De Tweede Wereldoorlog
een beknopte geschiedenisSecond-handHebben we nóg een boek over de Tweede Wereldoorlog nodig? Nee, natuurlijk niet, tenzij het is geschreven door Norman Stone. Stone, in het verleden professor Moderne Geschiedenis in Oxford, BBC-presentator en speechschrijver voor Margaret Thatcher, overtreft zichzelf in dit boek. Puntig en humoristisch geeft hij in negen hoofdstukken een gedegen opinie over het begin en de afloop van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Geen gids voor beginners, maar een onderhoudend en doorwrocht geschreven overzicht over de belangrijkste periode van de vorige eeuw.

Birinci Dünya Savasinin yikici sonuclarinin ardindan dünya uzun süren bir huzur döneminin özlemini duydu.

Adolf Hitler, Alman milletinin umutsuzlugu ve icerlemesine tutunarak yükseldi ve ülkesini yeniden büyük güclerin arasina sokmaya calisti. Avrupaya istedigini vermeleri icin kafa tuttu ve ilk savasin galiplerini köseye sikistirdi. Polonyanin isgalinin ardindan Ingiltere ve Fransa, Almanyaya savas ilan ettiler. Stonea göre bu karar son derece mantiksizdi. Yine de Hitler dünyayi cilgina cevirdi ve Avrupadaki düsmanliklar sonucta yikici bir dünya savasina dönüstü. Norman Stone uzmanligiyla, okuyuculara bu catismanin yükselmesini, zirveye ulasmasini ve acili düsüsünü anlatiyor. 2 Dünya Savasi, 20. yüzyilin dinamiklerini anlamak adina paha picilmez bir eser niteliginde.

La Europa transformada : 1878-1919
Entre 1878 y 1919, los antiguos contornos prácticamente se habían borrado. Rusia pasaba, o intentaba pasar, del mundo de Bizancio al de Detroit. Tanto Alemania como América disputaban a Gran Bretaña la pretensión de ser el taller del mundo. La aparición de partidos de izquierda, la agitación de unas nacionalidades largo tiempo reprimidas - polacos, finlandeses, checos, ucranianos, irlandeses y muchos otros-, el derrumbamiento del imperio de los Habsburgo y del otomano, la proliferación de colonias francesas, británicas y belgas en toda África, las nuevas manifestaciones políticas del poder de la Iglesia, todo ello hizo que se acelerara la marcha, ya vertiginosa, de los acontecimientos.

Declarations of War
Len Deighton was born in 1929 in London. He did his national service in the RAF, went to the Royal College of Art and designed many book jackets, including the original UK edition of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The enormous success of his first spy novel, The IPCRESS File (1962), was repeated in a remarkable sequence of books over the following decades. These varied from historical fiction (Bomber, perhaps his greatest novel) to dystopian alternative fiction (SS-GB) and a number of brilliant non-fiction books on the Second World War (Fighter, Blitzkrieg and Blood, Tears and Folly). His spy novels chart the twists and turns of Britain and the Cold War in ways which now give them a unique flavour. They preserve a world in which Europe contains many dictatorships, in which the personal can be ruined by the ideological and where the horrors of the Second World War are buried under only a very thin layer of soil. Deighton's fascination with technology, his sense of humour and his brilliant evocation of time and place make him one of the key British espionage writers, alongside John Buchan, Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré.
