Story0
The fighting between the German and Russian armies in the Rzhev Salient during World War II was so grisly, so murderous, and saw such vast losses that the troops called the campaign 'The Meat Grinder'. Though millions of men would fight and die there, the Rzhev Salient does not have the name recognition of Leningrad or Moscow. It has been largely ignored by Western historians – until now.

Story0
Naples '44 is an unflinching autobiographical account of a year in Naples after the armistice and Allied landings in Sorrento in 1943. Working as a British counterintelligence officer under the Allied occupation, Lewis documents the rich pageant of life in the city and its surrounding areas. There is suffering and squalor: Criminal gangs are on the rise, along with typhus and black market commerce, and the female population is forced into part-time prostitution. But there is farce and humor, too, witnessed in the Roman uncle paid handsomely simply to appear at funerals.

Le 18 juin 1940 : naissance de Charles de Gaulle. Naissance à Londres derrière un micro avec des mots qui promettent à la France, vaincue par les chars et les avions, la victoire par les chars et les avions. Mais la France n'est pas à l'écoute. La France est sur les routes, dans les villes surpeuplées du Sud-Ouest et du Midi, dans les camps de prisonniers. La France ne parle le 18 juin que d'un seul appel, d'un seul discours, celui que le maréchal Pétain a lancé le 17 juin pour dire qu'il fallait cesser le combat et demander l'armistice. Et la France est d'accord.

Story0
Called to action on 2 April 1982, the men of 45 Commando Royal Marines assembled from around the world to sail 8,000 miles to recover the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion. Lacking helicopters and short of food, they ‘yomped’ in appalling weather carrying overloaded rucksacks, across the roughest terrain. Yet for a month in mid-winter, they remained a cohesive fighting-fit body of men. They then fought and won the highly successful and fierce night battle for Two Sisters, a 1,000 foot high mountain which was the key to the defensive positions around Stanley.

The Rhineland was where Adolf Hitler sowed the seeds for the Second World War when he remilitarized it in breach of the Treaty of Versailles in 1936, and by late 1944 the Rhine provided the last major obstacle to the advancing Allied armies that were threatening the Fatherland itself. In this new history of this vital campaign, respected military historian Anthony Tucker-Jones describes the race against time as the Germans fought to stave off the inevitable.

Story0
Frühling 1848. Scheinbar aus dem Nichts versammelten sich in unzähligen Städten von Palermo bis Paris riesige Menschenmengen, oft in friedlicher, manchmal aber auch in gewalttätiger Absicht. Die politische Ordnung, die seit Napoleons Niederlage in Europa Bestand hatte, brach in sich zusammen. Überall entstanden neue politische Ideen. Es ging um die Rolle der Frau, das Ende der Sklaverei, das Recht auf Arbeit, nationale Unabhängigkeit und die jüdische Emanzipation. Christopher Clark erweckt mit neuen Erkenntnissen die Visionen dieser Epoche und deren Niederschlagung zum Leben.

Story0
At the height of World War II the people of Leningrad endured a bitter 900-day siege. Prit Buttar tells the story of how the siege was finally broken. The Red Army had suffered multiple setbacks in the preceding two years but achieved a partial success by breaking the blockage in early 1943. However, this was followed by further failed attempts to lift the siege completely. This compelling history uses original Russian source material to vividly describe the deprivations visited upon those trapped. But it also details the tactical successes and strategic failures of both sides.

Puntare sulla capitale scortato da un esercito vincitore ma rimasto improvvisamente senza capi; farsi attribuire, a diciannove anni, la massima magistratura imponendo come collega un parente che avrebbe fatto uccidere poche settimane dopo; atterrire, armi in pugno, il Senato e imporgli di avallare una procedura sfacciatamente eversiva; avviare le più feroci proscrizioni che la Repubblica avesse mai visto, creando una inedita magistratura straordinaria - il "triumvirato".

All'alba del 26 aprile 1986, all'01:23:40, Aleksandr Akimov preme l'interruttore per l'arresto di emergenza del quarto reattore nucleare di Chernobyl. Quel gesto costringe alla permanente evacuazione di una città e sancisce l'inizio di un disastro nucleare che ha segnato la storia del mondo e il destino dell'Unione Sovietica. Seguiranno decenni di storie contraddittorie, esagerate e inesatte.

Livy's splendid adventure of Rome's rise to dominance comes to a close in this concluding volume of his magnificent history. Sadly, the work abruptly halts near the completion of book 45, which concerns events in Greece in the year 168 BC. The missing portions, numbering 107 books, have never been found. The original text of this monumental history, which came to 142 books when he completed it, carried the story to 9 BC.

The British Army won a convincing series of victories between 1916 and 1918. But by 1939 the British Army was an entirely different animal. The hard-won knowledge, experience and strategic vision that delivered victory after victory in the closing stages of the First World War had been lost. In the inter-war years there was plenty of talking, but very little focus on who Britain might have to fight, and how. Victory to Defeat is a captivating history of the mismanagement of a war-winning army.

Il Seicento è definito dagli storici "il Secolo di ferro", perché secolo delle grandi guerre fra le Corone (come la sanguinosa e lunga Guerra dei Trent'anni), dei contrasti sociali, delle rivolte contadine e delle rivoluzioni (come quella di Cromwell), delle carestie, delle pestilenze, ma anche delle colonizzazioni delle Americhe da parte delle potenze marittime europee (Inghilterra, Spagna, Francia, Portogallo). È dunque un secolo caratterizzato da aspri conflitti (si pensi alla continuazione delle guerre di religione fra cattolici e protestanti) e numerose trasformazioni.
