La guerra del 1914-1918 fu il primo conflitto che coinvolse tutti i paesi d'Europa. Due possenti coalizioni, l'Intesa (Gran Bretagna, Francia e Russia) e gli imperi centrali (Germania e Austria-Ungheria), si misurarono in uno scontro tanto violento quanto logorante. In termini di costi economici e umani - nove milioni di morti - i quattro anni di combattimenti ebbero sulle potenze belligeranti un effetto disastroso.

Tobias Kniebe hat die Vorgeschichte und den Verlauf der dramatischen Vorgänge präzise rekonstruiert: Wie verliefen die Planungen? Woran genau scheiterte der Staatsstreich?

Маршал Советского Союза Константин Рокоссовский (1896–1968) — один из «авторов» Победы в Великой Отечественной войне. В конце жизни Рокоссовский выступил в роли автора книги, посвященной ее важнейшим этапам и сражениям. Опубликованные вскоре после его смерти, мемуары стали последним «солдатским долгом», с честью исполненным маршалом. Советская цензура сократила или переписала почти половину рукописи. Настоящее издание воспроизводит авторский текст полностью.

Не всем этим девушкам довелось дожить до конца войны. Те, кому повезло, вернулись, совсем еще молодыми, к жизни обычных советских женщин. И все же главным событием их жизни стала Великая Отечественная.

César commence par y relater la guerre des Gaules, justifiant la soumission d'un monde considéré comme barbare, avant de nous plonger dans la guerre civile, c'est-à-dire l'effondrement de la République romaine. Comme le souligne Pacôme Thiellement, qui signe une postface audio inédite, entendre César aujourd'hui, c'est assister à la naissance d'une idéologie qui structure encore notre rapport au monde : domination, expansion et justification de la guerre.
