Still very Nice Gift Giving quality ... 197 pages with index ... illustrated with B&W photographs ... Among his many preoccupations during the Second World War, Winston Churchill was particularly concerned with the course of the war at sea upon which Britain's survival hinged ... He later wrote: 'The shipping losses became most grave during the twelve months from July 1940 to July 1941 when we could claim that the British Battle of the Atlantic was won.' ... Nowhere was this more true than round the coasts of Ireland ... The political division of the island gave rise to divergent and far-reaching consequences, and for one turbulent year Britain's fate and the validity of Irish neutrality hung in the balance ... When in January 1941 Hitler belatedly ordered a change in strategy - to concentrate air attacks on Britain's ports of entry in support of the U-boat campaign - the Luftwaffe could no longer ignore Belfast and the city suffered a devastating series of attacks; nor did Dublin and Derry escape unscathed ... In recounting this story Trevor Allen has drawn on previously unpublished material from German military and Foreign Ministry archives ... The personal recollections of former German airmen who took part in those attacks have been woven to produce a graphic and unique description of them through German eyes ...

Jacket protected in New non-stick clear Mylar sleeve ... DJ slight faint shelf edgewear ... not noticeable inside new sleeve ... Gift Giving quality .. This is a handsome book, Chocolate Brown textured boards , with Gold gilt titles impressed onto spine & red endpapges, in matching Brown & Red photographic jacket ... Irish-born Author Neil Belton has written with enormous sensitivity and tact ... a deeply moving account of the character of Helen Bamber ... one good and complex human being who has battled throughout her life to bring the dark side of history into the light ... It is a remarkable and important book ... Helen Bamber went to the Belsen Nazi Concentration Camp after the Second World War, in 1945 , to work with the survivors ... She was only 20 years old ... Since then, her life has been involved with the worst of the worst of the past 50 years ... In 1985, at the age of 60 , she set up an organisation devoted to helping victims of torture, and to bearing witness against the fact of torture ... This book shows us how an ordinary woman becomes compelled to work to resist cruelty ... Helen grew up in London in an atmosphere where the Holocaust seemed inevitable ... Her father, a Polish Jew , was obsessed by the fascist threat ... At bedtime, he would read to young Helen from Goebbels' speaches, teaching her and warning her how corrupting and manipulative language could be ... A beloved aunt of Helen's died in a Nazi air-raid over London ... Helen met her husband on New Year's Eve, 1945 ... He had escaped Nazi Germany after seeing his father murdered on Kristallnacht ... Helen then travelled to Belsen just after the war, where she dedicated herself to caring for the young survivors of the camps, known then as ' the Boys ' ... Having worked for years with victims of extreme cruelty, she then ' branched out ' , and began to look into the areas of ' treatments ' of ' patients ' by unscrupulous medical scientists, carrying out experiments on human beings ; the neglect of children in hospitals at that time ; and the ill-use of political prisoners ... She worked for and was profoundly influenced by physician Dr. Maurice Pappworth , who exposed unethical medical experiments and the use of people as research ' material ' ... In the 1960s, Helen campaigned to allow mothers to saty with their sick children in hospital, which had not been permitted until then ... and later, at a time when military regimes were siezing power in many countries, she became a central force in Amnesty International ... Bamber knew that on her own she could not change the world, but she could be a bearer of evidence ... having seen the unbelievable cruelty of the Nazis, she could look at other areas of cruelty, and try to undo the work of the modern-day torturer ... That was her aim in setting up the Foundation for the Care of the Victims of Torture ... Her real life story touches on events from the Second World War German Concentration camps , to Algeria, Chile, the independent African States ; as well as the USSR and Israel, and postwar Britain and Germany ... This book reconstructs the stages of Bamber's strange self-education ... Since her openness to others has been one of her greatest skills this book cannot be just her own story ... The narrative at times moves away from her, in order to capture what she was hearing ... The stories of those who left their impressions on her are unforgettable records of needless and meaningless suffering ...

Author Richard Bessel is Professor of 20th Century History at the University of York, in England, and a member of the editorial board of History Today ... He is also the author of ' Political Violence and the Rise of Nazism ' , ' Germany After the First World War ' , and editor of ' Life in the Third Reich ' , and ' Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany ' ... In this book, he provides a powerful, chilling, and illuminating account of the rise and fall of the Nazis ... from their ascent towards power in the 1920s, up to the aftermath of the war and the wreckage they left behind which affected the lives of Germans and Europeans far beyond May 1945 ... This book strips Nazi ideology down to its core : its beliefs in war and race ... Peace was merely a preparation for war ... war which would redraw the racial map of Europe ... Beginning with the myth-building after 1918 , which substituted , for memories of senseless slaughter , the myth of some 'meaningful' , and even 'sacred' , event, it moves steadily through the key episodes of the 1920s and the Nazi seizure of power ... and then on to economic boom ... massive rearmament ... and the Jew-baiting of the 1930s ... The attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 revealed the full horrrors of Nazism , and the German Army's treatment of Soviet prisoners was one of the greatest crimes ever committed by a professional army ... This book pays particular attention to the last year of the war ... a time of intense suffering and enormous casualities , especially for the Germans ... These months became the basis on which, after 1945, Nazism and the war would be remembered ... and forgotten ... by the Germans themselves ... fostering their belief that they, too , had been victims of a war in which perhaps 50 million people had lost their lives ...

Brand new from publisher ... Never opened , Never owned , Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... 254 pages ... illustrated with B&W maps ... In early 1942, during WWII , the Allies' fortunes were at a low ebb across the globe ... Then, in June, came the US Navy's victory over the Japanese Navy at Midway ... That was followed in early November by Eighth Army's victory over the Italo-German Panzer Armee Afrika after twelve days of battle at El Alamein in Egypt ... Shortly afterwards the Red Army defeated the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad ... The war had turned in favour of the Allies; the long haul to victory was underway ... Eighth Army's victory at El Alamein was, therefore, one of the turning points of the Second World War ... it led to the destruction of all Axis forces in North Africa and a loss to the Axis that was as great as that inflicted at Stalingrad ... As Eighth Army's guns crashed out in the opening bombardment of the final battle of El Alamein on 23 October 1942, Franciscan nuns in Sacred Heart Convent in Alexandria, some sixty miles away, felt their building shake and heard the thunder of the guns ... One sister summed up their feelings many years later when she said: 'We knew we were listening to the sound of history' ... Here is, from a leading authority of the period and much-published author, the definitive account of one of the pivotal battles of the Second World War ...

Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. 6 x 8-1/2 " 0375507752 2002 Hardcover in DJ, later printing ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear Mylar sleeve ... 176 pages ... Irwin, a 76-year-old retired philosophy professor at Pennsylvania's Lock Haven University, offers a brief account in 10 chapters of his WWII service. Born in Norristown, Pa, Irwin enlisted in the army in August 1944 at age 18 and was honorably discharged in July 1946. An eventful march through Germany, including a surprise capture of enemy soldiers that turned out to be more of a nuisance than a triumph for the American side, accentuates the battle-weary and ultra-realistic tone of the memoir, puncturing illusions about the so-called grandeur and glory of war.Many narrative accounts of men in combat during World War II have conveyed the horrors and emotions of warfare ... However, not many reveal in such an intimate way the struggle of innocent youth to adapt to the primitive code of "kill or be killed," to transform from lads into combat soldiers ... This is the true story of John P. Irwin, a teenage tank gunner whose idealistic desire to achieve heroism is shattered by the incredibly different view of life the world of combat demands ... He comes to the realization that the realm of warfare has almost nothing in common with the civilian life from which he has come ... The interminable fighting, dirt, fatigue, and hunger make the war seem endless ... In addition to the killing and destruction on the battlefield , Irwin and his crew are caught up in the unbelievable depravity they encounter at Nordhausen Camp, where slave laborers are compelled to work themselves to death manufacturing the infamous V-rockets that have been causing so much destruction in London, and that are expected one day to devastate Washington, D. C... At the end of the war, the sense of victory is, for these men, overshadowed by the intense joy and relief they experience in knowing that the fighting is at last over ...

Part of the Studies in Canadian Military History Series published in Association with the Canadian War Museum ... It was the " Good War." ... Its cause was just; it ended the depression; and Canada's contribution was nothing less than stellar ... Canadians had every reason to applaud themselves and the heroes who made their nation proud ... This eye-opening and captivating reassessment of Canadian commitment to the cause explores the questions that disturbed citizens at the time ... Were civilians working as hard as possible to back the war effort? ... Was there illegal profiting from the conflict? ... Did society suffer from a general decline of morality? ... Would women truly "back the attack" in new factory jobs and the military and then quietly return home? ... Would unattended youth produce a crisis with juvenile delinquency? ... How would Canada reintegrate a million veterans who, policy makers feared, would create a social crisis if treated like their Great War counterparts? ... The first-ever synthesis covering both the patriotic and the problematic in wartime Canada, Saints, Sinners, and Soldiers shows how moral and social changes, and the fears they generated, precipitated numerous and often contradictory legacies in law and society ... From labour conflicts to the black market and prostitution, Kashen acknowledges the underbelly of Canada's Second World War ...

" From age 5 to age 10, Lobel spent what are supposed to be carefree years hiding from the Nazis, protecting her younger brother, being captured and marched from camp to camp, and surviving completely dehumanizing conditions. A terrifying story by any measure, Lobel's memoir is all the more haunting as told from the first-person, child's-eye view. Her girlhood voice tells it like it is, without irony or even complete understanding, but with matter-of-fact honesty and astonishing attention to detail. She carves vivid, enduring images into readers' minds. On hiding in the attic of the ghetto: "We were always told to be very quiet. The whispers of the trapped grown-ups sounded like the noise of insects rubbing their legs together." On being discovered while hiding in a convent: "They lined us up facing the wall. I looked at the dark red bricks in front of me and waited for the shots. When the shouting continued and the shots didn't come, I noticed my breath hanging in thin puffs in the air." On trying not to draw the attention of the Nazis: "I wanted to shrink away. To fold into a small invisible thing that had no detectable smell. No breath. No flesh. No sound."

Still very Nice Gift Giving quality ... 197 pages with index ... illustrated with B&W photographs ... Among his many preoccupations during the Second World War, Winston Churchill was particularly concerned with the course of the war at sea upon which Britain's survival hinged ... He later wrote: 'The shipping losses became most grave during the twelve months from July 1940 to July 1941 when we could claim that the British Battle of the Atlantic was won.' ... Nowhere was this more true than round the coasts of Ireland ... The political division of the island gave rise to divergent and far-reaching consequences, and for one turbulent year Britain's fate and the validity of Irish neutrality hung in the balance ... When in January 1941 Hitler belatedly ordered a change in strategy - to concentrate air attacks on Britain's ports of entry in support of the U-boat campaign - the Luftwaffe could no longer ignore Belfast and the city suffered a devastating series of attacks; nor did Dublin and Derry escape unscathed ... In recounting this story Trevor Allen has drawn on previously unpublished material from German military and Foreign Ministry archives ... The personal recollections of former German airmen who took part in those attacks have been woven to produce a graphic and unique description of them through German eyes ...

Jacket protected in New non-stick clear Mylar sleeve ... DJ slight faint shelf edgewear ... not noticeable inside new sleeve ... Gift Giving quality .. This is a handsome book, Chocolate Brown textured boards , with Gold gilt titles impressed onto spine & red endpapges, in matching Brown & Red photographic jacket ... Irish-born Author Neil Belton has written with enormous sensitivity and tact ... a deeply moving account of the character of Helen Bamber ... one good and complex human being who has battled throughout her life to bring the dark side of history into the light ... It is a remarkable and important book ... Helen Bamber went to the Belsen Nazi Concentration Camp after the Second World War, in 1945 , to work with the survivors ... She was only 20 years old ... Since then, her life has been involved with the worst of the worst of the past 50 years ... In 1985, at the age of 60 , she set up an organisation devoted to helping victims of torture, and to bearing witness against the fact of torture ... This book shows us how an ordinary woman becomes compelled to work to resist cruelty ... Helen grew up in London in an atmosphere where the Holocaust seemed inevitable ... Her father, a Polish Jew , was obsessed by the fascist threat ... At bedtime, he would read to young Helen from Goebbels' speaches, teaching her and warning her how corrupting and manipulative language could be ... A beloved aunt of Helen's died in a Nazi air-raid over London ... Helen met her husband on New Year's Eve, 1945 ... He had escaped Nazi Germany after seeing his father murdered on Kristallnacht ... Helen then travelled to Belsen just after the war, where she dedicated herself to caring for the young survivors of the camps, known then as ' the Boys ' ... Having worked for years with victims of extreme cruelty, she then ' branched out ' , and began to look into the areas of ' treatments ' of ' patients ' by unscrupulous medical scientists, carrying out experiments on human beings ; the neglect of children in hospitals at that time ; and the ill-use of political prisoners ... She worked for and was profoundly influenced by physician Dr. Maurice Pappworth , who exposed unethical medical experiments and the use of people as research ' material ' ... In the 1960s, Helen campaigned to allow mothers to saty with their sick children in hospital, which had not been permitted until then ... and later, at a time when military regimes were siezing power in many countries, she became a central force in Amnesty International ... Bamber knew that on her own she could not change the world, but she could be a bearer of evidence ... having seen the unbelievable cruelty of the Nazis, she could look at other areas of cruelty, and try to undo the work of the modern-day torturer ... That was her aim in setting up the Foundation for the Care of the Victims of Torture ... Her real life story touches on events from the Second World War German Concentration camps , to Algeria, Chile, the independent African States ; as well as the USSR and Israel, and postwar Britain and Germany ... This book reconstructs the stages of Bamber's strange self-education ... Since her openness to others has been one of her greatest skills this book cannot be just her own story ... The narrative at times moves away from her, in order to capture what she was hearing ... The stories of those who left their impressions on her are unforgettable records of needless and meaningless suffering ...

Author Richard Bessel is Professor of 20th Century History at the University of York, in England, and a member of the editorial board of History Today ... He is also the author of ' Political Violence and the Rise of Nazism ' , ' Germany After the First World War ' , and editor of ' Life in the Third Reich ' , and ' Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany ' ... In this book, he provides a powerful, chilling, and illuminating account of the rise and fall of the Nazis ... from their ascent towards power in the 1920s, up to the aftermath of the war and the wreckage they left behind which affected the lives of Germans and Europeans far beyond May 1945 ... This book strips Nazi ideology down to its core : its beliefs in war and race ... Peace was merely a preparation for war ... war which would redraw the racial map of Europe ... Beginning with the myth-building after 1918 , which substituted , for memories of senseless slaughter , the myth of some 'meaningful' , and even 'sacred' , event, it moves steadily through the key episodes of the 1920s and the Nazi seizure of power ... and then on to economic boom ... massive rearmament ... and the Jew-baiting of the 1930s ... The attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 revealed the full horrrors of Nazism , and the German Army's treatment of Soviet prisoners was one of the greatest crimes ever committed by a professional army ... This book pays particular attention to the last year of the war ... a time of intense suffering and enormous casualities , especially for the Germans ... These months became the basis on which, after 1945, Nazism and the war would be remembered ... and forgotten ... by the Germans themselves ... fostering their belief that they, too , had been victims of a war in which perhaps 50 million people had lost their lives ...

Brand new from publisher ... Never opened , Never owned , Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... 254 pages ... illustrated with B&W maps ... In early 1942, during WWII , the Allies' fortunes were at a low ebb across the globe ... Then, in June, came the US Navy's victory over the Japanese Navy at Midway ... That was followed in early November by Eighth Army's victory over the Italo-German Panzer Armee Afrika after twelve days of battle at El Alamein in Egypt ... Shortly afterwards the Red Army defeated the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad ... The war had turned in favour of the Allies; the long haul to victory was underway ... Eighth Army's victory at El Alamein was, therefore, one of the turning points of the Second World War ... it led to the destruction of all Axis forces in North Africa and a loss to the Axis that was as great as that inflicted at Stalingrad ... As Eighth Army's guns crashed out in the opening bombardment of the final battle of El Alamein on 23 October 1942, Franciscan nuns in Sacred Heart Convent in Alexandria, some sixty miles away, felt their building shake and heard the thunder of the guns ... One sister summed up their feelings many years later when she said: 'We knew we were listening to the sound of history' ... Here is, from a leading authority of the period and much-published author, the definitive account of one of the pivotal battles of the Second World War ...

Jacket protected in New non-stick clear Mylar sleeve ... 176 pages ... Irwin, a 76-year-old retired philosophy professor at Pennsylvania's Lock Haven University, offers a brief account in 10 chapters of his WWII service. Born in Norristown, Pa, Irwin enlisted in the army in August 1944 at age 18 and was honorably discharged in July 1946. An eventful march through Germany, including a surprise capture of enemy soldiers that turned out to be more of a nuisance than a triumph for the American side, accentuates the battle-weary and ultra-realistic tone of the memoir, puncturing illusions about the so-called grandeur and glory of war.Many narrative accounts of men in combat during World War II have conveyed the horrors and emotions of warfare ... However, not many reveal in such an intimate way the struggle of innocent youth to adapt to the primitive code of "kill or be killed," to transform from lads into combat soldiers ... This is the true story of John P. Irwin, a teenage tank gunner whose idealistic desire to achieve heroism is shattered by the incredibly different view of life the world of combat demands ... He comes to the realization that the realm of warfare has almost nothing in common with the civilian life from which he has come ... The interminable fighting, dirt, fatigue, and hunger make the war seem endless ... In addition to the killing and destruction on the battlefield , Irwin and his crew are caught up in the unbelievable depravity they encounter at Nordhausen Camp, where slave laborers are compelled to work themselves to death manufacturing the infamous V-rockets that have been causing so much destruction in London, and that are expected one day to devastate Washington, D. C... At the end of the war, the sense of victory is, for these men, overshadowed by the intense joy and relief they experience in knowing that the fighting is at last over ...

Part of the Studies in Canadian Military History Series published in Association with the Canadian War Museum ... It was the " Good War." ... Its cause was just; it ended the depression; and Canada's contribution was nothing less than stellar ... Canadians had every reason to applaud themselves and the heroes who made their nation proud ... This eye-opening and captivating reassessment of Canadian commitment to the cause explores the questions that disturbed citizens at the time ... Were civilians working as hard as possible to back the war effort? ... Was there illegal profiting from the conflict? ... Did society suffer from a general decline of morality? ... Would women truly "back the attack" in new factory jobs and the military and then quietly return home? ... Would unattended youth produce a crisis with juvenile delinquency? ... How would Canada reintegrate a million veterans who, policy makers feared, would create a social crisis if treated like their Great War counterparts? ... The first-ever synthesis covering both the patriotic and the problematic in wartime Canada, Saints, Sinners, and Soldiers shows how moral and social changes, and the fears they generated, precipitated numerous and often contradictory legacies in law and society ... From labour conflicts to the black market and prostitution, Kashen acknowledges the underbelly of Canada's Second World War ...

The whispers of the trapped grown-ups sounded like the noise of insects rubbing their legs together." On being discovered while hiding in a convent: "They lined us up facing the wall. I looked at the dark red bricks in front of me and waited for the shots. When the shouting continued and the shots didn't come, I noticed my breath hanging in thin puffs in the air." On trying not to draw the attention of the Nazis: "I wanted to shrink away. To fold into a small invisible thing that had no detectable smell. No breath. No flesh. No sound."
