Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «La sera del venticinque luglio sentii il rumore di gente che passava per la strada vociando. Mi affacciai alla finestra e vidi due uomini di mezza età che allargavano le braccia come chi si è tolto un peso di dosso gridando “finalmente!”. Mi precipitai in strada e mi accodai ai molti altri che camminavano gridando. Questo fu il modo in cui appresi la caduta di Mussolini». È davvero una grande fortuna che il più autorevole storico della Resistenza – l’autore di quel libro sulla Guerra civile che ha rappresentato un punto di svolta di tutta la nostra coscienza storica – decida di raccontare la sua esperienza di quegli anni. Ed è veramente una felice coincidenza che le sue memorie di giovane militante antifascista prendano la forma di questo piccolo libro prezioso proprio nel momento in cui ricorre il settantennale della Liberazione. L’autore rievoca i mesi dal 25 luglio del 1943 al 25 aprile del 1945, quelli tra i suoi ventidue e ventiquattro anni di età. In uno stretto rapporto tra vicende individuali e grandi eventi pubblici si snoda, tra ricordi e riflessioni, tra emozioni e pensieri, una narrazione concreta e in qualche modo quotidiana di sé e di molti altri. Pavone è sospeso in quei mesi tra un antifascismo ideale – declinato in maniera incerta tra il cattolicesimo da cui proviene e il socialismo e l’azionismo che lo attraggono – e il bisogno di agire che lo porta alla militanza clandestina. Dopo l’8 settembre, in una Roma piena di angosce e incertezze, una buona dose di sfortuna lo farà arrestare dalla polizia fascista. Rinchiuso a Regina Coeli, incontrerà numerosi altri antifascisti, da Leone Ginzburg a Ruggero Zangrandi. Qui nascerà anche l’amicizia col vecchio comunista dissidente Nestore Tursi, che gli farà da maestro. Trasferito nel dicembre 1943 nel carcere di Castelfranco Emilia, ne uscirà nell’estate del 1944, con l’obbligo di arruolarsi nell’esercito repubblichino. Scapperà a Milano, dove sotto falso nome intesserà i fili di una nuova attività clandestina. Il 25 aprile del 1945 sarà tra la folla di piazzale Loreto, prima di farsi prendere coi suoi compagni dall’allegria di Milano nei primi giorni di libertà.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: È il 1943. A Carpi si consolida una forte Resistenza di pianura. Accanto agli uomini, le donne combattono, rischiano recapitando messaggi e volantini, nascondono i ricercati. Quindici figlie e figli di partigiane di Carpi raccontano che cosa rimane nella memoria popolare della Resistenza al femminile. La miseria, la povertà della guerra, la solidarietà in situazioni estreme, a volte la pietà per il nemico: tutto traspare dalla Memoria per restituire un quadro che riconosce alle donne e alle madri partigiane il ruolo fondamentale assunto nella nostra Storia. “La storia di questo nostro Paese è segnata da una presenza, ancora ingombrante, di una cultura che mette in secondo piano le donne. Ci sono voluti tanti anni e lotte molto aspre per conquistare leggi che riconoscessero la piena uguaglianza tra uomo e donna e non è certo concluso il ciclo. Le leggi oggi ci sono, ma gli usi e i costumi, la cultura in generale, devono fare ancora molta strada. Conoscere la nostra storia passata, l’evoluzione, e qualche volta l’involuzione subita, aiuta a orientarsi negli impegni, non solo personali, ma anche in quelli politici, sociali e culturali che la storia di queste donne ci ha indicato”. (Aude Pacchioni) “Raccontando l’esistenza di persone che appartengono alla cosiddetta gente comune, si racconta un’intera generazione. Nelle testimonianze c’è la “vita” del singolo, ma che è stata anche la vita di molti. Per tutelare la memoria bisogna dare slancio alla ricerca e offrire così speranza di futuro ai giovani. Spiegando, facendo capire i pericoli che incombono sempre, anche quando diamo tutto per acquisito e certo. I ripetuti assalti alla verità dei cosiddetti “revisionisti” hanno dimostrato la necessità di non permettere che la memoria sia cancellata. Si dice che la Storia è scritta dai vincitori: in questo caso la storia è scritta da chi l’ha vissuta e ha creduto in un sogno di libertà”. (Pierluigi Senatore)

Book excerpt: In 1945, disguised in German greatcoat and helmet, Mussolini attempted to escape from the advancing Allied armies. Unfortunately for him, the convoy of which he was part was stopped by partisans and his features, made so familiar by Fascist propaganda, gave him away. Within 24 hours he was executed by his captors, joining those he sent early to their graves as an outcome of his tyranny, at least one million people. He was one of the tyrant-killers who so scarred interwar Europe, but we cannot properly understand him or his regime by any simple equation with Hitler or Stalin. Like them, his life began modestly in the provinces; unlike them, he maintained a traditonal male family life, including both wife and mistresses, and sought in his way to be an intellectual. He was cruel (though not the cruellest); his racism existed, but never without the consistency and vigor that would have made him a good recruit for the SS. He sought an empire; but, in the most part, his was of the old-fashioned, costly, nineteenth century variety, not a racial or ideological imperium. And, self-evidently Italian society was not German or Russian: the particular patterns of that society shaped his dictatorship. Bosworth's Mussolini allows us to come closer than ever before to an appreciation of the life and actions of the man and of the political world and society within which he operated. With extraordinary skill and vividness, drawing on a huge range of sources, this biography paints a picture of brutality and failure, yet one tempered with an understanding of Mussolini as a human being, not so different from many of his contemporaries.

Book excerpt: 'Kissinger's absorbing book tackles head-on some of the toughest questions of our time . . . Its pages sparkle with insight' Simon Schama in the NEW YORKER Spanning more than three centuries, from Cardinal Richelieu to the fragility of the 'New World Order', DIPLOMACY is the now-classic history of international relations by the former Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Kissinger's intimate portraits of world leaders, many from personal experience, provide the reader with a unique insight into what really goes on -- and why -- behind the closed doors of the corridors of power. 'Budding diplomats and politicians should read it as avidly as their predecessors read Machiavelli' Douglas Hurd in the DAILY TELEGRAPH 'If you want to pay someone a compliment, give them Henry Kissinger's DIPLOMACY ... It is certainly one of the best, and most enjoyable [books] on international relations past and present ... DIPLOMACY should be read for the sheer historical sweep, the characterisations, the story-telling, the ability to look at large parts of the world as a whole' Malcolm Rutherford in the FINANCIAL TIMES

Download or read book The Imagined Immigrant written by Ilaria Serra and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No political parties of present-day Germany are separated by a wider gulf than the two parties of labor, one democratic and reformist, the other totalitarian and socialist-revolutionary. Social Democrats and Communists today face each other as bitter political enemies across the front lines of the Cold War; yet they share a common origin in the Social Democratic Party of Imperial Germany. How did they come to go separate ways? By what process did the old party break apart? How did the prewar party prepare the ground for the dissolution of the labor movement in World War I, and for the subsequent extension of Leninism into Germany? To answer these questions is the purpose of Carl Schorske's study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the representation of the Axis War – the wars of aggression that Fascist Italy fought in North Africa, Greece, the Soviet Union, and the Balkans, from 1940 to 1943 – in three decades of Italian literature. Building on an innovative and interdisciplinary methodology, which combines memory studies, historiography, thematic criticism, and narratology, this book explores the main topoi, themes, and masterplots of an extensive corpus of novels and memoirs to assess the contribution of literature to the reshaping of Italian memory and identity after the end of Fascism. By exploring the influence that public memory exercises on literary depictions and, in return, the contribution of literary texts to the formation and dissemination of a discourse about the past, the book examines to what extent Italian literature helped readers form an ethical awareness of the crimes committed by members of their national community during World War II.

Download or read book The Politics of Retribution in Europe written by István Deák and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-06 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presentation of Europe's immediate historical past has quite dramatically changed. Conventional depictions of occupation and collaboration in World War II, of wartime resistance and post-war renewal, provided the familiar backdrop against which the chronicle of post-war Europe has mostly been told. Within these often ritualistic presentations, it was possible to conceal the fact that not only were the majority of people in Hitler's Europe not resistance fighters but millions actively co-operated with and many millions more rather easily accommodated to Nazi rule. Moreover, after the war, those who judged former collaborators were sometimes themselves former collaborators. Many people became innocent victims of retribution, while others--among them notorious war criminals--escaped punishment. Nonetheless, the process of retribution was not useless but rather a historically unique effort to purify the continent of the many sins Europeans had committed. This book sheds light on the collective amnesia that overtook European governments and peoples regarding their own responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity--an amnesia that has only recently begun to dissipate as a result of often painful searching across the continent. In inspiring essays, a group of internationally renowned scholars unravels the moral and political choices facing European governments in the war's aftermath: how to punish the guilty, how to decide who was guilty of what, how to convert often unspeakable and conflicted war experiences and memories into serviceable, even uplifting accounts of national history. In short, these scholars explore how the drama of the immediate past was (and was not) successfully "overcome." Through their comparative and transnational emphasis, they also illuminate the division between eastern and western Europe, locating its origins both in the war and in post-war domestic and international affairs. Here, as in their discussion of collaborators' trials, the authors lay bare the roots of the many unresolved and painful memories clouding present-day Europe. Contributors are Brad Abrams, Martin Conway, Sarah Farmer, Luc Huyse, László Karsai, Mark Mazower, and Peter Romijn, as well as the editors. Taken separately, their essays are significant contributions to the contemporary history of several European countries. Taken together, they represent an original and pathbreaking account of a formative moment in the shaping of Europe at the dawn of a new millennium.

Download or read book Perpetrating the Holocaust written by Paul R. Bartrop and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together a number of disparate themes relating to Holocaust perpetrators, this book shows how Nazi Germany propelled a vast number of Europeans to try to re-engineer the population base of the continent through mass murder. A comprehensive introductory essay, along with a detailed chronology, reference entries, primary sources, images, and a bibliography provide crucial information that readers need in order to understand Hitler's plan, as carried out through legislation and armed violence. The book also demonstrates that both within Nazi Germany, and in other parts of Europe, all sectors of society played a role in planning, facilitating, and executing the Final Solution. In addition to entries on nearly 150 perpetrators, the book includes 25 primary source documents, ranging from government memoranda to first-hand observations of Nazi killing activities to field reports from senior officers on the scene of Holocaust killing sites. Also included are excerpts from literary memoirs. Students and researchers will find these documents to be fascinating statements as well as excellent source material for further research.

Book excerpt: Set in Reformation Europe, Q begins with Luther's nailing of his 95 theses on the door of the cathedral church in Wittenberg. Q traces the adventures and conflicts of two central characters: an Anabaptist, a member of the most radical of the Protestant sects and the anarchists of the Reformation, and a Catholic spy and informer, on their thrilling journey across Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The four young writers who shelter behind the pseudonym Luther Blissett have created a world of intrigue, violence and intense political and religious passion. Far from the traditional example of historical fiction, Q is the stuff of which cults are made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1798, the armies of the French Revolution tried to transform Rome from the capital of the Papal States to a Jacobin Republic. For the next two decades, Rome was the subject of power struggles between the forces of the Empire and the Papacy, while Romans endured the unsuccessful efforts of Napoleon’s best and brightest to pull the ancient city into the modern world. Against this historical backdrop, Nicassio weaves together an absorbing social, cultural, and political history of Rome and its people. Based on primary sources and incorporating two centuries of Italian, French, and international research, her work reveals what life was like for Romans in the age of Napoleon. “A remarkable book that wonderfully vivifies an understudied era in the history of Rome. . . . This book will engage anyone interested in early modern cities, the relationship between religion and daily life, and the history of the city of Rome.”—Journal of Modern History “An engaging account of Tosca’s Rome. . . . Nicassio provides a fluent introduction to her subject.”—History Today “Meticulously researched, drawing on a host of original manuscripts, memoirs, personal letters, and secondary sources, enabling [Nicassio] to bring her story to life.”—History
