I 1933 griber Adolf Hitler magten i Tyskland, hvor han har forført befolkningen med gyldne løfter om ro og orden samt en genrejsning af Det Stortyske Rige. Lige så elegant udnytter han de andre vestmagters angst for konfrontation til uhindret at opruste. Før naboerne aner uråd, rykker tidens mest moderne krigs-maskine over de grænser, der blev fastlagt efter 1. verdenskrig. Og Hitler står ikke alene. Han allierer sig med Mussolinis fascistiske Italien, Stalins kommunistiske Sovjetunionen og – på den anden side af kloden – militærdiktaturet i Japan, der har samme storhedsdrømme som Tyskland.

On a three-day pass from Camp Mackall, North Carolina, Second Lieutenant Frank R. Ward met Catherine Oliver on the white sands of Myrtle Beach. What began as a chance encounter sparked a lifelong love story that would endure the trials of World War II.

In 1940, Winston Churchill famously set in motion the Special Operations Executive. With only the moon to guide their way, the daring pilots of 161 Squadron constantly faced danger: their locations could be discovered, German night-fighters and flak had to be contended with and, of course, they dealt with the worst of European weather. Despite these extra risks, these Special Duties pilots were remarkably successful.

Following the Western Allies' overwhelming victory on D-Day, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin are all prepared to shape the future, and Operation Market Garden is Britain's attempt to beat the Russians to Berlin and be the first to help craft the new world order. With 10,000 men dropped into Arnhem and another 20,000 in Grave, the British are set to secure the area and declare victory. However, Dutch resistance hero Christian Lindemans has other plans. Lindemans is determined to help the Germans gain the lead in the war and begins to dismantle the operation from within.

Turned away from the Royal Canadian Air Force for his apparent youth and frailty, Farley Mowat joined the infantry in 1940. The young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout drink, or find warm—if non-regulation—clothing. But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair.

After being shot down in Nazi-occupied Romania during WWII, a rookie American bomber crew must turn to unlikely allies: Romanian royalty. A thrilling true story from the New York Times bestselling author of A Higher Call, Spearhead, and Devotion.

Sænkningen af slagskibet Bismarck er en af de mest dramatiske episoder under Anden Verdenskrig. Det 50.000 tons tunge skib, der var udstyret med blandt andet 8 38-centimeterkanoner, var et ingeniørmæssigt vidunder, da det blev søsat i februar 1939. Med sin ildkraft og banebrydende teknik skulle skibet neutralisere den britiske marines overmagt og standse de allieredes livsvigtige konvojtrafik tværs over Atlanten.

Durch Görings Leben zieht sich wie ein roter Faden das Streben nach Macht und Geltung, von der Kindheit bis zur Verurteilung beim Nürnberger Kriegsverbrechertribunal und dem Selbstmord in der Gefängniszelle. Andreas Molitor zeigt, dass der selbsternannte «Mann der Tat» mit der «Entjudung der deutschen Wirtschaft» den wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Niedergang der deutschen Juden besiegelt und bei der Vorbereitung des Holocaust eine Hauptrolle gespielt hat.

The Blitz – from the German 'Blitzkrieg', lightning war – began as the Battle of Britain neared its conclusion. The Luftwaffe's sustained aerial bombing campaign against British urban centres lasted from September 1940 until May 1941. Over nine months, from Plymouth to Glasgow and Bristol to Newcastle, more than 43,500 civilians would die. John Nichol has flown aircraft in combat, he has dropped bombs himself, but he knew little about the Blitz. The generation who endured it, including his parents, were often keen to keep silent and move on from the conflict that had consumed their childhoods.

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel remains one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures of World War II. Celebrated by some as a brilliant commander and chivalrous adversary, and condemned by others as a willing servant of the Nazi war machine, Rommel's legacy stands at the crossroads of myth and reality. But who was the man behind the legend of the "Desert Fox"?

La sera del 23 agosto 1942 la Sedicesima divisione corazzata tedesca si assestava sulle rive del Volga, a breve distanza dalla città di Stalingrado . Era l'avanguardia della "grande armata" che poco più di un anno prima Hitler aveva lanciato a sorpresa contro l'Unione Sovietica "per schiacciare il comunismo slavo". L'Armata Rossa pareva in rotta. Gli uomini della Wehrmacht non potevano sapere che la città assediata sarebbe diventata un baluardo insuperabile, una trappola per le ambizioni del Reich e la tomba di decine di migliaia di suoi soldati.

One of the few RAF aircrew to play a central part in two of the Second World War's most momentous events, the Battle of Britain and D-Day, Cyril 'Frank' Babbage was a survivor. He wasn't just an immensely skilled pilot; he was also blessed with extraordinary good fortune.

Num de seus trabalhos mais ambiciosos e impressionantes, Ruy Castro levanta uma história que nunca tinha sido contada: a dos espiões, refugiados, quintas-colunas, diplomatas e artistas na capital federal do Brasil durante a Segunda Guerra. Foi um período marcado por reviravoltas, segredos e tramas que mudaram a vida dos brasileiros para sempre. Muito antes de o Brasil declarar guerra ao Eixo em 1942, a Segunda Guerra já estava entre nós.

In the chaos following World War II, the U.S. government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery. Was Operation Paperclip a moral outrage, or did it help America win the Cold War?

This is a book about a team of scientists and psychics with top secret clearances. For more than forty years, the U.S. government has researched extrasensory perception, using it in attempts to locate hostages, fugitives, secret bases, and downed fighter jets, to divine other nations' secrets, and even to predict future threats to national security. The intelligence agencies and military services involved include CIA, DIA, NSA, DEA, the Navy, Air Force, and Army—and even the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Christa Schroeder est une "ancienne" : membre du secrétariat de Hitler dès 1933, elle y est restée jusqu'au 20 avril 1945 – dix jours avant l'effondrement final du Troisième Reich. Pendant douze ans, elle a accompagné le Führer dans tous ses déplacements entre la capitale, le Berghof et ses divers quartiers généraux de campagne dans l'ouest de l'Allemagne, en Prusse-Orientale et en Ukraine. C'est principalement sur la personnalité de Hitler que Christa Schroeder a reporté toute son attention pendant plus d'une décennie, et c'est ce qui rend son témoignage inestimable.

From the plains of Kansas to the war rooms of London and the beaches of Normandy, The Man Who Led the Liberation of Europe traces Dwight D. Eisenhower’s extraordinary journey. He wasn’t a battlefield general in the traditional sense—but he wielded one of the most powerful weapons of the war: strategy. Balancing complex alliances, clashing egos, and an enemy entrenched across the continent, Eisenhower’s role as commander required more than just military brilliance—it demanded diplomacy, emotional intelligence, and nerves of steel.
