The Two Hundred Years’ War

Antonino De Francesco, University of Milan, Italy This book provides a critical examination of over 300 historical works about the French Revolution, published in Europe (in particular in France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Russia) as well as in the United States between 1789 and 1989. It also explores recent trends in French Revolution historiography and considers where histories of this landmark event may go in the future. By emphasizing the elements which have been valued or hidden, exalted or silenced, Historicizing the French Revolution shows how reflections on 1789 are always fundamentally tied to the times, and often the places, in which they are formulated.

Reconciliation and Resistance in Early Modern Spain

Religion and Politics in Interwar Yugoslavia

Teresa Tinsley, Independent Scholar, UK

Maria Falina, Dublin City University, Republic of Ireland

Hernando de Baeza and the Catholic Monarchs

This book offers an original perspective on the religious unification of the medieval kingdoms of Iberia. It uses the eventful career of Hernando de Baeza as a thread to connect the events, controversies and preoccupations of the nation emerging from multi-faith Iberia with dreams of Christianising the whole world. Drawing on a wealth of extensive archival evidence, together with Baeza’s own memoir (translated here for the first time), the book demonstrates the widespread resistance to the authoritarian and exclusionary Christianity which would come to be associated with Spain, the Inquisition, and the Catholic Monarchs of the period.

As such, this book is a significant contribution to the history of religion and nationalism in the Balkans.

The Kaiser, Hitler and the Jewish Department Store

A Nazi Camp Near Danzig

John F. Mueller, University of Cambridge, UK

Ruth Schwertfeger, University of WisconsinMilwaukee, USA

The Reich's Retailer

Tracing a generation of Jews who found fortune and influence in Germany only to have their livelihoods taken from them by the Nazis in the 1930s, The Kaiser, Hitler and the Jewish Department Store draws on a range of archival sources to reveal how - contrary to Nazi claims Jewish-owned department stores were decent employers, popular with customers, and well integrated into society. As such, this book cogently argues that their demise cannot solely be attributed to widespread anti-Semitism. In this book, John F. Mueller elegantly challenges common assumptions about consumer culture and the Jewish question and provides fresh insight into the social history of modern Germany.

H I S T O R Y - European History / Holocaust & Genocide

Historicizing the French Revolution

Perspectives on Shame and on the Holocaust from Stutthof

Within the vast network of Nazi camps, Stutthof may be the least known beyond Poland. This book is the first scholarly publication in English to break the silence of Stutthof, where 120,000 people were interned and at least 65,000 perished. A Nazi Camp near Danzig offers an overview of Stutthof’s history. It also explores Danzig’s significance in promoting the cult of German nationalism which led to Stutthof’s establishment and which shaped its subsequent development in 1942 into a Concentration Camp, with the full resources of the Nazi Reich.
