Britain's Europe - Brendan Simms
''Dazzling ... a trenchant, provocative account of the intimate relations of Britain and Europe and how each shaped the other'' Prospect Magazine''Elegant, refreshing and wide-ranging ... this is essentially a brief history of the UK but a deliciously different one'' Literary ReviewBritain has always had a tangled, complex, paradoxical role in Europe''s history. It has invaded and been invaded, changed sides, stood aloof, acted with both brazen cynicism and the cloudiest idealism. Every century troops from the British isles have marched across the mainland in pursuit of a great complex of different goals, foremost among them the intertwined defence of parliamentary liberty in Britain and the ''Liberties of Europe''. Dynastically Britain has been closely linked to countries as varied as Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and France.In this bracing and highly enjoyable book, Brendan Simms describes the highlights and low-points in the Euro-British encounter, from the Dark Ages to the present. The critical importance of understanding this history is shown in the final chapter, which dramatizes the issues around British relations with the European Union. Britain''s Europe is a vital intervention for our times.

Hitler - Brendan Simms
SHORTLISTED FOR THE MARK LYNTON HISTORY PRIZE 2020A DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019A revelatory new biography of Adolf Hitler from the acclaimed historian Brendan SimmsAdolf Hitler is one of the most studied men in history, and yet the most important things we think we know about him are wrong. As Brendan Simms''s major new biography shows, Hitler''s main preoccupation was not, as widely believed, the threat of Bolshevism, but that of international capitalism and Anglo-America. These two fears drove both his anti-semitism and his determination to secure the ''living space'' necessary to survive in a world dominated by the British Empire and the United States. Drawing on new sources, Brendan Simms traces the way in which Hitler''s ideology emerged after the First World War. The United States and the British Empire were, in his view, models for Germany''s own empire, similarly founded on appropriation of land, racism and violence. Hitler''s aim was to create a similarly global future for Germany - a country seemingly doomed otherwise not just to irrelevance, but, through emigration and foreign influence, to extinction. His principal concern during the resulting cataclysm was not just what he saw as the clash between German and Jews, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hitler. Nic menšího než celý svět - Brendan Simms
Přestože Adolf Hitler patří k nejlépe prostudovaným postavám historie, v tom nejdůležitějším, co si myslíme, že o něm víme, se mýlíme. Jak vysvětluje Brendan Simms, Hitler se navzdory všeobecně rozšířenému přesvědčení neobával ani tolik bolševismu, jako hrozby mezinárodního kapitalismu a moci angloamerického světa. Z těchto obav pak pramenil jeho antisemitismus i odhodlání zabezpečit Němcům "životní prostor" nezbytný pro přežití ve světě ovládaném Britským impériem a Spojenými státy. Brendan Simms nám s odkazem na nové prameny předkládá, jak se po 1. světové válce formovala Hitlerova ideologie. V jejím pojetí měly být nové Německé říši vzorem Spojené státy a Britské impérium, velmoci, které taktéž získaly svůj vliv pomocí rasismu, násilí a přisvojování si cizí půdy. Hitlerovým cílem bylo zajistit podobnou globální budoucnost i Německu, protože jinak se zdálo odsouzené nejen k bezvýznamnosti, ale kvůli emigraci a zahraničním vlivům i k vymření. Nová kniha Brendana Simmse jako první dopodrobna vysvětluje Hitlerovy názory a ukazuje, že i to nejvražednější chování má, tak jako vždy, svůj prapůvod v ideách.

The Longest Afternoon - Brendan Simms
''A superb little book that is micro-history at its best'' Washington Post''The brevity of this remarkable book belies the amount of work that went into it. One can only marvel at how well Professor Simms has gone through the original sources - the surviving journals, reminiscences and letters of the individual combatants - to produce a coherent and gripping narrative'' Nick Lezard, GuardianThe true story, told minute by minute, of the soldiers who defeated Napoleon - from Brendan Simms, acclaimed author of Europe: The Struggle for SupremacyEurope had been at war for over twenty years. After a short respite in exile, Napoleon had returned to France and threatened another generation of fighting across the devastated and exhausted continent. At the small Belgian village of Waterloo two large, hastily mobilized armies faced each other to decide the future of Europe.Unknown either to Napoleon or Wellington the battle would be decided by a small, ordinary group of British and German troops given the task of defending the farmhouse of La Haye Sainte. This book tells their extraordinary story, brilliantly recapturing the fear, chaos and chanciness of battle and using previously untapped eye-witness reports.

Zápas o evropskou nadvládu - Brendan Simms
Kniha cambridgeského historika Brendana Simmse je široce založenou a erudovanou studií zabývající se vývojem mocenského zápasu o Evropu v celém novověku od pádu Cařihradu do současnosti. Látka je rozvržena do osmi kapitol odpovídajících periodizaci boje o nadvládu nad starým kontinentem a neustálým proměnám mocenských konstelací: Impéria (1453-1648), Nástupnictví (1649-1755), Revoluce (1756-1813), Osamostatňování (1814-1866), Sjednocování (1876-1916), Utopie (1917-1944), Rozdělování (1945-1973), Demokracie (1974-2011). Hlavní tezí knihy je, že v dějinách některé věci navzdory změnám zůstávají stejné, a k nim patří zásadní záležitosti bezpečnosti na našem kontinentu: sen o univerzální říši a ústřední postavení i role Svaté říše římské národa německého a poté Německa spojujícího "jako polovodič" různé složky evropské rovnováhy. Svou práci autor nepovažuje za autoritativní příručku, nýbrž za vodítko ke zkoumání toho, jakým způsobem se podstatné problémy evropského mocenského zápasu řešily v minulosti. Proto také, pojednává-li v závěrečné části práce o dnešku, nekončí žádnými věštbami, ale místo toho raději klade otázky. Přesto ovšem přichází s postřehem, že dnešní Německo stojí před dilematem, zda se má celou svou hospodářskou vahou postavit za pokračující sjednocování Evropy, anebo usilovat o vlastní ekonomickou hegemonii. Simms zároveň tvrdí, že dnešní Evropa se může skutečně sjednotit (podobně jak to alespoň částečně a přechodně činila tváří v tvář ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Who Will Defend Europe? - Keir Giles
Russia is intent on attacking beyond Ukraine. Can Europe defend itself?While Ukraine holds back Russia’s onslaught, Moscow has been working hard at rebuilding its army for the next invasion. But for the past 30 years, Britain and Europe have been running down their armed forces and defence industries, thinking that war would never come.Most of the continent banked an increasingly illusory ‘peace dividend’ while outsourcing defence to the United States. Now, change in the US and clear intent from the Kremlin have set Europe scrambling to rebuild its defences. But will it be enough, and can it be in time?In this urgent, vital book, Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe.If the freedom and prosperity that the continent takes for granted are to be preserved, the sacrifices required will affect everyone, without exception. Above all, Giles calls for new leadership in defence of Europe as the US steps aside—and warns that the UK’s brief opportunity to set the pace has already been squandered.

A History of Britain - Volume 2 - Simon Schama
Simon Schama explores the forces that tore Britain apart during two centuries of dynamic change - transforming outlooks, allegiances and boundaries.From the beginning of July 1637, battles raged on for 200 years - both at home and abroad, on sea and on land, up and down the length of burgeoning Britain, across Europe, America and India. Most would be wars of faith - waged on wide-ranging grounds of political or religious conviction. But as wars of religious passions gave way to campaigns for profit, the British people did come together in the imperial enterprise of ''Britannia Incorporated''.The British Wars is a story of revolution and reaction, inspiration and disenchantment, of progress and catastrophe, and Schama''s evocative narrative brings it vividly to life.

Badvertising - Simms Andrew
Advertising is selling us a dream, a lifestyle. It promises us fulfilment and tells us where to buy it - from international flights to a vast array of goods we consume like there is no tomorrow.The truth is, if advertising succeeds in keeping us on our current trajectory, there may not be a tomorrow. In Badvertising, Andrew Simms and Leo Murray raise the alarm about an industry that is making us both unhealthy and unhappy, and that is driving the planet to the precipice of environmental collapse in the process. What is the psychological impact of being barraged by thousands of prompts to buy things every day? How does the commercialisation of our public spaces weaken our sense of belonging? How are car manufacturers, airlines and oil companies lobbying to weaken climate action? Examining the devastating impact of advertising on our minds and the planet, Badvertising also crucially explores what we can do to change things for the better.

Borstal Boy - Brendan Behan
''I have him bitched, balloxed and bewildered, for there''s a system and a science in taking the piss out of a screw and I''m a well-trained man at it.'' So writes Brendan Behan, poet, writer and literary legend, of the episode that coloured his life. Arrested in Liverpool as an agitator for the IRA, he was tried and sent to reform school. He was sixteen years old. The world he entered was brutal and coldly indifferent. Conditions were primitive, and violence simmered just below the surface. Yet Brendan Behan found something more positive than hate in Borstal: friendship, solidarity and healing flashes of kindness. Extraordinarily vivid, fluent, and moving, this is a superb and unforgettable piece of writing. Borstal Boy was adapted into a film in 2000.

Confessions Of An Irish Rebel - Brendan Behan
The immigration man read my deportation order, looked at it and handed it back to me. ''Are you Irish?'' he asked me. ''No'' I said ''as a matter of fact, I''m Yemenite Arab.'' Two detectives came forward who were evidently there to meet me. ''Apparently he is Brendan Behan,'' they said. The immigration officer shook my hand and his hard face softened. ''Cead mile failte romhat abhaile.'' (A hundred thousand welcomes home to you.) I could not answer. There are no words and it would be impertinence to try. I walked down the gangway. I was free.

Neznášam behanie, pridáte sa? - Brendan Leonard
BRENDAN LEONARD NEZNÁŠA BEH. Neznáša ho tak oduševnene, že sa mu razpodarilo zabehnúť 52 maratónových behov za 52 týždňov.

Nebe patří nám - Koerner Brendan Ian
Bonnie a Clyde v uneseném letadle. Willie Roger Holder a Catherine Marie Kerkowová donutili posádku přeletět Atlantik a přistát i s výkupným v Alžírsku, aby později byli oslavováni francouzskými intelektuály v čele s Jean-Paul Sartrem. Čin frustrovaného veterána z vietnamské války a jeho krásné přítelkyně nebyl ojedinělý, mezi lety 1961 a 1973 bychom ve Spojených státech napočítali více než sto padesát únosů. Reportér Brendan I. Koerner poskládal mozaiku těch nejtypičtějších i nejbizarnějších. Nezůstává ale jen u mistrných popisů různých motivací únosců a jejich proměnlivé úspěšnosti. Sleduje také to, jak zásadně se proměnila letecká doprava. Nastoupit do letadla dnes automaticky znamená řadu bezpečnostních kontrol, přísná pravidla pro příruční zavazadla a zdlouhavé čekání. Nic z toho v šedesátých letech nebylo běžné. Zejména na americké půdě, kde jsou vzdálenosti velké, to byl rychlý - i když drahý - dopravní prostředek, kde bylo možné si koupit letenku na poslední chvíli a přiběhnout na letiště půl hodiny před odletem. Letecké společnosti nechtěly ohrozit své zákazníky ani posádku a vyhověly únoscům ve všem - od výše výkupného po dopravu do zvolené destinace. I tady Koerner zdařile popisuje, jak se střetly ekonomické a bezpečnostní zájmy. Agenti FBI měli na celou věc jiný názor než aerolinky, ale trvalo ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Traitor's Odyssey - Brendan McNally
''A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended.'' Tim Tate, author of Hitler''s British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the Cold ''A captivating page-turner ...'' Helen Fry, author of Women in IntelligenceAmbassador''s daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted. Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitler''s ''New Germany'', befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo. An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt''s inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallace''s disastrous 1948 presidential campaign. Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard. Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Making Sense of a United Ireland - Brendan O'Leary
''Should be required reading for everyone - including unionists - who are interested in and concerned about the fate of this island'' Dublin Review of Books''Compelling'' Financial TimesWill Ireland really reunite?A century ago the resolution to Ireland’s long struggle for independence was a settlement that saw six of its northern counties remain in the United Kingdom while the other twenty-six formed the new Republic of Ireland. Since partition the unification of the two parts of the island has seemed impossible, particularly because of the bloody legacy of past conflict.However, by 2030, if not sooner, demographic and electoral advantages of Ulster unionists, who wish to remain part of the UK, will be over. And in the light of Brexit, the rising popularity of the Irish nationalist party Sinn Féin, political developments both sides of the border, and within Great Britain, Irish unification referendums will become increasingly likely. Yet even those who want these to happen are not prepared.Making Sense of a United Ireland is a landmark exploration of this most contentious of issues. Distinguished political scientist Brendan O''Leary - a global expert on divided places, who has been profoundly engaged with the Irish question for nearly four decades - argues that ...

What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars - Brendan Moynihan, Jim Paul
Jim Paul's meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it all-his fortune, his reputation, and his job-in one fatal attack of excessive economic hubris. In this honest, frank analysis, Paul and Brendan Moynihan revisit the events that led to Paul's disastrous decision and examine the psychological factors behind bad financial practices in several economic sectors. This book-winner of a 2014 Axiom Business Book award gold medal-begins with the unbroken string of successes that helped Paul achieve a jet-setting lifestyle and land a key spot with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It then describes the circumstances leading up to Paul's $1.6 million loss and the essential lessons he learned from it-primarily that, although there are as many ways to make money in the markets as there are people participating in them, all losses come from the same few sources. Investors lose money in the markets either because of errors in their analysis or because of psychological barriers preventing the application of analysis. While all analytical methods have some validity and make allowances for instances in which they do not work, psychological factors can keep an investor in a ... Unknown localization key: "more"
