Book Description
Excerpt from The King's Council in the North A few words of explanation on one or two points seem called for. Especially, it seems necessary to explain why so much political history has been included in a work dealing primarily with a law-court. This is due to the dual character of the Council in the North, its administrative responsibility constantly leading to an extension of its judicial powers, and resentment at its governmental action as constantly finding expression in opposition to its judicial authority. Some reference to the political history of the North during the period of the Council's existence was therefore necessary. Unfortunately, the standard works dealing with the period seldom do more than refer to events in the North, and usually the references are derived from Chronicles and other secondary authorities. My own researches having convinced me that these authorities are not always to be trusted, I was faced with these alternatives: either to write a history of the Council as a law-court with references to political history which must appear dogmatic because they implied views differing in many ways from those generally received, which yet were not supported by a reasoned statement of the evidence; or to write an account of the political history of the North during the period under consideration as well as an account of the Council itself. At first I chose the former alternative, and it was a history of the Council as a law-court that I submitted to the University of London for the degree of Doctor of Literature in 1911.

Book Description
For many years, the history of Byelorussia under Nazi occupation was written primarily from the perspective of the resistance movement. This movement, a reaction to the brutal occupation policies, was very strong indeed. Still, as the author shows, there existed in Byelorussia a whole web of local institutions and organizations which, some willingly, others with reservations, participated in the implementation of various aspects of occupation policies. The very sensitivity of the topic of collaboration has prevented researchers from approaching it for many years, not least because in the former Soviet territories ideological considerations have played an important role in preserving the topic’s “untouchable” status. Focusing on the attitude of German authorities toward the Byelorussians, marked by their anti-Slavic and particularly anti-Byelorussian prejudices on the one hand and the motives of Byelorussian collaborators on the other, the author clearly shows that notwithstanding the postwar trend to marginalize the phenomenon of collaboration or to silence it altogether, the local collaboration in Byelorussia was clearly visible and pervaded all spheres of life under the occupation.
