  When Germany surrendered in May 1945 it was a nation reduced to rubble. Immediately,
America, Britain, Soviet Russia, and France set about rebuilding in their zones of occupation. Most urgent were physical
needs--food, water, and sanitation--but from the start the Allies were also anxious to indoctrinate the German people in
the ideas of peace and civilization. Denazification and reeducation would be key to future peace, and the arts were
crucial guides to alternative, less militaristic ways of life. In an extraordinary extension of diplomacy, over the next
four years, many writers, artists, actors, and filmmakers were dispatched by Britain and America to help rebuild the
country their governments had spent years bombing. Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Marlene Dietrich, George Orwell,
Lee Miller, W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Billy Wilder, and others undertook the challenge of reconfiguring German
society. In the end, many of them became disillusioned by the contrast between the destruction they were witnessing and
the cool politics of reconstruction. While they may have had less effect on Germany than Germany had on them, the
experiences of these celebrated figures, never before told, offer an entirely fresh view of post-war Europe. "The Bitter
Taste of Victory" is a brilliant and important addition to the literature of World War II.
  
  
  
  
  
  I am a
literary critic and cultural historian teaching in the English department at King’s College London. I am
fascinated by the relationship between life, literature and history and in my books I attempt to find new ways of
writing that can allow the three to intertwine. My most recent book The Bitter Taste of Victory is an account of the
experiences of twenty of the British and American cultural figures sent in to Germany after the war. Before that I wrote
The Love-charm of Bombs, which is about five writers in London in the Second World War. Both these books move fluidly
between cultural and political history, collective biography and literary criticism while also attempting to create a
narrative that unfolds with drama and suspense. Both books are set in war zones and I am fascinated by the way that war
acts as a catalyst in transforming lives and creating art.
  
  I grew up in London and studied English at
Oxford University, going on to do an MA at University College London and a PhD at the University of Sussex. I have been
teaching at King’s since 2008 and all my books have been in part the result of conversations with colleagues and
students in the English department and the School of Arts and Humanities.
  
  Since 2013, I have been the
recipient of a generous European Research Council Starting Grant, which has brought a team of researchers into
King’s for a project about culture in postwar Germany called Beyond Enemy Lines. I am also the beneficiary of an
immensely supportive Philip Leverhulme Prize, awarded by the Leverhulme trust. At King’s I co-direct the Centre
for Modern Literature and Culture and run the Ivan Juritz Prize for Creative Responses to Modernism.
