520 The Second World War might have officially ended in May
1945, but in reality, it rumbled on for another ten
years...The end of the Second World War in Europe is one
of the twentieth century's most iconic moments. It is
fondly remembered as a time when cheering crowds filled
the streets, danced, drank, and made love until the small
hours. These images of victory and celebration are so
strong in our minds that the period of anarchy and civil
war that followed has been forgotten. Across Europe,
landscapes had been ravaged, entire cities razed and more
than thirty million people had been killed in the war. The
institutions that we now take for granted-such as the
police, the media, transport, local and national
government-either were entirely absent or hopelessly
compromised. Crime rates were soaring, economies
collapsing, and the European population was hovering on
the brink of starvation. In Savage Continent, Keith Lowe
describes a continent still racked by violence, where
large sections of the population had yet to accept that
the war was over. Individuals, communities and sometimes
whole nations sought vengeance for the wrongs that had
been done to them during the war. Germans and
collaborators everywhere were rounded up, tormented, and
summarily executed. Concentration camps were reopened and
filled with new victims who were tortured and starved.
Violent anti-Semitism was reborn, sparking murders and new
pogroms across Europe. Massacres were an integral part of
the chaos and in some places-particularly Greece,
Yugoslavia and Poland, as well as parts of Italy and
France-they led to brutal civil wars. In some of the
greatest acts of ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen,
tens of millions were expelled from their ancestral
homelands, often with the implicit blessing of the Allied
authorities. Savage Continent is the story of post WWII
Europe, in all its ugly detail, from the end of the war
right up until the establishment of an uneasy stability
across Europe toward the end of the 1940s. Based
principally on primary sources from a dozen countries,
Savage Continent is a frightening and thrilling chronicle
of a world gone mad, the standard history of post WWII
Europe for years to come.
