 stock image, actual book may vary Quite possibly the most dangerous and intelligent member of the Nazi hierarchy, Joseph Goebbels s flair for propaganda and spectacular organization ensured the fu hrer s rise to power. As founder of the Reich Chamber of Culture, gauleiter of Berlin, and architect of complex machinery of modern totalitarian propaganda, Goebbels is considered one of the most evil figures of the twentieth century. It was through his understanding of the instruments of public enlightenment that the dictatorship was built and maintained. Through interviews with his friends and family and with information from his own unpublished diary, a remarkable picture of Goebbels emerges.

 stock image, actual book may vary From the acclaimed novelist and screenwriter of The Theory of Everything comes a revelatory look at the period immediately following Winston Churchill s ascendancy to Prime Minister soon to be a major motion picture starring Gary Oldman. He was speaking to the nation, the world, and indeed to history... May, 1940. Britain is at war. The horrors of blitzkrieg have seen one western European democracy after another fall in rapid succession to Nazi boot and shell. Invasion seems mere hours away. Just days after becoming Prime Minister, Winston Churchill must deal with this horror as well as a skeptical King, a party plotting against him, and an unprepared public. Pen in hand and typist-secretary at the ready, how could he change the mood and shore up the will of a nervous people? In this gripping day-by-day, often hour-by-hour account of how an often uncertain Churchill turned Britain around, the celebrated Bafta-winning writer Anthony McCarten exposes sides of the great man never seen before. He reveals how he practiced and re-wrote his key speeches, from Blood, toil, tears and sweat to We shall fight on the beaches ; his consideration of a peace treaty with Nazi Germany, and his underappreciated role in the Dunkirk evacuation; and, above all, how 25 days helped make one man an icon. Using new archive material, McCarten reveals the crucial behind-the-scenes moments that changed the course of history. It s a scarier and more human story than has ever been told. McCarten's pulse-pounding narrative transports the reader to those springtime weeks in 1940 when the fate of the world rested on the shoulders of Winston Churchill. A true story thrillingly told. Thoroughly researched and compulsively readable. Michael F. Bishop, Executive Director of the International Churchill Society

. While most of the world went to war with guns and ammunition, there were others who carried brushes and paint to the fray. Although little known at the time-and barely remembered half a century later-artists from all nations committed to paper or canvas their impressions of the immense events of which they were part. No war in history was as widely chronicled in art as was World War II.Some artists were commissioned by their governments or armed forces to record the battles, while others just felt the need to express their vision of the war. Some were already famous, and some became famous after-ward. Others made no subsequent mark on the art world, and still others never made it home at all.Ken McCormick and Hamilton Darby Perry, assisted by a team of researchers, have selected an exemplary sampling of these artworks-most of them never before published. The result is a powerful and moving look at a time when it seemed that war reached everywhere and touched everyone-from the front lines to the supply lines; from the foxholes and the gun turrets to the loading docks, mess tents, and hospitals; from bombed-out cities and refugee-swollen roads to home-front factories and war-bond raffles. This is a truly international collection-one that represents some 200 artists from a dozen countries-chosen from among the thousands and thousands of artworks hanging in museums and tucked away in archives. We see the war from every viewpoint. Of special note is a generous selection of paintings from the Soviet Union, most of them never before available to the West.Throughout, the art is married to a text of excerpted eyewitness accounts and dispatches-verbal sketches, that complement the immediacy of the potent images.This collection offers a highly charged look at the harshness of war, devastation of war, triumph, the fear, industriousness, sorrow, boredom, glory, stolen moments, waste, and grief of war-all as they've never been seen before

 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.

 stock image, actual book may vary Acclaimed historian John C. McManus, author of The Dead and Those About to Die , explores World War II s most ambitious invasion, Operation Market Garden, an immense, daring offensive to defeat Nazi Germany before the end of 1944. August 1944 saw the Allies achieve more significant victories than in any other month over the course of the war. The Germans were in disarray, overwhelmed on all fronts. Rumors swirled that the war would soon be over. On September 17, the largest airborne drop in military history commenced over Holland including two entire American divisions, the 101st and the 82nd. Their mission was to secure key bridges at such places as Son, Eindhoven, Grave, and Nijmegen until British armored forces could relieve them. The Germans, however, proved much stronger than the Allies anticipated. In eight days of ferocious combat, they mauled the airborne, stymied the tanks, and prevented the Allies from crossing the Rhine. September Hope conveys the American perspective like never before, through a vast array of new sources and countless personal interviews to create a truly revealing portrait of this searing human drama.
