A captivating mosaic of wartime Berlin Katja Hoyer, Financial TimesBrilliant and beautifully written Anne ApplebaumBrings to life Berlin during World War II so vividly that you can imagine yourself blithely strolling the streets of the city or hunkering down in the bomb shelters Barbara DemickA rich and fascinating portrait of Berlin at warLiterary ReviewWonderfully nuancedGuardianWhen war broke out in September 1939, what was most striking in the German capital at first was how little changed. Unless you were Jewish. Then life, already hard, soon got unfathomably worse. Drawing on diaries, letters and memoirs, Stay Alive chronicles daily life in wartime Berlin with extraordinary power and immediacy. Here are the movie stars and swing dancers, the resistance circles and SS patrols hunting deserters, the desperate calculations of survival and collaboration. As Allied bombs reduced the city to rubble and Soviet troops closed in, the common greeting of Berliners became not auf Wiedersehen or Heil Hitler but bleiben Sie ubrig - Stay alive.Revelatory, devastating and deeply humane, this book illuminates how ordinary people navigated the moral catastrophe of the Third Reich - what it meant to resist, to conform or simply to endure. Buruma shows how a societys accommodation to evil unfolds one compromise at a time, and why understanding this descent remains urgently relevant today.

After his masterpieces on Germany and England, James Hawes has done it again... a wonder to behold PROFESSOR CIARAN MARTIN From the Ice Age to the present, here is the real story of Ireland. In The Shortest History of Ireland, James Hawes turns his attention to Ireland, reaching beyond the cliches to tell a dramatic new story, backed up by the latest scholarship. Irish history is often seen as a mere catalogue of colonial repression. Yet Hawes shows that Ireland, its unique culture rooted in millennia of continuity, has always been able to assimilate would-be invaders. He reveals how the Irish, ever since the roaming saints and scholars of the early Middle Ages, helped shape Europe, then America. And he argues that, with its natural wealth, its extraordinary magnetism and its exiled children across the globe, the island only needs to sidestep the last, toxic wreckage of the British Empire for its turbulent past to flow into a bright future. With 100s of maps and images, this is popular history at its best -- a timeless drama of freedom and persecution, riot and revolution, empire and independence.

"Reina Victoria de Lytton Strachey es una biografía magistral que captura con elegancia y agudeza la vida de una de las monarcas más influyentes de la historia británica. Publicado en 1921, este retrato de la soberana del Imperio Britanico no solo describe su ascenso al trono a los 18 años, sino que examina su transformacion de joven timida a simbolo del poder y la estabilidad del siglo XIX.Con una narrativa precisa y critica, Strachey expone la complejidad de la reina: su profundo sentido del deber, su moral victoriana, sus pasiones personales y su influencia en la politica nacional e internacional. A traves de episodios clave como sus relaciones con el primer ministro Lord Melbourne, el principe Alberto y sus nueve hijos, el autor revela las dimensiones humanas detras del icono real.Strachey no idealiza, pero tampoco destruye. Su estilo ironico y objetivo ofrece un equilibrio entre respeto y escepticismo, humanizando a Victoria sin diluir su importancia historica. Esta biografia representa un punto de inflexion en el genero, alejandose del tono reverente tradicional para abrazar una aproximacion literaria, psicologica e interpretativa.Reina Victoria es una lectura esencial para quienes buscan comprender el alma de una epoca a traves de una figura que la definio."

An enduring gem, Joe Brainards I Remember is a literary and artistic cult classic. Brainards method was brilliantly simple: to set down specific memories as they rose to the surface of his consciousness, each beginning with the refrain I remember: I remember that little jerk you give just before you fall asleep. Like falling.Recollections jokes, confessions, daydreams and memories were carefully, lovingly woven together. They were of family and friends; of movie stars; of early heterosexual fumblings and later gay life. Brainards pared-back prose dodged both self-pity and judgement of others, and was written with an ear for musical cadence and an extraordinary painters eye. The result is witty, incantatory, profound and wholly captivating.

Published in 1933, and still relevant today, Orwells first full-length work is a compassionate and insightful description of the life of the working poor in Paris and the homeless in London. Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, he vividly documents a world of unrelenting squalor sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses, working as a plongeur in a Paris hotel, surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain. Exposing a shocking, previously-hidden world to his readers, Orwell gave a human face to the statistics of poverty for the first time and in doing so, found his voice as a writer. Orwell was the great moral force of his age Spectator

This monograph examines the potential utility of history as a source of education and possible guidance for the U.S. Army. The author considers the worth in the claim that since history (more accurately termed the past) is all done and gone, it can have no value for today as we try to look forward. This point of view did not find much favor here. The monograph argues that although history does not repeat itself in detail, it certainly does so roughly in parallel circumstances. Of course, much detail differs from one historical case to another, but nonetheless, there are commonly broad and possibly instructive parallels that can be drawn from virtually every period of history, concerning most circumstances.Contents:Should the U.S. Army Learn From History?Understanding the Past: A Foreign Country?Persisting Concerns and Enduring HazardsA Familiar Past?
