ISBN: 9780141003214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 880 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 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...

Why The Allies Won
ISBN: 9781845950651 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 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....

Hermann Goering was Hitler's most loyal supporter, his designated successor, and the second most powerful man in the Third Reich. One of the main architects of the Nazi regime, he was also instrumental in the creation of the Gestapo and directly ordered the Final Solution. But who was the man behind the carefully constructed mask? Self-indulgent and ruthless, sybaritic and brutal, egotistical yet capable of self-effacement, weak-willed yet fiercely calculating, Goering was a contradictory, complex, and often buffoonish character. In this classic biography, Richard Overy takes the... Hermann Goering was Hitler's most loyal supporter, his designated successor, and the second most powerful man in the Third Reich.

The Battle of Britain: The Myth and the Reality
ISBN: 9780393322972 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The battle of Britain pitted the Hurricanes and Spitfires of the Royal Air Force against the Messerschmitts of Hitler's Luftwaffe in the skies over England in 1940. It was immortalized in Churchill's words, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few," but it has since been debunked by revisionists as an inconclusive and even strategically flawed encounter for the British. In this assessment of the battle, Richard Overy restores the historical balance. He delivers shrewd judgments on the critical elements for both sides, from strategy to leadership, command...
