El 13 de agosto de 1944, el joven piloto estadounidense Joe Moser, de solo 22 años, despegó para cumplir su misión número 44 sobre la Francia ocupada. Moser, quien pasó de ser un chico de granja a cumplir su sueño de pilotear un Lockheed P-38 Lightning, una de las armas más letales de las fuerzas aéreas estadounidenses contra la poderosa Luftwaffe alemana, muy pronto descubriría los horrores de la guerra: su avión fue derribado para posteriormente ser capturado y enviado a Buchenwald, el terrible campo de concentración nazi.

De 1940 à 1944, une bande de malfrats, dirigée par Henri Lafont et Pierre Bonny – un petit escroc allié à un flic ripou – s'est mise au service de l'occupant allemand en semant la terreur et le chaos dans la capitale française. Protégée par les nazis, cette organisation criminelle est entrée dans l'histoire sous le nom de la Gestapo française de la rue Lauriston, surnommée la Carlingue. De loin la plus puissante, la plus crainte et la plus haïe des Gestapos françaises, elle était également la mieux organisée.

Der blinde Fleck in der eigenen Familiengeschichte. Die Schoah und das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs liegen weit zurück, es leben nur noch wenige Zeitzeugen und Zeitzeuginnen. Ihre Vergangenheit jedoch hinterlässt bis heute Spuren in den Familien. Geprägt durch eine Katastrophe, die sie nicht selbst erlebt haben, haben viele Nachkommen der Täter, Komplizen, Handlanger, Mitläufer und Opportunisten seelische Wunden, deren Ursachen sie oft nur vage kennen: zwischenmenschliche Kälte, Schuldgefühle, Ängste, Einsamkeit, ein Gefühl der Entwurzelung.

John Basilone was a man who embodied self-sacrifice. Prior to his passing, he engaged in several incredible battles with America’s foes in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It was during the heat of battle at Guadalcanal that this Marine proved himself a thousand times over. Under heavy fire, he left his position to run across hostile terrain to grab up much-needed ammunition so that he could resupply his gunners. In the end, only Basilone and two other men from his unit were left standing, but they nevertheless managed to hand the Japanese a stunning defeat.

" La Collaboration demeure “le plus délicat des problèmes posés par la défaite et la division de la France” (Stanley Hoffmann). Il s’agit d’un concept flou, que l’on a chargé d’une mission impossible, consistant à ranger sous une étiquette commune des Français d’origines, de motivations et de conduites très différentes, souvent contradictoires. Elle n’a jamais inspiré une politique clairement déterminée, fixée une fois pour toutes, car elle s’adaptait en permanence aux circonstances.

The P-38 Lightning was one of the fastest operational fighters of World War II, famous for its successes in North Africa and the Pacific. In The P-38 Lightning and the Men Who Flew It, Wolfgang W. E. Samuel shares the stories of the young men who climbed into the cockpits of the P-38 to fight for freedom, and of those who created, tested, and deployed these fearsome machines. The P-38 was the product of the Lockheed Corporation, the first fighter they ever built, principally conceptualized by Kelly Johnson, whose design was to meet Air Corps specifications. But it was no easy plane to fly.

The last battle of World War II was not for military victory but for the technology of the Third Reich. In American Raiders, Wolfgang Samuel assembles from official Air Force records and survivors' interviews the largely untold stories of the disarmament of the Luftwaffe and of Operation Lusty—the hunt for Nazi technologies.

Facing the harrowing task of rebuilding a life in the wake of the Holocaust, many Jewish survivors, community and religious leaders, and Allied soldiers viewed marriage between Jewish women and military personnel as a way to move forward after unspeakable loss. Proponents believed that these unions were more than just a ticket out of war-torn Europe: they would help the Jewish people repopulate after the attempted annihilation of European Jewry.

“One of the very best World War II books in many years…A great read.” —General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Director of the CIA * “Fans of Unbroken will love this book.” —Doug Stanton In the tradition of Ghost Soldiers, a “riveting” (The Wall Street Journal) World War...

Prizewinning historian Michael David-Fox traces the experiences of Smolensk residents between the interwar years and the end of World War II, a period during which the city and region passed from Stalinist rule to Nazi occupation and back. The result is a revelatory examination of choice and power under dueling forms of murderous totalitarianism. Exploring the life-and-death decisions of a fascinating cast of characters, David-Fox shows how deeply the Stalinist and Nazi regimes relied on the co-optation of average citizens motivated by greed and need, but always within the orbit of ideology.

For six years, Britain and Nazi Germany fought a bitter battle for control of the Atlantic. Allied offensives against Hitler's armies on the continent were conditioned by their bases on the British Isles, which made air strikes and landings possible. But during 1939, the Germans began to ‘starve’ the British into surrender by cutting off vital supplies of food and equipment from the Allies. This was done with the help of U-boats that tried to sink more cargo ships than the shipyards could produce - even when these actions were suicidal.

A genuine classic. Not to be missed. By one of the masters of nonfiction. Monte Sole - Mountain of the Sun - had the bad luck to lie on the main route of withdrawal of the retreating German armies in autumn 1944. As the allied advance stormed up Italy to the very shadow of Monte Sole, Axis frustration over their retreat and the harassing Italian partisans reached its peak.

"ஹிட்லர் என்கிற ஒரு மனிதன் உலகத்தில் தோன்றாமல் இருந்திருந்தால் இரண்டாவது உலக யுத்தம் ஏற்பட்டிருக்குமா என்பது கொஞ்சம் சந்தேகம்தான்.

The book outlines “the activities of Nazi agents in the United States, Mexico, and Central America” in the late 1930s. “During the past five years,” Spivak writes, “I have observed some of them, watching the original, crudely organized and directed propaganda machine develop, grow and leave an influence far wider than most people seem to realize.” First aimed at domestic propaganda, these activities extended to probing U.S. military secrets and attempting to damage U.S. relations to its neighbors to the south.

Mein Spy gives a firsthand documentation of German espionage and sabotage in the U.S. in the lead-ups to both World War I and World War II. These activities, some only plotted, some carried out, defeated their own purpose. Instead of keeping America from intervening on behalf of the Allies, German disinformation and sabotage inflamed an American public opinion that up to that point had mostly been neutral.
