Sebastian Conrad compares the ways German and Japanese scholars revised national history after World War II in the shadows of fascism, surrender, and American occupation. Defeat in 1945 marked the death of the national past in both countries, yet, as Conrad proves, historians did not abandon national perspectives during reconstruction. Quite the opposite-the nation remained hidden at the center of texts as scholars tried to make sense of the past and searched for fragments of the nation they had lost. By situating both countries in the Cold War, Conrad shows that the focus on the nation can be understood only within a transnational context. 410 0$aCalifornia world history library ;$v12. 606 $aHistoriography$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xInfluence 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects$zGermany 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects$zJapan 606 $aCold War$xSocial aspects$zGermany 606 $aCold War$xSocial aspects$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xHistoriography 607 $aJapan$xHistoriography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistoriography$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xInfluence. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCold War$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCold War$xSocial aspects 676 $a943.086072/043 700 $aConrad$b Sebastian$0610553 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459430903321 996 $aThe quest for the lost nation$92465067 997 $aUNINA
