On the Natural History of Destruction

by Winfried Georg Sebald

About this title: W. G. Sebald writes eloquently about Germany in the aftermath of World War II, particularly the strange reluctance of Germans to talk about the extensive bombing of their country by the Allies. He also discusses the work of German writers who have written on the subject, or avoided it--particularly Alfred Andersch and Jean Améry. Sebald has been accused by some critics of endeavoring to turn the Germans into victims of World War II rather than its aggressors; however, what he is doing, rather, is pondering the concept of "collateral damage" of war, and its ethical implications.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is further described below.
