The Blood of Free Men: The Liberation of Paris, 1944
ISBN: 9780465023998 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As the Allies struggled inland from Normandy in August of 1944, the fate of Paris hung in the balance. Other jewels of Europe--sites like Warsaw, Antwerp, and Monte Cassino--were, or would soon be, reduced to rubble during attempts to liberate them. But Paris endured, thanks to a fractious cast of characters, from Resistance cells to Free French operatives to an unlikely assortment of diplomats, Allied generals, and governmental officials. Their efforts, and those of the German forces fighting to maintain control of the city, would shape the course of the battle for Europe and color popular...

Foch: Supreme Allied Commander in the Great War
ISBN: 9781574886726 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ferdinand Foch is the prototype of the twentieth-century general. Better than any other general of the First World War, Foch came to understand how technology and modern alliance systems had changed the nature of warfare. He is most famous for his role as Allied commander in chief in 1918. In this position, unparalleled in the history of warfare, Foch welded together the disparate war efforts of France, Great Britain, the United States, Italy, and Belgium. Now fighting as a more coherent whole, the Allies repulsed the German spring offensives of 1918 and returned to the attack themselves in...

Potsdam: The End of World War II and the Remaking of Europe
ISBN: 9780465075256 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. After Germany s defeat in World War II, Europe lay in tatters. Millions of refugees were dispersed across the continent. Food and fuel were scarce. Britain was bankrupt, while Germany had been reduced to rubble. In July of 1945, Harry Truman, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin gathered in a quiet suburb of Berlin to negotiate a lasting peace: a peace that would finally put an end to the conflagration that had started in 1914, a peace under which Europe could be rebuilt.
The award-winning historian Michael Neiberg brings the turbulent Potsdam conference to life, vividly capturing the... After Germany s defeat in World War II, Europe lay in tatters. Millions of refugees were dispersed across the continent. Food and fuel were scarce. Br...

The Treaty of Versailles: A Concise History
ISBN: 9780190659189 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Signed on June 28, 1919 between Germany and the principal Allied powers, the Treaty of Versailles formally ended World War I. Problematic from the very beginning, even its contemporaries saw the treaty as a mediocre compromise, creating a precarious order in Europe and abroad and destined to fall short of ensuring lasting peace. At the time, observers read the treaty through competing lenses: a desire for peace after five years of disastrous war, demands for vengeance against Germany, the uncertain future of colonialism, and, most alarmingly, the emerging threat of Bolshevism. A century after...

Dance of the Furies: Europe and the Outbreak of World War I
ISBN: 9780674725935 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The common explanation for the outbreak of World War I depicts Europe as a minefield of nationalism, needing only the slightest pressure to set off an explosion of passion that would rip the continent apart. But in a crucial reexamination of the outbreak of violence, Michael Neiberg shows that ordinary Europeans, unlike their political and military leaders, neither wanted nor expected war during the fateful summer of 1914. By training his eye on the ways that people outside the halls of power reacted to the rapid onset and escalation of the fighting, Neiberg dispels the notion that...

The Path to War: How the First World War Created Modern America
ISBN: 9780190464967 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When war broke out in Europe in August of 1914, it seemed, to observers in the United States, the height of madness. The Old World and its empires were tearing each other apart, and while most Americans blamed the Germans, pitied the Belgians, and felt kinship with the Allies, they wanted no part in the carnage. Two years into war President Woodrow Wilson won re-election by pledging to keep out of the conflict. Yet by the spring of 1917-by which point millions had been killed for little apparent gain or purpose-the fervor to head "Over There" swept the country. America wanted in.

Making Citizen-Soldiers: Rotc and the Ideology of American Military Service
ISBN: 9780674007154 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines the Reserve Officers Training Corps program as a distinctively American expression of the social, cultural, and political meanings of military service. Since 1950, ROTC has produced nearly two out of three American active duty officers, yet there has been no comprehensive scholarly look at civilian officer education programs in nearly forty years. While most modern military systems educate and train junior officers at insular academies like West Point, only the United States has relied heavily on the active cooperation of its civilian colleges.

Soldiers' Lives Through History - The Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780313332692 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the story of the evolution of the citizen army throughout Western nations during the nineteenth century and up through World War I. The French Revolution had brought to Europe the concept of military service as a citizen responsibility. Until then, armies and navies had been the province of the upper classes and of mercenaries, with authoritarian governments firmly in place that held little connection to the common person. As more democratic and republican governments developed during the 1800s, military service became not only a citizen's obligation, but for many, an honor. By the...

The Second Battle of the Marne
ISBN: 9780253351463 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The First Battle of the Marne produced the so-called Miracle of the Marne, when French and British forces stopped the initial German drive on Paris in 1914. Hundreds of thousands of casualties later, with opposing forces still dug into trench lines, the Germans tried again to push their way to Paris and to victory. The Second Battle of the Marne (July 15 to August 9, 1918) marks the point at which the Allied armies stopped the massive German Ludendorff Offensives and turned to offensive operations themselves. The Germans never again came as close to Paris nor resumed the offensive. The...
