 stock image, actual book may vary From the bestselling author of On Tyranny , the definitive history of Hitler's and Stalin's wars against the civilians of Europe in World War Two Americans call the Second World War "The Good War."But before it even began, America's wartime ally Josef Stalin had killed millions of his own citizens--and kept killing them during and after the war. Before Hitler was finally defeated, he had murdered six million Jews and nearly as many other Europeans. At war's end, both the German and the Soviet killing sites fell behind the iron curtain, leaving the history of mass killing in darkness. Bloodlands is a new kind of European history, presenting the mass murders committed by the Nazi and Stalinist regimes as two aspects of a single history, in the time and place where they occurred: between Germany and Russia, when Hitler and Stalin both held power. Assiduously researched, deeply humane, and utterly definitive, Bloodlands will be required reading for anyone seeking to understand the central tragedy of modern history. Bloodlands won twelve awards including the Emerson Prize in the Humanities, a Literature Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Leipzig Award for European Understanding, and the Hannah Arendt Prize in Political Thought. It has been translated into more than thirty languages, was named to twelve book-of-the-year lists, and was a bestseller in six countries.

 stock image, actual book may vary A complete and authoritative account of Britain's secret war in Italy during World War II a potent mix of military history and clandestine derring-do behind enemy lines Based on recently released official files, documents retrieved from other agencies, diaries, memoirs, and personal interviews, this book provides the definitive account of Britain's secret war in Italy the heroic exploits, the larger than life participants, and the extraordinary, against-the-odds achievements. In May 1945 Italy was liberated from Nazism and Fascism by the British Eighth and American Fifth Armies. By that time the Italian resistance movement had emerged as one of the strongest in Europe, crucially aided and abetted by the UK's Special Operations Executive. As what Winston Churchill graphically described as the "red-hot rake of the battle-line" advanced bloodily up the Italian peninsula, clandestine cells in the cities and partisan bands in the countryside fought to free their country from enemy occupation and shape the politics of Italy's postwar future. SOE in Italy, known as No. 1 Special Force, parachuted in dozens of missions to supply the underground with weapons and ammunition, food, and supplies. In a remarkable twist it also secretly collaborated with its former enemy, the Italian military intelligence service, and with the Italian navy, which used fast torpedo boats and rubber dinghies to land British agents on heavily defended beaches.

 stock image, actual book may vary In the autumn of 1944, during fierce fighting in the Vosges Mountains of eastern France, one of the most amazing incidents in military history occurred: the rescue of two infantry battalions, one American, one German, cut off, far behind the enemy lines of each. The 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry "Alamo Regiment" , had been cut off for six days with food, water, and ammunition running out, when the Japanese-American Nisei of the famed "Go For Broke" 442d Regimental Combat Team were called upon to give their all to break through and save the Texans. At virtually the same time and place, the Wehrmacht's 202d Mountain Battalion, thrown into combat without adequate preparation, had also been cut off, and its sister unit - the 201st Mountain Battalion - had to perform an equally desperate rescue. The weather was abysmal, the terrain almost impassable. For the Germans, it was a last stand, and they would fight to the death. The Americans, caught in their bloodiest fight since Anzio, came to call the battlefield "the crossroads of hell." Nisei casualties were devastating. Some generals lost their sons there, and other generals lost only their honor.

 stock image, actual book may vary This is a true story about aninnocent 18-year old plucked from his small hometown in California who foundhimself at 19 riding in the nose of a heavy bomber under conditions he couldnot possibly have imagined. The book explores the excruciating tension betweenhis innocence and the raw reality of war. As a bombardier riding in a Plexiglas compartment, the author had a unique vantage point from which he could behold grand vistas. He witnessed the beauty of clouds and the highaltitude sky, the ever-changing scene below of sea, mountains, rivers and towns. But he also observed armadas of bombers stretching out ahead like flocksof geese, the horrifying barrages of black antiaircraft fire, the menace ofenemy interceptors and the heartbreaking spectacle of wounded bombers. This book follows the everyday activities of a bombardier in the 8th Air Force during World War II. There are no heroics in this account other than thecourage of men who performed their jobs despite withering enemy opposition andthe ever-present specter of sudden death. It is a collage of agonizingapprehensions, numbing fright, occasional pride, bitter disappointments, abjectloneliness, fits of anger and even good times. The author wrote the book in 1st person, present tense so that, in a sense, the reader could ride with him inthe glassed-in nose of a B-17. He bolstered his recollections of each missionwith raw facts gleaned from tattered and yellowing mission reports that are filed in neat folders in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and from numerous letters sent to andkept by his parents.
