"In 1997, Daniel Goldhagen published his groundbreaking international bestseller entitled Hitler's Willing Executioners. Drawing on a wealth of unused archival materials, principally the testimony of the killers themselves, Goldhagen took his readers into the killing fields where Germans voluntarily hunted Jews like animals, tortured them, and then posed cheerfully for snapshots with their victims.".
"An explosive work, exhaustively documented, and richly researched, it offered irrefutable proof that should have forced a fundamental revision in our thinking and recording of events, but instead of seeing this work as a chance to seriously re-evaluate what happened in Germany, the influential German historians angrily rejected it with accusations of a lack of scholarship, to a reaction against its popularity. This investigative work deals with that historical bias and the resulting complicity.".
"Fred Kautz, himself a historian, could not understand why leading, professional, German historians refused to take up the gauntlet thrown by Goldhagen. The German Historians is the result of his attempt to get to the bottom of this mystery.
First he presents an overview of Goldhagen's work, then he subjects the public, and private, utterances, and the written reviews of those prominent German historians - Hans Mommsen, Hans-Ulrich Wehler, and Eberhard Jackel - to a very close examination, and finally he draws some conclusions, and warnings, about how we record history."--BOOK JACKET.
