Beschreibung:
Year Zero is a landmark reckoning with the great drama that ensued after war ended in 1945. Regime change had come on a global scale, creating the greatest power vacuum in history. Out of the vicious power struggles emerged the modern world. The scale of transformation is almost impossible to imagine. Great cities lay in ruins, their populations decimated. At the same time, the euphoria of the liberated was extraordinary. A poignant grace note throughout his history is Buruma's own father's story. His journey home and attempted reentry into "normalcy" stand in many ways for his generation's experience.
