This book was released on 1993 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En ces dernières années du XXe siècle, d'immenses bouleversements viennent de se dérouler sous nos yeux : la réunification de l'Allemagne, l'effondrement du communisme dans l'ancien empire soviétique, la conquête de l'indépendance des pays qui lui étaient assujettis, principalement en Europe de l'Est. A ces événements majeurs s'en ajoutent d'autres : les conséquences multiples de la décolonisation, l'importance croissante du Tiers-Monde, l'expansionnisme économique japonais, les crises et les déchirements successifs du Proche-Orient, les conflits meurtriers opposant les différentes ethnies rivales de l'ancienne Yougoslavie. Or, toutes ces réalités découlent d'une même et unique origine : la Seconde Guerre mondiale. C'est pourquoi Pierre Montagon, convaincu que l'histoire de ce gigantesque conflit éclaire plus que jamais le présent et notre proche avenir, s'attache aujourd'hui à faire revivre, année par année, sur tous les théâtres d'opération du monde, les engagements militaires et politiques qui aboutirent en 1945 à l'écrasement définitif des forces de l'Axe. De l'émergence du nazisme à l'Armistice de 1940, de la bataille d'Angleterre à l'invasion de la Russie, de Pearl Harbor à El-Alamein, de Stalingrad au débarquement de Normandie, de Guadalcanal à Hiroshima, voici la fresque monumentale de ces années terribles reconstituées chronologiquement dans leur contexte politique et géographique. Une somme historique impressionnante, scrupuleusement documentée, proposant pour la première fois, dans une suite de volumes exhaustifs, une vision globale et approfondie de six années de guerre qui n'en finissent pas d'influer sur le cours de l'Histoire.

Book Synopsis The Miracle Years by : Hanna Schissler
Download or read book The Miracle Years written by Hanna Schissler and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stereotypical descriptions showcase West Germany as an "economic miracle" or cast it in the narrow terms of Cold War politics. Such depictions neglect how material hardship preceded success and how a fascist past and communist sibling complicated the country's image as a bastion of democracy. Even more disappointing, they brush over a rich and variegated cultural history. That history is told here by leading scholars of German history, literature, and film in what is destined to become the volume on postwar West German culture and society. In it, we read about the lives of real people--from German children fathered by black Occupation soldiers to communist activists, from surviving Jews to Turkish "guest" workers, from young hoodlums to middle-class mothers. We learn how they experienced and represented the institutions and social forces that shaped their lives and defined the wider culture. We see how two generations of West Germans came to terms not only with war guilt, division from East Germany, and the Angst of nuclear threat, but also with changing gender relations, the Americanization of popular culture, and the rise of conspicuous consumption. Individually, these essays peer into fascinating, overlooked corners of German life. Together, they tell what it really meant to live in West Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to the editor, the contributors are Volker R. Berghahn, Frank Biess, Heide Fehrenbach, Michael Geyer, Elizabeth Heineman, Ulrich Herbert, Maria Höhn, Karin Hunn, Kaspar Maase, Richard McCormick, Robert G. Moeller, Lutz Niethammer, Uta G.

Download or read book Fire and Fury written by Randall Hansen and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Bestseller An enlightening and utterly convincing re-examination of the allied aerial bombing campaign and of civilian German suffering during World War II–an essential addition to our understanding of world history. During the Second World War, Allied air forces dropped nearly two million tons of bombs on Germany, destroying some 60 cities, killing more than half a million German citizens, and leaving 80,000 pilots dead. Much of the bombing was carried out against the expressed demands of the Allied military leadership. Hundreds of thousands of people died needlessly. Focusing on the crucial period from 1942 to 1945, and using a compelling narrative approach, Fire and Fury tells the story of the American and British bombing campaign through the eyes of those involved: military and civilian command in America, Britain, and Germany, aircrew in the sky, and civilians on the ground. Acclaimed historian Randall Hansen shows that the Commander-in-Chief of Bomber Command, Arthur Harris, was wedded to an outdated strategy whose success had never been proven; how area bombing not only failed to win the war, it probably prolonged it; and that the US campaign, which was driven by a particularly American fusion of optimism and morality, played an important and largely unrecognized role in delivering Allied victory.

Book Synopsis Italy In The Second World War: Memories And Documents by : Marshal Pietro Badoglio
Download or read book Italy In The Second World War: Memories And Documents written by Marshal Pietro Badoglio and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marshal Pietro Badolgio was involved in the highest levels of the Italian political hierarchy ever since his early successes in the First World War, for which he was promoted General. He was head of the Italian Armed Forces from 1925 to 1940, and did his best to raise the military to a level that might match the expansionist views of Mussolini. He presided over the brutal invasion of Ethiopia, but nationally he acted as a counter-balance to Mussolini’s pre-World War II schemes. Unable to stop the inevitable disaster following the Italian-German Pact of Steel and the onset of war, he resigned as Chief Of Staff after the humiliating reverses of the Italian invasion of Greece. He was brought back into the political spotlight in 1943, after the fall of Mussolini, and was named Prime Minister of Italy during the turbulent months of their volte face change of sides. His position was unenviable, caught between the Italian people who cried out for peace and the Allied powers who pursued German defeat in Italy by armed force. In this fascinating book he recounts his memories and recollections of Italy during the Second World War, particularly focussed on his attempts to hold the country together in 1943 and 1944.
Book Synopsis Swastika over the Acropolis by : Craig Stockings
Download or read book Swastika over the Acropolis written by Craig Stockings and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swastika over the Acropolis is a new, multi-national account which provides a new and compelling interpretation of the Greek campaign of 1941, and its place in the history of World War II. It overturns many previously accepted English-language assumptions about the fighting in Greece in April 1941 – including, for example, the impact usually ascribed to the Luftwaffe, German armour and the conduct of the Greek Army Further, Swastika over the Acropolis demonstrates that this last complete strategic victory by Nazi Germany in World War II is set against a British-Dominion campaign mounted as a withdrawal, not an attempt to ‘save’ Greece from invasion and occupation. At the same time, on the German side, the campaign revealed serious and systemic weaknesses in the planning and the conduct of large-scale operations that would play a significant role in the regime’s later defeats.
Book Synopsis A Military History of Canada by : Desmond Morton
Download or read book A Military History of Canada written by Desmond Morton and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Canada really "a peaceable kingdom" with "an unmilitary people"? Desmond Morton says no. This is a country that has been shaped, divided, and transformed by war - there is no greater influence in Canadian history, recent or remote. Through the Cold War, the Gulf War, and after, Canadians had to make difficult decisions about defence and foreign policy, and these events have shaped the country, developing our industries, changing the role of women, realigning our political factions, and changing Canada's status in the world.
Book Synopsis Hitler's Italian Allies by : MacGregor Knox
Download or read book Hitler's Italian Allies written by MacGregor Knox and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascist Italy's ultimate defeat was foreordained. It was a pygmy among giants, and Hitler's failure to destroy the Soviet Union in 1941 doomed all three Axis powers. But Italy's defeat was unique; the only asset that it conquered - briefly - with its own unaided forces in the entire Second World War was a dusty and useless corner of Africa, British Somaliland. And Italy's forces dissolved in 1943 almost without resistance, in stark contrast to the grim fight to the last cartridge of Hitler's army or the fanatical faithfulness unto death of the troops of Imperial Japan. This book tries to understand why the Italian armed forces and Fascist regime were so remarkably ineffective at an activity - war - central to their existence. It approaches the issue above all from the perspective of military culture, through analysis of the services' failure to imagine modern warfare and through a topical structure that offers a social-cultural, political, military-economic, strategic, operational, and tactical cross-section of the war effort.
Book Synopsis The Air War, 1939-1945 by : Richard J. Overy
Download or read book The Air War, 1939-1945 written by Richard J. Overy and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air War, 1939-1945 was first written in the late 1970s when there was very little academic interest in the history of air power. What there was focused largely on combat. The book was intended to provide a global history of the air war by looking at combat, but also the broader context of technology, production, intelligence and leadership. The book sought to address the question of why the Allies in the end won decisively the war in the air, and concluded that Axis air forces were too tied to a narrow conception of air power attached to surface forces, rather than air power exercised in a broader framework of air defense, logistics, strategic bombing and technological development. The book has been assigned reading in military and air force academies for the past forty years. “The Air War, 1939-1945... immediately and permanently altered the way that historians have examined the nature of aerial warfare during World War II. Overy’s ingenious examination of the global nature of planning, building, deploying, and utilizing air forces remains the finest overall study of the topic more than a quarter-century after its first publication... conclusions drawn in this work... are even today an integral part of U.S. Air Force doctrine.” — Dik A. Daso, US Air Force Chief of Staff’s Reading List “This is an outstanding book on a subject in which past controversy has often generated more heat than light... The strength of the book is... Overy’s masterly discussion of the economic problems of sustaining air forces in war and of hitting the right balance between quantity production of current models and diversion of resources to research and technical innovation... Truly this is a book that deserves attention from all those who wish to study, and learn from, the history of warfare.” — G. C. Peden, Naval War College Review “[T]ightly written... The Air War, 1939-1945 is essential reading for all military historians.” — James J. Hudson, Military Affairs “[O]ne of the best books on aviation in World War II.” — Kenneth P. Werrell, Air Power History “An important and successful book.” — The Economist “Highly effective. The result, as so often with sound scholarship, is the ruthless dispelling of myths.” — A. J. P. Taylor, author of The Origins of the Second World War “The Air War is... an excellent and stimulating book which both needs and deserves slow and careful reading. It is an ambitious book, too, and Dr. Overy should be congratulated for breaking down national histories in writing his history of air power during the Second World War.” — Malcolm Smith, The International History Review “[A] recognized classic.” — Richard B. Frank, The Journal of American History “Originally published in 1980 and still the best one-volume aerial history of World War II, Richard Overy’s classic work remains profound and highly original... [it] deepens our understanding not only of World War II but of military history in general.” — The SHAFR Guide Online “[A]n outstanding book... The Air War is a serious and profound treatise that analyses those various military and civilian themes which, in combination, determined the nature of the struggle in the air during the Second World War... The Air War is something of a novelty in aeronautical literature. It is to be hoped that it will serve as a model for other books to come in this important field.” — Alfred Gollin, The English Historical Review “Overy provides operational accounts of the air-forces’ role in Europe... and in the Pacific. Then, and most exceptionally, he deals separately with all facets of the air war: planning, organization, manpower, equipment, and doctrine... honest... broadly informed, and... well-stocked with useful data.“ — Kirkus “R. J. Overy examines the whole war period from the point of view of each of the warring powers and gives us not only a study of military campaigns but also a highly successful examination of aerial doctrine, economic and scientific mobilization, and the political, diplomatic, and military aspects of the management of hostilities. This fine study analyzes the achievements and the failures of the aerial component of the war... This good analysis of many studies done on this subject... makes possible a new, balanced synthesis from an objective point of view.” — Sam H. Frank, The American Historical Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the motives, preparation, objectives, contact and consequences of Italy's war of 1940, which ended the country's role as a great power and reduced it to the status of first among Germany's satellites. What Professor Knox demonstrates is the limits of Mussolini's power. In particular, thanks to exhaustive research in the relevant archives, he has been able to throw important new light on Mussolini's relations with his military advisers and commanders.
Book Synopsis World War II in Europe by : Charles F. Brower, IV
Download or read book World War II in Europe written by Charles F. Brower, IV and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1998-03-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In World War II in Europe: The Final Year, a distinguished group of international scholars reconsiders the important military and political questions relating to the final year of World War II. The essays attack these issues from strategic, operational, tactical and human perspectives, each section balanced by judicious commentary from experts in the field. The volume opens with fresh assessments of the strategic gifts of Roosevelt and Churchill, then goes on to offer analyses of aspects of the operational level of warfare. In one essay David Eisenhower reconsiders the "broad front" strategy employed by his grandfather as Supreme Allied Commander of Europe. Other essays examine such issues as the strategic bombing campaign, Germany’s defensive efforts, the role that considerations of military geography played in military operations in the Netherlands (with special attention on MARKET-GARDEN), and the terribly difficult Canadian operations to clear the "long left flank" of the Allies and to open the Scheldt estuary. The volume concludes with an examination of the human dimension of warfare. First-hand experiences are balanced with historical craft as essayists describe events during the battles against the Germans in the Ardennes and on Walcheren Island, as well as the perspectives of Dutch non-combatants as they adapted to liberation. World War II in Europe provides an unusually balanced set of essays analyzing the war in Europe from D-Day to V-E Day from diverse perspectives. The result is a greater appreciation of the complex challenges faced in bringing that "great" war to conclusion.
