SAVAGE CONTINENT REVIEWS

Pre-publication reviews:
'A graphic and chilling account of the murderous vengeance, terroristic reprisals and ferocious ethnic cleansing that gripped Europe following – and often as a direct continuation of – the Second World War. Keith Lowe’s excellent book paints a little-known and frightening picture of a continent in the embrace of lawlessness, chaos and unconstrained violence'

Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler and The End

 

 

'Savage Continent is a powerful and disturbing book, painstakingly researched and written with both authority and an impressive historical sweep.  It is also a timely book that deserves to be read by anyone who wishes to understand the complex nature of Europe and the deep trauma suffered not only during the Second World War but in its chaotic aftermath'

James Holland, author of Fortress Malta and The Battle of Britain
