In The Bitter Road to Freedom (Free Press, 2008), Prof. Hitchcock tells a part of the story of World War II that is missing from traditional accounts. Told from the point of view of those who were liberated, the book helps explain why even liberated people, grateful for their freedom, generally do not like their liberators, and why liberation achieved even in the most righteous of wars comes at a dire price.
William I. Hitchcock earned his Ph.D. in history from Yale University, where he taught for six years. He is author of France Restored: Cold War Diplomacy and the Quest for Leadership in Europe (University of North Carolina Press, 1998) and The Struggle for Europe: The Turbulent History of a Divided Continent, 1945–Present (Doubleday, 2005).
