Book
The bitter taste of victory : life, love, and art in the ruins of the Reich / Lara Feigel.
"In this colorful narrative, Feigel (The Love-charm of Bombs), a senior lecturer in English at King's College, London, uses the lives of 20 American, British, and German cultural figures as a lens through which to examine post-WWII Germany, from the Nazis' surrender to the early fall of 1949. Some of Feigel's subjects are well known, such as novelist Thomas Mann, filmmaker Billy Wilder, and poet W.H. Auden; others, considerably less so, including photographer Lee Miller, journalist Martha Gellhorn, and novelist Rebecca West."-- Publishers Weekly.
