This book is a study in the ethics of war. It is the only work to focus on the moral dilemmas of resistance and collaboration in Nazi-occupied Europe. It presents a comprehensive guide to the harrowing ethical choices that confronted people in Hitler's Europe and includes a detailed discussion of Jewish resistance and 'collaboration'. The central theme is a study of how resistance movements responded to German security policy. This had at its foundation the doctrine of collective responsibility, which was a major weapon in the Nazis' war against subversion. It included the systematic taking and killing of hostages, reprisal killings and the burning of villages. Bennett offers a detailed analysis of morally questionable methods of resistance - torture, the mutilation and killing of German prisoners of war and guerrilla warfare. Resistance is assessed in relation to the laws of war and the just-war tradition.

Industry Reviews

'This is a history book of the best sort: an even-handed account that makes us question the assumptions we have taken for granted and look back at the details we have too often overlooked, tried hard to forget or swept away.' - Dr Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London
