Abstract

The fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II has brought a wave of books and television specials. War buffs are skirmishing over battles won and lost in the European and Pacific theaters with even greater intensity than usual. We are, of course, also awash with nostalgia. Beyond military history and sentimental patriotism, however, we must seek other grounds for understanding this catastrophe that destroyed millions of lives around the globe. In the main our efforts have centered on the political and social while the heart of the matter remains virtually untouched: the war was an intensely murderous contest over culture.
