This is a tale of a life few understand today: the human cost of Empire, where families were torn apart - a father seen once every four years - growing up in the Thirties, a time much talked and written about by those who never knew it; a strange Oxford; the war at its most savage against an enemy like no other. And then communicating to a generation that knew not these things the values we had fought for. It is the story of one who found a faith and who after a life longer than most believed others should know about it. Over these years the East followed the author until he said goodbye to it in a special way. A tale of struggle, but of much fun and a humour that lights up its pages . You will discover after reading this book that these years have been worth recalling.

Entre 1941 et 1943, un million et demi d''hommes, de femmes et d''enfants furent exécutés par les Einsatzgruppen. Ces groupes d''intervention mobile, constitués de SS et de policiers, ont été les maîtres d''œuvre de l''Holocauste. La première étape, dans le cadre du plan Barbarossa, visait l''extermination des populations juives, mais aussi slaves, sur le front russe, en Pologne, en Ukraine et en Lituanie. C''est ainsi que, dans les ravins de Babi Yar, en Ukraine, plus de 33 000 personnes furent massacrées en deux jours. "À la main", une par une. La mission des Einsatzgruppen était celle de tueurs professionnels. L''auteur s''intéresse à la nature de cette brutalité froide et calculée, il s''interroge et enquête sur les conditions dans lesquelles des citoyens ordinaires deviennent des meurtriers de masse. Himmler alla jusqu''à créer des institutions spécialisées pour accueillir les tueurs traumatisés. Déséquilibrés mentaux, convaincus de l''idéologie nazie, assassins de bureau comme Eichmann, mais aussi contemporains d''un monde dans lequel les grandes nations annexaient, colonisaient, déplaçaient et exterminaient les populations civiles "inférieures". L''horreur résiste aux analyses. On sait aussi que le mal absolu à l''œuvre dans ces tueries a encore cours.
