Book Synopsis In Brigands' Hands and Turkish Prisons by : A. Forder
Download or read book In Brigands' Hands and Turkish Prisons written by A. Forder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Brigands' Hands and Turkish Prisons: 1914-1918 Of necessity the personal pronoun will be prominent, but as far as possible it shall be obliterated, lest it jar too much on the reader's ears. Chapters XVIII, XIX, and XX are inserted, to put into permanent form the papers read at a Bible school in Jerusalem, this too at the request of hearers and friends. My incarceration as a political prisoner in Damascus for four years, during the late war, gave me time and opportunity for writing what is herein contained. Any repetitions, errors in dates, names, or such like, must be pardoned by the reader, for the absence of all books and papers to refer to is the cause of any such.

Book Synopsis The War Behind the Wire by : John Lewis-Stempel
Download or read book The War Behind the Wire written by John Lewis-Stempel and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last untold story of the First World War: the fortunes and fates of 170,000 British soldiers captured by the enemy. On capture, British officers and men were routinely told by the Germans 'For you the war is over'. Nothing could be further from the truth. British Prisoners of War merely exchanged one barbed-wire battleground for another. In the camps the war was eternal. There was the war against the German military, fought with everything from taunting humour to outright sabotage, with a literal spanner put in the works of the factories and salt mines prisoners were forced to slave in. British PoWs also fought a valiant war against the conditions in which they were mired. They battled starvation, disease, Prussian cruelties, boredom, and their own inner demons. And, of course, they escaped. Then escaped again. No less than 29 officers at Holzminden camp in 1918 burrowed their way out via a tunnel (dug with a chisel and trowel) in the Great Escape of the Great War. It was war with heart-breaking consequences: more than 12,000 PoWs died, many of them murdered, to be buried in shallow unmarked graves. Using contemporary records - from prisoners' diaries to letters home to poetry - John Lewis-Stempel reveals the death, life and, above all, the glory of Britain's warriors behind the wire. For it was in the PoW camps, far from the blasted trenches, that the true spirit of the Tommy was exemplified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George C. Marshall was an American military leader, Chief of Staff of the Army, Secretary of State, and the third Secretary of Defense. Once noted as the "organizer of victory" by Winston Churchill for his leadership of the Allied victory in World War II, Marshall served as the United States Army Chief of Staff during the war and as the chief military adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As Secretary of State, his name was given to the Marshall Plan, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. He drafted this manuscript while he was in Washington, D.C., between 1919 and 1924 as aide-de-camp to General of the Armies John J. Pershing. However, given the growing bitterness of the "memoirs wars" of the period he decided against publication, and the draft sat unused until the 1970s when Marshall's step-daughter and her husband decided to publish it.
