Taylor & Francis Ltd The Novel Das Boot Political Responsibility and
Book SynopsisThis study investigates the relationship between Lothar-Günther Buchheim (1918-2007), his bestselling 1973 novel Das Boot (The Boat), and West Germany's Vergangenheitsbewältigung.As a war reporter during the Battle of the Atlantic, Buchheim benefitted from distinct privileges, yet he was never in a position of power. Almost thirty years later, Buchheim confronted the duality of his own past and railed against what he perceived to be a varnished public memory of the submarine campaign. Michael Rothberg's theory of the implicated beneficiary is used as a lens to view Buchheim and this duality. Das Boot has been retold by others worldwide because many people claim that the story bears an anti-war message. Wolfgang Petersen's critically acclaimed 1981 film and interpretations as a comedy sketch, a theatrical play, and a streamed television sequel have followed. This trajectory of Buchheim's personal memory reflects a process that practitioners of memory studiTable of ContentsIntroduction. Lothar-Günther Buchheim’s Das Boot: Memory and the Nazi Past 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Spanish Civil War
Book SynopsisThe Spanish Civil War: A Military History takes a new, military approach to the conflict that tore Spain apart from 1936 to 1939.In many histories, the war has been treated as a primarily political event with the military narrative subsumed into a much broader picture of the Spain of 19369 in which the chief themes are revolution and counter-revolution. While remaining conscious of the politics of the struggle, this book looks at the war as above all a military event, and as one in whose outbreak specifically military issues particularly the split in the armed forces produced by the long struggle in Morocco (190927) were fundamental. Across nine chapters that consider the war from beginning to endgame, Charles J. Esdaile revisits traditional themes from a new perspective, deconstructs many epics and puts received ideas to the test, as well as introducing readers to foreign-language historiography that has previously been largely inaccessible to an anglophone audienceTrade Review'The Spanish Civil War, for all its social, political and cultural dimensions, was also in essence a military conflict. The military nature, which is often overlooked by historians, is centrepiece in Charles Esdaile’s fascinating new study. Based on an extensive range of old and new sources and lavishly furnished with first-hand accounts throughout, this highly readable history debunks many hallowed myths surrounding the conflict and stresses the role of the Moroccan wars in the divisions within the Spanish army which in 1936 made civil war possible. Our understanding of the Spanish Civil War and Spain’s fateful modern history more broadly will be enriched by this comprehensive work.' Mark Lawrence, Lecturer in Military History, University of Kent, UK'Professor Esdaile brings to this military study of the Spanish Civil War the forensic skills of an accomplished historian and a profound knowledge of Spanish politics and culture as it has been honed during his distinguished career as a scholar of contemporary Iberian politics and society. The scope of this volume includes a close analysis of the sequence of battles and an assessment of the military prowess and preparedness of the Republican and the Nationalist adversaries. Military events in the field are deftly set within their particular political contexts and include as well the daily wartime experiences of soldiers and civilians. This fine volume makes a considerable contribution to Hispanic scholarship. Equally it will appeal to the general reader with an interest in twentieth-century war and as it was played out in the specific conditions of the civil war in Spain.'Judith Keene, University of Sydney, Australia, and author of Fighting for Franco: International Volunteers in Nationalist Spain during the Spanish Civil War (2007) and, with Elizabeth Rechniewski, Seeking Meaning Seeking Justice in a Post Cold War World (2018).

Cambridge University Press In the Shadow of the Rising Sun
Book SynopsisThis 2004 volume offers an evaluation of the strategic significance of the Shanghai economy in the Pacific War. It also draws attention to the feminisation of urban public discourse against the backdrop of intensified violence. The essays capture the last moments of European settlements in Shanghai under Japanese occupation.Trade Review"Christian Henriot and Wen-hsin Yeh ask what the war years 1937-1945 meant to the civilian population of the great metropolis. They ask how the brutality of siege and occupation changed 'civic patterns of authority and association' and how they reconfigured 'the material landscape of the city?' To the credit of editors and essayists alike, this sweeping study of Shanghai under Japanese occupation answers those questions and many others and illuminates our understanding of wartime struggle and survival in China's most modern and international city.""The clear contribution of this volume is its success in providing a more diverse perspective of the Sino-Japanese War." The Journal of Asian Studies Larry Shyu, University of New Brunswick"Generally speaking, the fourteen essays that comprise this collection probe the grey areas that characterized life in Shanghai during the occupation, and grey areas there surely were—between, for example, collaboration and resistance, or hero and traitor.... Most people inhabited the space between extremes, and it is here, in the realm of the ordinary, that these essays make their mark. Well-researched, cogently presented, and generally quite readable, they add texture and depth to our understanding of the ways by which Chinese living in their nation's most important metropolitan center dealt with the dislocations imposed by the war and occupation.... This collection is a most welcome addition to the field." - Journal of Asian HistoryTable of ContentsPreface; Introduction Christian Henriot; Part I: 1.

Cambridge University Press The Iraq Wars and Americas Military Revolution
Book SynopsisMany saw the United States' decisive victory in Desert Storm (1991) as not only vindication of American defense policy since Vietnam but also confirmation of a revolution in military affairs (RMA). Just as information-age technologies were revolutionizing civilian life, the Gulf War appeared to reflect similarly profound changes in warfare. A debate has raged ever since about a contemporary RMA and its implications for American defense policy. Addressing these issues, The Iraq Wars and America's Military Revolution is a comprehensive study of the Iraq Wars in the context of the RMA debate. Focusing on the creation of a reconnaissance-strike complex and conceptions of parallel or nonlinear warfare, Keith L. Shimko finds a persuasive case for a contemporary RMA while recognizing its limitations as well as promise.Trade Review'Did Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom herald a transformation in warfare? In a clearly written examination of these two wars, Shimko's answer is yes. His book advances the debate over the existence and scope of the revolution in military affairs (RMA) by giving defense planners and scholars a framework to judge the evidence themselves. Shimko outlines the key features of the revolution, speculating on what they mean for the low-intensity conflicts of today and how they might shape the high-intensity conflicts of the future. Advocates as well as skeptics of a transformation in warfare will find The Iraq Wars and America's Military Revolution valuable because it is the most coherent statement to date in support of the RMA.' Jasen J. Castillo, Texas A&M University'In The Iraq Wars and America's Military Revolution, Keith Shimko offers an informed and fair assessment of the rich yet often disputatious range of views on the evolution and combat use of American military power since Vietnam. In considering the hard investment choices now facing the nation's defense leaders, he has well spotlighted both the merits and the manifest exaggerations on all sides of the debate over the relative strengths and inadequacies of America's transformed warfighting posture from the Persian Gulf War of 1991 to today's very different counterinsurgency wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.' Benjamin Lambeth, RAND Corporation'Keith L. Shimko has written a clear and carefully nuanced work on the emergence of the American revolution in military affairs. It should be read by all interested in current defense issues.' Williamson Murray, Ohio State UniversityTable of Contents1. Military revolutions and the Iraq wars; 2. From Vietnam to Iraq - the rebirth of American military power and the origins of an RMA; 3. The first Iraq War, 1991 - a revolution dawns?; 4. The Iraq interregnum, 1991–2000; 5. Afghanistan and the second Iraq War, 2001–3 - a revolution confirmed?; 6. The third Iraq War, 2003–? - a revolution denied?; Conclusion: the future of America's military revolution.

Cambridge University Press The Splintering of Spain
Book SynopsisThis 2005 book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the Spanish Civil War. Leading historians offer new interpretations of the civil war and argue that it reflected the cultural cleavages in 1930s society rather than a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, classes or ways of life.Trade Review"The anthology sheds light on important aspects of modern Spanish history that have until now received little attention, and the analyses of its contributors are often interesting and astute. It thus has much to offer historians of modern Spain and of civilian wartime culture and ideologies." -Geoffrey Jensen, Virginia Military Institute, The Journal of Military History"...a very useful collection for specialists." --Nathanael Greene, Wesleyan University, History: Review of New BooksTable of Contents1.
