Volker R. Berghahn is the Seth Low Emeritus Professor of History at Columbia University. His books include American Big Business in Britain and Germany and Europe in the Era of Two World Wars (both Princeton).
“This major historical work focuses on the careers of three
exemplary journalists, and looks at the evolution of West German
journalism and of Hamburg as a journalistic metropolis. Journalists
between Hitler and Adenauer reminds us of the enormous influence
once exerted by newspapers and magazines and makes an original
contribution to our understanding of the roots of the modern
Federal Republic.”—David E. Barclay, executive director of the
German Studies Association
“Relying on previously unknown sources, this fine book charts the
path of three leading journalists before, during, and after the
Third Reich. Berghahn reassesses the concept of `inner emigration’
and examines the `gray zones’ between conformity and resistance
that each protagonist tried to exploit. He thereby casts new light
on the role of journalists in providing moral and political
guidance to German statesmen and the public as they confronted the
crimes of Nazism.”—James Retallack, University of Toronto
