"This study in the ethics of war is the only work to focus on the moral dilemmas of resistance and collaboration in Nazi-occupied Europe. It presents a comprehensive guide to the harrowing ethical choices that confronted resisters, community leaders and ordinary citizens in Hitler's Europe and includes a detailed discussion of Jewish responses to Nazi rule. Bennett explores how resistance movements responded to brutal Nazi policies based on the doctrine of collective responsibility in which entire populations paid the price for the actions of a few determined rebels. Bennett offers a critique of morally questionable methods of resistance such as torture, the mutilation and killing of German prisoners of war, and guerrilla warfare."--BOOK JACKET.
