The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945 By Saul Friedlander (HarperCollins, 870 pp., $39.95) With the publication of The Years of Extermination, Saul Friedlander adds to his already well-established reputation as one of the world's pre-eminent historians of the Holocaust and of its place in modern European, German, and Jewish history. In this synthetic work that draws on scholarship of recent decades, Friedlander integrates a history of German official decision-making-- from Hitler down through his various chains of command-- with the observations, chronicles, and analyses of Jewish diarists.
It is all here. Friedlander's evidence comes from official documents, but also from numerous eyewitnesses whose personal chronicles are, in his words, "like lightning flashes that illuminate parts of the landscape. " The Years of Extermination rests on a career of scholarship nearly half a century long. An integrated history requires balance. This is a crucial point.
