The Anzac Illusion: Anglo-Australian Relations During World War I
ISBN: 9780521459891 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The myth of Anzac has been one of Australia's most enduring. The belief in the superior fighting qualities of Australian soldiers in the First World War is part of national consciousness and the much touted "special" relationship of Britain and Australia during the War accepted as fact. This provocative and wide ranging book is a reassessment of Australia's role in World War I and its relations--military, economic, political and psychological--with Britain. Professor Andrews shows that it suited all parties--in Britain and Australia--to propagate the myth of Anzac for their own purposes.

Despite playing a significant role in all the major engagements of the American Expeditionary Force, the "Yankee Division," as it was commonly known, and its beloved commanding officer, Maj. Gen. Clarence Edwards, were often at odds with Gen. John J. Pershing. Subsequently, the Yankee Division became the A.E.F.'s "whipping boy," a reputation that has largely continued to the present day.

This is a unique and riveting book. The steamer Tara and her crew spent the early part of WW1 patrolling the Northern Channel between England and Ireland before a transfer to coastal duties off Egypt and Libya. There she was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-Boat operating from a secret base on the Libyan coast. To ensure no intelligence of it's presence leaked to the British, the Germans towed the survivors-including this book's author, the Tara's captain, into captivity at the hands of the Senussi-religious zealots in league with the Ottoman...

Over The Top: Life in the Trenches
ISBN: 9781517207663 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The First World War brought a new kind of horror for man to endure. Not only the constant threat of bullets, bombs and gas, but also living conditions that were so bad, if we had been animals today, the British Army would have been in trouble for animal cruelty. I was one of the lucky ones to survive the trenches when millions did not make it back home, from all sides. The visions of my time in the trenches are etched in my mind as if it was yesterday. I can still see faces screaming out in pain, asking to be put out of their misery, mounds made up of bodies that cast an eerie shadow under...

History of the Great War. The Merchant Navy: v. III
ISBN: 9781843425670 / Angielski / Twarda / 419 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This final volume of the history of the Merchant Navy takes us from the onset of unrestricted submarine warfare to the conclusion of hostilities, and its prime concern is to give an account of the ordeal to which the seamen were subjected in the last twenty months of the war. But it also gives a good account of how the Merchant Navy took the war to the enemy through the 10th Cruiser Squadron and the Auxiliary Patrol, and in surface engagements involving British armed merchant cruisers. The losses to British merchant shipping make grim reading. For the five months from February 1917 (the start...

"World War One, 'The Great War', had major social, economic, psychological and political implications for colonial peoples. Throughout the colonial world, people were called upon and many eagerly volunteered to defend the very nations and institutions which kept them in subjugation and robbed them of their identities. Glenford Howe presents the incredible and ironically triumphant story of the West Indian soldiers in World War One - a story which had previously remained largely untold through the intentional design of the early British colonial historians and by efforts to belittle the...

Writing the Great War: Sir James Edmonds and the Official Histories, 1915-1948
ISBN: 9780714684307 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Begun within months of the war's outbreak, and not completed for a further 33 years, the writing of the Official Histories of World War I was a venture of unprecedented scale and complexity.
Who, then, was responsible for producing such an enterprise? Did it aim to inform or did it have darker political motivations? Did the authors, who alone had access to records that were to remain classified for decades to come, seek to lay the facts and lessons of the war truthfully before the public? A number of critics have claimed that, on the contrary, the Official Histories were highly partial...

ISBN: 9780333654118 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why, despite the appalling conditions in the trenches of the Western Front, was the British army almost untouched by major mutiny during the First World War? Drawing upon an extensive range of sources, including much previously unpublished archival material, G. D. Sheffield seeks to answer this question by examining a crucial but previously neglected factor in the maintenance of the British army's morale in the First World War: the relationship between the regimental officer and the ordinary soldier.

The First World War
ISBN: 9780192803184 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The tragic slaughter of the trenches is imprinted on modern memory; but it is more difficult to grasp the wider extent and significance of World War I. This book gives a clear chronological account of the campaigns on the Western and Eastern Fronts and then moves on to investigate areas that many studies ignore - the war poets, the diplomacy of war aims and peace moves, logistics, and the experience of the war. It was soon seen that war has nothing to do with chivalry any more, but it was harder to say what World War I was fought for, or what the combatants gained.
