Als het in Nederland over de oorlog gaat, bedoelen we daarmee bijna altijd de Duitse bezetting. In zijn nieuwe en opmerkelijke overzichtswerk komt historicus Peter Romijn tot een ander inzicht: onze "lange Tweede Wereldoorlog', die begon met de Duitse inval in mei 1940, eindigde pas in de laatste dagen van 1949, met de soevereiniteitsoverdracht aan Indonesië.Van de kampen tot de kampongs: zowel de Nederlanders als de bevolking van de Indische Archipel hebben het hele decennium van de jaren veertig bezetting en repressie, genocide en oorlogsmisdrijven meegemaakt en hun lot was onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden. Ze waren afwisselend getuigen, daders en slachtoffers van mateloos geweld. In De lange Tweede Wereldoorlog laat Romijn even meeslepend als overtuigend zien waarom de oorlogen met Duitsland en in de koloniën onverbrekelijk met elkaar samenhangen.Deze nieuwe visie is onmisbaar voor wie wil begrijpen wat dit uitzonderlijke decennium voor Nederland betekende – en ook nu nog betekent. Geschiedenis van Nederland vanaf het begin van de Duitse bezetting in mei 1940 tot en met de soevereiniteitsoverdracht van Nederlands-Indië op 27 december 1949.

This highly innovative volume provides the first investigation of how political legitimacy operated amid the upheavals of Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. It argues that legitimacy lay not with rulers, and still less in the barrel of a gun, but in the values about what constituted "good" government. Exploring the domains of political discourse, state propaganda and high and low culture, it explains how in the aftermath of German victory in 1939-40, a wide range of contenders, including bureaucrats, collaborators, Communists and other resistance groups, all claimed the right to rule. As an important contribution to the political culture of wartime Europe, this volume will be essential reading for both political scientists and twentieth-century historians.

When World War II ended, Europe was in ruins. Yet politically and socially, the years between 1943 and 1947 were a time of dramatic reconfigurations that proved to be foundational for the making of today's Europe. This volume homes in on the crucial period from the beginning of the end of Nazi rule to the advent of the Cold War. It demonstrates how the everyday experiences of Europeans during these five years shaped the transition of their societies from war to peace. The essays explore these reconfigurations on different scales and levels with the purpose of enhancing our understanding of how wars end.
