{"product_id":"outcast-europe-sharif-gemie-9781441115454","title":"Outcast Europe: Refugees and Relief Workers in an Era of Total War 1936-48","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe period of the 'long' Second World War (1936-1948) was marked by mass movements of diverse populations: 60 million people either fled or were forced from their homes. This book considers the Spanish Republicans fleeing Franco's Spain in 1939, the French civilians trying to escape the Nazi invasion in 1940, and the millions of people displaced or expelled by the forces of Hitler's Third Reich. Throughout this period state and voluntary organisations were created to take care of the homeless and the displaced. National organisations dominated until the end of the war; afterwards, international organisations - the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency and the International Refugee Organisation - were formed to deal with what was clearly an international problem.\u003cbr\u003eUsing case studies of displaced people and of relief workers, this book is unique in placing such crises at the centre rather than the margins of wartime experience, making the work nothing less than an alternative history of the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharif Gemie, Laure Humbert, Fiona Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441115455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441115454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Sharif Gemie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46250486694143,"sku":"9781441115454","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b92bb7a-d8ef-4861-be6a-5c61c0a0f279.jpg?v=1729600460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/outcast-europe-sharif-gemie-9781441115454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
