The biography of Franz Stangl, commandant of the Treblinka extermination camp - a classic and utterly compelling study of evilOnly four men commanded Nazi extermination (as opposed to concentration) camps. Franz Stangl was one of the. Gitta Sereny''s investigation of this man''s mind, and of the influences which shaped him, has become a classic. Stangl commanded Treblinka and was found guilty of co-responsibility for the slaughter there of at least 900, 000 people. Sereny, after weeks of talk with him and months of further research, shows us this man as he saw himself, and ''as he was seen by many others, including his wife. To horrify is not Sereny''s aim, though horror is inevitable.

Špandavské deníky - Albert Speer
Albert Speer patří jistě k nejzáhadnějším postavám novodobější historie. Při vzpomínce na jeho osobu vystupuje na povrch tolik mnohdy matoucích nesrovnalostí, že je nutno si položit otázku, jak se s tím tak racionálně založený muž mohl vyrovnat. Jeho život je skutečně neprůhlednější a mnohdy obtížněji dešifrovatelný než život samotného Hitlera…Jedním z klíčů, jak pochopit nejen složitou Speerovu osobnost, ale i dobu, ve které žil, mohou být jeho Špandavské deníky. Speer si již na začátku dvacetiletého trestu vězení vypracoval jakési zúčtování a lístek po lístku ho dopravil ven z vězení. I ve špandavském vězení zůstal Speer, i ve vztahu k vlastní osobě, chladným organizátorem, jímž byl všechna předcházející léta. To odhalují nejen ony výpočty, jimiž se chtěl přenést přes zbývající dobu vězení, imaginární návštěvy divadla nebo studijní kurzy, jež si nařídil, stejně jako posléze jeho cesta kolem světa, při níž na monotónních okruzích po vězeňské zahradě, provázen pouze nastudovanými obrázky dané světové oblasti, došel ze Špandavy „35 kilometrů jižně od Guadalajary (Mexiko)“. Speer byl, bez ohledu na své mimořádné schopnosti, představitelem nálad a afektů; jeho životní dráhu lze považovat za vzorový příklad německé sociální biografie oněch let. Názory zachycené ve Špandavských denících patří k autentickým odpovědím na otázku, jež předtím v ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The German Trauma - Gitta Sereny
Gitta Sereny is one of the world''s most respected journalists and historians. This book gathers together the best of her writing on Germany from over sixty years. It amounts to an extraordinary portrait of the country and its people, how they have come to terms with their Nazi past, both collectively and in specific instances - and how the burden of their guilt has altered the national identity. She writes about key individuals - Stangl, Speer - and the questions which their lives raise. Thepenetration and conviction of her writing throughout is startling and she constantly reminds us why it is important to consider the questions she addresses - war guilt, holocaust denial and the temptations of obedience.

The Case Of Mary Bell - Gitta Sereny
In December 1968 two girls who lived next door to each other - Mary, aged eleven, and Norma, thirteen - stood before a criminal court in Newcastle, accused of strangling two little boys; Martin Brown, four years old, and Brian Howe, three. Norma was acquitted. Mary Bell, the younger but infinitely more sophisticated and cooler of the two, was found guilty of manslaughter. She evaded being branded as a murderer due to what the court ruled as ''diminished responsibility'', but she was sentenced to ''detention'' for life. Step by step, Gitta Sereny pieces together a gripping and rare study of a horrifying crime; the murders, the events surrounding them, the alternately bizzare and nonchalant behaviour of the two girls, their brazen offers to help the distraught families of the dead boys, the police work that led to their apprehension, and finally the trial itself. What emerges from this extraorindary case is the inability of society to anticipate such events and to take adequate steps once disaster has struck.

Hitlerovi inženýři Fritz Todt a Albert Speer - Hlavní stavitelé Třetí říše - Blaine Taylor
Mnoho dosud nepublikovaných fotografií ze sbírek a fotoalb někdejších dvorních fotografů a působivě zpracované téma, kdy autor často nechává aktéry promlouvat jejich vlastními slovy - to jsou hlavní klady této knihy, která jako první uceleně pojednává o dvou významných osobnostech Třetí říše. V oblasti architektury a stavitelství tehdy představovali Fritz Todt a Albert Speer absolutní špičku. Je ironií, že ten druhý se stal známějším jen díky smrti prvního z nich, inženýra a stavitele Todta, který byl, jak se čtenář přesvědčí, po všech stránkách nejkompetentnějším Vůdcovým ministrem. Autorovi se zároveň podařilo prostřednictvím dvojitého životopisu představit vnitřní svět Hitlerovy vlády tak, jak ho viděli tehdejší hlavní hráči. Dokládá fascinaci obou mužů Hitlerem a idejemi nacionálního socialismu, který je dovedl nejen na vrchol moci, ale také k podílu na zločinech proti lidskosti.

Twelve Years With Hitler - Albert Zoller, Christa Schroeder
In 1930, as a young woman, Christa Schroeder became a stenographer for the Nazi party, before being noticed by Hitler who, in 1933, hired her as his private secretary. Schroeder remained by Hitler’s side, fiercely loyal, for twelve years, living at the Wolfsschanze and even joining him and his staff in the Führerbunker in Berlin in January 1945. In 1945, interned in the Augsburg camp, Christa Schroeder was interrogated by French liaison officer Albert Zoller who asked her to recount her years spent with the Führer. Schroeder’s testimony, published here in the form of interviews with Zollers, gives an intimate, astonishing and incredibly detailed insight into the private life and personality of Adolf Hitler throughout the 1930s and 1940s. An exceptional testimony, Twelve Years With Hitler is an essential source document on Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. Translated into English here for the first time, Albert Zoller’s interviews with Christa Schroeder are guaranteed to shock and fascinate any military history enthusiast. Albert Zoller was a French liaison officer who interviewed Adolf Hitler's private secretary Christa Schroeder while she was in detention in the Augsburg camp, Germany, in 1945.

A Family’s Tragic Battle with Napoleon - Gareth Glover
Captain John Grant Fraser of the Royal Artillery had succeeded to the titles of Ballindoun and Kinneries via the unexpected death of his elder brother James Fraser on 1 May 1791. John Grant died in 1798 and the title passed to his eldest son Baillie Fraser, their uncle Hugh acting as guardian until his coming of age. James Baillie Fraser joined the Army and rose to the rank of lieutenant in the 7th Fusiliers, serving in the Peninsular war. His younger brother Alexander John Fraser also joined the Army serving in the peninsula, becoming a lieutenant in the 52nd Foot. Both wrote home regularly to their sister Ann and gave fascinating details of life at war, but tragically James was killed at the Battle of Sorauren on 28 July 1813 and his brother Alexander was severely wounded and died at Bera on 20 October the same year. Within six months the war had ripped the heart out of the family. The estates passed to Ann, who tragically died on 16 December 1816, the whole then passing to their uncle Hugh.

The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 17 (Documentary Edition) - Albert Einstein
A definitive scholarly edition of the correspondence and papers of Albert EinsteinThis volume finds Einstein recovered and traveling again after a prolonged illness, to Paris, London, and Zurich to receive three honorary doctorates; to the Sixth Solvay Congress in Brussels and to Leyden; and to attend the Constituent Meeting of the Jewish Agency Council in Zurich and the twelfth session of the ICIC in Geneva. By the end of the volume, Einstein embarks on a transatlantic voyage for the first time in five years to spend an academic term at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Einstein’s work focuses on the teleparallel approach to unified field theory, on which he engages in intensive correspondence with Élie Cartan and begins his collaboration with Walther Mayer. He also presents popular accounts of his work, surveying the historical progression from classical to twentieth-century physics leading up to the latest developments in unified field theory. He also engages in lively exchanges on both technical and foundational issues in quantum mechanics with W. Pauli, M. Born, M. Schlick, and others.

The Shape of Battle - Allan Mallinson
One of our most distinguished military historians tells the story of six defining battles . . .Every battle is different. Each takes place in a different context - the war, the campaign, the weapons. However, battles across the centuries, whether fought with sticks and stones or advanced technology, have much in common. Fighting is, after all, an intensely human affair; human nature doesn''t change. So why were battles fought as they were? What gave them their shape? Why did they go as they did: victory for one side, defeat for the other? In exploring six significant feats of arms - the war and campaign in which they each occurred, and the factors that determined their precise form and course - The Shape of Battle answers these fundamental questions about the waging of war.Hastings (1066) - everyone knows the date, but not, perhaps, the remarkable strategic background.Towton (1461) - the bloodiest battle to be fought on English soil. Waterloo (1815) - more written about in English than any other but rarely in its true context as the culminating battle in the longest war in ''modern'' times.D-Day (1944) - a battle within a larger operation (''Overlord''), and the longest-planned and most complex ...

Apocalypse of Truth - Jean Vioulac
We inhabit a time of crisis—totalitarianism, environmental collapse, and the unquestioned rule of neoliberal capitalism. Philosopher Jean Vioulac is invested in and worried by all of this, but his main concern lies with how these phenomena all represent a crisis within—and a threat to—thinking itself.         In his first book to be translated into English, Vioulac radicalizes Heidegger’s understanding of truth as disclosure through the notion of truth as apocalypse. This “apocalypse of truth†works as an unveiling that reveals both the finitude and mystery of truth, allowing a full confrontation with truth-as-absence. Engaging with Heidegger, Marx, and St. Paul, as well as contemporary figures including Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Žižek, Vioulac’s book presents a subtle, masterful exposition of his analysis before culminating in a powerful vision of “the abyss of the deity.†Here, Vioulac articulates a portrait of Christianity as a religion of mourning, waiting for a god who has already passed by, a form of ever-present eschatology whose end has always already taken place. With a preface by Jean-Luc Marion, Apocalypse of Truth presents a major contemporary French thinker to English-speaking audiences for the first time. Â

Truth or Dare - Nadia Kabir Barb
''Right now, someone else''s life was in his hands. He couldn''t say whether it was a few seconds or minutes that they both stood staring at each other, but he had never been so scared in his life.''In Truth or Dare we follow, spell-bound, as chance encounters bring violent pasts roaring into the present; we wait on tenterhooks as a woman sits by her husband''s hospital bed as both their lives hang in the balance; we watch anxiously as a homeless man begs a woman with her life and career stretching ahead of her not to jump to her death.By turns comedic, heart-wrenching and moving, these stories paint powerful pictures of pain, love and empathy, and celebrate the power we have over one another. From the rain-soaked waterways of London to the bustling streets of Dhaka, Truth or Dare is a stunning collection that spans two continents and sees the best and worst in both.

John Singer Sargent: His Life and Works in 500 Images - Susie Hodgeová
An American who spent most of his life in Europe, a portraitist who painted landscapes, a family man who never married, and an accomplished pianist who often entertained his sitters, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) was one of the most influential portrait painters of his time, but he is also an enigma. Despite his huge body of work, we know little about Sargent the man. Truly international, he was acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic, and was close friends with many of the leading artists, writers, actors and musicians of his generation. Over the course of his career, Sargent created roughly 900 oil paintings, more than 2,000 watercolours and a vast number of sketches and charcoal drawings. He travelled extensively, to Venice, the Tyrol, Capri, Corfu, Spain, France, England, Holland, the Middle East, Canada and across America. Wherever he went, he captured the people and the surroundings. Using the fluid brushwork that had been introduced by his friends the Impressionists, his portraits are intimate and experimental, conveying both superficial appearances and psychological depths, and his landscapes are atmospheric and immediate. Sargent was in constant demand for his portraits, and during his lifetime he was perceived as a far more significant ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Munch and his World
The art of Edvard Munch is striking for the originality and universality of its themes, which cross moments in place and time. Yet he was very much an artist of the nineteenth century, and the focus of this publication is to show how especially in his prints and photographs Munch was enabled by technical advances developed by his contemporaries to create an entirely new visual language. Munch is probably best known for his desire to express emotions surrounding love, illness, and death. However, the authors in this volume show that this preoccupation was not only based on biographical events but reflects wider contemporary debates on developments in medicine and science, including treatment of mental illness, as well as a proliferation of technical expertise in the production of prints.The arguments presented expand on subjects touched upon in the critically acclaimed British Museum exhibition ''Edvard Munch: love and angst'' (2019). MunchÂ’s remarkable prints were fundamental to establishing his international career, but there remains much to investigate in connection with the background to his innovatory techniques, his relationship with contemporary printmakers and his experiments with photography. The authors in this volume go some way to address these themes and outline future avenues of ... Unknown localization key: "more"
