was the actual delivery. 3 seperate arrival dates in under a week made it hard to judge when it would be delivered. But considering it went USPS, and with the government shutdown wreaking havoc as it is, it was hardly the sellers fault. Absolutely would buy from them again.
