A new and definitive account of the German invasion of Poland that initiated WWII in 1939, written by a historian at the height of his abilities. Deeply researched, very well-written... This book will be the standard work on the subject for many years to come - Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with DestinyThe Polish campaign is the forgotten story of the Second World War.The war began on 1 September 1939, when German tanks, trucks and infantry crossed the Polish border, and the Luftwaffe began bombing Poland s towns and cities. The Polish army fought bravely but could not withstand the concentrated attack. When the Red Army invaded from the east, the country s fate was sealed.This is the first history of the Polish war for almost half a century. Drawing on letters, memoirs and diaries from all sides, Roger Moorhouse s dramatic account of the military events is entwined with a human story of courage and suffering, and a dark tale of diplomatic betrayal. Important... Moorhouse has a wonderful knack for reminding us about the parts of the Second World War that we are in danger of forgetting Dan Snow** Shortlisted for the Duke of Wellington Medal for Military History 2020 **

Dva nejhorší diktátoři v dějinách spolu bezmála dva roky aktivně spolupracovali. Oznámení dohody mezi nacisty a Sověty ohromilo celý svět, v jejím rámci došlo k invazi do Polska a její zhroucení vedlo k rozhodujícímu střetu druhé světové války. Roger Moorhouse ve své knize tuto kapitolu válečných dějin probírá do hloubky, zkoumá, co vedlo k uzavření paktu i jeho ukončení a vyhlášení války někdejšímu partnerovi. Využívá přitom dobových pramenů i svědectví přímých účastníků. Roger Moorhouse (*1968) je britský historik, specialista na slovanské země a východní Evropu. Už za studií spolupracoval s proslulým Normanem Daviesem, je spoluautorem jeho rozsáhlých dějin Vratislavi, které vyšly i v ČR pod názvem Mikrokosmos: Portrét jednoho středoevropského města. Přispěl do řady kolektivních publikací, Smlouvě s ďáblem předcházely další knihy věnované dějinám druhé světové války - Killing Hitler (2006) a Berlin at War (2010)Vydání knihy podpořilo hlavní město Praha.

Between 1940 and 1943, a small group of Polish diplomats and Jewish activists in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable - and until now, almost completely unknown - humanitarian operation. Under the leadership of the Polish Ambassador, Aleksander Lados, they undertook a systematic programme of forging identity documents for Latin American countries, which were then smuggled into German-occupied Europe to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust. The Lados operation was one of the largest rescue missions of the entire war, and The Forgers tells this extraordinary story for the first time.We follow the desperate bids of Jews to obtain these life-saving documents, and their painful uncertainty over whether they will be granted protection from the Nazis murderous fury. And we witness the quiet heroism of those who decided to act in an attempt to save thousands of lives.

A Times and Waterstones Book of the Year A superb work of history JAMES HOLLAND A thrilling account from a master of Second World War history DAN SNOW A landmark history of the U-Boat war told through the experiences and recollections of the U-Boat crews themselves. Winston Churchill famously remarked that the threat of the German U-Boats was the only thing that had ⠜really frightened⠝ him during World War Two. The U-Boats certainly claimed a bitter harvest among Allied shipping: nearly 3,000 ships were sunk, for a total tonnage of over 14 million tonnes, nearly 70% of Allied shipping losses in all theatres of the war. With justification, then, they are an integral part of the traditional narrative of the Battle of the Atlantic; a story of technological brilliance, dramatic sinkings, life and death, and ⠓ of course ⠓ the sinister, unseen threat of the U-Boats themselves. For Allied seamen during the war, the U-Boat was a hidden menace, a faceless killer lurking beneath the waves; and the urgent needs of survival afforded them little time or energy to consider the challenges and privations of their enemy. History, however, affords us that time and energy, and any pretence of comprehensiveness demands that we consider what life was like for the crews of those most claustrophobic vessels; packed into a steel hull, at the mercy of the enemy, of the elements ⠓ and of basic physics. Germany⠙s U-Boat crews posted the highest per-capita losses of any combat arm during World War Two. Some 30,000 German submariners were killed ⠓ over 75% of the total number deployed ⠓ the vast majority of whom have no grave except the seabed. Using archival sources, unpublished diaries and existing memoir literature, this book will give the U-Boatmen back their voice, allowing their side of the narrative to be aired in a comprehensive manner for the first time. With that testimony, Wolfpack takes the reader from the heady early days of the war, when U-Boat crews were buoyed with optimism about their cause, through to the challenges of meeting the Allied counterthreat, to the final horror of defeat, when their submarines were captured by the enemy or scuttled in ignominy. Using the U-Boatmen⠙s own voices to punctuate an engaging narrative, it tells their story; of courage, certainly, but also of fear, privation and ⠓ ultimately ⠓ failure.

Roger Daltrey is the voice of a generation.That generation was the first to rebel, to step out of the shadows of the Second World War... to invent the concept of the teenager.This is the story from his birth at the height of the Blitz, through tempestuous school days to his expulsion, age 15, for various crimes and misdemeanours within a strict school system. Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his authoritarian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned.But then came rock and roll. He made his first guitar from factory off-cuts. He formed a band. The band became The Who - Maximum R B - and, by luck and by sheer bloody-mindedness, Roger Daltrey became the frontman of one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.This is the story of My Generation, Tommy and Quadrophenia, of smashed guitars, exploding drums, cars in swimming pools, fights, arrests and redecorated hotel rooms.But it is also the story of how that post-war generation redefined the rules of youth. Out of that, the modern music industry was born - and it wasn t an easy birth. Money, drugs and youthful exuberance were a dangerous mix. This is as much a story of survival as it is of success.Four years in the making, this is the first time Roger Daltrey has told his story. It is not just his own hilarious and frank account of more than 50 wild years on the road. It is the definitive story of The Who and of the sweeping revolution that was British rock n roll.

Salah Bachir, who immigrated to Canada from Lebanon in the 1960s, has been a gay activist who has worked in the film world for over four decades. While this has given him undeniable front-row access to Hollywood s biggest stars, it is Salah s personal charm and kindness, his philanthropy, his overall style (think hats, scarves, brooches, pearls, diamonds) and deep involvement in the art world that has made him a friend, companion, confidante, and/or lover to so many - including Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Joan Rivers, Mary Tyler Moore, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Edward Albee, Orson Welles, Aretha Franklin, Norman Jewison, and Elizabeth Taylor - although it s true that Katharine Hepburn once turned him down, very nicely. Collected here in this wonderful book are personal stories of them all - some short, some long, some surprising, others juicy, and all fascinating. Through them we get to know Salah, a larger-than-life character that embodies the many worlds he shapes - the kind of person it would be hard to make up if he didn t already exist.

After the Israeli army bombed his house, pulverising a library he had painstakingly built for community use, he and his family fled for their safety.

Uncannily clear, direct and beautifully tuned, they form one of the most astonishing works of art wrested from wartime. Here are directives for what to do in an air raid and lyrics about the poet⠙s wife, singing to his children to distract them. Huddled in the dark, Abu Toha remembers his grandfather⠙s oranges and his daughter⠙s joy in eating them. Here are poems to introduce readers to his extended family, some of them no longer with us.Moving between glimpses of life in relative peacetime and absurdist poems about surviving in a barely liveable occupation, Forest of Noise invites a wide audience into an experience that defies the imagination ⠔ even as it is watched live.

Discover how to win in any situation using the ancient wisdom of the Shaolin monks. The Shaolin monks in China are legendary for their mastery of kung fu, but the secret to their success – their ability to rise to any challenge, handle stress and overcome conflict – lies not in their physical strength but in their powerful mindset.
