Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational Intelligence Centre was the nerve centre of the British Admiralty in World War II, dedicated to collecting, analyzing and disseminating information from every possible source which could throw light on the intentions and movements of German naval and maritime forces. OIC labored tirelessly, despite early disappointments, to supply the Navy and RAF with the intelligence that would enable them to defeat Hitler and his admirals. Patrick Beesly, an insider drawing on considerable personal knowledge, reveals, in full, the compelling story of OIC. He throws light on dramatic episodes such as the hunt for the Bismarck; the tragedy of Convoy PQ17; the long war against the U-boats; and on many other significant events critical to the course of the war. Very Special Intelligence, here presented with a new Introduction which sets the work in context and takes account of new research, is the fascinating story of an organization which contributed so much to Allied success.

Download or read book The Palgrave Atlas of Byzantine History written by J. Haldon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-10-14 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dominant Mediterranean power in the fifth and sixth centuries, by the time of its demise at the hands of the Ottomans in 1453 the Byzantine empire was a shadow of its former self restricted essentially to the city of Constantinople, modern Istanbul. Surrounded by foes who posed a constant threat to its very existence, it survived because of its administration, army and the strength of its culture, of which Orthodox Christianity was a key element. This historical atlas charts key aspects of the political, social and economic history of a medieval empire which bridged the Christian and Islamic worlds from the late Roman period into the late Middle Ages.
Book Synopsis The British and the Greek Resistance, 1936–1944 by : André Gerolymatos
Download or read book The British and the Greek Resistance, 1936–1944 written by André Gerolymatos and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1941 and 1944, the Germans and the Italians imposed a brutal occupation of Greece. This, as well as the outbreak of famine, drove many Greeks to join a variety of resistance movements in the mountains. The British government anticipated the German occupation of Europe and created the Special Operations Executive (SOE). One directorate of the SOE was responsible for partisan activity in the mountains and another directorate focused on encouraging espionage and sabotage in Greek cities. Over 3000 Greeks and British operated espionage networks that made a significant contribution to the war effort in the Mediterranean. Unfortunately the work of the spy and saboteur working in the shadows remained classified until the end of the twentieth century. The release of SOE documents in the twenty-first century provides an amazing insight into how intelligence operations were a critical part of the Allied victory of the Second World War. The aim of the book is to bring to life the stories of the ghosts of the shadow war.

Book Synopsis In the Shadow of Olympus by : Eugene N. Borza
Download or read book In the Shadow of Olympus written by Eugene N. Borza and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In tracing the emergence of the Macedonian kingdom from its origins as a Balkan backwater to a major European and Asian power, Eugene Borza offers to specialists and lay readers alike a revealing account of a relatively unexplored segment of ancient history. He draws from recent archaeological discoveries and an enhanced understanding of historical geography to form a narrative that provides a material-culture setting for political events. Examining the dynamics of Macedonian relations with the Greek city-states, he suggests that the Macedonians, although they gradually incorporated aspects of Greek culture into their own society, maintained a distinct ethnicity as a Balkan people. "Borza has taken the trouble to know Macedonia: the land, its prehistory, its position in the Balkans, and its turbulent modern history. All contribute...to our understanding of the emergence of Macedon.... Borza has employed two of the historian's most valuable tools, autopsy and common sense, to produce a well-balanced introduction to the state that altered the course of Greek and Near Eastern history."--Waldemar Heckel, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iconoclasm, the debate about the legitimacy of religious art that began in Byzantium around 730 and continued for nearly 120 years, has long held a firm grip on the historical imagination. Byzantium in the Iconoclast Era is the first book in English to survey the original sources crucial for a modern understanding of this most elusive and fascinating period in medieval history. It is also the first book in any language to cover both the written and the visual evidence from this period, a combination of particular importance to the iconoclasm debate. The authors, an art historian and a historian who both specialise in the period, have worked together to provide a comprehensive overview of the visual and the written materials that together help clarify the complex issues of iconoclasm in Byzantium.

Download or read book Room 39 written by Donald McLachlan and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dramatic account of what happened in Room 39 of the British Admiralty shows how Naval Intelligence really worked ; how raw facts were molded into prime orders to ships at sea, how code-breakers pitted their brains against the enemy, and how scholarship was matched against violence, with admirals taking advice from a uniformed barrister. The author, who served on the personal staff of the Director of Naval Intelligence from 1940 to 1945, offers a thorough-going discussion of the principles and philosophies of Naval Intelligence, and explains how these were applied by such brilliant characters as Rear Admiral John Godfrey, its energetic director, and Ian Fleming (later creator of James Bond), his personal assistant, esteemed as skilled trouble-shooter and impresario. Both intimate and authentic, this book beautifully expresses the qualities which made the whole operation so successful - dogged pursuit of detail, objectivity, intuition, showmanship, discretion and forensic talents. --from inside jacket.
