Abstract

"Following on from Public Schools and the Great War, Sir Anthony Seldon and David Walsh now examine those same schools in the Second World War. Privileged conservative traditions of private schools were challenged in the inter-war years by the changing social and political landscape, including a greater role for the alumni of girls public schools. What was that public school spirit in 1939 and how did it and its products cope with, and contribute to, the requirements of a modern global conflict both physically and intellectually? The book answers these questions by, for example, examining the public schools role in the development and operations of the RAF in unconventional warfare and code-breaking. At home there was bombing, evacuation and the threat of invasion. Finally, the authors study how public schools shaped the way the war was interpreted culturally and how they responded to victory in 1945 and hopes of a new social order. This fascinating book draws widely on primary source material and personal accounts of inspiring courage and endurance."--Amazon.com.

Abstract

Dans les années sombres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'École normale supérieure de la rue d'Ulm a vécu au rythme des événements qui ont boule-versé la France. S'y sont croisées des figures aussi différentes que Jérôme Carcopino — directeur de l'École et un temps ministre à Vichy —, Jean Cavaillès — « philosophe bourré d'explosifs » — et Henri Cartan — le père des mathématiques modernes. Des jeunes gens appelés à un brillant avenir y ont fait leurs premières classes universitaires. Pêle-mêle, Maurice Clavel, Jean Delumeau, Pierre Moussa, René Rémond ou Jean-François Revel pour les lettres, Marcel Boiteux, Gérard Debreu ou René Thom pour les sciences. Tandis que les candidats juifs, interdits de scolarité, se voyaient attribuer des numéros « bis » en cas de réussite au concours. Alors les normaliens ont à la fois beaucoup travaillé et, pour certains, beaucoup résisté, surtout après la mise en place du STO en février 1943. Robert Salmon a fondé Défense de la France. Henri Plard a passé trois mois à Drancy pour avoir porté l'étoile jaune alors qu'il était protestant. La Gestapo a fait irruption rue d'Ulm la nuit du 4 août 1944. Elle a arrêté le directeur adjoint Jean Bruhat et le secrétaire général Jean Baillou. Le premier n'est jamais revenu de Buchenwald. Soixante ans après, c'est cette histoire que retrace Stéphane Israël au terme d'une enquête sur les normaliens des promotions 1937 à 1943 et sur l'administration et les enseignants de l'École pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'histoire totale d'un passé qui ne passe pas.

Abstract

From Stalag 17 to The Manchurian Candidate, the American media have long been fascinated with stories of American prisoners of war. But few Americans are aware that enemy prisoners of war were incarcerated on our own soil during World War II. In The Barbed-Wire College Ron Robin tells the extraordinary story of the 380,000 German prisoners who filled camps from Rhode Island to Wisconsin, Missouri to New Jersey. Using personal narratives, camp newspapers, and military records, Robin re-creates in arresting detail the attempts of prison officials to mold the daily lives and minds of their prisoners. From 1943 onward, and in spite of the Geneva Convention, prisoners were subjected to an ambitious reeducation program designed to turn them into American-style democrats. Under the direction of the Pentagon, liberal arts professors entered over 500 camps nationwide. Deaf to the advice of their professional rivals, the behavioral scientists, these instructors pushed through a program of arts and humanities that stressed only the positive aspects of American society. Aided by German POW collaborators, American educators censored popular books and films in order to promote democratic humanism and downplay class and race issues, materialism, and wartime heroics. Red-baiting Pentagon officials added their contribution to the program, as well; by the war's end, the curriculum was more concerned with combating the appeals of communism than with eradicating the evils of National Socialism. The reeducation officials neglected to account for one factor: an entrenched German military subculture in the camps, complete with a rigid chain of command and a propensity for murdering "traitors." The result of their neglect was utter failure for the reeducation program. By telling the story of the program's rocky existence, however, Ron Robin shows how this intriguing chapter of military history was tied to two crucial episodes of twentieth- century American history: the battle over the future of American education and the McCarthy-era hysterics that awaited postwar America.
