La prima guerra mondiale ha rappresentato la travolgente catastrofe da è scaturito tutto il resto nel ventesimo secolo. Dieci milioni di combattenti sono morti, altri venti milioni sono rimasti feriti, quattro imperi sono andati distrutti e anche gli imperi dei vincitori ne sono usciti fatalmente danneggiati.La seconda guerra mondiale è il conflitto che tra il 1939 e il 1945 ha visto confrontarsi da un lato le potenze dell'Asse e dall'altro i paesi Alleati. Viene definito mondiale in quanto, così come già accaduto per la Grande Guerra, vi parteciparono nazioni di tutti i continenti e le operazioni belliche interessarono gran parte del pianeta.

The six years 1939-45 were a time of hardship, change, excitement and tragedy for the residents of Cholsey, a village in rural Berkshire. Rationing, the black-out and shortages affected everyone, while many feared for their loved ones away in the forces. Some of those who could not fight volunteered in the village, becoming members of the Home Guard, Land Army, the Air Raid Protection (ARP) force or the Auxiliary Fire Service.But for 12 men, as listed on Cholsey war memorials, it would be the end of their lives. They were career military men, conscripts and those who volunteered following the outbreak of war, and their ranks ranged from Private to Sergeant Major and Flight Lieutenant.

This book tells their stories for the first time.Based on extensive new research, this work is a record for posterity of the sacrifices made at home and abroad of a generation that rose to an almighty challenge.

Chartres, Marseille, Paris, Lyon, Caluire, Saint-Andiol : c¿est l¿itinéraire commun du préfet-résistant Jean Moulin et du commissaire-résistant Charles Porte.

Nach 1945 schlugen die Alliierten Kapital aus deutscher Technologie und Wissenschaft: Deutsche Spezialisten leisteten nicht nur einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung der Luftfahrt, sondern auch Pionierarbeit auf dem Gebiet der Raumfahrt. Eng verbunden damit war die Arbeit einer Gruppe deutscher Luftfahrtmediziner, an der Spitze der westfälische Physiologe Hubertus Strughold stand. Er folgte einem 1947 von US-Seite ergangenen Ruf ins texanische San Antonio, wo er 1949 die Leitung der weltersten raumfahrtmedizinischen Abteilung übernahm. Mit der biomedizinischen Grundlagenarbeit wurden die Voraussetzungen für den bemannten Raumflug geschaffen und Perspektiven für deren weitere Entwicklung aufgezeigt. So unbestritten Strugholds Lebenswerk ist, so kontrovers wird sein Wirken unter medizinethischen Gesichtspunkten als führender Flugmediziner im Reichsluftfahrtministerium 1935-1945 bewertet. In der vorliegenden Neuauflage der bereits 2004 veröffentlichten Biographie und deren englischen Übersetzung 2013 wird der Versuch unternommen, basierend auf biographisch gefestigte Erkenntnisse unter Beachtung des Zeitkontextes die Person und Ihr nachhaltiges Wirken nachzuzeichnen.

Der Band vereinigt die beiden kulturhistorischen Essays »Albigenser, Inquisitoren und Troubadoure« sowie »Verteidigung der Templer«. »Unter der Hand und zwischen den Zeilen entsteht das gewaltige Tableau einer apokryphen Wanderbewegung durch die Geschichte, die immer aufs neue niedergemacht wird und doch unaufhaltsam vorwärtsziehend der Macht die Stirn bietet und die Machtgeschichte überholt. Die Ketzer sind wie jene missliebigen Engel, die bei Nacht und Nebel die armen Sünder in den Himmel schmuggeln, Zbigniew Herberts Helden - und unsere längst auch.« Sibylle Cramer, Süddeutsche Zeitung

This book showcases new historical research on foreign soldiers, including an overview of the early modern period and numerous case studies which cover the last 175 years and stretch over 5 continents.The last two decades have seen the term 'foreign fighter' enter our everyday vocabulary. The insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Syrian Civil War and the rise and fall of the Islamic State group have sparked public interest in the phenomenon of people choosing to leave their own country and fight in a foreign conflict. Foreign fighters, their origins, motives, activities and potential danger to their home countries have become subjects of debate, attracting contributions from politicians, military personnel, the media, political scientists, legal scholars but to a much lesser extent from historians. The ten essayss in this volume showcase new historical research on foreign military labour.The aim of the volume is to better understand the experiences and challenges faced by both the foreigners and the host country, particularly its armed forces, and to highlight the significance of these trends to the contemporary debate on foreign fighters. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal European Review of History.

This book shows how the predominantly national focus that characterises studies of the United States after 1783 can be integrated with global trends, as viewed from the perspective of imperial history. The book also argues that historians of European empires have much to gain by considering the United States after 1783 as a newly-decolonised country that acquired overseas territorial possessions in 1898 and remained a member of the Western 'imperial club' until the mid-twentieth century.The wide-ranging synthesis by A. G. Hopkins, American Empire: A Global History (2018), provides the starting point for contributions that appraise its main theme and take it in new directions. The first three chapters identify fresh approaches to U.S. history between the Revolution and the Civil War, suggesting ways in which the United States can be considered as a newly-decolonised country, examining shifting meanings of the term 'empire, ' and reassessing the character of continental expansion. The second group deals with initiatives and responses in the Philippines and Cuba, reconsidering the character of nationalism in two of the most important overseas territories that were either ruled directly or controlled indirectly by the United States, and placing it an international context. The third group examines the exercise of U.S. power in the twentieth century, identifying aspects of international law that have been overlooked and reviewing the extensive literature on the controversial themes of the Cold War and informal empire after 1945. The ten chapters in this edited volume bring together noted specialists on the history of international relations, the United States, and the insular empire it ruled in the twentieth century. The chapters were originally published as articles in a special issue of The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History.
