The Second World War is often associated with vast military casualties, but most do not associate how the war shifted the flow of goods and resources necessary for life, killing millions through malnutrition, starvation, and related disease. Among the famines of the Second World War, the Great Famine of Vietnam (1944-1945) remains little known outside of Vietnam, especially compared to its contemporaries in Bengal, Henan, and the Soviet Union. Though natural disasters catalyzed the famine, the scope of the famine was exacerbated by the brutal French extraction of resources in northern Vietnam, on the command of the Japanese military.

When did war begin? Standard military accounts tend to start with the Graeco-Persian wars, laying undue emphasis on the preeminence of Greek heavy infantry. But, as this strikingly original and entertaining book shows, the origins of war can be traced back not to the Iron Age, or even to the Bronze Age, but to the emergence of settled life itself nearly 10,000 years ago.

Название: All About History: Book of Hitler Автор: Dan Peel Издательство: DK Год: 2019 Формат: PDF Страниц: 145 Размер: 70 Mb Язык: English
On 30 April 1945, with Berlin surrounded and Nazi Germany all but defeated, Adolf Hitler put his Walther PPK pistol to his head, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger. The Fiihrer was dead, his bloody reign of terror finally at an end. In the Book of Hitler, we look back at the brutal rise and dramatic fall of history's most hated man, from his troubled early years and experiences during World War I to his use of repression, racism and riots to take control and maintain power in Germany. Hitler's military leadership style and how it affected the outcome of World War II is explored in detail alongside fascinating features on key moments from the conflict, such as his clash with Soviet giant Josef Stalin and Nazi Germany's last stand in Berlin, while we also look at Hitler's plans for global domination and the lasting impact his brief reign continues to have on the world.

When the military aspect of the Second World War is discussed, especially regarding how the war was won, people tend to talk about, Winston Churchill, D-Day, Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, the Blitz, the Dam Busters, the Allied bombing of German cities, Montgomery and the North Africa campaign, etc. However, there is one aspect, rarely mentioned and never quite fully appreciated, which played a massive role in winning the war. The Double Cross system, operated by MI5, involved capturing German spies who had been sent to the United Kingdom and offering them the opportunity to become double agents and spy for the British against the Germans. Most agreed, although the alternative wasn’t that pleasant: refusing to become a spy would have almost certainly resulted in death.
Название: The Roots of Ireland's Troubles Автор: Robert Stedall Издательство: Pen & Sword History Год: 2019 Страниц: 590 Язык: английский Формат: epub (true) Размер: 10.2 MB
Over the course of three decades in the late twentieth century, Northern Ireland was embroiled in the Troubles, a conflict characterized by the violent and bitter struggle between nationalists and unionists. Many books in recent years have attempted to make sense of the Troubles. Primarily political and nationalistic, it also had a sectarian dimension. In The Roots of Ireland’s Troubles, Robert Stedall argues that we need to take a longer historical view to truly understand the complex factors at play in Ireland’s history that ultimately led to the Troubles. Comprehensive in its approach, it ranges from Plantagenet intervention among the warring Gaelic chieftains, to Cromwell’s restoration of British rule following the English Civil War and William Pitt’s resignation over the Irish Catholic’s Emancipation question.
