What is it like to live in a country that suffered a monstrous military and moral defeat? "Wolf Time" is a panoramic account of the first decade after World War II, when Germany was emerging from the rubble of Hitler's regime and transforming itself into a modern democracy. The country was divided into occupation zones, cities lay in ruins, and most of the population was homeless. Everything that had previously united people was completely destroyed. Germans were slow to admit their guilt for Nazi crimes—for many, the trauma of the postwar period was worse than the war itself. But the devastation, hunger, and the struggle to survive did not prevent them from falling in love, having fun, and dreaming. It was the time of the wolves, when everyone cared only about themselves and their pack—but also a time of the invention of new politics, new literature, new art, and a new worldview. German journalist Harald Jaehner's book, which became a bestseller in Germany and was translated into six European languages, is a gripping portrait of a society that emerged from a catastrophe and was able to find a path to the future.
