"Children see and hear what is there; adults see and hear what they are expected to and mainly remember what they think they ought to remember," David Lowenthal wrote in The Past Is a Foreign Country. It is on this fraught foundation that Fred Lanzing builds this memoir of his childhood in a Japanese internment camp for Dutch colonialists in the East Indies during the World War II. When published in the Netherlands in 2007, the book triggered controversy, if not vitriol, for Lanzing's assertion that his time in the camp was not the compendium of horrors commonly associated with the Dutch internment experience. Despite the angry reception, Lanzing's account corresponds more closely with the scant historical record than do most camp memoirs. In this way, Lanzing's work is a substantial addition to ongoing discussions of the politics of memory and the powerful--if contentious--contributions that subjective accounts make to historiography and to the legacies of the past. Lanzing relates an aspect of the war in the Pacific seldom discussed outside the Netherlands and, by focusing on the experiences of ordinary people, expands our understanding of World War II in general. His compact, beautifully detailed account will be accessible to undergraduate students and a general readership and, together with the introduction by William H. Frederick, is a significant contribution to literature on World War II, the Dutch colonial experience, the history of childhood, and Southeast Asian history"--

How are soldiers made? Why do they fight? Re-imagining the study of armed forces and society, Barkawi examines the imperial and multinational armies that fought in Asia in the Second World War, especially the British Indian army in the Burma campaign. Going beyond conventional narratives, Barkawi studies soldiers in transnational context, from recruitment and training to combat and memory. Drawing on history, sociology and anthropology, the book critiques the 'Western way of war' from a postcolonial perspective. Barkawi reconceives soldiers as cosmopolitan, their battles irreducible to the national histories that monopolise them. This book will appeal to those interested in the Second World War, armed forces and the British Empire, and students and scholars of military sociology and history, South Asian studies and international relations.

Et si la liberté n'était qu'une illusion ? Ou comment le vécu extrême des anciens - organisé par la violence de l'Histoire - détermine le devenir des générations suivantes. A travers l'expérience de la Résistance et de la déportation lors de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, ce livre a pour objectif de montrer les effets de la transmission du traumatisme et de sa représentation sur les descendants. Les enfants des Résistants déportés ont subi une double influence, marquée par le sentiment de fragilité et de souffrance parentale, associé à celui de force, de courage et d'engagement (paradoxe : héros/victime). Leur parcours de vie est imprégné par cette mémoire et la volonté testimoniale de leur parent. Après une description des séquelles traumatiques des ascendants et la présentation des concepts sur la transmission transgénérationnelle, l'auteur laisse une large place à l'expression des descendants. Psychologue clinicienne et elle-même fille et petite-fille de résistantes déportées, elle a souhaité partager son vécu et son analyse avec d'autres témoins de sa génération.
