The Aleutians Campaign and the U.S. Navy, first published in 1945, provides an overview of WWII naval operations against the Japanese-held Aleutian Islands of Alaska. On June 3-4, 1942, Japanese aircraft attacked the naval base at Dutch Harbor, followed by landings of troops on Kiska (June 6) and Attu (June 7). Although of limited strategic value, occupation of the islands was anathema to Americans, and the US Army established an air base on Adak in August 1942. From there, bombers began raids on Japanese positions and the Navy engaged the enemy offshore. In May 1943, US forces landed on Attu, with support of US warships, and engaged in heavy fighting. By the end of the month, fighting was over with heavy casualties on both sides (and the near-total decimation of the entire Japanese force). In August, allied forces landed on Kiska to find that the Japanese had already, in secret, abandoned the island. The Aleutians Campaign and the U.S. Navy provides a contemporary view of this little known theater of the war, fought in a harsh environment against a determined enemy. Illustrated with maps and photographs.

What followed were more than two months of bloody fighting resulting in heavy casualties before the island was declared secure in late November. Included are more than 90 photographs and maps.

Der Genozid in Ruanda kostete 1994 in nur hundert Tagen mehr als eine Million Menschen das Leben. Zu Opfern wurden vor allem die Tutsi, aber auch oppositionelle Hutus. Beginnend mit den »hamitischen Theorien« aus der Kolonialzeit rekonstruiert Anne Peiter zunächst die ideologischen, dann die komplexen innen- und außenpolitischen Zusammenhänge, die zum Genozid führten. Mithilfe von Text- und Bildquellen schildert sie den Verlauf der Massengewalt, die extreme Grausamkeit der Täter_innen und die Schnelligkeit der Massaker, um sich schließlich der Frage zuzuwenden, warum die internationale Gemeinschaft unfähig war, rechtzeitig einzugreifen. Überlegungen zum erinnerungspolitischen Umgang mit der Katastrophe seit der Befreiung der Überlebenden runden den Überblick ab. Peiters Beobachtungen zeigen: Dreißig Jahre nach dem Ereignis muss die Frage nach der Vermeidung von Genoziden neu gestellt werden. Die vergleichende Betrachtung zwischen dem Genozid in Ruanda und dem Genozid an der jüdischen Bevölkerung Europas mag sich in diesem Kontext als nützlich erweisen. Wie kann dem Ruf »Nie wieder!« tatsächlich zur Wirksamkeit verholfen werden?

Das Außenlager Flößberg war von Dezember 1944 bis April 1945 als Außenstandort des Konzentrationslagers Buchenwald in Betrieb. Jüdische wie nichtjüdische Männer aus ganz Europa wurden hier für den Leipziger Rüstungskonzern HASAG ausgebeutet, misshandelt und getötet: »Ein Tag in Flößberg«, so ein ehemaliger Gefangener, »war wie ein ganzes Leben im Tod. Der Dreck, der Schlamm, die Qualen, die Brutalität, das war jenseits aller Vorstellungskraft.«Dieses Buch versucht, Flößberg als Teil des NS-Ausbeutungs- und Vernichtungssystems sichtbar zu machen. Es soll die Stimmen einiger der unzähligen Menschen, die hier zur Zwangsarbeit herangezogen wurden, bewahren, und die Verantwortlichen im System verorten. Um diese Strukturen zu verstehen, braucht es mehr als nur den Blick auf einzelne Gewaltausübende und auf den Ort des Geschehens. Es braucht die Details, die Biografien, den Vergleich, um den beispiellosen Terror nachzuvollziehen.

This is a study of sea power and maritime strategy in the Classical Greek world. More than just a study of navies and battles, it examines how the sea was used to influence events ashore and how the use of naval power combined with land power had a defining impact on the period. After an examination of the oft-overlooked practical issues of navigation and administration, the book explores the idea of a 'maritime consciousness' in Greece and how this shaped the way the Greeks engaged in war. Naval operations from the Persian Wars down to the rise of Thebes are examined at the operational and strategic level, including a catalogue of the hundreds of different maritime operations from the 5 th and 4 th centuries BCE. Further, while the great sea power Athens is most prominent, it looks at other city-states to examine how they utilised sea power. This new approach uses modern theory to highlight some enduring lessons of sea power. It demonstrates that Classical scholars should embrace sea power as an important concept in the Greek world. Modern scholars of naval and strategic studies should cast their gaze further back in time when looking for lessons in sea power. This book helps to bridge the scholarship between these two disciplines.

This work examines the CFE Treaty as a factor in Russia's foreign and security policy. Moscow showed amazing persistence in their relationship with the "cornerstone of European security." Their approach to the treaty was a genuine attempt to shape the security environment in Europe and the former USSR. The treaty also enabled the dismantling of large conventional forces as they returned from Eastern Europe and transitioned into the armies of the newly independent states of the former USSR. The CFE Treaty, though, proved ineffective at constraining the enlargement of NATO. Simultaneously, Moscow's foreign and security policy evolved from one that focused on the domestic development of the country to that of a more confident state reasserting itself as a great power. Drawing extensively on primary sources and analyses by Russian authors, this book employs two historical narratives, case studies, and a conceptual framework to show that while Moscow remained engaged with the CFE Treaty, undesired effects on Russia's national interests gradually accrued at the expense of desired ones, leading Vladimir Putin to withdraw Russia from the treaty as an act of de-coupling from the "collective West." This book is relevant to scholars and policymakers who want to understand Russia's approach to arms control as an element of military security.

Das Salzkammergut - eine der weltweit schönsten Berg- und Kulturregionen - war in nationalsozialistischer Zeit Brennpunkt vieler Gegensätze, die der neue Reiseführer zugänglich macht. Brutale »Arisierungen«, Kunstraub, KZ-Nebenlager, Mütter- und Flüchtlingsheime existierten hier neben besonders erbittertem Widerstand gegen Hitler und das NS-Regime.Im Jahr 1945 war die Region einer der letzten Kampfplätze des »Dritten Reichs«. In Hitlers berüchtigter »Alpenfestung« wurden geraubte Kunstwerke gelagert, die vor dem Bombenkrieg geschützt und in den letzten Tagen vor der Befreiung auf Befehl des Regimes vernichtet werden sollten. In der Nachkriegszeit überdeckten »Wirtschaftswunder« und Massentourismus die vielen Wunden der Region. Die Schönheiten des Salzkammerguts können heute aber nicht ohne diese oft sehr unbequemen Vergangenheiten betrachtet werden.Bad Ischl mit dem umliegenden Salzkammergut ist die Europäische Kulturhauptstadt 2024 und gerade wenn internationales Publikum auf die Stadt und ihre Umgebung blickt, dürfen die historischen Verstrickungen und nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen nicht unerwähnt bleiben, denn sie wirken bis heute nach.

This book examines patterns of behavior during an era of mass brutality by analyzing, in a transnational context, mechanisms of violence and ethnic cleansing in the Balkan Wars of 1912¿13. The main goal is to incorporate these conflicts into the broader discussion of the Greater War (1917¿1923), thereby challenging western, Eurocentric dominance of historiography about the First World War. In contrast to earlier works of the political, diplomatic, and military history of the Balkan Wars, this book deals with what took place behind the front lines. Panagiotis Delis explores interactions between the regular army, irregulars, and local civilians, and discusses how the collective experience of war generated an undeclared ¿war on the sidelines¿.The Balkan Wars: Notions of Violence and Ethnic Cleansing on the Eve of the First World War is a fascinating new assessment of an important but often neglected conflict. It is also a major new contribution to our understanding of the mechanisms of violence and ethnic cleansing.The Balkan Wars have a special place in the history of twentieth-century violence and one that is not often recognised in Western scholarship. As Panagiotis Delis shows in his excellent book, many of the logics and practices of violence that came to dominate in Europe between 1914 and 1945 were anticipated in the Balkan Wars.¿Robert Gerwarth, Professor, Director, UCD Centre for War StudiesThis is a rigorously researched and masterfully analyzed study of violence at the local level, offering an indispensable comparative perspective on several Balkan borderlands.¿Theodora Dragostinova, Professor of History, The Ohio State UniversityPanagiotis Delis holds a PhD in history from Simon Fraser University. He serves as a permanent civil servant and as research associate at the University of Athens.
