As jobs andcapital whip around theplanet, collegestudents will graduate into aworld whereeconomic instabilityand social inequality areincreasingand geographic boundaries matter lessand less. Unfortunately, globalization andsocialinequalityremaintwo of themost over-theorized, under-reportedissues of ourage.Mybookisanintimateinvestigative account of howthisvolatilenew realityaffects theyoung people of an Indian slum called Annawadi. Like youngpeopleelsewhere,the Annawadiansare trying to figureout their place in aworld wheretempjobsare becomingthe norm,adaptabilityiseverything, andbewilderingchange is theone abidingconstant. Behind theBeautiful Forevers took me threehardyears to report,and onethought that sustainedmewas that Ihad aunique opportunity to showAmericanreadersthatthe distance betweenthemselvesand,say,ateenagedboy in Mumbai whofinds an entrepreneurialniche in otherpeople’sgarbage,isnot nearly as greatastheymight think. In thetwo decades I’ve spent writingabout povertyand howpeopleget outofit, I’ve come to believe,viscerally, that there aredeepconnections amongindividuals that transcendspecificities of geography, culture, religion, or class. Theproblem is that,inatimeofhighwallsand security gates, it’s getting harder forpeopleofmeans to graspthe struggles of lessprivileged people. Behindone such highwall,nearthe increasinglyglamorous Mumbai airport, asensitive girl is studying Othello in amakeshifthut by avastsewagelakeand dreadinganarranged marriagethatmight send hertoaruralvillage.

Ibeganthinking aboutthisbookinthe city of Ban¯aras on theRiver Gang¯a in northIndia more than twenty-fiveyears ago. Iwas then writingabookabout that greatcity, aplace I presumed to be themostimportant sacred city of India. Over thecenturies, many visitors to Ban¯aras,orV¯a r¯anas¯i ,havecomparedthiscityinsanctityand preeminence to Mecca, Jerusalem, andRome, as theholiestcenterofHindu pilgrimage.For example,inthe 1860s, a Britishcivil servant, Norman Macleod, wroteeffusively, “Benares is to theHindoos what Meccaistothe Mohammedans, andwhatJerusalem wastothe Jews of old. It is the‘holy’city of Hindostan. Ihavenever seen anythingapproachingtoitasavisible embodimentof religion; nordoesanythinglikeitexist on earth.”The singlingout of acentertowardwhichan entire religious community turnsincollectivememoryorinprayermade sensetoMacleod,as it does formanywho have been schooled in thehabitsofthought shaped by Western monotheistic consciousness.EveninIndia,there have been many whowould agreeonthe central andsupremesignificance of Ban¯aras,whichHindusalsocalled K¯ash¯i, theLuminous, theCityofLight.Thisisapowerfuland ancientcity, itsdense maze of alleyways as dark as its riverfront is radiant. Itsmorningbathingrites facingthe risingsun andits smokingcremation groundsright therealong theriverfrontare theheartbeat of acitythatnever failstoleave a lastingimprint on thevisitor or pilgrim. Ilived offand on foryears in Ban¯aras.EvenasIinvestigatedthe legends andtemples of this city,however,IbegangraduallytounderstandwhatmostHinduswho visitthe city alreadyknow—thatBan¯a rasdoesnot standalone as thegreat centerofpilgrimagefor Hindus, butispartofanextensive networkofpilgrimageplaces stretchingthroughoutthe lengthand breadthofIndia.The very namesofthe temples, the gh¯ats,and thebathingtanks of thecity arederived from this broader landscape, just as thenames of K¯ash¯iand itsgreat Shivatemple of Vishvana¯tha aretobefound in pilgrimage places all over India. Ibegantorealize that the entire land of Indiaisagreat networkofpilgrimageplaces—referential,inter-referential, ancientand modern, complex andever-changing.Asawhole,itconstitutes what wouldhave to be called a“sacred geography,”asvastand complex as thewhole of thesubcontinent. In this wider networkofpilgrimage, nothing, noteventhe greatcityofBan¯a ras, stands alone, but rather everythingispartofaliving, storied, andintricately connectedlandscape. At first, Iresisted thecomplexities of this peripheralvision, still interested as Iwas in establishingwhatmakes this oneplace special, different from therest. It became cleartome, however, that Icould understandBan¯a rasonlyinthe context of amuchwider systemof meanings in whichsignificance is marked notbyuniqueness, butbymultiplicity,eveninthe greatcityofK¯a sh¯i .Everythingabout the holy city seemed to be duplicated elsewhere,set amid apattern of symbolic significationthatmade Ban¯aras notunique,but inextricably part of a wider landscapeshapedbythe repetition andlinking of itsfeatures. Ibegantorealize that K¯ash¯iwas not the center, butone of multiple centers in afascinatingand polycentric landscape, linkedwiththe tracks of pilgrimage.

Debt is all around us.Moderneconomies runonconsumerdebt; modernnation-states, on deficitfinancing; internationalrelations turn on debt.What’smore, forthe last threeyears, we’vefacedaglobal debt crisis that’s hobbledthe worldeconomy andstill threatenstosendit crashingintoruins. Yetnoone ever stopstoask:How did this happen? What is debt,anyway? What does it even mean to saywe“owe” someonesomething? Howdid it happen that,in almost all timesand places in humanhistory,“paying your debts” has been asynonym for morality,but money-lendershavebeenseenasthe embodimentofevil? Ifirst beganasking myself thesequestionsasanactivist, during the“drop thedebt” campaignsinthe early2000s. Butitwas only afterthe financialmeltdownofSeptember 2008 that answeringthembecamea drivingpassion. It seemed to me that in thedaysimmediately afterthe crash,the space had opened up foragenuineconversationabout money, markets, credit,and finance, aboutthe nature of debt,about value, therelationofmoney andmorality, aboutwhatpeoplegenuinely owetoone another. Yetsomehow, this conversation neverhappened. It wasasifwe’ve forgotten howtoask bigquestionsany more. It wasatthispoint Irealizedthatwithmytraininginhistory andanthropology, Iwas in a unique position to trytoopenthe conversation up.Thusbeganaseries of investigationsthat culminated in thewriting of this book. What Idiscoveredalong theway startled even me. First of all,almostall ourfamiliarassumptionsabout moneyhistory turned outtobewrong. We areusedtoassumingthateconomic lifebeganwithbarter, movedontomoney,and only then did we developcreditsystems.Infact, what happened wasprecisely theopposite. Credit came first. What we’d nowcall “virtual money” preceded coinagebythousands of years, and humanhistory has alternated back andforth betweenperiods of virtualmoney,and periods dominated by gold andsilver—whichhavealso, invariably,beentimes of empire,war,and . What’s more,since thedawnofrecordedhistory,arguments over credit,debt, virtual andphysical moneyhavebeenatthe very centerofpolitical life—the language of theBible andother greatreligious texts resonateswithit, untold popularuprisings have been inspired by it,and theoutcome of thesebattles have shaped ourown laws, oureconomic institutions, ourveryconceptionsoffreedom andmorality, in ways we cannolongerevensee. Reconstructing this historyofdebtreveals oddconcepts—lifedebts, blood debts, flesh debts, milk debts—but also,throwsall ourfamiliarconceptionsofhistory askew, from thereal nature of theAfrican slavetrade,tothe originsofAdamSmith’s free market rhetoricin MedievalIslam.Above all,itreveals we stand, today, at aprecipice.There is everyreasonthat thereturntovirtual moneymarks amajor turningpoint in worldhistory.But it’s only by lookingatthe full sweepofthe past that we have anychanceofunderstandingwhatthatmight reallymean.

Over many yearsIhavespokentoaudiences at universities, veterans’associationsand at myriad events to commemoratethe sacrifice of youngAmericans in WWII, thegreatest conflictinhistory with afinal butcher’s bill of over fiftymillionlives. Amongstudents in particular,Ihavefound agreat desiretolearn aboutthe unknownmen andwomen who earned victoryinWWII, notthe strategy,not thegames of thegenerals,not theweapons that enabledmassindustrialslaughter on an unprecedentedscale.Thankfully, becauseofthe nature of my work,Ihavebeenabletoshare with many students, as well as readers, theoften deeply moving andinspiring stories of ageneration that bought Americamoregoodwill around theglobe than anyother andwhichisnow passingawayatatragicallyacceleratedrate. At onecollegerecently, Iwas askedwhy 135,576 Americansdiedtoliberate Europe.Was their deathabsolutelynecessary?Why did youngAmericans have to laydowntheir livesin such huge numbersjustageneration afterthe last bloodbath in Europe? Theanswertothisquestion lies at theheart of TheLiberator,mynew book, whichfollows thefortunesofamaverickinfantry officer,Felix Sparks, whofoughtthroughoutthe time it took to liberate Europe,fromthe invasionofSicily in July 1943 to thewar’s endinMay 1945. No American enduredmoreheartbreakand violence forlongertofreemorepeoplefromthe greatest evil of moderntimes. On 29 April1945, afterfivehundred days of combat,he commandedthe American unitwhichseizedHitler’s firstand most notoriousconcentration camp,Dachau, liberating over 32,000 people of over fortynationalities amid scenes, he recalled,“that robbed themindofhuman reason.” Afterone of thelongest andmostdramatic marchestovictory in WWII, he understood andsaw whythe sacrifice of so many of his men—hisregimentalone hadsuffered20,251 casualties—had been necessary. Before toolong, therewill be no living eyewitnesses to theliberation of Hitler’s camps, no more oldmen whorememberthe moment they landed on OmahaBeach on D-Day,no widows whorecall thetruecostofthe warinEuropethatkilled more people more quickly than at anytimeinhistory—morethannineteenmillioncivilians alone. America’sgreatest achievement—the defeatofNazi Europe—will no longerbeanexperience to be recountedby people whowereactuallythere. As with my otherbooks, TheLiberator tries to capturethe voices andemotionsof ordinarypeopleinthe crosshairs of history, at theepicenterofaconflictinwhichthe future of mankinditselfwas astake.Based on interviews with dozensoflivingeyewitnesses, it reveals thefull horror anddebasementofwar,how it corrupts even thenoblestofspirits. Only by understandingthe true nature of thetraumainvolved in defeating Nazism—the so-called “good war”—can we begintoappreciatethe magnitude of what Felix Sparks andhis fellow liberators achieved. He andhis kind defeatedimmense barbarism—a victorywhose significance will still be understood,hopefullythrough books like mine, when thelastoftheir generation has passed away. Alex Kershaw

Once,atthe dawn of averydarktime, an American father anddaughterfound themselves suddenly transportedfromtheir snug home in Chicagotothe heartofHitler’s Berlin. They remained therefor four andahalfyears,but it is their firstyearthatisthe subjectofthe story to follow,for it coincidedwithHitler’s ascentfromchancellortoabsolutetyrant, when everythinghunginthe balance andnothingwas certain. That firstyearformedakindof prologue in whichall thethemesofthe greaterepicofwar andmurder soon to come were laid down. Ihavealwayswondered what it wouldhavebeenlikefor an outsider to have witnessed firsthandthe gatheringdarkofHitler’s rule.How did thecitylook, what did onehear, see, and smell, andhow did diplomatsand othervisitorsinterpret theeventsoccurring around them? Hindsight tellsusthatduringthatfragiletimethe course of historycould so easily have changed. Why, then, did no onechange it?Why did it take so long to recognize thereal dangerposed by Hitler andhis regime? Like most people,Iacquired my initial senseofthe era from books andphotographs that leftmewiththe impressionthatthe worldofthenhad no color, only gradients of gray and black. My twomainprotagonists, however, encounteredthe flesh-and-blood reality, whilealso managing theroutine obligationsofdaily life. Everymorningtheymoved throughacityhung with immense bannersofred,white, andblack;theysat at thesameoutdoor cafésasdid the lean,black-suitedmembers of Hitler’s SS, andnow andthentheycaughtsight of Hitler himself,asmallishman in alarge,openMercedes. Buttheyalsowalked each daypasthomes with balconies lush with redgeraniums; they shopped in thecity’svastdepartmentstores, held teaparties, andbreatheddeepthe spring fragrances of theTiergarten, Berlin’s main park. They knew Goebbels andGöringassocialacquaintances with whom they dined,danced, and joked—until,astheir firstyearreached itsend,anevent occurred that proved to be oneofthe most significantinrevealingthe true characterofHitler andthatlaidthe keystone forthe decade to come.For both father anddaughteritchangedeverything. Thisisaworkofnonfiction. As always, anymaterialbetween quotationmarks comes from aletter, diary, memoir,orother historical document.Imade no effort in thesepages to writeanother grandhistory of theage.Myobjective wasmoreintimate: to reveal that past worldthrough theexperience andperceptionsofmytwo primarysubjects, father and daughter,who upon arrivalinBerlin embarked on ajourney of discovery, transformation, and, ultimately,deepest heartbreak. Thereare no heroes here,atleast notofthe Schindler’sList variety, butthere areglimmers of heroismand people whobehavewithunexpectedgrace.Alwaysthere is nuance,albeit sometimesofadisturbingnature. That’s thetrouble with nonfiction.One has to putaside what we all know—now—tobetrue, andtry insteadtoaccompanymytwo innocents through theworld as they experiencedit. Thesewerecomplicated people moving throughacomplicated time,beforethe monsters declared their true nature.

Like so many othermodernAmericans,theyhavecometo regard theCivil Warasadramaticconflictinmilitaryterms,one filled with derring-do and pathos, butone withoutmuchlargermeaningorimport. They aretherefore surprisedtolearn notonlythatslavery broughtonthe CivilWar butalsowhy andhow thedefense of the national Unionled to slavery’sdestruction.Aswenow observethe 150thanniversaries of the CivilWar andthe Emancipation Proclamation,these questionsare in thepublic view more than at anytimeinthe recentpast. Iwrote TheFallofthe HouseofDixie in part to clarify thosesubjects andtoplace them wheretheybelong—atthe centerofthe CivilWar narrative. In 1860–61, leadersofboththe Unionand theConfederacyknewand said that it was preciselythe sharpeningdispute over slavery’sfuturethatwas leadingmostslave states to try to breakfrom(andsobreak up)the U.S., initiatingthe bloodiestwar in thenation’shistory to accomplish that goal.Inhis inauguraladdress, “One sectionofour countrybelievesslavery is right, andought to be extended,”Abraham Lincolnnoted,“whilethe otherbelievesitis wrong, andought nottobeextended. Thisisthe only substantialdispute.”The Confederacy’s secretaryofstate agreed.Southernwhiteshad decided, he wrote, that theswift growth of the anti-slavery Republican Partythreatened“to destroy their social system.”“With interestsof such overwhelmingmagnitude imperiled,”Jefferson Davisexplained,“thepeopleofthe Southern States were driven ...tothe adoptionofsomecourseofactiontoavert thedanger.” If thepreservationof“thoseinterests”and that “socialsystem” required war, Confederates added, so be it. Butthatwar yieldedresults drasticallydifferent from thoseits leadersintended. ’sUniongovernmentinitiallyhoped to quellthe rebellionquicklyand withoutlaying handsonthe institutionofslavery.But what theformerslave andabolitionistleader called “the inexorable logic of events”eventuallycompelled achange of course.The logic of thesituation taught Lincolnand hisparty that military victoryrequired an attack on slaveryand therecruitment of former slaves as laborers andthenassoldiersinthe Union cause. Andinthe event, as Lincolnnoted repeatedly, theactiveaid of almost 200,000 black soldiersand sailorsprovedcrucial to therebellion’sdefeat. Theemancipationand recruitment of thesepeople, Lincolnexplained,was “the only”policythatcould “can or couldsavethe Union. Anysubstantial departure from it insuresthe successofthe rebellion.” Thiswar-spawned dynamic ultimately ledtothe constitutional liberation of all slaves living anywhere in theUnitedStatesand to theoutlawing of slaveryper se as an institution. Thus,aconflictthatslave owners initiated to preserve slaveryultimatelyabolisheditfar earlier andmoreradicallythancould have occurred otherwise. That waralsowiped outmuchofthe Southern elite’swealthand brokeits once-powerfulgriponnationalgovernment. This fundamentaltransformationofsocialand politicalreality represented(as many at thetime recognized) asecondAmericanrevolution. Thestory of howthatoccurredmustformakey buildingblock of anyrealunderstandingofthiscountry’s history.

“Why areweinVietnam?”The question resoundedindormrooms and lecturehallsand student centers on America’scollegecampusesinthe late 1960s. It sparkedheateddebates at dinner tables in the nation’s homes. Norman Mailer made it thetitle of an iconic novelin1967. Andinasense thequestion neverwentaway, even as it wasaltered to thepasttense afterthe signingofthe ParisPeace Accordsin 1973. It nowbecame“WhywereweinVietnam?”and in short order it came dominatemuchofthe writingabout thewar by journalists, memoirists, andhistorians. Andnowonder it did so,giventhe war’sdeepand continuingresonance in Americanpolitics and culture. TheinterventioninVietnamhas been called thedefiningexperience of thesecondhalfofthe twentiethcentury forAmericans,and it’s arguably thelongest andbloodiestconflictinpost-1945 world affairs, killingperhaps threemillionand more than 58,000 Americans. It also wreakedvastdestruction on huge portions of Vietnam, Laos, andCambodia. Thelargeand growingliterature on theconflictcontainsacurious feature. In their rush to analyze “A merica’s war,”mostauthors have givenremarkably short shrift to theFrenchwar that came before it. Thisisunfortunate, forcloseattention to that earlier historyisimperative if we aretounderstandwhy theUnitedStatesended up in this farawayplace,7,000 miles from thecoast of California, aplace many Americans did notknowexisted. It is imperative if we arecomprehend whythe United States, borneout of an anticolonial reaction againstBritain, opted to back France in acolonialwar againstHoChi Minh’s revolutionary nationalistforces, andthen, once that effort endedindefeat, chosetotry to succeed wherethe French hadfailed. It turnsout that theSecondWorld Warand theFrenchIndochinaWar that followed were absolutelycrucial to all that wouldhappenlater in theVietnam. Norisitmerelyasaprelude to America’sVietnamdebacle that theearlier period merits our attention. Straddlingasitdid thetwentiethcentury’s midpoint, theFrenchIndochinaWar satatthe intersection of thegrand politicalforces that droveworld affairsduringthe century.ThusIndochina’s experience between1945 and1954 is intimately boundupwiththe transformative effectsofthe Second WorldWar andthe outbreak andescalationofthe Cold Warand,inparticular, with theemergenceof theUnitedStatesasthe predominantpower in Asianand worldaffairs. Andthusthe struggleisalsopartofthe storyofEuropeancolonialism andits encounterwith anticolonial nationalists—who drew their inspiration in part from European andAmericanideas and promises. In this way, theFrenchIndochinaWar wassimultaneouslyanEast-Westand North-South conflict, pitting European imperialisminits twilight phaseagainst thetwo main competitorsthat gained momentum by mid century:Communist-inspired revolutionary nationalismand U.S.-backed liberalinternationalism. If similarprocessesplayedout around much of theworld after1945, Vietnam deservesspecial studybecause it wasone of thefirst places wherethisdestructive dynamic couldbe seen. It wasalsowhere thedynamic remained in place,decade afterbloodydecade.

16 www.randomhouse.com/academic Excerptfrom Thomas Jefferson: The ArtofPower

To hisfriends,who were numerous anddevoted,Jefferson wasamong thegreatestmen whohad ever lived, aRenaissance figurewho wasformidable withoutseemingoverbearing, sparklingwithout beingshowy,winningwithout appearingcloying.

Yettohis foes, whowerenumerousand prolific, Jeffersonwas an atheistand afanatic, a demagogue andadreamer,awomanly Francophilewho couldnot be trustedwiththe government of agreat nation.His task wastochange thoseviews as best he could. He longed foraffection andfor approval.

Amasterofemotional andpolitical manipulation,sensitive to criticism, obsessed with his reputation,and devotedtoAmerica,hewas drawn to theworld beyond Monticello, endlessly at work,asheput it,“to seethe standard of reason at lengtherected aftersomanyagesduring whichthe humanmindhas been heldinvassalage by kings, priests, andnobles.”Asaplanter, lawyer,legislator, governor,diplomat, secretaryofstate, vice president, andpresident, Jefferson spentmuchofhis lifeseeking controloverhimself andpower over thelives anddestinies of others.For Jefferson, politics wasnot adispiriting distraction butanundertaking that made everythingelsepossible.

Inspired by hisown father’s example,helongsoughttoplaythe part of apatriarch, accepting—evenembracing—the accompanying burdensofresponsibility. He wasthe father of theideal of individual liberty, of theLouisiana Purchase, of theLewis andClark expedition, of theAmericanWest. He ledthe firstdemocraticmovementinthe newrepublic to checkthe powerand influence of establishedforces. Andperhaps most important, he gave thenationthe ideaofAmericanprogress—the animatingspiritthatthe future couldbebetterthanthe presentorthe past.

ThegreatestAmericanpoliticianssince have prosperedbyprojecting aJeffersonianvision that thecountry’s finest hourslay ahead. Thestory of Jefferson’slifefascinates still in part becausehefound themeans to endure and, in many cases, to prevailinthe face of extreme partisanship,economic uncertainty,and externalthreat. Jefferson’spolitical leadership is instructive, offering us theexample of apresidentwho canoperate at twolevels, cultivating thehopeofabrighterfuturewhile preserving thepolitical flexibility andskill to bringthe ideal as closeaspossibletoreality.

Ifumbled my wayintodisabilityhistory by accidentoveradecade agowhenIran acrossa politicalspeechofHelen Keller’s.Doing so transformedmybasic understandings of U.S. history—makingmeabetterteacher,scholar,and historian. My hope forthisbookisthatitwill provide newdirectionsfromwhichtoexaminethe difficult questionsabout theAmericanpast. Whichpeoples andwhichbodies have been considered fitand appropriatefor public lifeand active citizenship?How have people with disabilities forgedtheir ownlives, their owncommunities, andshapedthe United States? How has disability affected law, policy, economics, play,nationalidentity,and dailylife? In what ways has disability woventogetherwithrace,class,gender,and sexualitytoformand alter national powerstructures? Theanswers to thesequestionsrevealatremendousamountabout us as anation. Disability mattersinour national storybecause it forces consideration of thestrengths, weaknesses, andcontradictionsofAmericanideals. Taking note of race,class,and gender, scholars have examined thehistoricalexpansionofdemocracy. It is time to do thesamefor disability.Disabilityisnot thestory of someoneelse. It is ourstory,the storyofsomeone we love,the storyofwho we areormay become,and it is undoubtedlythe storyofour nation.It is,quite simply,the American storyinall of itscomplexities.

I’ve always lovedexploring history.It’slikeanuncharted hemisphere,and when youlookatit closely, it has atendency to changeeverythingabout your owntime. I’malsodrawn to outsiders, people whohaveswum againstthe tide.Ioften feel like akindofdetective hired to go find people whohave been losttohistory,and discover whytheywerelost. Whodunnit? In this case,Ifound solid evidence that,ofall people,Napoleondid it:heburiedthe memory of this greatman—Gen. ,the sonofablack slavewho ledmorethan50,000 menatthe height of theFrenchRevolutionand then stood up to themegalomaniacal Corsican in thedeserts of Egypt. (The“famous”Alexandre Dumas is thegeneral’sson—the author of TheThree Musketeers.) Lettersand eyewitness accounts showthatNapoleoncametohateDumas notonlyfor hisstubborn defense of principlebut also forhis swagger andstature—oversix feet talland handsomeasamatinee idol—and forthe factthathewas ablack manidolizedbythe whiteFrencharmy. (I foundthat ’s destruction of Dumas coincidedwithhis destruction of oneofthe greatest accomplishments of theFrenchRevolution—racial equality—a legacyhealsodid hisbesttobury.) Ifirst came acrossGen. Dumas’s lifeinthe memoir of hisson Alexandre,the novelist.And what a life! Alex Dumas,ashepreferred to be known, wasborninSaint Domingue,later Haiti, theson of a blackslave andagood-for-nothingFrencharistocratwho came to theislands to make aquickkilling andinstead barely survived. In fact, to getbacktoFranceinorder to claimaninheritance,heactually “pawned” hisblack sonintoslavery,but then he bought him out,brought him to Paris, andenrolled him in theroyal fencingacademy, andthenthe storybeginstoget interesting. What reallystuck with me from readingthe memoir wasthe love that shows throughfrom theson, thewriter, forhis father,the soldier.Icould neverforgetthe novelist describingthe dayhis father died. Hismothermet him on thestairsintheir house, lugging hisfather’sgun over hisshoulders, andasked him what he wasdoing.LittleAlexandre replied: “I’m goingtoheaventokill God—for killingdaddy.” When he grew up,hetookagreater sort of revenge,infusinghis father’s lifeand spirit into fictional characters like Edmond Dantes andD’A rtagnan, with shades of Porthos, too. Butthe imageofthe angry childstuck with me anddrove me onward to discover everyscrapofevidence Icould about his forgotten father.

Iwas at an impressionableage when therevolutions came.Thisisthe short answer Ioften give when askedbyPoles or CzechsorRussians whyIbecameinterestedintheir part of theworld.In1989, I wasseventeen yearsold andknewnothingabout Eastern Europe.Yet growingupinsuburban Pennsylvania,itwas impossible nottoabsorbthatwewerelockedinastrugglewiththe Evil Empire that might well bringabout theend of theworld. Andthenone dayitwas over.Soonpieces of theBerlin Wall were forsaleatthe localmall.For me, thedrama of 1989 wasthe openingofapartofthe worldthathad been seeminglyclosed forever. Iwas seducedbythissudden opening, personifiedinthe fairytaleofthe VelvetRevolutionin Czechoslovakia,ofthe imprisoned playwright whobecameaphilosopher-president. Iwantedtogotothatplace wheremagical things happen. Iwantedtogowhere therewas ahappy ending. Yetfairy tales inevitablyhavetheir darker sides. When Icametoliveinpost-communist EasternEurope, Isaw that noteveryonewas living happily ever after. Andthiswas so notonlybecause prices were risingdrasticallywhile wagesand pensions remained very low. Therewas much more that wastormenting. ForFreud,the unconscious waslikeadarkpsychic closet in whicheverythingtoo disturbingfor ourconscious minds washidden. Freud hadnoillusions that openingthatdarkpsychic closet wouldbe pleasant.For decades, thecommunist archives hadplayedthe role of theFreudian unconscious. “A specterishauntingEurope—the specterofcommunism,”KarlMarxbegan TheCommunist Manifesto.Marx, themilitantmaterialist,openedhis most famous text by confessingtohis own metaphysical moment.Now,inEastern Europe in the1990s, Icametounderstandthatcommunism, once a“spectertocome,”was farmore haunting as aspecter from thepast. In researchingmydissertationabout Polish avant-gardepoets whobecamecommunists(theshort versionoftheir story is that it ended very,verybadly forall of them), Ispent all toldseveralyears in former communist Europe.Idug throughseventeen archives in five countries. Iencountered the friends andenemies—attimes thechildren andgrandchildren—ofmyprotagonists. AndIbegan keepingajournal with notesonall of thestories that were toopersonaltogointoastrictly scholarly book. Thebookthatgrewfrom thosenotes is about thedarkerside of thefall of communism. It is abook about what we,who did notlive there, did notunderstand. It is abookattesting to Hegel’sinsistence that actionsinevitably have consequences that exceed their intentions.The post-communist moment has illuminated painfullythe omnipresenceofguilt:after 1989, people hadtoaccountfor choices they made,often in extreme moments, in aworld in whichall therules hadsuddenly changed. Thisisalsoabookabout what it meanstostudy history. To go into thearchivesinsearchoftruth is to read letters nevermeant foryou to read.Understandingthe past demands an empathythatcan never be innocent. In this bookItry to make thereader feel theethical dilemmas of thehistoricalprocess: the risk of moralrelativismthatcomes with thestriving forempathy,and thevoyeurismofreadingpages in thelivesofothers.

Among otherthings, my bookdocuments theaccidental beginnings of the401(k) plan,with disastrous economic consequences formillions of Americans; themajor policychangesthatbegan under JimmyCarter(before Ronald Reagan); howthe NewEconomy disruptedAmerica’s engine of shared prosperity, the“virtuous circle” of growth;and howAmerica lostthe titleof“Land of Opportunity.” Idescribethe transferof$6trillioninmiddle-class wealth from homeowners to banks before thehousingboomwentbust, andhow theU.S. policytiltfavoringthe rich is stunting America’s economic growth.Ishowhow pivotalpolicies were alteredwhile thepublic wasn’t looking, how Congress has oftenignoredpublic opinion, howAmerica has lostthe vital moderate centerinpolitics, andhow Wall Street has forgedasymbiotic connection with Washington. In lectures, my goal is to connectwithcollegestudents. On two- or three-day campus residencies, I have enjoyedmeeting with classesand studentgroups, leadingdiscussions,enjoyinggive-and-take, sharing my reportingand lifeexperience,evenanswering questionsabout career advice.These visits constitute my most rewardingexperiences touringfor thebook. Ilookforward to theopportunity to visityourcampus, andtoconnect with your students. HedrickSmith
