		ANTONY BEEVOR: Racism was a very powerful weapon because they were continually talking about the Slav and the Jew and sometimes they'd contradict themselves by talking about the Jewish/Slav commissar.
		ANTONY BEEVOR: Well, I think that it is extremely dangerous when, say, President Bush thinks in terms automatically of this is a war.

	Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege
		Beevor is not a trained historian, so do not expect an in-depth, analytical study of the Battle of Stalingrad with relation to issues such as Hitler's blind fanaticism, Stalin's unpreparedness or German inaction after the Kessel (encirclement).
		Beevor brilliantly captures the story of the individual soldiers and commanders, relationships between Hitler and his generals, and even between Germans and Russians at different levels.
		Beevor achieves this with a variety of sources, including personal letters and diaries, often in the form of entertaining, informative and personal anecdotes.

	Antony Beevor military historian Stalingrad Berlin
		The award-winning military historian Antony Beevor was born in England in December 1946 and when he was small suffered from a condition called Perthes disease, which makes the hipbone go soft, with the result that medical treatment, between the ages of four and seven, required that he go on crutches.
		Antony Beevor has said of this work that the tactical aspects of the story had been very well covered previously but that in terms of his own approach to the subject 'The challenge was to put back in the detail of human experience'.
		Antony Beevor was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French government in 1997 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1999.

	Berlin: The Downfall 1945, by Anthony Beevor
		Beevor says there are even accounts of Red Army soldiers who raped a woman only to appear at her home the next day with food and presents for the children.
		Beevor’s account of the arrival of ‘the very ladylike’ Magda Goebbels and her five doomed children, who descended the steps ‘like a school crocodile’, is chilling.
		Beevor's conclusions are that in response to the vast scale of casualties inflicted on them by the Germans the Soviets responded in kind, and that included rape on a vast scale.

	Swans Commentary: Antony Beevor's "The Mystery Of Olga Chekhova," by Charles Marowitz - cmarow11
		Antony Beevor's book is something of a mystery-thriller bolstered by vivid descriptions of Germany immediately before and after World War II.
		Beevor himself admits, "There remains a considerable quantity of documents on the subject which have not seen and probably will never see the light of day." Which tends to suggest that the "mystery," whose implications all lockstep in one direction, might, over time, do an about face and move in another.
		The outstanding virtues of Beevor's book are the incidental insights about Russia and Germany immediately before and after World War II; fleet illuminations of the cruel reversals of fortune of Stalin and his henchmen, and snapshots of a decadent Nazi hierarchy imperturbably socializing with one another while Berlin crumbles around them.

	Booknotes
		BEEVOR: Well, this is the interesting thing, if you like, from the communist reaction to him once they took over because Chekhov was a brilliant analysis, if you like, an analyst of the mentality of a bourgeoisie which almost knew that it was condemned or -- to extinction.
		BEEVOR: It was a reception for the diplomatic corps in 1939.
		BEEVOR: Well, Olga, of course, had to -- to protect her career, you know, she had to be nice and pretend to be friendly with Goebbels, and she even invited him on occasions out to lunch at her dacha, her little house outside Berlin.

	STALINGRAD - Antony Beevor - Penguin Readers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Antony Beevor's extraordinary narrative, with its unwavering historical accuracy and massive military knowledge, is told with remarkable fluency and graphic vividness as the human cost of the battle is emphasised alongside Stalingrad's importance as the decisive battle on the Eastern Front.
		As Beevor himself acknowledges in his preface, Stalingrad was an extraordinary event which required much more than a relentlessly factual account, told with the customary analytical tone of the historian.
		Beevor combines a soldier's understanding of war's realities with the narrative technique of a novelist...This is a book that lets the reader look into the face of battle.

	THE MYSTERY OF OLGA CHEKHOVA, by Antony Beevor
		Beevor's insight that artists and their lives tend to be more important in dictatorships than democracies is demonstrated by the story he tells.
		Beevor resorts to safe ground in deciding whether she had been an "adventuress," as Chekhov's widow believed, or a dedicated Soviet agent: "As is so often the case, neither alternative tells the whole truth.
		Beevor's thesis is that her brother, composer Lev Knipper, was a Soviet spy, and that she could have been one as well; in fact, that various Soviet intelligence agencies took an active interest in Anton Chekhov's many relatives.

		The story Beevor tells is an almost unremittingly terrible one--one of death, rape, hunger and human misery--but he tells it with both an epic sweep and an alertness to individuality.
		Antony Beevor showed in his excellent Stalingrad how to clearly and accurately portray the chaos and confusion of a vast and sprawling military engagement without losing sight of the individual experience and harrowing minutiae of enormous human tragedy.
		Beevor successfully measures the human suffering against the "meat-grinder" mentality of the ideological clash of Stalinism and Nazism.

		Beevor is dispassionate in his treatment of both sides.
		Beevor's sympathies seem to lie with the Anarchists, though it seems that this is more a result of the fact that the Communists and the Fascists had foreign support from governments which history shows were less than benevolent.

		Beevor delves into the still-prevailing rape psychology of conquering armies (indeed, to large groupings of males in general), assigning four distinct phases to the culture of wartime abuse of women.
		Beevor probably attempts to cover too much ground in a book of only 450 pages, Nevertheless, "Berlin: the Downfall 1945" is well worth reading and inspires me to learn more about the fall of Berlin and the plight of the civilian population of Eastern Europe under Russian occupation at the end of WW II.
		I realize Beevor sets out to give an all-encompasssing account in a few hundred pages, and he does his job well, but I wish those he quotes so often, like Vasily Grossman for the Soviets, could be heard even more so.

	Oliver Kamm: Clash of totalitarianisms
		The historian Antony Beevor has a long and fascinating review in this week’s Times Literary Supplement of two books on the Soviet Union’s role in the Spanish Civil War.
		The great and perhaps unanswerable question for historians is whether the leaders of the Left were forcing their followers onto a dangerous path for their own glorification, or whether they simply were intoxicated by their own revolutionary rhetoric.
		In his review, Beevor doesn’t raise the question of how significant the outcome of the Spanish Civil War was for WWII, but there is a plausible argument (the historian Robert Skidelsky makes it in his collection Interests and Obsessions) that just about everyone overstated it.

	Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - The Fall of Berlin 1945 by Antony Beevor, reviewed by The Atlantic Monthly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Beevor may have missed an authorial trick or two here, because these treks, as they were called, profoundly marked the consciousness of the German people.
		Beevor's specialty here is disentangling the street fighting (as it was in his book Stalingrad).
		(Beevor offers a very British-army aside when he says that British officers regarded the war as a good fight against a reasonably sporting enemy.) In the midst of it all, in a two-story concrete structure deep beneath the garden of the severely neoclassical Reich Chancellery that Albert Speer had built for him, sat Adolf Hitler.

		Beevor also details the Yalta Conference and how Stalin completely hoodwinked Churchill and Roosevelt (Roosevelt himself was very ill at this time and certainly wasn't at his best) in regards to his intentions for Poland and Berlin.
		Beevor details the horrors of war, as German citizens flee from the onrushing Soviets, victorious soldiers rape and pillage, and there is so much human suffering.
		While I certainly understand the concentration on the devastation that was inflicted on the Germans, Beevor really seems to center on the subject of rape, a subject he revisits -- at length -- time and time again.

		Antony Beevor's thoughtfully researched compendium recalls this epic struggle for Stalingrad.
		Beevor points out that the Russians were by no means ready for the war either, making their stand even more remarkable; Soviet intelligence spent as much time spying on its own forces--in fear of desertion, treachery, and incompetence--as they did on the Nazis.
		Due attention is also given to the points of view of the soldiers and generals of both forces, from the sickening battles to life in the gulags.

		We know little of what took place in Stalingrad or its overall significance, leading Beevor to humbly admit that "[t]he Battle of Stalingrad remains such an ideologically charged and symbolically important subject that the last word will not be heard for many years".
		Beevor has raided the archives to bring an honest account of the titanic tussle between Hitler and Stalin in frontline Russia 1941 - 1943; the decisive battle for the symbolic and strategic stronghold of Stalingrad.
		What Beevor truly achieves is an accessible and neat balance between the complexities of the war map with its myriad names of armies, officers, places, battles and mobilisation, with the personal recounts recovered from letters and documents.
