Berlin was the nerve-centre of Hitler's Germany. It was the backdrop for the most lavish of Nazi ceremonies, the venue for Albert Speer's grandiose plans to forge a new 'world metropolis', & the scene of the final climactic battle to defeat Nazism. Berlin was the stage upon which the rise & fall of the Third Reich was most visibly played out. Yet while our understanding of the Holocaust is well developed, we know little about the wider challenges posed to the German people by living under a dictatorship in wartime, the compromises demanded & the hardships endured. As a result our understanding of everyday life in Nazi Germany is profoundly imbalanced: we know in intimate detail how a minority died under Nazism, but we understand precious little about how the majority lived. In this vivid & important study, Roger Moorhouse seeks to portray the German experience of the Second World War, not through an examination of grand politics, but rather from the viewpoint of the capital's streets & homes
- a ' Berlin-eye view' that makes use of published & unpublished memoirs, diaries & interviews. As well as giving a flavour of everyday life in the German capital, Berlin at War also raises issues about consent & dissent, morality & authority, which go to the heart of the experience of war & dictatorship. Above all, it charts the violent humbling of a once-proud metropolis
- the fear, the cruelty, the petty heroism & the individual tragedy.

`A city that has lost one of its limbs & is receiving a miraculous gift, a little bump under the flesh, where the limb is just beginning to grow back`. Thus does the American girl in Jeffrey Lewis` remarkable polyphonic novel describe Berlin & the `remnant Jews, secret GDR Jews... Soviet Jews... Jews who`d fled & come back with the victors, Jews who were lost mandarins now, Jews who`d believed in the universality of man & maybe still did` whom she finds at a Day of Atonement gathering in the eastern part of the city in a year soon after the Wall fell. ” Berlin Cantata” deploys thirteen voices to tell a story not only of atonement, but of discovery, loss, identity, intrigue, mystery, insanity, sadomasochism & lies. At its centre is a country house owned successively by Jews, Nazis & Communists. In the country house, the American girl seeks her hidden past. In the girl, a local reporter seeks redemption. In the reporter, a false hero of the past seeks exposure. In the false hero, the American girl seeks a guide. & so it goes, a round of conspiracy & desire. Even as he describes his native city, the false hero describes the characters of ” Berlin Cantata”: ` We dined on wreckage. We were not afraid to beg. We continued our long tradition of believing either in nothing or too much`. ...
