 stock image, actual book may vary Besides being a success, the 1936 Olympics were also a vast razzle-dazzle that blurred the outlines of a threat to Western Civilization . 1936. The Nazis control Germany. And the Olympic Games are coming to Berlin. The Olympic Games of 1936 were an important episode in the development of Nazi Germany. Much of the success of the 1936 Olympics was due to the pursuit by the Nazis of supremacy in mass pageantry. Richard D. Mandell has written a brilliant and chilling expose of the most bizarre festival in the history of sports. Tracing the modern Olympics from their modest beginnings to their ironic climax in Berlin in 1936, he describes the staging of a fantasy-drama that was, in essence, a superbly engineered piece of Nazi realpolitik . Over 5,000 athletes from 28 nations fought as political gladiators. Hundreds of pampered foreigners, journalists, businessmen, and diplomats abandoned themselves and their judgment to the extravaganza. Even Jew-baiting was temporarily halted. The athletes became de-individualized acolytes of a special kind of temple prostitution . Black, beautiful, and innocent Jesse Owens Helen Stephens, the fastest woman in the world Kitei Son, a Korean running the marathon under the hated Japanese flag The statuesque, half-Jewish fencing champion, Helene Mayer, who became a cause c l bre by competing under the swastika. Have many people fully understood the grim lessons of 1936? Richard Mandell opens The Nazi Olympics to public scrutiny. Richard D. Mandell 1929-2013 was a professor of history at the University of South Carolina. He was also the author of Sport: A Cultural History, The First Modern Olympics. and The Nazi Olympics

 stock image, actual book may vary In 1942, Leo Marks left his father's famous bookshop, 84 Charing Cross Road, and went off to fight the war. He was twenty-two. Soon recognized as a cryptographer of genius, he became head of communications at the Special Operations Executive SOE , where he revolutionized the codemaking techniques of the Allies and trained some of the most famous agents dropped into occupied Europe, including "the White Rabbit" and Violette Szabo. As a top codemaker, Marks had a unique perspective on one of the most fascinating and, until now, little-known aspects of the Second World War. Writing with the narrative flair and vivid characterization of his famous screenplays, Marks gives free rein to his keen sense of the absurd and his wry wit, resulting in a thrilling and poignant memoir that celebrates individual courage and endeavor, without losing sight of the human cost and horror of war.

 stock image, actual book may vary World War II at Sea, using a fine selection of contemporary pictures, looks again at most of the major naval engagements fought between 1939 and 1945 and asks whether everything was as clear cut as earlier accounts have suggested. For instance, how many battles might have had a different outcome if one side or the other had had better communications, or better intelligence, or just that little bit of extra luck? World War II at Sea considers whether those involved fully appreciated the role of aerial reconnaissance, of carrier tactics and of the submarine, the latter proving all but decisive in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. It also examines whether there was too great an emphasis on destroyers fighting U-bots, and not enough on the safe and timely arrival of convoys. Finally, this book asks the reader to bear in mind the importance of a factor so often ignored in naval histories: the role of the sea itself.

 stock image, actual book may vary In the first of two volumes on the American contribution to the Allied victory at Normandy, John C. McManus examines, with great intensity and thoroughness, the American experience in the weeks leading up to D-Day and on the great day itself. From the build up in England to the night drops of airborne forces behind German lines and the landings on the beaches at dawn, from the famed figures of Eisenhower, Bradley, and Lightin' Joe Collins to the courageous, but little-known privates who fought so bravely, and under terrifying conditions, this is the story of the American experience at D-Day. What were the battles really like for the Americans at Utah and Omaha? What drove them to fight despite all adversity? How and why did they triumph? Thanks to extensive archival research, and the use of hundreds of first hand accounts, McManus answers these questions and many more. Impressively researched, engrossing, lightning quick, and filled with human sorrow and elation, The Americans at D-Day honors those Americans who lost their lives on D-Day, as well as those who were fortunate enough to survive.
