Based on untapped sources from eastern Europe and forgotten testimonies from Jewish survivors, \u003ci\u003eBlack Earth\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the mass murder of the Jews as an event that is still close to us, more comprehensible than we would like to think and thus all the more terrifying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy overlooking the lessons of the Holocaust, Snyder concludes, we have misunderstood modernity and endangered the future. The early twenty-first century is coming to resemble the early twentieth, as growing preoccupations with food and water accompany ideological challenges to global order. Our world is closer to Hitler's than we like to admit, and saving it requires us to see the Holocaust as it was--and ourselves as we are. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGroundbreaking, authoritative, and utterly absorbing, \u003ci\u003eBlack Earth\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a Holocaust that is not only history but warning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Editors' Choice - Finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize; the Mark Lynton History Prize; the Arthur Ross Book Award\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy Snyder\u003c\/b\u003e is the Richard C.
