Description

 							A marvelous global history of the pivotal year 1945 as a new world emerged from the ruins of World War II
 

  Year Zero is a landmark reckoning with the great drama that ensued after war came to an end in 1945. One world
had ended and a new, uncertain one was beginning. Regime change had come on a global scale: across Asia (including
China, Korea, Indochina, and the Philippines, and of course Japan) and all of continental Europe. Out of the often
vicious power struggles that ensued emerged the modern world as we know it.
  
  In human terms, the scale of
transformation is almost impossible to imagine. Great cities around the world lay in ruins, their populations decimated,
displaced, starving. Harsh revenge was meted out on a wide scale, and the ground was laid for much horror to come. At
the same time, in the wake of unspeakable loss, the euphoria of the liberated was extraordinary, and the revelry
unprecedented. The postwar years gave rise to the European welfare state, the United Nations, decolonization, Japanese
pacifism, and the European Union. Social, cultural, and political “reeducation” was imposed on vanquished by
victors on a scale that also had no historical precedent. Much that was done was ill advised, but in hindsight, as Ian
Buruma shows us, these efforts were in fact relatively enlightened, humane, and effective.
  
  A poignant
grace note throughout this history is Buruma’s own father’s story. Seized by the Nazis during the
occupation of Holland, he spent much of the war in Berlin as a laborer, and by war’s end was literally hiding in
the rubble of a flattened city, having barely managed to survive starvation rations, Allied bombing, and Soviet shock
troops when the end came. His journey home and attempted reentry into “normalcy” stand in many ways for his
generation’s experience.
  
  A work of enormous range and stirring human drama, conjuring both the
Asian and European theaters with equal fluency, Year Zero is a book that Ian Buruma is perhaps uniquely positioned to
write. It is surely his masterpiece.
