Adam Zamoyski's bestselling account of Napoleon's invasion of Russia and his catastrophic retreat from Moscow, events that had a profound effect on European history. In 1812 the most powerful man in the world assembled the largest army in history and marched on Moscow with the intention of consolidating his dominion. But within months, Napoleon's invasion of Russia - history's first example of total war - had turned into an epic military disaster. Over 400,000 French and Allied troops perished and Napoleon was forced to retreat. Adam Zamoyski's masterful work draws on the harrowing first-hand accounts of soldiers and civilians on both sides of the conflict. The result takes the reader beyond the invasion of Russia to present both a poignant tale of the individual foot soldier and a sweeping history of a turbulent time.

The scholarly inquiry of the 'causes' of Austria's defeat in 1866 is almost as old as the war against rising Prussia itself. Already in the immediate aftermath of the conflict, considerable energy was devoted to identifying the sources of failure. At the time, responsibility was attributed to the misjudgements of the high command, and above all to the commander-in-chief of the k.k. North Army, Feldzeugmeister Ludwig von Benedek. This one-sided interpretation, together with the broader debate surrounding the so-called 'question of guilt' (Schuldfrage), was later treated with increasing nuance. During the twentieth century, historians sought the origins of the defeat at both political and military levels. From a military perspective, research has primarily examined developments in armaments technology, the (strategic-) operational miscalculations of the campaign, and the structural deficiencies of the k.k. Army, which stemmed in large part from severe budgetary restrictions. By contrast, comparatively little attention has been devoted to battle tactics. In 1866, Austria entered the war against Prussia with a tactical doctrine nearly sixty years old, based on an overestimation of the historical tradition of military values.This volume examines precisely this neglected aspect. Within the broader context of armed conflicts since the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars against France, it introduces and systematically analyses Austrian military doctrine, with particular emphasis on tactics. The study critically examines the outdated systems of recruitment and training, while also considering the related fields of uniforms and equipment, soldiers' daily life, and military communication. The investigation, however, focuses primarily on two main themes: first, the Austrians' disdain for the employment of firearms; and second, their unshakeable belief in the invincibility of their own close-order battle formations. The bayonet charge, in particular, was accorded a special and almost emblematic status. The volume further explores the interaction between the various arms in wartime and highlights the complex interrelationship between strategic and tactical concepts. It becomes clear that the k.k.. Austrian Army was among the very last of the truly 'Napoleonic' forces; an army whose admirable courage could no longer compensate for hopelessly outdated infantry tactics in the age of industrialised warfare.

Im Juli 1870 ziehen Hunderttausende in einen Krieg, der die Landkarte Europas verändern wird. Manche von ihnen erwarten ein Abenteuer, andere haben Sorge um ihr Leben oder die Zukunft ihrer Familie, doch die meisten Männer auf beiden Seiten tun einfach nur das, was sie für ihre Pflicht halten.Der Deutsch-Französische Krieg von 1870 bis 1871 rundet als letzter der drei sogenannten "Einigungskriege" den blutigen Weg zur Gründung des deutschen Nationalstaats ab. Bewusst von Otto von Bismarck provoziert, erklärt das Second Empire Napoleons III. Preußen den Krieg. Doch die preußische Militärmacht besiegt gemeinsam mit den Verbündeten - u. a. aus Bayern, Württemberg und Baden - in großen Schlachten die Truppen des Kaiserreichs. Dieser Krieg wird von beiden Seiten mit äußerster Brutalität geführt und in vielen Punkten verweist er schon auf den technisierten und nationalistisch aufgeladenen Horror des Ersten Weltkriegs. Für die Gründung des Deutschen Reichs und die Kaiserproklamation im Spiegelsaal von Versailles sterben bis Ende des Krieges fast 200 000 Menschen.Im kollektiven historischen Gedächtnis der Deutschen ist der Krieg von 70/71 von der Erinnerung an die Weltkriege beinah vollständig überlagert worden. Dabei prägen bis heute Bismarckstatuen, Weißenburgstraßen, Sedanplätze, Denkmäler mit brüllenden Löwen, Lorbeerkränzen, "Eisernen Kreuzen" den öffentlichen Raum vieler deutscher Städte und Dörfer.Das Buch zeichnet ein Panorama des Krieges aus Sicht der "kleinen Leute" und der "großen Lenker". Es macht komplizierte Zusammenhänge verständlich und lässt vor allem Menschen und ihre Geschichte wieder lebendig werden. So begleiten den Leser viele Zeitzeugen: Könige, hohe Militärs, einfache Soldaten, Krankenschwestern, Maler, Geistliche, Diplomaten, Gesellschaftstheoretiker, Journalisten und Literaten.

From the author who told us about Baron Trump, comes another tale, this one lamenting the Democrat Party's "socialist" platform of 1896, and warning that the election of "Bryan" would be the last election for president, as the country would dissolve within a single four year term. Hence the title of the book "1900" or, "The Last President." But, just who is the "last president" according to Lockwood? Is it Bryan, or the man with a "a gleam of devilish joy" in his eyes? Might it be the Baron Trump (or is it, Barron Trump) of his previous books? Might the passage of time reveal all?

"1914-1918", David Stevenson's history of the First World War, has been acclaimed as the definitive one-volume account of the conflict. In the summer of 1914 Europe exploded into a frenzy of mass violence. The war that followed had global repercussions, destroying four empires and costing millions of lives. Even the victorious countries were scarred for a generation, and we still today remain within the conflict's shadow. In this major analysis David Stevenson re-examines the causes, course and impact of this 'war to end war', placing it in the context of its era and exposing its underlying dynamics. His book provides a wide-ranging international history, drawing on insights from the latest research. It offers compelling answers to the key questions about how this terrible struggle unfolded: questions that remain disturbingly relevant for our own time. "It's harder to imagine a better single-volume comprehensive history of the conflict than this superb study". (Ian Kershaw). "Perhaps the best comprehensive one-volume history of the war yet written". ("New Yorker"). "David Stevenson is the real deal...His defining characteristic is his outstanding rigour as an historian...tremendously clever".(Niall Ferguson). "This history of the 1914-1918 conflict surpasses all others. It is tough, erudite and comprehensive". ("Independent").

An account of the events, personalities and repercussions of Irish independence.

This is the story of two men, and the two decisions, that transformed world history in a single tumultuous year, 1917: Wilson's entry into World War One and Lenin's Bolshevik Revolution.

The year 1917 is dominated by the Russian Revolution and America entering the war. On 3 February, America cuts diplomatic ties with Germany following the announcement on 31 January that Germany will begin unrestricted submarine warfare. All 111 U-boats are ordered to sink any vessel at will. The hope is that Britain will be starved into submission. On 8 March, Germany is boosted as the Russians begin to demonstrate against shortages of food and fuel. Revolution is in the air! America declares war on 6 April. Losses to submarines are now so great and Britain in danger of running out of food that the convoy system is brought into force. The impact is huge and German U-boat losses climb rapidly. On 12 May, General Pershing is made commander of the American Expeditionary Force. At Scapa Flow, on the evening of 9 July 1917, HMS Vanguard explodes. On 2 August 1917, Squadron Commander Edwin Dunning successfully lands a Sopwith Pup on board HMS Furious, becoming the first person to land an aircraft on a moving ship. The aircraft carrier has come of age. December sees the Russians and Germans discuss peace terms. The Japanese invade Vladivostock on 30 December.Further revolution in Russia has seen the Cossacks revolt against the Bolsheviks and British ships shell the Bolsheviks. So ends 1917's war at sea!

No imperial family stuck in a little out of the way town, with no road, rail or river connection for most of the year, can be counted as important. Thus, already, with the corpses left from their rescue still being collected, Tsarina Tatiana, the First of Her Name, is striking out for better position. A battle must be fought against a seemingly overwhelming force of Bolsheviks, just to hold on to their tiny Tobolsk, in Siberia. Yekaterinburg, rich in precious metals must be taken to fund the war, with only a dozen men available to take it. The beautiful nun and imperial aunt, Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna and her companions must be rescued from a vile fate. And too, the lines must be laid out for the various fractious anti-Bolshevik forces to unite under the Imperial Crown. Finally, the two possible successors, Maria Alexandovna and her sister, Anastasia must be whisked to safety in the United States and the United Kingdom, where one of them will learn love not just of a man, but of his people, his country, and their way of life. Clever spying, desperate battles, subtle diplomacy, terrorism, counter-terrorism, propaganda, and romance: the campaign to defeat the Bolsheviks and rescue Holy Russia from a dark and terrible fate continues.

Tanz auf dem Vulkan§§Zwischen Dr. Mabuse und Hitler - Berlin in den Goldenen Zwanzigern§§Vorher Muff der Kaiserzeit und Nachkriegselend, danach Wirtschaftskrise und Naziherrschaft: Die 1920er sind Berlins goldenes Jahrzehnt. Die Stadt erfährt einen ungeheuren Modernisierungsschub und ist plötzlich eine moderne, rasante Weltstadt, die nicht mehr schlafen geht und zum ewigen Sehnsuchtsort hedonistischer Fantasien wird: Vom Alexanderplatz fährt eine Straßenbahn zur Milchstraße, vor expressionistischen Gemälden fliegt dem Bürger der Hut vom Kopf, im Kino versteht man Metropolis nicht, wohl aber Marlene Dietrich im Blauen Engel, und in den Nachtklubs gibt man sich sexueller Anarchie und kultivierten Koksneurosen hin. Berlin erlebt eine kurze Zeit der kulturellen Blüte, des intellektuellen Reichtums und exzessiver Lebensfreude. In den Jazzbars, dekadenten Kabaretts, überfüllten Kinosälen und Tanzlokalen pulsiert das Leben, rasende Reporter schreiben es mit, Zeitungsjungen schreien es heraus, erschöpfte Nachtschwärmer erzählen es ihren Psychoanalytikern. Sensation jagt Sensation, Männer lieben Männer, Frauen lieben Frauen, rauchen, trinken, tragen Haare und Röcke kurz und verdienen eigenes Geld; Fritz Lang dreht Film um Film, Siegfried Kracauer studiert Ladenmädchen und die neue Angestelltenkultur, Immobilienspekulanten werden reich, Glücksritter arm, Franz Hessel flaniert, die Leuchtreklamen flackern, und die S-Bahn singt ein Lied dazu.§§Dieser Band wirft Schlaglichter auf einige der herausragenden Werke aus Architektur, Malerei, Bildhauerei, Film und Fotografie in diesem aufregenden, tumultuösen Jahrzehnt, darunter die Bauprojekte des Architekten Peter Behrens für den Alexanderplatz, Otto Dix' Bildnis der Journalistin Sylvia von Harden im Stil der Neuen Sachlichkeit, Lotte Jacobis Fotografien, die Fotocollagen der wunderbaren Hannah Höch oder Josef von Sternbergs Blauer Engel mit Marlene Dietrich. Ein Feuerwerk der Kreativität, des Eigensinns und der Vielfalt, das schon bald im Stumpfsinn der heraufziehenden Diktatur verlöschen sollte.

I believe there is a man inside every man, a stranger So writes Wilfred James in his confession. It's 1922. Wilfred owns eighty acres of farmland in Nebraska that have been in the family for generations. His wife, Arlette, owns an adjoining one hundred acres. But if Arlette carries out her threat to sell her land to a pig butcher, Wilfred will be forced to sell too. Worse, he'll have to move to the city. But he has a daring plan. It may work if he can persuade his son.

'Excellent' Richard Evans'Gripping . . . thoroughly researched and beautifully written . . . a warning for our times' Alex Watson, author of Ring of Steel'Fascinating . . . shows powerfully that there was nothing inevitable about the survival of Germany's young democracy in that year - nor about its death a decade later. A timely reminder' Katja Hoyer, author of Beyond the WallThe astonishing year when German democracy faced crisis and near destruction.1923 was one of the most remarkable years of modern European history. In January, France and Belgium militarily occupied Germany's economic heartland, the Ruhr; triggering a series of crises that almost spiralled out of control. Hyperinflation plunged millions into poverty. The search for scapegoats empowered political extremes. Hitler's populism ascended to national prominence. Communists, Nazis, separatists all thought that they could use the crises to destroy democracy. None succeeded. 1923 was the year of Hitler's first victory - and his first defeat. Fanning the flames of instability, anti-government and antisemitic sentiment, the Nazis' abortive yet pivotal putsch in a Munich beer hall failed when they were abandoned by their likeminded conservative allies. Drawing on previously unseen sources, Mark Jones weaves together a thrilling and resonant narrative of German lives in this turbulent time. Tracing Hitler's rise, we see how political pragmatism and international cooperation eventually steered the nation away from total insurrection. A decade later, when Weimar democracy eventually succumbed to tyranny, the warnings from 1923 - rising of nationalist rhetoric, fragile European consensus, and underestimation the of the enemies of liberalism - became only too apparent.This account of the republic's convulsions and survival offers a gripping image of a modern society in extreme crisis.
