{"product_id":"german-autumn-9780816677528","title":"German Autumn","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn late 1946, Stig Dagerman was assigned by the Swedish newspaper Expressen to report on life in Germany immediately after the fall of the Third Reich. First published in Sweden in 1947, \u003ci\u003eGerman Autumn, \u003c\/i\u003e a collection of the articles written for that assignment, was unlike any other reporting at the time. While most Allied and foreign journalists spun their writing on the widely held belief that the German people deserved their fate, Dagerman disagreed and reported on the humanness of the men and women ruined by the war--their guilt and suffering. Dagerman was already a prominent writer in Sweden, but the publication and broad reception of \u003ci\u003eGerman Autumn\u003c\/i\u003e throughout Europe established him as a compassionate journalist and led to the long-standing international influence of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented here in its first American edition with a compelling new foreword by Mark Kurlansky, Dagerman's essays on the tragic aftermath of war, suffering, and guilt are as hauntingly relevant today amid current global conflict as they were sixty years ago. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816677528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/09\/2015 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Stig Dagerman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276380954805,"sku":"9780816677528","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_19657c0c-35d3-41df-a3e5-3b61cc7c11f1.jpg?v=1744123025","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/german-autumn-9780816677528","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
