Hitler's Italian Allies: Royal Armed Forces, Fascist Regime, and the War of 1940-43
ISBN: 9780521747134 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explains why the Italian armed forces and Fascist regime were so remarkably ineffectual at an activity-war-that was central to their existence. Italy's economic fragility, Mussolini's strategic-ideological fantasies, and Hitler's failure in the wider war made Italy's ruin inevitable, but did not determine its peculiarly undignified character. Hitler's Italian Allies demonstrates the extent to which Italian military culture-a concept with applications far beyond Fascist Italy-made humiliation inescapable. It offers a striking portrait of a military and industrial establishment...

To the Threshold of Power, 1922/33: Origins and Dynamics of the Fascist and National Socialist Dictatorships
ISBN: 9780521703291 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. To the Threshold of Power is the first volume of a two-part work that seeks to explain the origins and dynamics of the Fascist and National Socialist dictatorships. It lays a foundation for understanding the Nazi and Fascist regimes from their respective seizures of power in 1922 and 1933 to global war, genocide, and common ruin through parallel investigations of Italian and German society, institutions, and national myths; the supreme test of the First World War; and the post-1918 struggles from which the Fascist and National Socialist movements emerged. It emphasizes two principal sources...

Common Destiny: Dictatorship, Foreign Policy, and War in Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany
ISBN: 9780521747172 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a genuinely comparative analysis of the dictatorships that launched the Second World War: their origins, nature, dynamics, and common ruin. It provides an unconventional and compelling overview from territorial unification in the 1860s to national catastrophe in 1943/45 that places Fascism and Nazism firmly in the tradition of revolutionary mass politics inaugurated in the French Revolution. Set within that overview are chapters analyzing Mussolini's poorly understood foreign policy and the character and performance of the military instruments upon which success chiefly...

The Dynamics of Military Revolution, 1300-2050
ISBN: 9780521800792 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Dynamics of Military Revolution bridges a major gap in the emerging literature on revolutions in military affairs. It suggests that two very different phenomena have been at work over the past centuries: "military revolutions," which are driven by vast social and political changes, and "revolutions in military affairs," which military institutions have directed, although usually with great difficulty and ambiguous results. MacGregor Knox and Williamson Murray provide a conceptual framework and historical context for understanding the patterns of change, innovation, and adaptation that...

Essays Ancient and Modern
ISBN: 9780801841071 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Linked by the events of Bernard Knox's remarkable life, the twenty-five chapters of "Essays Ancient and Modern" cover subjects ranging from Hesiod, Homer, and Thucydides to Auden, Forster, and the Spanish Civil War. With a masterful eye for the telling detail, Knox continually reminds us that we share the present with antiquity's living past. A soldier in Italy finds a battered book in the rubble of a bombed-out firehouse-- and opens it to read Virgil's denunciation of war. An illiterate Greek bard composes a garbled Homeric song to celebrate the recent heroism of local partisans. A traveler...

The Norton Book of Classical Literature
ISBN: 9780393034264 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 872 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The literature of the classical world that has survived is a pitiful remnant of what once existed...". So begins Bernard Knox's preface to an anthology that introduces the modern reader to the enormous breadth and rich variety of that "pitiful remnant" - the foundation of Western literature and culture, the inspiration for writers from Dante to Shakespeare to T. S. Eliot. However much - or little - of it we may have read, classical literature has shaped our world and how we perceive it. Yet for most of us classical writing is little more than a narrow circle of legendary figures. The names...

Oedipus at Thebes: Sophocles Tragic Hero and His Time
ISBN: 9780300074239 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this widely praised book, an eminent classicist examines Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus in the context of fifth-century B.C. Athens. In attempting to discover what the play meant to Sophocles' contemporaries--and in particular in disentangling Sophocles' ideas from Freud's psychoanalytical interpretations--Bernard Knox casts fresh light on its timeless and universal nature. For this edition, Knox has provided a new preface and a list of suggested readings.
"What a joy it is to welcome this book back in print. As perennial as Sophocles' great play itself, Knox's work has never gone... In this widely praised book, an eminent classicist examines Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus in the context of fifth-century B.C. Athens. In attempt...

The Oldest Dead White European Males: And Other Reflections on the Classics
ISBN: 9780393312331 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Should the ancient Greeks "the oldest dead white European males" be kept alive in our collective memory? Why study them at all if, by passing their destructive ideas to the Romans and eventually to the rest of Europe, they may ultimately be responsible for much of what s wrong with American society? In this supremely lucid and elegant book (The New Yorker), Bernard Knox poses and answers such fundamental questions, helping us to remember the astonishing originality of the ancient Greeks and all that we have learned and continue to learn from them."
