The Life & Pontificate of Pope Pius XII: Between History & Controversy
ISBN: 9780813220161 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII, is one of the most studied but least understood popes of the twentieth century while his pontificate remains the most turbulent and controversial. Although there is a general consensus that he faced serious problems during his tenure -- fascist aggression, the Second World War, the Nazi genocide of the Jews, the march of communism, and the Cold War -- there is disagreement on his response to these developments. Applauded by some as an apostle for peace for his attempt to prevent the outbreak of war, he has been denounced by others as an advocate of appeasement...

From Revolutionary Theater to Reactionary Litanies: Gustave Hervé (1871-1944) at the Extremes of the French Third Republic
ISBN: 9781433131004 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 880 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Gustave Herve (1871 1944) seemed to have traditional Breton roots and a typical republican education. As a young socialist journalist and professor, he gained notoriety following a 1901 article which appeared to plant the tricolor in a dung pile. When French socialists unified in 1905, the Herveistes were an influential minority. The antimilitarist movement called Herveism gradually emerged as a quixotic crusade to unite revolutionaries against war and for socialism. Herve soon founded a weekly newspaper, La Guerre Sociale. Over the next six years, press campaigns, trials,...
