Richard Overy zeichnet ein umfassendes, neues Bild des Zweiten Weltkriegs - als das letzte Aufbäumen des Imperialismus. Er zeigt ihn als den alles Vorangegangene übertreffenden imperialistischen Krieg - in dem sämtliche Kriegsparteien, Alliierte ebenso wie Achsenmächte, danach strebten, Imperien zu befestigen, zu verteidigen, zu erweitern oder auch erst zu schaffen.

Why The Allies Won
ISBN: 9781845950651 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The modern world is undergoing painful transformation. Why the Allies Won looks at the last time democracy was going through such turbulence.
As Richard Overy makes clear, the Allied victory in 1945 -- though comprehensive -- was far from inevitable. By 1942 almost the entire resources of continental Europe were in German hands, and Japan had wiped out the western colonial presence in Asia. Democracy appeared to have had its day. Overy provides a re-interpretation of the war through an account of the decisive military campaigns that created the astonishing revival in Allied fortunes....

The Bombing War: Europe, 1939-1945
ISBN: 9780141003214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 880 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The ultimate history of the Blitz and bombing in the Second World War, from Wolfson Prize-winning historian and author Richard Overy The use of massive fleets of bombers to kill and terrorize civilians was an aspect of the Second World War which continues to challenge the idea that Allies specifically fought a 'moral' war. For Britain, bombing became perhaps its principal contribution to the fighting as, night after night, exceptionally brave men flew over occupied Europe destroying its cities. The Bombing War radically overhauls our understanding of the War. It is the first book to examine...

While the trial of Hitler's fallen elite at Nuremberg has been thoroughly documented, the interval between the Nazis' capture in May and June 1945 and the start of the actual trial in late November has until now remained shrouded in shadow. With Interrogations, acclaimed historian Richard Overy opens a new window into the Third Reich, providing an intimate glimpse of the savage dictatorship in its death throes. More than thirty transcripts of the interrogations are reproduced here for the first time, allowing us to hear the voices of the newly captured "Hitler gang"-including Goring, Speer,...

The Battle of Britain: Myth and Reality
ISBN: 9781846143564 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the award-winning author of The Dictators, Richard Overy's The Battle of Britain: Myth and Reality is the best introduction available to a defining moment in British history. The extraordinary struggle between British and German air forces in 1940 was one of the pivotal events of the Second World War. How close did Britain really come to invasion during this time? What were Hitler and Churchill's motives? And what was the battle's real effect on the outcome of the war? 'It is harder to imagine a sounder and more succinct account of the Battle of Britain'

Hitler has ambitions to invade Poland and hopes Stalin will now help him. The West must try to stop him. Nothing was predictable or inevitable.

The Dictators: Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia
ISBN: 9780393327977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 922 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. If the past century will be remembered for its tragic pairing of civilized achievement and organized destruction, at the heart of darkness may be found Hitler, Stalin, and the systems of domination they forged. Their lethal regimes murdered millions and fought a massive, deadly war. Yet their dictatorships took shape within formal constitutional structures and drew the support of the German and Russian people. In the first major historical work to analyze the two dictatorships together in depth, Richard Overy gives us an absorbing study of Hitler and Stalin, ranging from their private and...

The Oxford Illustrated History of World War II
ISBN: 9780199605828 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. World War Two was the most devastating conflict in recorded human history. It was both global in extent and total in character. It has understandably left a long and dark shadow across the decades. Yet it is three generations since hostilities formally ended in 1945 and the conflict is now a lived memory for only a few. And this growing distance in time has allowed historians to think differently about how to describe it, how to explain its course, and what subjects to focus on when considering the wartime experience.
For instance, as World War Two recedes ever further into the past, even... World War Two was the most devastating conflict in recorded human history. It was both global in extent and total in character. It has understandably ...
