Gruesome Harvest

On May 8, 1945 the shooting ended in Europe. But, shockingly, the war against Germany went on. Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill had decreed that the German people must suffer-and suffer they did.
Driven from their homes, looted of their property, decimated by famine and disease, raped, robbed, and enslaved, millions of Germans-most of them women and children-bore the brunt of what Time magazine called "history's most terrifying peace".
Gruesome Harvest was one of the first books in America to sound the alarm against the victor's postwar war against the Germans.
Bristling with contemporary documentation, burning with humanitarian and patriotic outrage, this informed, riveting classic dares to tell the shameful story of how American and Allied policy makers undertook the political, economic, and social destruction of the German people even as they presumed to instruct them in "justice" and "democracy."
Today, as the propaganda war against the Germans wears on in the media and academic life, Gruesome Harvest, written in 1947 by a courageous American, when the decimation of the German race was still official U.S.-Allied policy, tells a vital story, one that must not be suppressed or forgotten.
"If war should come, whichever side may claim ultimate victory, nothing is more certain that victor and vanquished alike would glean a gruesome harvest of human misery and suffering."-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, July 31, 1939, to the House of Commons.

For those interested in knowing all of world war 2 history, and not just the rosy view from the perspective of the victor, this book is a must read. My mother's side of the family are ethnic German expellees from Yugoslavia and this book aided in explaining why my family went hungry in the American zone.All too often the rhetoric we hear is the sufferings, both real and alleged, caused by those we defeat in war. We never hear about the atrocities that our side commits. This book exposes the atrocities the Allies committed willfully against civilians, leaving the reader asking why does our country claim the moral high ground?This certainly qualifies to be called a "holocaust" against the German people, yet in our politically biased atmosphere it is unknown. For those of you interested in the human rights of all peoples, not just those we support in wars, this is a must for you. It will make you wonder what is wrong with your history books.
This book dives deeper not just into post WWII Germany ,but Europe also. A must read for anyone interested in post WWII Europe.
Learn from history or repeat it. This book is concise, and well documented. If you’re not afraid to have the Hollywood image of WWII challenged, read it.
In my opinion, historical accounts are best when viewed at the time of the occurrence. This harsh critique of the events surrounding WWII that led to the decimation of post-war Germany is a great example. Things like this account inevitably led to the scrapping of the overly-punitive Morgenthau Plan to be replaced with the Marshall Plan.It's very informative, brisk, and enjoyable.
This book and Germany Must Perish by Theodore Kaufman and written in 1941 BEFORE the alleged event called the hollowcuast. It seems that certain people as well as the US Government dont want the world to know the dirty truth of the Evil that was espoused.by this group and the Forced slavery, starvation and genocide of the German people by the US, France, Russia etc... Even Gen. Patton knew who the problem was before he was assassinated.
