Eines der besten Geschichtsbücher die ich in den letzten Jahren gelesen habe, stilistisch ein Genuss und inhaltlich eine lehrreiche Lektüre. Jähners Augenmerk auf sonst vernachlässigten geschichtlichen Aspekte wie Magazine für Frauen und Untergrundtheater haben zu Folge, dass nicht nur diverse Klischees über die Nachkriegszeit über Bord gewerfen werden, sondern auch, dass die Lektüre echten Genuss bereitet und ungemein fesselnd ist.

What an interesting novel! Documenting the years from 1945-1955 in Germany, Aftermath looks at how politics, pop culture, economics and other elements of society developed post-war. Written in an incredibly accessible way, I found myself enjoying what I was reading. Historial non-fictions can sometimes feel like a bore, but Jähner makes the history easy to understand, whilst also explaining everything in a logical way. I particularly enjoyed the way he focused on singular stories or people to further explain his point or that moment in history. Some chapters were stronger than others, but overall it read well and I feel more informed having finished it, than I did before.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for kindly providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review. #Aftermath #NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
