The Secret War - Anthony Tucker-Jones
Written by British former intelligence officer, Anthony Tucker-Jones, this fascinating, illustrated guide takes a deep dive into the secret operations which shaped World War II. Most of the great military campaigns and breakthroughs of World War II would not have been successful without the efforts of teams of people working unsung and undercover. The codebreakers of Bletchley Park cracked codes that allowed for the interception and exploitation of German intelligence but many took the secret of their wartime activities to the grave. Others put their lives on the line to gather information for their countries, infiltrating other nations'' secrets at great personal risk. This fascinating book covers some of the main campaigns carried out by the secret services such as the fabled Operation Mincemeat, and others, such as Operation Fortitude, carried out in support of D-Day. It also looks at the case of the fifth columnists and stories of double agents such as Agent GARBO.Illustrated throughout with black and white photography, this is a compelling read for anyone fascinated by espionage and wartime intelligence.

Rhineland - Anthony Tucker-Jones
A dramatic retelling of the desperate battle of the Rhineland during World War II from the German perspective.The Rhineland was where Adolf Hitler sowed the seeds for the Second World War when he remilitarized it in breach of the Treaty of Versailles in 1936, and by late 1944 the Rhine provided the last major obstacle to the advancing Allied armies that were threatening the Fatherland itself.In this new history of this vital campaign, respected military historian Anthony Tucker-Jones describes the race against time as the Germans fought to stave off the inevitable. It was essential that the Germans held the west bank in order to protect the Rhine crossings at Cologne, Bonn, Koblenz and Remagen, but Hitler was intent on counter-attacking in the Ardennes in the winter of 1944 and this meant there was little left to bolster the defences of the Rhine.Rhineland relates the course of this desperate defence, describing the build-up of forces and operational plans before going on to tell the story of the campaign from the point of view of the forces involved, from the ordinary German soldier through to the high command.

Bomby nad Bratislavou 1944 - 1945: 70 rokov od tragédie (978-80-7451-397-8)
Kniha - autor Peter Kaššák; Pavol Kršák; Ľuboš Tupý, 192 stran, slovensky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Územie Bratislavy zasiahlo počas druhej svetovej vojny až šesť náletov amerických a dvoch náletov sovietskych leteckých síl. Najznámejšie je hneď to prvé americké: dňa 16. júna 1944 lietadlá USAAF zbombardovali rafinériu Apollo, pričom zasiahli aj viaceré ďalšie oblasti mesta.

„I vy jste v tomhle pekle?“: Vzpomínky na neblahé roky 1944–1945 (978-80-7474-254-5)
Kniha - autor Alžběta Sommerová Lefkovitsová, 120 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Vzpomínky Alžběty Sommerové Lefkovitsové zachycují poslední válečné roky 1944-1945, v nichž byla autorka se svými nejbližšími stižena rasovou persekucí kvůli svému židovskému původu. Do podzimu 1944 žila rodina v Prešově poměrně chráněna díky tomu, že paní Lefkovitsová byla povoláním lékárnice, a spadala tak do kategorie tzv. hospodářsky důležitých Židů. Po potlačení Slovenského národního povstání bylo vše rázem jinak. Autorka začala zaznamenávat své zážitky až na popud svých dospívajících vnuků v roce 1986 a nejdříve je rozšířila jen mezi své přátele a známé, k prvnímu vydání došlo v roce 1994 ve Švýcarsku. Vzpomínky velmi hutným a přesným způsobem mapují život jedné rodiny na slovensko-maďarském území, popisují snahy o záchranu dětí a jejich ukrývání, rodinné poměry, osudy jednotlivých členů rodiny, pak zatčení a transport, život v koncentračním táboře Ravensbrück...

Deníky Ondřeje Sekory 1944–1945 (978-80-259-0546-3)
Kniha - autor Ondřej Sekora, 144 stran, česky, brožovaná s přebalem matná Ondřej Sekora, nezaměnitelný spisovatel a ilustrátor knih pro děti i dospělé, jeden ze zakladatelů českého komiksu, byl nucen na základě nacistických zákonů nastoupit na konci války do pracovního tábora v Německu. Později se k této neblahé epizodě svého života nerad vracel, ale za pobytu v pracovních lágrech v letech 1944 a 1945 si psal deník slovem i obrazem. Vzniklo tak jedinečné svědectví z méně známých pracovních táborů v Klein Steinu a Osterode, jedinečné právě v propojení Sekorových satirických kreseb s věcnými záznamy života v táboře, který si autor zpestřoval humornými poznámkami a glosami. Právě oba deníky, které vycházejí knižně poprvé, jsou klíčem k Sekorově poválečnému levicovému postoji, k jeho snaze distancovat se od své prvorepublikové minulosti i k jeho rostoucímu odporu k jakémukoli násilí. Civilnost a všednost Sekorových záznamů je někdy téměř šokující, někdy úsměvná...

Battle for the Museum - Rachel Spence
Culture and power have been bedfellows since ancient times. But now, more than ever, exhibits and the organizations responsible for them have become part of our troubled politics. Protests force out problematic patrons and curators, and pressure museums to abandon fossil fuel sponsorship. Campaigners demand equality and diversity, and condemn exploitation, of artists and staff alike. Those confronting racism and imperial legacies call for restitution of cultural objects. Arts journalist Rachel Spence has watched these institutions become a flashpoint for today''s social divisions. She interviews those on the frontlines, from artists and activists to directors and donors, revealing stories of elitism, inequality and injustice. Business and finance launder their reputations through art fair and museum patronage, while governments bolster their authority by weaponizing or attacking the arts-and ordinary museumgoers mobilize to demand better. How did we get here, and what lies ahead for these institutions? From China and Russia to Cuba and New York, from the British Museum and the Louvre to the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi, Battle for the Museum uncovers a dark nexus of capital, culture and power-and a radical shift in attitudes, driven by resistance movements fighting fiercely for exhibition spaces that serve today''s public.

The Grand Budapest Hotel - Anderson Wes
The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the two World Wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, a raging battle for an enormous family fortune, and the sweetest confection of a love affair – all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.With sparkling dialogue, arresting visuals, vibrant charm, and a slowly building melancholy, The Grand Budapest Hotel is both sophisticated comedy and historical pastiche, the portrait of a hero (of sorts) in a dazzling but vanishing world.In addition to the screenplay, this volume also contains a gallery of images from the film.

The Battle for Kyiv - Christopher A Lawrence
On 24 February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an attack on Ukraine, marking the most significant European conflict since World War II. The invasion aimed to capture Kyiv and replace President Zelenskyy with a puppet regime, but the Russians faced fierce Ukrainian resistance, forcing them to retreat and re-direct their efforts to other fronts. The Battle of Kyiv chronicles the Ukrainians’ heroic resilience against a vastly more powerful enemy. Despite Russia’s population and economic superiority, Ukraine’s military, bolstered by NATO and international support, held its ground. The book details the early phase of the war, when Russian forces pushed toward Kyiv, surrounded cities like Chernihiv, seized Kherson, and threatened the Ukrainian state. U.S. intelligence predicted Kyiv’s fall within days and offered to evacuate Zelenskyy. His response: “I need ammunition, not a ride.â€The book covers the fighting in Kyiv, Kherson, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Mariupol, documenting military operations, destruction, civilian suffering, and survival struggles. Written as the battle unfolded, it provides an urgent historical account of the uncertainty, anxiety, and global significance of the war, reflecting the pivotal moments in Ukraine’s defense against the Russian invasion.

The Battle of Manila - Nicholas Evan Sarantakes
A thrilling and in-depth look at the battle for Manila, the third-bloodiest battle of World War II and the culmination point of the war in the Pacific theater.In 1945 the United States and Japan fought the largest and most devastating land battle of their war in the Pacific, a month-long struggle for the city of Manila. The only urban fighting in the Pacific theater, the Battle of Manila was the third-bloodiest battle of World War II, behind Leningrad and Berlin. It was a key piece of the campaign to retake control of the Philippine Islands, which itself signified the culmination of the war, breaking the back of Japanese strategic power and sealing its outcome.In The Battle of Manila, Nicholas Sarantakes offers the first in-depth account of this crucial campaign from the American, Japanese, and, significantly, Filipino perspective. Fighting was building by building, with both sides forced to adapt to the new combat environment. None of the U.S. units that entered Manila had any previous training in urban warfare--yet, Sarantakes shows, they learned on the fly how to use tanks, flamethrowers, air, and artillery assets in support of infantry assaults. Their effective use of these weapons was an important factor in limiting U.S. casualties, even as it may also have contributed to a catastrophic loss of civilian lives.The battle was a strategic U.S. victory, but Sarantakes reveals how closely it hinged upon the interplay between a series of key decisions in both U.S. and Japanese headquarters, and a professional culture in the U.S. military that allowed the Americans to adapt faster and in more ways than their opponents. Among other aspects of the conflict, The Battle of Manila explores the importance of the Filipino guerillas on the ground, the use of irregular warfare, the effective use of intelligence, the impact of military education, and the limits of Japanese resistance. Ultimately, Sarantakes shows Manila to be a major turning in both World War II and American history. Once the United States regained control of the city, Japan was in a checkmate situation. Their defeat was certain, and it was clear that the United States would be the dominate political power in post-war Asia and the Pacific. This fascinating account shines a light on one of the war''s most under-represented and highly significant moments.

Zelení ďáblové 1942 - 1945 (DVD) (papírový obal)
DVD dokumentární film Zelení ďáblové 1942 - 1945. Český dabing. Dolby Digital. Fallschirmjäger. Německé elitní výsadkové jednotky. Fallschirmjäger - německé elitní výsadkové jednotky, které Spojenci nazývali zelenými dábly“ a v Československu je podle slova der Jäger (příslušník elitní pruské pěchoty, ale také myslivec) přezdívali „padákovými myslivci" Jak jste poznali již v prvním dílu, největší operací Zelených ďáblů byla operace Merkur, přepadení a okupace Kréty v květnu 1941. Byla to doba, kdy tehdy jediná (První) divize Fallschirmjäger Luftwaffe a rovněž jediná, 22. vzdušná výsadková divize spadající pod pozemní sily (Heeres) opravdu operovaly ze vzduchu pomocí výsadků a byly vysazovány buď z letadel, jako byl Junkers JU-52, nebo třímotorový Junkers Ju-252 (později JU-352) nebo byly na místo dopravovány pomocí kluzáků tažených za dopravními letadly, jako byl kluzák Gotha, či dokonce Me-321 Gigant pro 200 mužů výsadku, který byl později motorizován jako Me-323 Gigant a se šesti motory uvezł 15 tun nákladu, nebo 140 vojáků. Také ostatní vybavení výsadkářů bylo prvotřídní. Hlavní zbraní se vedle samopalu MP-40 stala od roku 1943 takzvaná výsadkářská puška (Fallschirmjägergewehr) FG-42, předobraz dnešních univerzálních automatických zbraní, k dopravě były užívány motocykly BMW R-75 s poháněným sidecarem, pásové „motocykly" Kettenkrad, polopásové transportéry Sakíz 250, 251 a 253 v nejrůznějších modifikacích, výsadkář měli ve výzbrojí stíhače tanků, prvotřídní kanony FLAK ráže 88mm v tažené i samohybné verzi a další zbraně a vozidla.Paradesantni jednotky byly Hitlerovou oblíbenou zbrani. Snad pproto po krvavém vítězství na Krété již nedovolil žádnou rozsáhlou vzdušnou výsadkovou operaci, Sešlo i z velké operace Herkules k obsazení Malty, plánované na rok 1942. Postupně se z paradesantních jednotek staly elitní jednotky pěchoty. A jako celé německé ozbrojené síly postupně přestávaly být jednoznačně útočnou silou a stále více se stávaly obránci. Tak výsadkáři bránili německé pozice v Tunisku Casserinském průsmyku, na Sicilii, u Anzia a na Monte Cassinu, v Římě i Toskánsku, v Sovětském svazu u Leningradu, Kijeva a v Bělorusku, v Normandii na poloostrově Cotentin, u Arnhemu ph operaci Market Garden, v ruhrské kapse v Německu, na Rýně u Remagenu a nakonec při marné obraně Berlína, kde byla zničena 9. divize Fallschirmjäger vytvořená v roce 1944 právě k obraně hlavního města a přístupů k němu. A tak od roku 1942 uskutečnily německé paradesantní jednotky jen málo vzdušně-výsadkových operací a to přesto, že byly vytvářeny další vzdušně výsadkové divize Fallschirmjäger - 2. a 4. v roce 1943, 3 .. 5. a 9. v roce 1944 a 10. v roce 1945. Výjimku tvoříl výsadek na řecký ostrov Leros v roce 1943 a zejména osvobození italského diktátora Mussoliniho z internace na hoře Gran Sasso v září 1943, kterému velel na základě výběru samotného Hitlera příslušník SS Otto Skorzeny. K poslednímu vzdušnému výsadku Zelených dáblů došlo při zimní ofenzívě 1944/1945 v Ardenách.

Okinawa 1945 - George Feifer
‘A skilful narrative of combat history … exceedingly vivid.’ – The New York TimesAs the siege of Stalingrad was the ultimate scene of carnage at the Eastern Front, the battle of Okinawa proved to be the bloodiest of the Pacific war. Almost the entire Japanese kamikaze effort of the Second World War was directed against the Americans at Okinawa. At the beginning of the battle on 1 April 1945, over 1 million Americans, Japanese and Okinawans were centred on the small Pacific island; by 23 June, when the Japanese commanders committed seppuku, 250,000 civilians and soldiers were dead. More people died during the battle of Okinawa than in the ensuing bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.Okinawa 1945 offers a stunning account of the last major campaign of the Second World War and the largest land–sea–air engagement. Superbly researched and extraordinarily detailed, Okinawa 1945 is told at the level of the participants themselves, soldiers and civilians alike, with the dramatic stories of three individuals running through the entire account.

Prosecuting the Powerful: War Crimes and the Battle for Justice - Steve Crawshaw
''Prosecuting The Powerful isn''t just compelling and very moving, it has all the force of a well-crafted thriller. I literally couldn''t stop reading it,'' John Simpson, BBC World Affairs Editor''A compelling account of a revolutionary moment in history,'' Philippe Sands, The Spectator ''Powerful, timely and moving,'' Baroness Helena Kennedy KC''A tour de force,'' Lindsey Hilsum, International Editor, Channel 4 News''Absolutely brilliant,'' Nick CohenGuardian Book of the DayCould we ever see Vladimir Putin in the dock for his crimes? What about a Western ally like Benjamin Netanyahu? Putting a country''s leader on trial once seemed unimaginable. But as Steve Crawshaw describes in Prosecuting the Powerful - a blend of powerful eyewitness reporting and gripping history - the possibilities of justice have been transformed.Crawshaw includes recent stories from the front lines of justice in Ukraine, Israel/Palestine and at The Hague, as well as his earlier encounters with war criminals like Slobodan Milošević. He tells the stories of those who have demanded protection for civilians and accountability for war criminals - from the Swiss businessman who is the reason why we have the Geneva Conventions today and the prosecutors at Nuremberg to the Syrian police photographer who helped put one of Bashar al-Assad''s torturers behind bars. He also follows the extraordinary unfolding story of two of the world''s most powerful and well-connected leaders currently under indictment at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. From Gaza to Bucha and beyond, survivors seek justice for the crimes committed against them. But for that to happen, governments must finally abandon their double standards and have the courage to support prosecutions of those who commit atrocities, whether opponents or allies. For all the current darkness, this is a historic opportunity. The scales of justice can and must be balanced. Now is the moment.

Positioning also shows you how to:Use leading ad agency techniques to capture the biggest market share and become a household name Build your strategy around your competition''s weaknesses Reposition a strong competitor and create a weak spot Use your present position to its best advantage Choose the best name for your product Determine when-and why-less is more Analyze recent trends that affect your positioning.

The Battle for Spain - Antony Beevor
The bestselling author of STALINGRAD and BERLIN: THE DOWNFALL on the Spanish Civil War, drawing on masses of newly discovered material from the Spanish, Russian and German archives.The civil war that tore Spain apart between 1936 and 1939 and attracted liberals and socialists from across the world to support the cause against Franco was one of the most hard-fought and bitterest conflicts of the 20th century: a war of atrocities and political genocide and a military testing ground before WWII for the Russians, Italians and Germans, whose Condor Legion so notoriously destroyed Guernica.Antony Beevor''s account narrates the origins of the Civil War and its violent and dramatic course from the coup d''etat in July 1936 through the savage fighting of the next three years which ended in catastrophic defeat for the Republicans in 1939. And he succeeds especially well in unravelling the complex political and regional forces that played such an important part in the origins and history of the war.

Award-winning New York Times reporters Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang unveil the tech story of our times in this riveting, behind-the-scenes expose that offers the definitive account of Facebook's fall from grace. Once one of Silicon Valley's greatest success stories, for the past five years Facebook has been under constant fire, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users' data, allowing the spread of fake news, and the amplification of dangerous, polarising hate speech. In a period of great upheaval, growth has remained the one constant under the leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Each has stood by as their technology is co-opted by hate-mongers, criminals and corrupt political regimes across the globe, with devastating consequences. In An Ugly Truth, they are at last held accountable.
