By the close of World War II, six million Jews had been erased from the face of the earth. Those who eluded death had lost their homes, families, and entire way of life. Their response was quintessentially Jewish. From a people with a long-history of self-narration, survivors gathered in groups and wrote books, yizkor books, remembering all that had been destroyed. Jane Ziegelman’s Once There Was a Town takes listeners on a journey through this largely uncharted body of writing and the vanished world it depicts.

A major new history of Asia’s Second World War Blood Dawn offers a momentous new history of World War II in Asia. Drawing on deep archival research across continents, historian Hans van de Ven tells the dramatic story of how Asia’s people mobilized to defeat both Japanese aggression and...

Kabul; August 15, 2021. It was supposed to be Marwa’s first day back at medical school. After more than a year of the pandemic’s isolation, here, at last, was a cause for celebration. She set out her books and ironed the dress specially chosen for the occasion. But when she awoke that...

Few disasters have touched Australia as profoundly as the sinking of the hospital ship Centaur – one of the deadliest wartime attacks ever on Australia – killing 268 souls on a mission of mercy. Ellen Savage, a fearless nurse from country New South Wales, was the only woman to survive. For more than 34 hours, she and other heroes fought off sharks and helped the injured until rescuers arrived. She was awarded the George Medal for her bravery.

The year is 1943. The war in the Pacific enters its 11th month, and there is no sign of it slowing down. The Japanese Empire has conquered most of the theater, except for Australia and a few outlying islands in the Solomons that the Allies have been able to liberate.

When World War I began in August 1914, the British confidently predicted that it would be "over by Christmas." In Berlin, Kaiser Wilhelm II told his soldiers that they would be "home before the leaves fall." But by late December, it was clear not only that the war was far from over, but also that this would be a more destructive and deadly conflict than any that had come before. On the Western Front, British troops faced the Germans across two opposing lines of trenches.

American forces in the Pacific faced an enemy unlike any in history. Soldiers who chose death over surrender, launched suicidal banzai charges, and crashed planes into ships. This wasn't madness. It was doctrine. Three cultural forces created history's most fanatical fighters. The ancient bushido code weaponized for modern war. The gyokusai belief that made surrender worse than death. And the emperor worship that convinced millions to die for a living god.

Delta Force: The Missions is a gripping and unflinching chronicle of America’s most secretive and elite special operations unit. From its birth in the shadows of the late 1970s to its pivotal role in some of the most complex and dangerous missions of the modern era, this book takes listeners deeper into the Unit’s operational history than ever before. These are the stories of the men who step quietly into the world’s most volatile situations—fully aware that success will remain classified and failure may alter history.

L'exploit d'Oskar Schindler est connu, celui de Felix Kersten l'est beaucoup moins. Pourtant, un mémorandum du Congrès juif mondial établissait dès 1947 que cet homme avait sauvé en Allemagne « 100 000 personnes de diverses nationalités, dont environ 60 000 juifs ». Pour reconstituer cette dernière au travers des archives, des mémoires, des journaux, des notes et des dépositions des principaux protagonistes, il fallait un historien spécialiste de la Seconde Guerre mondiale qui soit également polyglotte.

The Memoirs of a Gunner offer a powerful, documentary style reflection of a young U.S. gunner's experiences in five major World War II battles. Written six decades later, he shares a rare, balanced and convincing view of the war he was part of as a paratrooper and combat soldier capturing both youthful emotion and enduring humanity. He describes several times moments of tragic events, which are part of the price for the later outcome. David Bowman talks not only about combat actions. There was still life 'in between' worth telling, when a huge army prepared for the next combat.

V roce 1939 zorganizoval Sir Nicholas Winton záchrannou akci, během které se mu podařilo zachránit 669 českých dětí z nacisty okupovaného Československa. Jedním ze zachráněných dětí byl také Otto Pick (1925 – 2016). V Praze vychodil obecnou školu, ve studiu pokračoval na Anglickém gymnáziu. Díky transportu Sira Nicholase Wintona se ve 14 letech dostal do Velké Británie, kde po dostudování střední školy získal stipendium na Oxfordské univerzitě. V roce 1943 však vstoupil do československé armády v Anglii a jako spojař a radista se zúčastnil i vylodění v Normandii.

The Russian Revolution may well be the most misunderstood event in modern history. In this fast-paced introduction, Neil Faulkner debunks the myths that continue to shroud it, showing how a mass movement of millions, organised in democratic assemblies, mobilised for militant action and destroyed a regime of landlords, profiteers and warmongers.

The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) was the third most powerful navy in the world at the start of World War II, and came to dominate the Pacific in the early months of the war. This book details the Japanese ships which fought in the Pacific and examines the principles on which they were designed, how they were armed, when and where they were deployed and how effective they were in battle.

A newly discovered, powerful and devastating firsthand account of the Hiroshima bombing and its aftermath, from one of the survivors profiled in John Hersey's landmark 1946 account, Hiroshima. At approximately 8:15 on the morning of August 6, 1945, Kiyoshi Tanimoto was on the outskirts of...

The world changed on Sept 11th 2001 and again May 2nd, 2011 but for me, the real transformation unfolded over months of training, deployment, and the long journey home. This war diary is not just a record of events but a reflection of the duality of life in service—a world where chaos meets connection, where exhaustion coexists with resilience, and where longing for home becomes both an anchor and a driving force.

Surviving Hell is a harrowing account of Lieutenant Colonel William Miner, taken prisoner for 39 months after his unit surrendered to the Japanese on the island of Cebu, Philippines, during World War II. Despite losing every friend in his unit and suffering from torture and deprivation that would “warp men’s souls,” Bill Miner professed, “I am lucky. People fell beside me and people were blown apart beside me. Anywhere I went as a prisoner, I tried to be aware of the situation and use it the best I could to survive.”

Den 1. september 1939 angriber Hitler Polen. Landet skal erobres lynhurtigt, før Storbritannien og Frankrig når at komme til hjælp. De massive tyske panserdivisioner buldrer frem, effektivt støttet af Luftwaffe, der smadrer den polske hærs bastioner og ødelægger broer, veje og radiostationer. I foråret 1940 ruller den tyske blitzkrieg igen gennem Europa. På få måneder falder Danmark, Norge, Holland, Belgien og Frankrig. Men da Hitler sender Luftwaffe mod Storbritannien, må den tyske diktator erkende, at briterne er sejere end forventet.

The struggle between Rome and Carthage in the Punic Wars was arguably the greatest and most desperate conflict of antiquity. The forces involved and the casualties suffered by both sides were far greater than in any wars fought before the modern era, while the eventual outcome had far-reaching...

In 1914 a war began that destroyed nearly everything in its path: lives, countries, empires, and the world as it was known until that moment. And while destruction could be found almost everywhere around the world in its aftermath, nowhere was more marred than that of the Western Front; the scars of which still haunt us to this day.
