Appeasing Hitler: Chamberlain, Churchill and the Road to War - Bouverie Tim

Appeasing Hitler: Chamberlain, Churchill and the Road to War - Bouverie Tim
Detail

On a wet afternoon in September 1938, Neville Chamberlain stepped off an aeroplane and announced that his visit to Hitler had averted the greatest crisis in recent memory. It was, he later assured the crowd in Downing Street, 'peace for our time'. Less than a year later, Germany invaded Poland and the Second World War began.This is a vital new history of the disastrous years of indecision, failed diplomacy and parliamentary infighting that enabled Nazi domination of Europe. Drawing on previously unseen sources, it sweeps from the advent of Hitler in 1933 to the beaches of Dunkirk, and presents an unforgettable portrait of the ministers, aristocrats and amateur diplomats whose actions and inaction had devastating consequences.

The War on the West : How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason - Douglas Murray

Detail

In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is a history of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it? It's become, he explains, perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some of it is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress, and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy. In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows how many well-meaning people have been lured into protests and polarisation by such lies and hypocrisy. A blistering and important polemic, Murray's latest book carefully and methodically shows how far political discourse has strayed in Europe and America from its stated goals: justice and equality. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and activism, towards a clarion call for the defence of enlightenment values, The War on the West is one of the most important books for a generation, cementing Murray as one of the world's foremost political writers.

Bismarck´s War: The Franco-Prussian War and the Making of Modern Europe - Chrastil Rachel

Detail

Less than a month after it marched into France in summer 1870, the Prussian army had devastated its opponents, captured Napoleon III and wrecked all assumptions about Europe's pecking order. Other countries looked on in helpless amazement. Pushing aside further French resistance, a new German Empire was proclaimed (as a deliberate humiliation) in the Palace of Versailles, leaving the French to face civil war in Paris, reparations and the loss of Alsace and Lorraine.Bismarck's War tells the story of one of the most shocking reversals of fortune in modern European history. The culmination of a globally violent decade, the Franco-Prussian War was deliberately engineered by Bismarck, both to destroy French power and to unite Germany. It could not have worked better, but it also had lurking inside it the poisonous seeds of all the disasters that would ravage the twentieth century.Drawing on a remarkable variety of sources, Chrastil's book explores the military, technological, political and social events of the war, its human cost and the way that the sheer ferocity of war, however successful, has profound consequences for both victors and victims.

The War of the Worlds and The War in the Air - Herbert George Wells

Detail

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Andrew Frayn, Lecturer in Twentieth-Century Literature and Culture at Edinburgh Napier University.In these two compelling novels H.G. Wells imagines terrifying futures in which civilisation itself is threatened.The narrator of The War of the Worlds is quick to discover that what appeared to be a falling star was, in fact, a metallic cylinder landing from Mars. Six million people begin to flee London in panic as tentacled invaders emerge and overpower the city. With their heat-ray, killing machines, black gas, and a taste for fresh human blood, is there anything that can be done to stop the Martians?In The War in the Air, naive but resourceful Bert Smallways is thrilled by speed and fascinated by the new flying machines. His curiosity sweeps him away by accident into a German plan to conquer America, beginning with the destruction of New York. The ease of movement in aerial warfare means that nothing and nobody is safe as Total War erupts, civilisation crumbles, and Bert's hopes of getting back to London to marry his love seem impossibly distant.

The War in South Africa - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - e-kniha

Detail

eBook: Published in 1902, ‘The War in South Africa’ is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s account of the Boer War. Keen to play his part, Doyle enlisted as a doctor after being turned down by the Imperial Yeomanry. Naturally skewed towards British interests and beliefs of the time, it is an account which wholly overlooks the atrocities committed by the British, and so is a less than accurate reflection of the war. A historical eyewitness account from one of the best known authors of the time. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Shadowplay: Behind the Lines and Under Fire : The Inside Story of Europe´s Last War (Defekt) - Tim Marshall

Detail

The last of the devastating series of conflicts resulting from the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, the Kosovo War saw more than 13,500 fatalities, with reports of atrocities, amid controversial intervention and bombing by NATO. Twenty years have passed since the war’s end on 11 June 1999, yet Kosovo’s status remains uncertain and questions remain about the possibility of future conflict on European soil. Tim Marshall, then diplomatic editor at Sky News, was on the ground covering the war. This is his captivating account of how events unfolded, exploring the inside story of the way MI6 and the CIA helped the Serbian people to overthrow Slobodan Milosevic, the president of Yugoslavia. It is also a thrilling journalistic memoir, revealing key strategic insights that went on to shape the ideas behind the million-copy international and no.1 Sunday Times bestseller Prisoners of Geography. Drawing on personal experience, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with intelligence officials from five countries, this is the definitive account of one of the major events in recent geopolitical history, the repercussions of which continue to be felt today.

The Good Soldier Svejk : And His Fortunes in the World War - Jaroslav Hašek

Detail

About The Good Soldier Svejk and His Fortunes in the World WarJaroslav Hašek’s black satire, the inspiration for such works as Joseph Heller’s Catch-22Good-natured and garrulous, Švejk becomes the Austro-Hungarian army’s most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of the First World War – although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. Playing cards, getting drunk and becoming a general nuisance, the resourceful Švejk uses all his natural cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the doctors, police, clergy and officers who chivvy him towards battle. The story of a ‘little man’ caught in a vast bureaucratic machine, The Good Soldier Švejk combines dazzling wordplay and piercing satire to create a hilariously subversive depiction of the futility of war. Cecil Parrott’s vibrant, unabridged and unbowdlerized translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing Hašek’s turbulent life as an anarchist, communist and vagranty, and the Everyman character of Švejk. This edition also includes a guide to Czech names, maps and original illustrations by Josef Ladas.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

First to Fight : The Polish War 1939 - Roger Moorhouse

Detail

Drawing for the first time on Polish, German and Soviet sources, First to Fight is the definitive history of the German invasion of Poland, which opened the war in September 1939. Roger Moorhouse provides a dramatic narrative of military events, brought to life by a select cast of generals and politicians, soldiers and civilians from all sides. In the process, First to Fight explodes many of the myths that still surround the campaign and challenge our understanding of how Britain and France entered the war. Did Britain and France assist their Polish ally to the best of their abilities when the German armies crossed the border on 1 September 1939? While they went to war with Germany, why did they not declare war on the Soviet Union when its troops invaded Poland from the east later in the month? And if the violation of Poland had been the reason to go to war in 1939, how could the Western Allies justify handing the country over on a plate to Stalin in 1945? Published to tie in with the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War, First to Fight explodes many of the myths around what is a shameful chapter in both British and French history, and forensically examines a pivotal moment in the war's history.

Problematika kulturního dědictví ve vazbě na rozvojové strategie, je téma diskutované ekonomy více než historiky.

Coming of Age in the War on Terror - Abdel-Fattah Randa

Detail

We now have a generation - Muslim and non-Muslim - who has grown up only knowing a world at war on terror, and who has been socialised in a climate of widespread Islamophobia, surveillance and suspicion.In Coming of Age in the War on Terror, award-winning writer Randa Abdel-Fattah interrogates the impact of all this on young people's political consciousness and their trust towards adults and the societies they live in. Drawing on local interviews but global in scope, this book is the first to examine the lives of a generation for whom the rise of the far-right and the growing polarisation of politics seem normal. It's about time we hear what they have to say.'As one of Australia's most compelling cultural critics, Abdel-Fattah curates a precise and substantive account of the impact of 'terrorist discourse' on an entire generation. With heartbreaking pathos, she invites us into the minds and hearts of a generation of thoughtful and intelligent young Muslim and non-Muslim Australians from diverse social backgrounds. This ambitious project, comparable in its breadth to Ghassan Hage's seminal White Nation, is part cultural memoir, part empirical research essay and part historical record. Excoriating the hypocrisy of neoliberal social interventionist policies, Abdel-Fattah has given us a rich and important work, as moving in its sincerity as it is unprecedented in its scope.' - Daniel Nour, Books+Publishing'Randa Abdel-Fattah's compelling work reminds us that the way the global War on Terror has been prosecuted lands like blows across the backs of Muslim communities - it is in the everyday, the mundane, but also in the structures of state. The book should be praised for its depth and breadth of insights into Australia, as we see contemporary Islamophobia in the shade of the War on Terror revealed.' - Dr Asim Qureshi, Research Director, CAGE (UK) and author of A Virtue of Disobedience (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The Fix : How Nations Survive and Thrive in a World in Decline - Jonathan Tepperman
Detail

Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2016 The world's most intractable problems solved: ambitious lessons in leadership and hope from free-thinkers and innovators who have tackled our biggest challenges From immigration reform to energy resources, from political paralysis to inequality and extremism, we are beset by a raft of huge and seemingly insurmountable issues. The daily newspapers, the rolling 24-hour television news, portray a world in terminal decline. What goes under-reported are the success stories. Here, taking ten of the most knotty issues we face today, Jonathan Tepperman examines unsung individuals' bold and innovative attempts against all odds and expectations to solve some of the important problems governments have struggled with for decades. Each chapter tells the story of one government that's found a way to avoid the snares that entangle most of the others. The solutions described in the book aren't speculative: they've all already been tried, and they work. Controversial, provocative but always stimulating, Tepperman here offers a powerful, data-driven case for optimism. Written with flair and an infectious exuberance, The Fix is a book to restore hope to the pessimistic, and offer both practical advice and inspiration in a time of relentless bad news.

Myslím, že fotografie Hany Jakrlové ukazují dobře nejen ohromnou různorodost našeho kontinentu, ale že je v nich přítomna i velká škála existenciálních situací, od naděje přes nudu, tíseň a bolest až k prchavé radosti. Líbí se mi, jak se tu znovu a znovu vrací motiv zdí, skel, průhledů, průchodů a výkladů. Ano, to je náš dnešní svět. Václav Havel, Praha 2006 Moje cesta Evropou byla vším: seznámením se sousedy, průzkumem tritoria, návštěvou i útěkem. Byla poutí za bodem nula, v němž je důležité všechno a nic. Evropa "na východ od ráje", v níž jsem strávila první polovinu svého života, byla v mnoha ohledech surreálným světem za zrcadlem, životem za zdí. Po jejím pádu přestal mít domov pevné a nepřekročitelné hranice. Na svých toulkách "novou Evropou" jsem zakoušela rozjitřenost člověka, který se rozhodl po nějakou dobu žít v cizím městě. Má cesta byla hrou i bojem s démony. Přitahována někdy půvabem, jindy ošklivostí, prožívalal jsem v Moskvě stejně jako v Amsterodamu svůj evropský příběh na scéně končícího a nového milénia. Byla jsem sama sebou, a zároveň kýmkoli: jako polský poutník s Santiagu de Comostela, anglický obchodník v Praze či bosenský emigrant v Berlíně, byla jsem i já hybatelem svého světa a zároveň nepatrnou součástí měnících se dějin. Tato kniha je zprávou z onoho osobního i kontinentálnícho mezičasu. Hana Jakrlová (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Publikace shrnuje příspěvky z mezinárodního workshopu konaného v listopadu 2011 v Praze. Seminář se zabýval tématem šoa/holokaustu v literatuře, v divadle a filmu v padesátých a šedesátých letech.

Small Towns in Europe in the 20th and 21st Centuries. - Luďa Klusáková - e-kniha
Detail

eBook:,Malá města v Evropě ve dvacátém a na počátku jedenadvacátého století jsou v historickém výzkumu opomíjená. Problematika kulturního dědictví ve vazbě na rozvojové strategie, je téma diskutované ekonomy více než historiky. Kolektivní monografie věnovaná fenoménu malého města, jenž má v Evropě specifickou, byť regionálně velmi diverzifikovanou podobu, se zaměřila na problémy, které řeší ve druhé polovině dvacátého a v první dekádě jednadvacátého století. Města nevýznamná, uprostřed zemědělského venkova či na periferii metropolí, se snaží najít motivaci k překonání ekonomických a sociálních problémů. V pěti kapitolách knihy autorky a autoři sledují malá města v několika málo evropských zemích a analyzují, jak lidé, kteří o městech rozhodují, architekti a urbanisté, přemýšleli o městě a organizovali prostor malých měst. Jedna z cest, kterou města využívají, vede přes zhodnocení kulturního dědictví a jeho využití jako nástroje k motivaci svého rozvoje. Tito lidé chtějí upozornit na své město a učinit z něj centrum regionálního rozvoje. Způsob využívání kulturního dědictví je velmi rozmanitý, jak dokazují výsledky výzkumu badatelů různých oborů. V mezinárodním autorském týmu najdou čtenáři historiky a historičky, sociology, architektky i historika umění, kteří spolupracují v Evropské asociaci pro urbánní historii. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The Dream of Europe : Travels in a Troubled Continent - Mak Geert

Detail

How did the great European dream turn sour? And where do we go from here?From the author of the internationally acclaimed In Europe, a stunning history of our present, examining the first two decades of this most fragile and fraught new millennium.The great European project was built out of a common desire for peace, prosperity and freedom; a wish for a united Europe striving towards a common goal. The EU was to set an example: an arena for close cooperation, tackling crucial shared concerns from climate change to organized crime, promoting open borders and social security.But the first two turbulent decades of this century have been times of rapid and profound change. From the shores of Lampedusa to Putin's Moscow, the continent threatens to tear itself apart. What's happened to Europe's optimism and euphoria? How has it given way to nostalgia, frustration and fear, the fragile European dream in danger of turning into a nightmare?In The Dream of Europe, Geert Mak, one of Europe's best-loved commentators, charts the seismic events that have shaped people's lives over the past twenty years. Mak's monumental book In Europe defined the continent on the verge of a new millennium. The Dream of Europe brings us up to the present day, through the rocky expansion of the EU, the aftermath of 9/11 and terrorist attacks across Europe, the 2008 financial crash and the euro crisis, the tragedy of the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean, the rise of right-wing populism and Brexit.Like no other, Mak blends history, politics and culture with the stories and experiences of the many Europeans he meets on his travels. He brings this continent to life, and asks what role does Europe play now, and how might we face our challenges together, in the spirit of solidarity and connection. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism in the Avant-Garde and Modernism. The Impact of the First World War - Vojtěch Lahoda, Lidia Głuchowska

Detail

Kniha představuje výsledky široce koncipovaného vědeckého výzkumu, který byl v souvislosti s výročím začátku 1. světové války realizován nejen ve střední Evropě, ale i v Gruzii, Skandinávii nebo pobaltských zemích. Ukazuje proměny nacionalistické rétoriky v politických a estetických diskurzech v souvislostech se změnou mapy Evropy v roce 1918 a vznikem nových států. Z různých pohledů kniha sleduje, jakými způsoby byl poválečný moderní vizuální jazyk šířen mimo tradiční centra a jakou roli přitom sehrála mezinárodní avantgardní síť, cirkulace moderních časopisů a další aspekty. Zásadním vědeckým přínosem je narušení tradiční představy, vytvořené v západním diskursu dějin umění a založené na černobílém rozdělení na národní, oficiální ideologii mladých států a mezinárodní utopické programy světa "bez hranic". Autoři knihy na různých příkladech přesvědčivě ukazují, že umělci, poháněni vlasteneckým étosem, často následovali obě myšlenky paralelně nebo v různých fázích jejich života. Návraty k národně koncipovaným programům v zemích, které vyvstaly na troskách Rakousko-Uherské monarchie, jsou inovativně interpretovány jako efektivní strategie preferující nejednoznačné umělecké projevy, usilující uplatnit se v každodenním životě a odpovídající specifickým sociálně-ekonomickým potřebám dotyčných států. Představením "neznámého" umění a uměleckých manifestů ze sousedních zemí publikace otevírá nové obzory a vybízí další badatele k rekonstruování vlastní i globální kulturní historie v horizontální perspektivě, bez nacionalistických přístupů.

Aspects of Genres in the Holocaust Literatures in Central Europe / Die Gattungsaspekte der Holocaustliteratur in Mitteleuropa - Jiří Holý

Detail

Kniha navazuje na předchozí vydané publikace z mezinárodních workshopů věnovaných tematice holokaustu v literatuře, divadle a filmu ve střední Evropě. Tematikou dosud posledního workshopu, konaného v Praze v květnu 2014, byly možnosti a limity literární reprezentace holokaustu. Zvláštní pozornost byla přitom věnována problematice literárních druhů a žánrů. Některé příspěvky se zabývaly těmito otázkami v obecnější a širší perspektivě (Markus Roth, Bartłomiej Krupa, Anna Maria Skibska a Charlotte Kitzinger). Jiné se věnovaly jednotlivým druhům a žánrům (román, poezie, divadlo, film, komiks), specifické literární a umělecké prezentaci šoa (postholokaustová generace, autenticita versus fikce, kontext feminismu, komedie). Zaměřily se na tvorbu jednoho autora (Hana Hříbková, Šárka Sladovníková, Jiří Holý, Agata Firlej, Reinhard Ibler, Małgorzata Balcerzak, Štěpán Balík), případně na několik autorů spojených tematicky, žánrově nebo časově (Aleksandra Bąk-Zawalski, Hans-Christian Trepte, Elisa-Maria Hiemer, Marija Sruk, Urszula Kowalska). Texty vycházejí v německém a anglickém jazyce ve spolupráci s Centrem pro studium holokaustu a židovské literatury a Pražským centrem židovských studií FF UK za přispění Česko-německého fondu budoucnosti.

How We Understand the Beats: The Reception of the Beat Generation in the United States and the Czech (978-80-210-9048-4)
Detail

Kniha - autor Antonín Zita, 202 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Kniha se zabývá srovnáním recepce autorů Beat Generation v USA a v Česku, a to ve dvou časových obdobích - v 50. a 60. letech 20. století a poté od 90. let až do současnosti. Zatímco samotné publikace Beat Generation autorů zůstaly nezměněné, kontexty těchto publikací byly zásadně odlišné: v USA byla díla autorů Beat Generation často redukována senzacechtivými kritiky na nevyzrálé vychvalování drog, sexu i násilí, v Československu naopak tito autoři získali přízeň čtenářů díky neobvyklosti svého literárního jazyka, kterou jejich próza a poezie představovaly na literárním trhu značně pokřiveném tezemi socialistického realismu. Tato studie tedy dokládá, jak mohou odlišné kontexty ovlivnit přístup čtenářů k literárnímu textu a jejich autorům, což ve výsledku pomáhá přeměnit daný text na odlišné umělecké dílo. (alza.cz)

Politicization in the Natural Gas Sector in South-Eastern Europe: Thing of the Past or Vivid Present? - Jirušek Martin - e-kniha
Detail

eBook:,Zhoršení vztahů mezi Ruskem a západními zeměmi v uplynulých deseti letech provázelo mimo jiné i vzájemné obviňování z politizace energetických dodávek. Rusko je v tomto smyslu nejčastěji obviňováno spotřebitelskými zeměmi, že dodávky energetických surovin zneužívá jako nátlakového nástroje k dosažení svých zahraničněpolitických cílů. Nejvyhrocenější spory se v tomto ohledu odehrály v souvislosti s přerušením dodávek ruského zemního plynu, které v lednu 2009 významně dopadlo zejména na region jihovýchodní Evropy. Dopad na státy v této části kontinentu byl tvrdý s ohledem na jejich závislost na energetických importech a struktuře ekonomiky. Autor v této knize odpovídá na otázku, zda Ruská federace skutečně zneužívá plynové dodávky jako mocenský nástroj a za jakých podmínek takovéto zneužití hrozí. Na případech 13 zemí zkoumá, na kolik Rusko skrze státem vlastněnou ruskou společnost Gazprom a její dceřiné společnosti jedná dle tzv. strategického přístupu k energetice, tj. zda tyto společnosti fungují jako nástroje ruské zahraniční politiky.
