World War II might have officially ended in 1945 but the ongoing turmoil and retribution that Ian Buruma portrays is chilling. The violence of the aggressors, the violence too of the humiliated underdog, the rape and murder of German women particularly brutal as is the fact that after the war Jews returning home were often set on, even murdered after discovering that no-one was going to give back their homes and possessions. Besides all this violence and hatred there were the first signs of a better life to come as the foundations were laid for democratic institutions, better health and, with the birth of the United Nations, an attempt to put an end to warring nations.
