Russia
The book is a masterpiece' The Spectator'A gripping narrative history of one of the most complex episodes in modern Russian history' Sunday Times'Antony Beevor's Russia is a masterpiece of history' Daily TelegraphBetween 1917 and 1921 a devastating struggle took place in Russia following the collapse of the Tsarist empire. Many regard this savage civil war as the most influential event of the modern era. An incompatible White alliance of moderate socialists and reactionary monarchists stood little chance against Trotsky's Red Army and Lenin's single-minded Communist dictatorship. Terror begat terror, which in turn led to even greater cruelty with man's inhumanity to man, woman and child. The struggle became a world war by proxy as Churchill deployed weaponry and troops from the British empire, while armed forces from the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Poland and Czechoslovakia played rival parts. Using the most up to date scholarship and archival research, Antony Beevor, author of the acclaimed international bestseller Stalingrad, assembles the complete picture in a gripping narrative that conveys the conflict through the eyes of everyone from the worker on the streets of Petrograd to the cavalry officer on the battlefield and the woman doctor in an improvised hospital.

Die Ardennen-Offensive 1944
Das letzte Aufbäumen Hitlers - die wohl brutalste Schlacht des Zweiten WeltkriegsIm August 1944 schien das Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges nah, das Deutsche Reich war in Auflösung begriffen.

Präzise und faktenreich beschreibt Antony Beevor, einer der renommiertesten Historiker zur Militärgeschichte, diese sechs Wochen im Winter 1944/45. Detailliert stellt er die Frontverläufe dar, dem einfachen Soldaten und der auf allen Seiten in die Kämpfe verwickelten Bevölkerung verleiht er eine Stimme. Auf diese Weise gelingt ihm ein eindrucksvoll lebendiges Geschichtspanorama.

Remarkably well-researched, wise, balanced, very funny at times' Dirk Bogarde______________ Post-liberation Paris: an epoch charged with political and conflicting emotions.

This is a thrilling, unsurpassed account of the drama and upheaval of one of history's most fascinating eras.______________'A dashing, multi-dimensional story. This book covers all aspects of life - diplomacy, strategy, rationing, politics and politicking (from Churchill, Pétain's and de Gaulle's point of view), the international theatricals and the tourist invasion, blitzkrieg and Ritzkrieg' Olivier Todd, Sunday Times'Absorbing . . . a rich, many-layered account, selecting from official documents, private archives, memoirs and histories with a wonderful lightness of touch, so that the most complex events become clear' Jenny Uglow, Independent on Sunday

A Writer At War
In the summer of 1941, as the Germans invade Russia, newspaper reporter Vasily Grossman is swept to the frontlines, witnessing some of the most savage atrocities in Russian history.

Grossman's notebooks, war diaries, personal correspondence and newspaper articles are meticulously woven into a gripping narrative and provide a piercing look into the life of the author behind recent Sunday Times bestseller Stalingrad.A Writer at War stands as an unforgettable eyewitness account of the Eastern Front and places Grossman as the leading Soviet voice of 'the ruthless truth of war'.'A remarkable addition to the literature of 1941 - 1945...a wonderful portrait of the wartime experience of Russia... A worthy memorial to a remarkable man' Sunday Telegraph

Crete
Acclaimed historian and best-selling author Antony Beevor vividly brings to life the epic struggles that took place in Second World War Crete - reissued with a new introduction.'The best book we have got on Crete' ObserverThe Germans expected their airborne attack on Crete in 1941 - a unique event in the history of warfare - to be a textbook victory based on tactical surprise. They had no idea that the British, using Ultra intercepts, knew their plans and had laid a carefully-planned trap. It should have been the first German defeat of the war, but a fatal misunderstanding turned the battle round. Nor did the conflict end there. Ferocious Cretan freedom fighters mounted a heroic resistance, aided by a dramatic cast of British officers from Special Operations Executive.

Raspoetin en de ondergang van de Romanovs
E-bookIn Raspoetin en de ondergang van de Romanovs vertelt Antony Beevor het schokkende levensverhaal van de meest beruchte raadsman van het tsaristische hof. Op basis van nieuw ontdekt bronnenmateriaal toont hij dat Raspoetin niet enkel een mystiek icoon was maar ook een gewetenloze manipulator. Achter deze heilige ziener ging een man schuil die zijn macht misbruikte, vrouwen onder druk zette en het hof meesleurde in een draaikolk van corruptie en schandalen. Beevor laat zien hoe roddel, intrige en moreel verval de reputatie van Raspoetin én die van de tsaar verwoestten – en hoe juist dat de weg vrijmaakte voor de revolutie van 1917. Met de scherpte en vertelkunst waarmee hij wereldwijd bestsellerauteur werd, vertelt Beevor een meeslepend verhaal over macht, mythe en ondergang.
