Book excerpt: 6 June, 1944: a vast armada stands off the coast of Normandy; in the pre-dawn gloom gliders carrying British airborne troops approach their target. The first shots are about to be fired in 'the Great Crusade' to free Europe from Nazi occupation and thousands of troops will fight their way ashore in the teeth of deadly machine-gun and artillery fire from the German defenders. D-Day is about to begin. The Normandy landings are brought alive in this electrifying graphic novel that tells the story of that Longest Day through the eyes of the men who were there. Discover an epic struggle as the Allies sought to overwhelm the German defenders by land, sea and air, who in turn battled desperately to drive the invasion back into the sea. Covering the full range of events from the earliest airborne assault through the struggle on the beaches and the desperate effort to establish a bridgehead inland, D-Day blends an authentic historical narrative with master illustration to reveal the full story of the day that changed the course of World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few of the fortifications and fortified lines of the world wars are well known and have often been written about, illustrated and studied. But they tend to distract attention from the wide range of fixed defenses constructed across Europe on an enormous scale after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, during a period of insecurity and aggression. That is why this new, highly illustrated study, which covers the entire continent, is so valuable. The authors examine the major fortified positions and describe their strategic purpose, their design and construction, and the role they played in military planning and operations. The outstanding contribution of the major military architects of the time is a key theme. The work of Séré de Rivières, Brialmont and others had a major influence on the course of the First World War and on the fortifications built before and during the Second World War. Their approach is visible in the designs for the Maginot Line, the East and West walls of Germany, the Vallo Alpino in Italy, the Soviet Stalin and Molotov lines, the Mannerheim and Salpa lines of Finland, the Greek Metaxas Line, the Beneš Line of Czechoslovakia as well as the defenses built by the Dutch and Scandinavians. The breadth of the coverage, the degree of detail and the numerous illustrations make the book essential reading and reference for anyone who has a special interest in the world wars and the history of fortifications.

Download or read book Walling, Boundaries and Liminality written by Agnes Horvath and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary challenges related to walls, borders and encirclement, such as migration, integration and endemic historical conflicts, can only be understood properly from a long-term perspective. This book seeks to go beyond conventional definitions of the long durée by locating the social practice of walling and encirclement in the broadest context of human history, integrating insights from archaeology and anthropology. Such an approach, far from being simply academic, has crucial contemporary relevance, as its focus on origins helps to locate the essential dynamics of this practice, and provides a rare external position from which to view the phenomenon as a transformative exercise, with the area walled serving as an artificial womb or matrix. The modern world, with its ingrained ideas of borders, nation states and other entities, often makes it is very difficult to gain a critical distance and detachment to see beyond conventional perspectives. The unique approach of this book offers an antidote to this problem. Cases discussed in the book range from Palaeolithic caves, the ancient walls of Göbekli Tepe, Jericho and Babylon, to the foundation of Rome, the Chinese Empire, medieval Europe and the Berlin Wall. The book also looks at contemporary developments such as the Palestinian wall, Eastern and Southern European examples, Trump’s proposed Mexican wall, the use of Greece as a bulwark containing migration flows and the transformative experience of voluntary work in a Calcutta hospice. In doing so, the book offers a political anthropology of one of the most fundamental yet perennially problematic human practices: the constructing of walls. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology and political theory.

Download or read book Royal Navy Handbook 1939-1945 written by David Wragg and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2005-08-25 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overstretched from the start of the Second World War in 1939, the Royal Navy acquired First World War surplus destroyers from the United States Navy and embarked on a massive programme of construction, building and buying aircraft carriers, escort carriers and frigates and corvettes, building up a powerful submarine arm and, almost from scratch, re-creating the naval air arm taken from it in 1918. The service had to learn fast. It soon became clear that the Germans would not provide an opportunity for a major battleship to battleship fleet action along the lines of Jutland, but that submarine warfare and surface raiders were to be just as effective at undermining the British war effort. The Royal Navy was expected to be active in the North Atlantic and in British waters, and then after the Soviet Union was invaded by Germany, it had to protect the Arctic convoys. Meanwhile, it also had to keep control of the Mediterranean, alone after the fall of France, supporting ground forces in North Africa and then in Greece, send convoys to Malta and disrupt the Axis supply lines both in the Mediterranean and off the coast of Norway, and then it had to face the Japanese in the Far East. By the war's end the Royal Navy had grown from its pre-war strength of 129,000 to 863,000 men. Its fleet had also grown from 12 to 61 battleships and cruisers, seven to 59 aircraft carriers, and 100 to 846 destroyers, by 1945.

Book excerpt: The year is 1944. Fortress Europe is being assailed from everywhere. After the years of conquests and victories, the Axis is now hard-pressed from everywhere. On the Eastern Front, the war is raging as violently as before. The Soviets are on the offensive. The masses of Red Army soldiers and tanks threatens to overwhelm the German conquerors. 1943 ended with the Axis forces reeling back across the whole frontline, and now the Russians seek to give the killing blow to the Wehrmacht. In Africa, the Allies have pushed the Germano-Italian forces to their last redoubt in Libya, but the Mareth line will prove a formidable obstacle for Patton's 7th army. In Spain and Portugal, battle will soon be joined as the Allies are about to land in force and try to pry open the Mediterranean Sea entrance.In North-Western Europe, the 1943 year ended with the Allies sole masters of the North Atlantic, and they are now poised to land in force in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Germany, out of troops and resources to defend their British conquest, will have to choose. Defend or retreat.In the Pacific, the Japanese, now outnumbered and outmatched in ships, airplanes, and logistics will have to fight hard to block the American advance. With the liberation of Oahu and the rebuilding of their great Pearl Harbor base, the USA is ready to send its enormous armada toward the rest of the Pacific. The future is bleak for Imperial Japan.But there is still hope for the Axis. New weapons are coming operational that could swing the balance once more in favor of the Germans. Jet planes, invincible tanks, even missiles are about to get to the battlefield, to the Allies great dismay.With the unlimited resources of its oil conquests and extensive, untouched industrial infrastructure, Germany can still win the day.This is the story of the Second World War.
