"'The Chinese Communist party refers to its victory in 1949 as a "liberation." In China the story of liberation and the revolution that followed is not one of peace, liberty, and justice. It is first and foremost a story of calculated terror and systematic violence.' So begins Frank Dikötter's stunning and revelatory chronicle of Mao Zedong's ascension and campaign to transform the Chinese into what the party called New People. Following the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek in 1949, after a bloody civil war, Mao hoisted the red flag over Beijing's Forbidden City, and the world watched as the Communist revolution began to wash away the old order. Due to the secrecy surrounding the country's records, little has been known before now about the eight years that followed, preceding the massive famine and Great Leap Forward. Drawing on hundreds of previously classified documents, secret police reports, unexpurgated versions of leadership speeches, eyewitness accounts of those who survived, and more, The Tragedy of Liberation bears witness to a shocking, largely untold history. Interweaving stories of ordinary citizens with tales of the brutal politics of Mao's court, Frank Dikötter illuminates those who shaped the 'liberation' and the horrific policies they implemented in the name of progress. People of all walks of life were caught up in the tragedy that unfolded, and whether or not they supported the revolution, all of them were asked to write confessions, denounce their friends, and answer queries about their political reliability. One victim of thought reform called it a 'carefully cultivated Auschwitz of the mind.' Told with great narrative sweep, The Tragedy of Liberation is a powerful and important document giving voice at last to the millions who were lost, and casting new light on the foundations of one of the most powerful regimes of the twenty-first century"--

"Political (In)Justice compares the legal aspects of political repression in three recent military regimes: Brazil (1964-1985), Chile (1973-1990), and Argentina (1976-1983). By focusing on political trials as a reflection of each regime's overall approach to the law, Anthony Pereira argues that the practice of each regime can be explained by examining the prior relationship between the judiciary and the military."--Jacket

"Europa in Mauthausen" stellt erstmals umfassend die Geschichte der Überlebenden eines nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslagers dar. Diese beruht auf einer einmaligen Sammlung von über 850 lebensgeschichtlichen Interviews mit Überlebenden aus ganz Europa, Israel, Nord- und Südamerika. Der zweite Band "Deportiert nach Mauthausen" geht der Frage nach, auf welche Weise Häftlinge aus zahlreichen europäischen Ländern in den KZ-Komplex Mauthausen gebracht wurden. Die Deportationen, die Transfers von Häftlingen innerhalb des gesamten NS-Lagersystems und die Todesmärsche führten zu einem ständigen Wandel in der Binnenwelt der Konzentrationslager. Trotz der Allpräsenz des gewaltsamen Todes weichen die Schicksale der KZ-Insassen daher beträchtlich voneinander ab. Die Pluralität der Erfahrungen der Überlebenden und die vielfältigen Analyseansätze der Autoren und Autorinnen dieses Bandes bilden die Grundlage für ein neues, vertieftes Verständnis der "Häftlingsgesellschaft".

Diese beruht auf einer einmaligen Sammlung von über 850 lebensgeschichtlichen Interviews mit Überlebenden aus ganz Europa, Israel, Nord- und Südamerika.Der erste Band präsentiert einen Überblick über das Lager und die Mauthausen-Forschung; er konzentriert sich einleitend auf methodologische Überlegungen und makropolitische Zusammenhänge. Die Beiträge zeigen, dass dem nationalsozialistischen Lagersystem in hohem Maße eine ,Funktion' in den Besatzungs- und Verfolgungspolitiken des NS-Regimes (und der kollaborierenden Länder) zukam.
