A History In Fragments: Europe in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780349112695 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 736 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The problem with the history of 20th-century Europe, asserts the author, is that everyone thinks they know it. The great stories of the century - the two world wars, the rise and fall of Nazism and Communism, female emancipation - seem self-evidently important. But behind the grand narratives, the politics and the ideologies, lies another history: the history of forces that shaped the lives of individual Europeans. This is the thrust of Richard Vinen's survey of this uniquely destructive and creative century.

The Unfree French : Life Under the Occupation
ISBN: 9780140296846 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the summer of 1940 the French army was one of the largest and best in the world, confident of victory. In the space of a few nightmarish weeks that all changed as the French and their British allies were crushed and eight million people fled their homes. Richard Vinen's new book describes the consequences of that defeat. It does so not by looking at political leaders in Vichy or Paris or London but rather at those who were caught up in daily horrors of war. It describes the fate of a French prisoner of war who was punished because he wrote a love letter to a German woman, and the fate of a...

The Long '68: Radical Protest and Its Enemies
ISBN: 9780141982526 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Fresh, compelling ... an important book, revealing that 50 years on, 1968 is still unfinished business Andrew Hussey, Financial Times
A thoughtful, readable account of a moment in history that deserves to be dwelt on Andrew Marr, The Times 1968 saw an extraordinary range of protests across much of the western world. Some of these were genuinely revolutionary - around ten million French workers went on strike and the whole state teetered on the brink of collapse. Others were more easily contained, but had profound longer-term implications; terrorist groups, feminist collectives, gay rights...

National Service: A Generation in Uniform 1945-1963
ISBN: 9780141399805 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Winner of the Templer Medal and the Wolfson History Prize Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller Richard Vinen's National Service is a serious - if often very entertaining - attempt to get to grips with the reality of that extraordinary institution, which now seems as remote as the British Empire itself. With great sympathy and curiosity, Vinen unpicks the myths of the two 'gap years', which all British men who came of age between 1945 and the early 1960s had to fill with National Service. This book is fascinating to those who endured or even enjoyed their time in uniform, but also to anyone wishing...

Bourgeois Politics in France, 1945 1951
ISBN: 9780521474511 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first general study based on primary research of the reconstruction of conservative parties, business associates, civil service departments and other institutions defending bourgeois interests in the period between 1945 and 1951. French conservatism is presented as a more subtle, dynamic force than has been previously appreciated. It is suggested that the experiences of Vichy, the occupation and the purges inspired new kinds of political synthesis, making conservatives more dynamic and receptive to change than their "progressive" opponents.
