The military general who became Emperor Hirohito’s prime minister, Tojo Hideki is most often remembered as an iron-fisted leader who dragged Japan into World War II and—after spectacular losses—was eventually executed as a war criminal. Yet Tojo was far more than his ignominious end. In fact, as Peter Mauch argues, he was one of the twentieth century's most accomplished military statesmen.

Churchill and the Crown tells the story of Churchill's relationship with the various kings and queens he served during his long political career, from young journalist under Edward VII, through his dramatic fall from grace in the First World War under George V, the frustrations of appeasement during the interwar period and his relationship with Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of 1936, culminating in his Finest Hour in the Second World War under George VI and the coda of Churchill's public service to his final monarch: Queen Elizabeth II.

An eye–opening portrait of Lincoln behind the scenes: Here is the career–long party politician whose brilliant coalition–building during the Civil War set the political foundation for emancipation and Union victory.

In the quiet Cambridgeshire countryside, between the villages of Coton and Madingley, lies a place where history and memory meet. The Cambridge American Cemetery, with its sweeping lawns, shining headstones, and solemn Wall of the Missing, is the only permanent American World War II cemetery in the United Kingdom. Nearly 4,000 servicemen and women rest here, and over 5,100 more are inscribed on the wall, their remains lost at sea or over enemy territory.

In the blood-soaked trenches of World War I, where courage was tested and humanity often lost, one regiment rewrote the meaning of heroism. They were the 369th Infantry Regiment—better known as the Harlem Hellfighters—African American soldiers who defied prejudice, shattered expectations, and became one of the most decorated and respected fighting units of the entire war. At a time when segregation defined every corner of American life, these men fought not only against the German army, but also against the racism of the country they served.

Este audiolivro conta a história da mais violenta e esquecida guerra urbana do país. Em São Paulo, 5 de julho de 1924, explodiu uma revolução. Oficiais do Exército, Marinha e Força Pública queriam implantar uma ditadura, fazer reformas e acabar com a corrupção. Era a segunda intentona dos tenentes rebeldes.

Judith Hermann folgt den Spuren ihres Großvaters, der während des Zweiten Weltkriegs für die SS im polnischen Radom stationiert war. Sie verknüpft ihr Schreiben mit seiner lange verleugneten Geschichte, reist von Polen aus weiter zu ihrer Schwester nach Neapel und geht Erinnern und Vergessen der folgenden Generationen nach.

In Zwischen- und Untertönen spürt Judith Hermann das Verdrängte, die Leerstellen unserer Gesellschaft auf. Ebenso magisch wie magnetisch erzählt sie davon, wie fragil wir uns in unseren Leben einrichten – und zeigt auch, welche Schönheit sich darin verbergen kann.

Italy was the scene of the longest, bloodiest, most frustrating, and least understood series of battles fought by the Western Allies during World War II. Now, John S. D. Eisenhower offers a new look at the Italian campaign, emphasizing the Anzio offensive—an operation pushed by Winston Churchill that fell largely to American troops to carry out. It was visualized as an amphibious landing of two Allied divisions behind German lines that would force the Wehrmacht to evacuate all of Italy.

Ralph was a self-made man who took the good examples set by his parents and grandparents, started with very little, cut his losses when necessary, endured the Great Depression without folding and turned a half section of Iowa farm land into a prosperous operation. In so doing he passed on his work ethic and sound judgement to his family and provided a good life for himself and his family. Serving his country when asked to do so may have saved him from getting mired in the Montana homesteading disaster.

Navajo Code Talkers: Voices of the Unbreakable Code by Cyril Marlen tells the extraordinary true story of how a group of young Navajo men turned their ancient language into the most secure military code of World War II—one that not even the best enemy cryptographers could break. When American forces fought their way across the Pacific, secure communication became a matter of life and death. Japanese intelligence had cracked nearly every code the Allies used—until the U.S. Marine Corps enlisted the help of the Navajo Nation.

“Lee’s army is really whipped,” Federal commander Ulysses S. Grant believed. May 1864 had witnessed near-constant combat between his Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Grant, unlike his predecessors, had not relented in his pounding of the Confederates. The armies clashed in the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania Courthouse and along the North Anna River. Whenever combat failed to break the Confederates, Grant resorted to maneuver. “I propose to fight it out along this line if it takes all summer,” Grant vowed—and it had.
