La Segunda Guerra Mundial dejó a Europa sumida en el caos. Paisajes y cultivos destruidos, ciudades completamente arrasadas y más de 35 millones de muertos. En la mayor parte del continente, las instituciones como la policía, los medios de comunicación, el transporte, los gobiernos locales y nacionales, habían dejado de existir. Los índices de criminalidad aumentaron, las economías colapsaron y los ciudadanos europeos estaban al límite de la extenuación. En este apasionante estudio de los años posteriores a la guerra, Keith Lowe describe un continente todavía sacudido por la violencia, donde una gran parte de la población no había aceptado aún que la guerra hubiera terminado. El libro subraya la ausencia de moralidad y la insaciable sed de venganza consecuencia del conflicto. Describe los choques étnicos y los enfrentamientos civiles que azotaron las vidas de la gente común desde el mar Báltico al Mediterráneo y el establecimiento de un nuevo orden que finalmente trajo una difícil estabilidad a un continente devastado. Casi todo lo referente a la Segunda Guerra Mundial ha sido estudiado y difundido. Sin embargo, muy poco es lo que se conoce de los cinco años posteriores a la guerra en los que murieron también millones de europeos y decenas de millones sufrieron los horrores de la posguerra. Basado en documentos originales, entrevistas y estudios académicos en ocho lenguas diferentes, Continente salvaje cambia radicalmente la visión que hasta hoy se tenía de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y ayuda a entender la Europa de nuestros días, heredera de aquellos conflictos.
World War II left Europe in chaos. Landscapes and crops destroyed, cities completely devastated and more than 35 million dead. In most of the continent, institutions such as the police, the media, transportation, local and national governments, had ceased to exist. Crime rates rose, economies collapsed, and European citizens were on the brink of exhaustion. In this gripping study of the post-war years, Keith Lowe describes a continent still wracked with violence, where a large part of the population had not yet accepted that the war was over. The book underscores the absence of morality and the insatiable thirst for revenge resulting from the conflict. He describes the ethnic clashes and civil strife that ravaged the lives of ordinary people from the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean and the establishment of a new order that ultimately brought uneasy stability to a devastated continent. Almost everything related to World War II has been studied and disseminated. However, very little is known of the five years after the war in which millions of Europeans also died and tens of millions suffered the horrors of the postwar period. Based on original documents, interviews, and academic studies in eight different languages, Wild Continent radically changes the vision of World War II that until today and helps to understand the Europe of our days, heir to those conflicts.
