  7. La seconda guerra mondiale. I sei anni che hanno cambiato la storia
    1. Antony , Beevor

    La seconda guerra mondiale. I sei anni che hanno cambiato la storia

    Numerosi fronti di battaglia dall'Europa all'Asia, celebri protagonisti politici e militari come Churchill e Stalin ma anche le microstorie personali degli uomini che la guerra l'hanno vissuta e combattuta: sono questi gli ingredienti del ricco mosaico composto dal celebre storico Antony Beevor per raccontare il conflitto che più di tutti è venuto a definire la nostra idea di guerra. Spaziando da eventi più noti ad altri meno conosciuti, calcando i più distanti fronti di battaglia, dall'Inghilterra alla Russia, dal Sahara alla giungla birmana, e senza tacere le atrocità dei gruppi d'assalto delle SS, dei gulag sovietici fino alla barbarie dello scontro sino-giapponese, Beevor realizza un'opera documentatissima, che offre uno sguardo a 360° sulla complessità della Seconda guerra mondiale. Grazie a un solido impianto descrittivo, una scrittura lineare e coinvolgente, e approfondite testimonianze che si avvalgono di cartine dei vari teatri di scontro e di fotografie d'epoca, l'autore restituisce a una delle guerre più crudeli e distruttive che il mondo ricordi una dimensione e una verità profondamente umane. In questa edizione - arricchita da una nuova prefazione dedicata all'anniversario degli ottant'anni dalla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale, - Beevor ci offre uno strumento unico per comprendere i sei anni che hanno cambiato il corso della storia dell'Occidente e del mondo.

    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.

  12. De Tweede Wereldoorlog
    1. Antony Beevor

    De Tweede Wereldoorlog

    In De Tweede Wereldoorlog brengt Antony Beevor alle aspecten van de oorlog op een vernieuwende wijze samen. Op grond van recente wetenschappelijke inzichten vertelt hij helder en betrokken het verhaal van de strijd die zich uitstrekte van de Atlantische Oceaan tot de Pacific, van de besneeuwde steppes tot de Noord-Afrikaanse woestijn, van de Birmese jungle tot de SS Einsatzgruppen in Oost-Europa. Geen andere periode stelde zowel leiders als gewone mensen voor zulke grote dilemma’s als de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Met verve schetst Beevor de grote strategische beslissingen, maar geen moment verliest hij het lot van de gewone soldaat en burger uit het oog. Een magistrale, alomvattende geschiedenis van het grootste conflict dat de wereld ooit heeft gekend, geschreven door ’s werelds meest vooraanstaande en meest gelezen militair-historicus. 'Telkens als je denkt: dit verhaal ken ik al, komt Beevor met nieuwe inzichten, subtiele nuanceringen, of vertelt hij het nog eens, maar dan beter.' – Het Financieele Dagblad 'Antony Beevor toont zich wederom een rasverteller.' – Vrij Nederland 'Beevors grote talent is zijn vermogen soepel in en uit te zoomen op de strategische beslissingen op hoog niveau en de lotgevallen van de soldaten en burgers aan het front. Hij toont de oorlog in al zijn gruwelijkheid en onmenselijkheid.' – Historisch Nieuwsblad
