In the year that World War II ended, aside from major historical events remembered by posterity, there were many forgotten people and things. The entire Old World had been turned into a pile of rubble. People not only felt the joy of victory, but also experienced repressed human nature and lust, as well as terrible hunger and hearts full of hatred. The book Year Zero: A History of 1945 will take you back to 1945 to see how an entirely new modern world was born from tattered ruins.
The book was written by Ian Buruma, a Dutch scholar who studied at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, majoring in Chinese literature and history . Buruma lived in Asia for many years and mastered six languages: English, German, Dutch, French, Japanese, and Chinese. He later became the Paul W. Williams Professor of Human Rights and Journalism at Bard College in New York . In 2008 he was awarded the Erasmus Award and the Shorenstein Journalism Award. Buruma was also selected as one of the top global thinkers by the magazine Foreign Policy in 2008 and 2010.
