European Holocaust Studies (EHS) publishes key international research results on the murder of the European Jews and its wider contexts.In recent years, scholars have rediscovered Hannah Arendt`s "boomerang thesis" the "coming home" of European colonialism as genocide on European soil as well as Raphael Lemkin`s work around his definition of genocide and the importance of its colonial dimensions. Germany and other European states are increasingly engaging in debates on comparing the Holocaust to other genocides and cases of mass killing, memorialization, "decolonization" and attempts to come to terms with the past ("Vergangenheitsbewaltigung").

Stahls classic book on Thucydides, here in English for the first time, penetrates as few others to the Greek writers deepest interests. Stahl reveals Thucydides work as a study in the fallibility of human projections. Above all, Thucydides is shown as interested in tracking how optimistic plans lead to irremediable suffering in the field of foreign policy. For this new edition, the original has been revised and enlarged by two chapters which reflect the authors subsequent work.

"La Vida de Jesús" de Ernest Renan es una biografía que busca retratar la vida de Jesucristo desde una perspectiva histórica y literaria. Renan explora el contexto político, cultural y religioso de Judea en el siglo I, mientras narra la vida de Jesus desde su nacimiento en Belen hasta su crucifixion en Jerusalen. Aunque Renan presenta a Jesus como un lider carismatico y moral, enfatiza su humanidad y destaca los aspectos mitologicos y legendarios de su vida. A traves de una prosa poetica y evocadora, Renan ofrece una interpretacion libre de los Evangelios, influenciada por su escepticismo religioso y su interes en la literatura antigua. "La Vida de Jesus" es una obra controvertida que ha generado debate sobre la naturaleza de la fe y la historicidad de los relatos biblicos.

Miles de cartas se intercambiaron durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVI entre la península italiana y la casa de negocios de Simón Ruiz, uno de los más importantes mercaderes en tiempos de Felipe II. Estas cartas conforman un valioso y excepcional archivo, pues son muy pocos los que nos han dejado las familias de mercaderes europeos de la Edad Moderna. La extraordinaria importancia de sus fondos ha concitado el interes de los historiados desde hace setenta años, ya que en ellos encontramos respuesta a muchos de los interrogantes planteados acerca de la economia en los momentos de emergencia del capitalismo en el mundo.Pero ademas de negocios, la correspondencia de Simon Ruiz aborda muchas otras cuestiones de aquel tiempo y arroja luz nitida sobre distintos aspectos del pasado concernientes a la sociedad, a la politica y a la cultura. Con el intento de descubrir todos estos nuevos temas, un equipo formado por historiadores, archiveros e informaticos procedentes de Italia y España ha abordado de forma conjunta una investigacion sobre este fondo epistolar, creando para ello un laboratorio virtual en el cual los investigadores han podido intercambiar sus respectivos trabajos con las cartas procedentes de Roma, Venecia, Genova, Milan, Malta y Lisboa.Los principales resultados de esta investigacion aparecen recogidos en este libro colectivo, en el cual se nos muestran aspectos novedosos que explican las intensas relaciones mantenidas entre las gentes del mundo iberico y las del ambito italiano durante los siglos pasados.

A raíz de sus ataques a las costas de España y a sus posesiones ultramarinas, el corsario inglés Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540-1596) representó una amenaza constante para el dominio político y mercantil del imperio español en las ultimas decadas del siglo XVI. Las interpretaciones narrativas de sus ataques a los territorios españoles en America trajeron consigo los argumentos desde los cuales tanto españoles como ingleses reclamaron soberania y posesion del Nuevo Mundo. Como fruto de esta rivalidad, los escritores españoles e ingleses utilizaron las mismas estrategias retoricas, y expresaron las mismas demandas para diseñar y respaldar sus respectivos imperios transatlanticos.El presente estudio examina las representaciones del corsario ingles Sir Francis Drake en la literatura española e inglesa de los siglos XVI y XVII. Se analizan ambos corpus textuales en virtud del contencioso intercambio de informacion que ocurrio entre ambos paises durante la temprana edad moderna; un topico que no ha sido explorado previamente en detalle y que da cuenta de como la pirateria se utilizo como un arma retorica en una guerra ideologica. Al analizar ambos corpus simultaneamente, Disputas de altamar demuestra que los escritores españoles reconstruyeron la historia del descubrimiento y conquista de America a la luz de lo que escribian sus adversarios, y viceversa.

From the revolutionary use of drones to staged coups, child abduction and psychological warfare, the war in Ukraine is like no other. It is a new form of total war, combining traditional military force with all the non-military tools of the Russian state. The 2022 invasion was just the next stage of a conflict that Russia has been fighting since 2005, using all the tactics at its disposal to control Ukraines politics and wreak havoc.Combining over a decade of research, astute analysis and powerful stories from the front line, and including striking photographs of the people and scenes he encountered along the way, Bob Seely has written the authoritative guide to this new form of conflict. Travelling extensively throughout Ukraine, Seely meets figures such as Panoushka, the sniper who continues to fight despite the loss of her fiance, and Ksenia, the seventeen-year-old who journeyed through Russia searching for her abducted younger brother. Above all, Seely argues that understanding Moscows new total war is critical because Russia considers itself at war with the West as well as Ukraine, directing some of the tactics used there against us.Insightful, gripping and at times moving, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the unconventional methods Russia and other authoritarian states will use to challenge the West for global supremacy and undermine our beliefs, power and influence.

Winner of the Best Non-Fiction by a Parliamentarian category at the Parliamentary Book Awards 2023With a Foreword by Lord Hague of RichmondThe Intelligence Corps is one of the smallest and most secretive elements of the British Army. It has existed in various guises since the early twentieth century, but it was only formally constituted in July 1940. In this book, Michael Ashcroft tells the astonishing stories of some of its most courageous and ingenious figures, who have operated all over the world from the First World War to the present day.Whether carrying out surveillance work on the street, monitoring and analysing communications, working on overseas stakeouts, receiving classified information from a well-placed contact or interrogating the enemy in the heat of war, a hugely diverse range of people have served in the Corps, often supplementing their individual professional skills with original thinking and leadership in the name of the Crown. This book pays tribute to them and shows why, in the words of the 1st Duke of Marlborough, No war can be conducted successfully without early and good intelligence.

Popularly known as the AK47 or just AK, the 7.62mm Avtomat Kalashnikov obrazets 1947g was accepted into service by the Soviet Army in 1947. Despite its widespread use by the Soviet armed forces, the AK only became known in the West during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, when Soviet troops sent to quell the uprising carried the new weapon. Since then it has become probably the most widely recognized firearm of all time, having seen action in most of the conflicts of the past six decades.The Kalashnikov has been produced in many variants and calibres, and this book concentrates on those in the original 7.62mm form. Illustrated with over 350 colour photographs of AK variants produced around the world, including close-ups of the many fascinating detail differences, this work will be an invaluable addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in modern military firearms. The most widely used firearm of the post-war era - the Kalashnikov rifle has become an icon of revolutionary struggle. Covers the principal design features of the AK variants that used the original 7.62x39mm M1943 cartridge. Will be of great interest to militaria enthusiasts, collectors and military historians of modern military firearms. Superbly illustrated with 350 colour photographs showing the different versions produced around the world. Martin J Brayley has a keen interest in military history and is a professional photogapher, author and dedicated militaria researcher and collector.

Este libro aborda el tema de las pinturas rupestres desde el campo de la historia con el apoyo de diferentes disciplinas con la finalidad de lograr las lecturas de algunos lienzos de piedra de diferentes sitios de la peninsula de Baja California. En esa busqueda el autor incursiona en el tema del poblamiento temprano de la peninsula y la posible autoria de las pinturas rupestres por diferentes grupos indigenas como los cochimies, guaycuras y pericues, asi como grupos anteriores. Relata acerca de ellos algunos de sus mitos fundacionales y su relacion con sitios rupestres del area serrana de Guadalupe y San Francisco, particularmente los del cañon de Santa Teresa y San Borjita. En esa busqueda la investigacion logra establecer una relacion entre formas monumentales de caracter sagrado que se localizan en la region austral con las de las sierras centrales de la peninsula. En esta investigacion se aprovecha la informacion de los primeros informes y cartas del periodo misional que comenzaron a realizarse con motivo de la fundacion del Real de Guadalupe en La Paz, San Bruno, y la mision de Loreto. La lectura del paisaje como un asunto vinculado al ritual encuentra en este relato su relacion con formas pictoricas monumentales que son estudiadas desde la manifestacion de lo sagrado del mundo indigena. Este libro aporta como novedad interpretaciones a partir del encuentro de una forma gigantesca de serpiente que aguarda desde el fondo de la cueva de San Borjita y que hasta hoy habia pasado desapercibida.

La historia, buen referente para los tiempos de crisis, informa nuestro presente desde esta experiencia. Este libro trata, en primer lugar, de la conexión entre el taller del historiador y la explicacion de la historia: como se construye este saber. En segundo lugar se identifica a los agentes de la historia (personas, colectivos y fuerzas sociales), se rastrea como la producen y se diseña su desarrollo, desde los tiempos del arco y la flecha hasta los de internet. En fin, la tercera de sus claves es tomarle el pulso a la historiografia desde la Antiguedad a nuestros dias, incidiendose en la crisis de certidumbres que desde tos años setenta del siglo XX ha afectado a las humanidades y ciencias sociales y ha diversificado y enriquecido los enfoques de la historia social.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Kateryna hung up her dresses, Oksana and Stanislav put down their lawyers briefs and Oksen slammed shut his philosophy textbooks. Alongside thousands of their fellow citizens, they strapped on armour, picked up weapons and chose to risk their lives for the freedom and independence of their homeland. Many would never return.Journalist Tom Mutch woke up in Kyiv on 24 February to a world changed for ever. Making a fateful choice to stay and cover the invasion, he witnessed the forging of an iron generation of young Ukrainians. With first-hand reporting from all the major battlegrounds and front lines, The Dogs of Mariupol recounts the wars notorious encounters, such as the Battle of Kyiv and the Siege of Mariupol, but also uncovers untold stories, like the 1st Tank Brigades desperate defence of Chernihiv and the civilian guerrilla army fighting overwhelming odds in Sumy.This is not a triumphalist account of Ukraines fight, however. It painstakingly documents the immense human catastrophe wrought on Ukrainian society and the divisions between those who fought and those who fled. It also delves deeper into events to answer important historical questions: could the Russian plan to capture Kyiv have succeeded? Did Ukraine make a fatal error by committing for so long to the defence of Bakhmut? And with more western support, could Ukraine have won this terrible war outright?

On 29 May 1944 General George S. Patton gave a speech in the south-east of England to the men of his Army in which he spoke of the American desire to win and of how losing was hateful to Americans. As he rose to his crescendo, he said how much he pitied those sons of bitches we are going up against - by God, I do. On that same day General Omar Bradley gave a calmer speech in Somerset to the men of his Army about how much rested on the upcoming invasion of northern France and how vital their role was in achieving victory. Apart from the very different tones of the speeches reflecting the opposite character of the two Army commanders, there was another big difference. Bradley was speaking to men who in a little over a week would be splashing ashore on the beaches of Normandy. Patton was addressing an Army that didnt exist.The Army That Never Was tells the story of the biggest deception operation of the Second World War - the plan to mislead the Germans into thinking that the invasion of Europe would come at the Pas de Calais, by inventing an entirely fake Army group in the south-east of England. Full of fascinating characters from the US, Britain and Germany, this compelling and propulsive narrative explores one of the most remarkable stories of the Second World War.

Early in World War II, fifty obsolete US Navy destroyers were transferred to the Royal Navy in return for a 99-year lease on British bases in the Caribbean, Bahamas and Newfoundland. Though they were obsolete and far from ideal, they played a vital role in the Royal Navys campaign. This is their complete story. Topics covered include the background to the acquisition of the ships, the Battle of the Atlantic; their specification and design, and modifications in RN service; operations and achievements, such as the St Nazaire raid and finally, losses and accidents. This authoritative text is supported by many contemporary photographs and twenty eight detailed plans prepared specially for this book. Superbly illustrated with fifty contemporary black & white photographs and twenty-eight plans specially drawn by the author.
