About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Morgenthau Era Letters by Austin J. App, Ph.D., is a polemical collection centered on the post-World War II settlement of Germany and the controversy surrounding the Morgenthau Plan. Presented as documentary commentary, the book argues that Allied occupation policy amounted to a deliberate program of deindustrialization, retribution, and collective punishment that reshaped Central Europe under the banner of reconstruction. App frames the 'Morgenthau era' as a decisive turning point in which wartime rhetoric hardened into long-term policy, contending that public narratives concealed the severity of economic controls, population transfers, and political realignments imposed in the aftermath of 1945. Confrontational in tone and revisionist in intent, the work positions itself as a corrective to mainstream histories of the occupation period, asserting that the moral and material consequences of Allied policy were deeper and more punitive than commonly acknowledged.
