Springer International Publishing AG Farm Hall and the German Atomic Project of World
Book SynopsisThis gripping book brings back to life the events surrounding the internment of ten German Nuclear Scientists immediately after World War II. It is also an "eye-witness" account of the dawning of the nuclear age, with the dialogue and narrative spanning the period before, during and after atomic bombs were dropped on Japan at the end of the war. This pivotal historical episode is conveyed, along with the emotions as well as the facts, through drama, historical narrative, and photographs of the captive German nuclear scientists - who included Werner Heisenberg, Otto Hahn, and Max von Laue. The unique story that unfolds in the play is based on secretly recorded transcripts of the scientists’ actual conversations at Farm Hall, together with related documents and photographs.Trade Review“He highlights several incidents that bring the story to life, including the Germans’ confused reaction to the news of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the surprise announcement of Otto Hahn’s Nobel … . Ultimately, however, Cassidy has made Farm Hall come alive, with all the important contradictions and conflicts it embodies. His book should be of special interest to physicists and physics students and is a valuable addition to our understanding of this ambiguous chapter in the history of modern physics.” (Mark Walker, Physics Today, March, 2018)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Farm Hall, the Play.- A Brief History of the German Project, Alsos, and Farm Hall.- Science, History, Drama.- Historical Sources: The Farm Hall Reports.

Oxford University Press Inc Angels of the Underground
Book SynopsisWhen the Japanese began their brutal occupation of the Philippines in early 1942, 76,000 ill and starving Filipinos and many Americans were left to defend Bataan, Manila, and surrounding islands. During the three violent years of occupation that followed, Allied sympathizers smuggled supplies and information to guerilla fighters and prisoner camps around the country. Theresa Kaminski''s Angels of the Underground tells the story of two such members of this lesser-known resistance movement--American women known only as Miss U and High Pockets. Incredibly adept at skirting occupation authorities to support the Allied effort, the very nature of their clandestine wartime work meant that the truth behind their dangerous activities had to be obscured as long as the Japanese occupied the Philippines. Were their identities revealed, they would be arrested, tortured, and executed. Throughout the war, Miss U and High Pockets remained hidden behind a veil of deceit and subterfuge.Angels of the UndTrade Review"Two American women, known as Miss U and High Pockets, risked their lives in clandestine efforts to help the Allies, a story related in Angels of the Underground: The American Women Who Resisted the Japanese in the Philippines in World War II (Oxford Univ., Dec.) by Theresa Kaminski, who also provides an account of life under three years of Japanese occupation." --Publishers WeeklyTable of ContentsIntroduction ; Chapter One: The Four Women ; Chapter Two: Manila on the Edge ; Chapter Three: Pearl Harbor ; Chapter Four: The Japanese Occupation of Manila ; Chapter Five: Bataan ; Chapter Six: The Surrender of Bataan and After ; Chapter Seven: Organizing Relief and Resistance in Manila ; Chapter Eight: Cabanatuan ; Chapter Nine: Guerrillas in the Midst of the Occupation ; Chapter Ten: The Manila Underground ; Chapter Eleven: Betrayals and an Arrest ; Chapter Twelve: The Carabao Cart Incident and Another Arrest ; Chapter Thirteen: The War Returns to the Philippines ; Chapter Fourteen: Bloodletting and Liberation ; Chapter Fifteen: Freedom ; Notes

Quercus Publishing Operation Suicide
Book SynopsisAt nightfall on December 7 1942, twelve British canoeists arrived by submarine off the coast of France, tasked with infiltrating the dockyards of Bordeaux, and wreaking havoc with the German shipping they found there. Manning fragile ''cockles'' through the turbulent waters of the Bay of Biscay, and making an assault on a port bristling with German soldiers ordered to execute any Allied Commando they captured, their prospects looked bleak. It was fully expected that all would die in the attempt.

Global Research, Centre for Research on Globalization Towards a World War III Scenario The Dangers of
Book SynopsisThe US has embarked on a military adventure, a long war, which threatens the future of humanity. US-NATO weapons of mass destruction are portrayed as instruments of peace. Mini-nukes are said to be harmless to the surrounding civilian population. Pre-emptive nuclear war is portrayed as a humanitarian undertaking. While one can conceptualise the loss of life and destruction resulting from present-day wars including Iraq and Afghanistan, it is impossible to fully comprehend the devastation which might result from a Third World War, using new technologies and advanced weapons, until it occurs and becomes a reality. The international community has endorsed nuclear war in the name of world peace. Making the world safer is the justification for launching a military operation which could potentially result in a nuclear holocaust. Nuclear war has become a multi-billion dollar undertaking, which fills the pockets of US defence contractors. What is at stake is the outright privatisation of nuclear war. The Pentagon''s global military design is one of world conquest. The military deployment of US-NATO forces is occurring in several regions of the world simultaneously. Central to an understanding of war, is the media campaign which grants it legitimacy in the eyes of public opinion. A good versus evil dichotomy prevails. The perpetrators of war are presented as the victims. Public opinion is misled. Breaking the big lie, which upholds war as a humanitarian undertaking, means breaking a criminal project of global destruction, in which the quest for profit is the overriding force. This profit-driven military agenda destroys human values and transforms people into unconscious zombies. The object of this book is to forcefully reverse the tide of war, challenge the war criminals in high office and the powerful corporate lobby groups which support them.

Cambridge University Press The Holocaust and the Revival of Psychological History
Book SynopsisWhy did men and women in one of the best educated countries in the Western world set out to get rid of Jews? In this book, Judith M. Hughes focuses on how historians' efforts to grapple anew with matters of actors' meanings, intentions, and purposes have prompted a return to psychoanalytically informed ways of thinking. Hughes makes her case with fine-grained analyses of books by Hugh Trevor-Roper, Ian Kershaw, Daniel Goldhagen, Saul FriedlÃnder, Christopher Browning, Jan Gross, Hannah Arendt and Gitta Sereny. All of the authors pose psychological questions; the more astute among them shed fresh light on the Holocaust - without making the past any less disturbing.Trade Review'Elegant and accessible, Judith M. Hughes's sober discussion probes the inner lives of Holocaust perpetrators through the lens of widely read researchers. Her book is a reminder of how varied and challenging have been responses to one of the most unsettling questions of our time: 'how could they do it?'' Michael R. Marrus, Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor Emeritus of Holocaust Studies, University of Toronto'In this gracefully written and quite absorbing review of the historiography of the Holocaust, Hughes clarifies the psychological questions posed implicitly or explicitly by the historians. Along the way she has much of interest to say about the personalities of both the perpetrators and their chroniclers.' Timothy Snyder, Bird White Housum Professor of History, Yale University'The historian and psychoanalyst Judith Hughes has produced a book that will allow nonspecialists to return to past debates on the Holocaust. Her volume examines prominent figures, including Adolf Hitler, Adolf Eichmann and Albert Speer; their biographers, including Ian Kershaw, Hannah Arendt and Gita Sereny; and controversies surrounding German and Polish complicity in the persecution of the Jews, including Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners and Jan Gross's Neighbors.'

Cambridge University Press Ethnic Germans and National Socialism in Yugoslavia in World War II
Book SynopsisThis is an in-depth study of the ethnic German minority in the Serbian Banat (Southeast Europe) and its experiences under German occupation in World War II. Mirna ZakiÄ argues that the Banat Germans exercised great agency within the constraints imposed on them by Nazi ideology, with its expectations that ethnic Germans would collaborate with the invading Nazis. The book examines the incentives that the Nazis offered to collaboration and social dynamics within the Banat German community - between their Nazified leadership and the rank and file - as well as the various and ever-more damning forms collaboration took. The Banat Germans provided administrative and economic aid to the Nazi war effort, and took part in Nazi military operations in Yugoslav lands, the Holocaust and Aryanization. They ruled the Banat on the Nazis' behalf between 1941 and 1944, yet their wartime choices led ultimately to their disenfranchisement and persecution following the Nazis' defeat.Trade Review'Zakić's well-argued microhistory shows how Banat Germans used Nazism for local purposes, even as it implicated them in Nazi atrocities. It lays bare how Nazi ideology bent to wartime practicalities in this politically-charged region of Europe.' John Eicher, German Historical Institute, Washington DC'Mirna Zakić's compelling and often surprising account of the ethnic Germans of Yugoslavia proves how much there still is to learn about World War II. Energetically researched and written with verve, this remarkable book reveals the cynical pragmatism and contagious brutality at the heart of Nazi population policies.' Doris L. Bergen, University of Toronto and author of War and Genocide: A Concise History of the Holocaust'By reframing the place of Volksdeutsche in the complex Nazi paradigm of Europe and teasing out how collaborative arrangements evolved over time, Zakić's study successfully counters the antiquated German diasporic narrative that sought to vindicate ethnic Germans … an admirable case study, beautifully researched and filled with rich detail.' Emily Greble, Slavic Review'… Zakić has written a fascinating book … broadens our perspective and makes for illuminating reading, not just for specialists of Southeast Europe but for everybody interested in the many faces of German occupation policies.'

Cambridge University Press The Coming of the Holocaust
Book SynopsisThe Coming of the Holocaust aims to help readers understand the circumstances that made the Holocaust possible. Peter Kenez demonstrates that the occurrence of the Holocaust was not predetermined as a result of modern history but instead was the result of contingencies. He shows that three preconditions had to exist for the genocide to take place: modern anti-Semitism, meaning Jews had to become economically and culturally successful in the post-French Revolution world to arouse fear rather than contempt; an extremist group possessing a deeply held, irrational, and profoundly inhumane worldview had to take control of the machinery of a powerful modern state; and the context of a major war with mass killings. The book also discusses the correlations between social and historical differences in individual countries regarding the success of the Germans in their effort to exterminate Jews.Trade Review'The distinguished UC Santa Cruz historian Peter Kenez has taken on the daunting and complex task of explaining the origins of the 'Final Solution'. He does so with deep erudition, perfect moral balance, patient reasoning, and crystal-clear prose. The Coming of the Holocaust will surely become the standard introduction to this painful and important subject.' Norman M. Naimark, Stanford University'An extraordinarily insightful and prolific author, Peter Kenez has again produced an important oeuvre, which combines the modern history of Jewish emancipation, antisemitic reaction, and the tragic story of the Holocaust. Although written by a survivor, the style is judicious, scholarly, and, at the same time, highly readable. Kenez clearly proves that the Holocaust was the consequence of the nineteenth-century emancipation of European Jews and of their incredible successes in nearly every aspect of human endeavor. Fear, resentment, and greed motivated the Russian pogromists as well as the Nazis and the East European extreme nationalists. Fortunately, there were also many helpers of the Jews and so, at last, the antisemites triumphed only partially.' István Deák, Columbia University'This remarkably concise volume covers much territory with lucid prose. Its overall tone is straightforward and calm, a composure that is especially impressive given the passionate differences of opinion about the Holocaust. Among the book's more prominent traits is its focus on the unintended consequences and terrible ironies of decisions made - by all in involved - in these appalling years: victims, victimizers, bystanders, and those who don't really fit into any neat category.'

Cambridge University Press After the Deportation
Book SynopsisA total of 160,000 people, a mix of résistants and Jews, were deported from France to camps in Central and Eastern Europe during the Second World War. In this compelling new study, Philip Nord addresses how the Deportation, as it came to be known, was remembered after the war and how Deportation memory from the very outset, became politicized against the backdrop of changing domestic and international contexts. He shows how the Deportation generated competing narratives Jewish, Catholic, Communist, and Gaullist and analyzes the stories told by and about deportees after the war and how these stories were given form in literature, art, film, monuments, and ceremonials.Trade Review'American historians of France strike again, as Philip Nord has powerfully unsettled our history. His book explains the evolving memories of resistance heroes and martyrs and victims of the Holocaust with unmatched political, intellectual, cultural and artistic subtlety.' Annette Becker, author of Messengers of Disaster: Raphael Lemkin, Jan Karski and Genocides'After Auschwitz, French survivors wrote poetry – and they staged plays, published memoirs, and built monuments – hoping to awaken minds and consign fascist barbarism to the past. In this riveting work, Nord brings their desperate efforts to life, and he does so with a moral urgency that is rare in any writing, prose or poetry.' John Connelly, author of From Enemy to Brother: The Revolution in Catholic Teaching on the Jews, 1933–1965'A fascinating and sensitive exploration of France's memory wars over the wartime deportation of resisters and Jews, in which the resistance legend ultimately lost out to the Holocaust. New angles and new voices are constantly thrown up. A masterly work by a historian at the top of his game.' Robert Gildea, author of Fighters in the Shadows: A New History of the French Resistance'The Germans forcibly deported about 160,000 people from occupied France during 1940-1944. While nearly all the 76,000 Jews among them perished, about half the others survived the camps. Philip Nord takes a fresh and probing look at how the French later reckoned with this searing experience.' Robert O. Paxton, author of Vichy France: Old Guard and New Order, 1940-1944'Philip Nord offers a fascinating account of the diverse ways France's wartime deportations have been remembered. For the first time, memoirs by Jews, Communists, Resistance figures and Holocaust survivors are considered together in an analysis that sheds new light on the polyphonic voices battling to recover history.' Claire Zalc, author of Denaturalized: How Thousands Lost Their Citizenship and Lives in Vichy France'Exhaustively researched and admirably synthesizing a vast scholarly literature, After the Deportation marks a culminating, late-if-not-last word on the scholarly debates on French memory that have been underway since the 1980s.' Julian Bourg, H-Diplo'By opening our eyes to these diverse sources, and especially by offering a perceptive analysis of the pertinent monuments and commemorative ceremonies, Nord succeeds admirably in recasting the memory of the deportation and the Holocaust.' Vicki Caron, H-Diplo'… masterful …' Maurice Samuels, H-Diplo'This rich, nuanced, and often moving book uses a wide range of sources and methods-literary criticism, art history, and an analysis of philosophical debates-to make a major contribution to our understanding of how the French have remembered one of the most painful periods in their history.'

Cambridge University Press Love between Enemies
Book SynopsisLove between Enemies explores the forbidden relationships which formed between foreign prisoners of war and German women during the Second World War. From the desire to have fun to deep love commitments, this study examines the range of motivations which lay behind these relationships, tapping into new documents and drawing on thousands of court cases to offer a transnational analysis of personal relations between enemies. Highlighting gender roles, the contradictory reactions of the communities surrounding the couples, and the diplomatic tensions resulting from the severe punishments, this is a history of everyday life which throws light on this subversive aspect of intimacy in wartime Nazi Germany. Comparing the ''transgressing'' couples to other groups persecuted for their cultural or private choices, Scheck demonstrates how the relationships were silenced or justified in the post-war memory of prisoners, while the German women, who had been publicly shamed, continued to live with tTrade Review'A scholarly masterpiece. It tackles one of the most fascinating problems and most flaunted prohibitions of the Nazi racial state, the love affairs between prisoners of war from the western Allies and German women. Drawing on an unparalleled range of sources from all sides, Raffael Scheck has written the definitive account. A must read.' Nicholas Stargardt, University of Oxford'Scheck's meticulous investigation of the military prosecution of illicit relationships reveals the contradictions and absurdity of the Nazi faith in 'the healthy feeling of the Volk' as a means of enforcing racial consciousness. His juxtaposition of surprising tolerance and harsh punishments demonstrates the power of the human need for connection in face of the hatreds of war.' Annette Timm, University of Calgary'Based on wonderfully rich archival sources, this important addition to scholarship takes seriously intimate relationships between prisoners of war and civilians in twentieth-century Europe. Raffael Scheck is to be commended for his on-going insistence that narratives of 'everyday' women and men in wartime deserve to be highlighted.' Lisa Todd, University of New Brunswick'This ground-breaking work brings to light the many intimate relationships between Western POWs and local women in Nazi Germany. Resisting simple narratives of guilt, innocence or heroism under duress, Scheck underlines the complexities of relationships 'between enemies'. With consummate skill, he connects these moving individual stories to much broader questions about wartime justice, ground-level war experiences, and international relations.' Julia Torrie, St. Thomas University'… fascinating … Scheck is to be congratulated, not only for the sheer amount of legwork he has put into archival research in several different countries, but also for his careful, nuanced interpretations.' Matthew Stibbe, European History Quarterly'Built from a rich collection of archival material across six countries, Scheck's rigour and insightful analysis is due wide applause. This is much more than a study of the policing of illicit relationships on the German home front. Love Between Enemies will be of great interest and influence to those studying everyday lives and emotions during wartime.' Alan Malpass, International Journal of Military History and Historiography'… a fascinating insight into everyday life on the German home front, the wartime politicisation of the private sphere, and the gap between propaganda and lived experience.'

His method is the voices of individuals - their thoughts and aspirations - in an endlessly interesting book with many fascinating stories to tell.'' - Aspects of History''Engrossing, good natured and perceptive...His style is conversational, like a popular podcaster, but never glib or shrill. His judgments are often understated but shrewd...Craig''s fashionably inclusive approach does not exclude conservative, collaborationist voices. Instead, the author seeks to understand them within their particular social and historical context. At the same time, he dismembers anti-colonial mythologies.''-The Australian''This thought provoking account comes with a glorious cast of characters and is written with a keen eye for detail - A MUST READ!'' - Mirror''Dramatic human stories, written in the engaging style of Craig''s bestselling Finest Hour, combined with surprising revelations'' - Express ''This is a book that crosses the globe from Britain to Germany and from India to Indonesia...it is ambitious, deeply thought-provoking and, as with all the very best history, compellingly told'' -James Holland As the fate of the world is decided, so too is that of the British, Dutch and French empires. In India a generation committed to independence must decide whether to support ''the Raj'' or fight alongside the Japanese. One military family is bitterly divided. Will it be the brother who fights under British command, or the one who follows Subhas Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army, who goes on to help build a new and free India? In Borneo a little known Australian special forces campaign - secretly controlled from London - goes horribly wrong as questions are asked about whether its true purpose is military or imperial. And in Indochina and the East Indies British Generals free and arm Japanese prisoners of war and use them in savage campaigns that aim to put colonial rulers back into their palaces.Clearing away the haze of nostalgia, many uncomfortable truths emerge - but so too does a humane and balanced exploration of what victory in the Second World War truly means.

Book SynopsisGeneral Douglas MacArthur ended World War II controlling one of the most powerful air forces in the world. This fascinating history, now available in paperback, traces its development from its origins in the Philippines through to its eventual victory in the skies over Japan and its key role in the Korean War.General Douglas MacArthur is one of the towering figures of World War II, and indeed of the twentieth century, but his leadership of the second largest air force in the USAAF is often overlooked. When World War II ended, the three numbered air forces (the Fifth, Thirteenth, and Seventh) under his command possessed 4,004 combat aircraft, 433 reconnaissance aircraft, and 922 transports. After being humbled by the Japanese in the Philippines in 1942, MacArthur and his air chief General George Kenney rebuilt the US aerial presence in the Pacific, helping Allied naval and ground forces to push back the Japanese Air Force, retake the Philippines, and carry the war nortTrade ReviewA book by Bill Yenne is always a treat, and this one exceeds his own best efforts.
