Churchill’s Secret Warriors tells the electrifying story of the Special Operations Executive (SOE)—the shadowy organisation Britain created in World War II to fight the Nazis from behind enemy lines. This book pulls back the curtain on one of history’s most daring and unconventional wartime initiatives. Born in desperation after the fall of France and the near-collapse of Europe, the SOE was Churchill’s audacious answer to the Nazi stranglehold across the continent.

History is not just a tale of treaties, timelines, and tyrants. It’s a story of people—conflicted, courageous, calculating, and sometimes catastrophically wrong. Strife! pulls listeners deep into Europe’s tumultuous march from the ashes of Napoleon to the thunderclap of September 1939, not through dry recitations of dates, but through the eyes of those who lived, ruled, broke, and burned. Following the companion volume on Asia’s path to war, this second book in the Strife! series dives headfirst into Europe’s long and winding road to World War II.

Kaum ein Ereignis der deutschen Geschichte hat eine solch symbolische Kraft entwickelt wie der Anschlag auf Hitler vom 20. Juli. Tobias Kniebe hat die Vorgeschichte und den Verlauf der dramatischen Vorgänge präzise rekonstruiert: Wie verliefen die Planungen? Woran genau scheiterte der Staatsstreich? Wie erlebte die Familie Stauffenberg die tragischen Ereignisse?

Снайперское движение в Красной армии началось в самые отчаянные дни войны, осенью 1941-го, на Ленинградском фронте. В 1943 году в составе действующей армии появились первые женские снайперские взводы. На счету у многих «ангелов мщения» были десятки убитых врагов.

И все же главным событием их жизни стала Великая Отечественная.

As American forces pushed the Japanese back across the Pacific from 1942-1944, their island-hopping campaign ultimately made it possible for the Air Force to conduct bombing runs over the Japanese mainland. The first serious air raids came in November 1944, after the Americans had captured the Marianas Islands, and through February 1945, American bombers concentrated on military targets at the fringes of the city, particularly air defenses.

There can be few more exciting or frightening moments in European history than the spring of 1848. Almost as if by magic, in city after city, from Palermo to Paris to Venice, huge crowds gathered, sometimes peaceful and sometimes violent, and the political order that had held sway since the defeat of Napoleon simply collapsed. Christopher Clark's spectacular new book recreates with verve, wit and insight this extraordinary period.

Parlare di Napoleone vuol dire confrontarsi con un gigante. Come ha potuto un semplice adolescente originario della Corsica, basso, gracile, fisicamente molto ordinario, divenire, nel giro di due decenni, prima console, poi Imperatore di Francia e poi il terrore dell'Europa intera? Usando le parole di Manzoni, dalle Alpi alle Piramidi, dal Manzanarre al Reno, il dominio di Napoleone Bonaparte è stato davvero irripetibile. Come capo della Francia, per molte volte il resto d'Europa si è unito contro di lui, in innumerevoli Coalizioni.

The devastation of Pearl Harbor and the American victory at Midway were prelude to a greater challenge: rolling back the vast Japanese Pacific empire island by island. This masterful history encompasses the heart of the Pacific War - the period between mid-1942 and mid-1944 - when parallel Allied counteroffensives north and south of the equator washed over Japan's far-flung island empire like a "conquering tide", concluding with Japan's irreversible strategic defeat in the Marianas.

The late Dr. Michihiko Hachiya was director of the Hiroshima Communications Hospital when the world's first atomic bomb was dropped on the city. Though his responsibilities in the appalling chaos of a devastated city were awesome, he found time to record the story daily, with compassion and tenderness.
