Joel S. A. Hayward - Stopped at Stalingrad; The Lu ftwaffe and Hitler's Defeat in the East, 1942-1943 (2001).jpg

By the time Hitler declared war on the Soviet Union in 1941, he knew that his military machine was running out of fuel. In response, he launched Operation Blau, a campaign designed to protect Nazi oilfields in Rumania while securing new ones in the Caucasus. All that stood in the way was Stalingrad.
Most accounts of the Battle of Stalingrad have focused on the dismal fate of the German Army. Joel Hayward now chronicles Luftwaffe operations during that campaign, focusing on Hitler's use of the air force as a tactical rather than strategic weapon in close support of ground forces. He vividly details the Luftwaffe's key role as "flying artillery," showing that the army relied on Luftwaffe support to a far greater degree than has been previously revealed and that its successes in the East occurred largely because of the effectiveness of that support.

Hayward analyzes this major German offensive from the standpoint of cooperation between ground and air forces to attain mutually agreed upon objectives. He draws on diaries of both key commanders and regular airmen to recreate crucial battles and convey the drama of Hitler's frustrations and reckless leadership. Ultimately, Hayward shows, the poorly conceived strategies of Hitler, Goering, and others in Berlin doomed the efforts of air commander Wolfram von Richthofen, a courageous and resolute leader attempting to come to grips with an increasingly impossible situation.

Stopped at Stalingrad is a dynamic case study in combined arms warfare that fills in many of the gaps left by other studies of the eastern war. By reconsidering the campaign in the light of a wider body of documentary sources and analyzing many previously ignored events, Hayward provides military historians and general readers a much deeper and more complete understanding of the Battle of Stalingrad and its impact on World War II.

Jason Jones - The American Rhetorical Construction of the Iranian Nuclear Threat (2011).jpg

From 2002 to 2008, the Bush administration argued that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, despite years of inconclusive International Atomic Energy Agency inspection reports. In the absence of substantive evidence, much of the debate was conducted via public forums with a heavy persuasive element to the discourse. This book offers an in-depth consideration of the rhetoric surrounding Irans controversial nuclear programme. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, examining speeches, interviews, news reports, online message boards and newspaper layouts during the Bush Presidency (2000-2008). Engaging with visual grammar and narrative, the book looks at layouts from the Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post, amongst others.The book points out, using rhetorical theory and discourse analysis, the conditions that lent credibility to the Bush administrations position by examining the arguments Bush and his political surrogates put forward, and the discourse strategies that influenced which ideas gained salience and which were downplayed. Political communication and Foucaults theory of governmentality are brought in to articulate the implications regarding the influence, importance and expansion of executive power.

Historia - Suzanne McGee - Chasing Goldman Sachs How the Masters ...Down...And Why Theyll Take Us to the Brink Again 2011.jpeg

Business journalist McGee paints Wall Street as a utility with capital flowing through the system like an electric power grid, noting why it almost failed. She describes the pressure on the U.S. House of Representatives in 2008 to bail out Wall Street firms, why Wall Street was called an “abstraction,” and how Wall Street morphed from an intermediary (raising capital) into a casino. Goldman Sachs was the master of its universe, generating average return on equity of 25.4 percent in the decade before the financial crisis, compared with 15 percent annually for four other firms during the same period. Other firms' CEOs chased Goldman Sachs, considering it their model for boosting their own personal wealth and keeping shareholders happy. The author reports, “When left to their own devices, financial services firms . . . will focus almost monomaniacally on what is in their own best interest, seeking out ways to take earn sichigher returns and recruit top talent by paying the most lavish bonuses and offering the most enticing perks. . . . They cannot help themselves.

Jacques Sapir - La démondialisation (2011).jpeg

Historia - Jacques Sapir - La dmondialisation 2011.jpeg

Deglobalizacja

Face à la crise globale du capitalisme, on voit désormais le FMI, des gouvernements ou des économistes célèbres brûler ce qu'ils ont adoré - le marché - et réhabiliter l'Etat qu'ils honnissaient. Nous vivons en fait l'amorce d'une "démondialisation". L'histoire, la politique et les nations reprennent leurs droits avec le retour des Etats, que l'on disait naguère impuissants, et le recul des marchés, que l'on prétendait omniscients. Ce mouvement réveille de vieilles peurs. Et si cette démondialisation annonçait le retour au temps des guerres ? Ces peurs ne sont que l'autre face d'un mensonge qui fut propagé par ignorance et par intérêt. Non, la mondialisation ne fut pas, ne fut jamais "heureuse". Le mythe du "doux commerce" venant se substituer aux conflits guerriers a été trop propagé pour ne pas laisser quelques traces... Mais, à la vérité, ce n'est qu'un mythe. Les puissances dominantes ont en permanence usé de leur force pour s'ouvrir des marchés et modifier comme il leur convenait les termes de l'échange. Dans ce fétichisme de la mondialisation, il y eut beaucoup de calculs et de mensonges. Il faut donc établir le vrai bilan de cette mondialisation - de ses apports et de ses méfaits - pour penser rigoureusement la phase suivante qui s'ouvre. Ce livre propose précisément les voies d'une démondialisation pensée et ordonnée par une nouvelle organisation du commerce et des relations financières internationales.

Great Escapes - Dennis Brindell Fradin - Irish Pot ato Famine (2011).jpg

In Ireland, the Great Famine was a period of mass starvation, disease and emigration between 1845 and 1852. It is also known, mostly outside Ireland, as the Irish Potato Famine. In the Irish language it is called an Gorta Mór (IPA: [ənˠ ˈɡɔɾˠtˠə ˈmˠoːɾˠ], meaning "the Great Hunger") or an Drochshaol ([ənˠ ˈdˠɾɔxˌhiːlˠ], meaning "the bad times").

During the famine approximately 1 million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland, causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%. The proximate cause of famine was a potato disease commonly known as potato blight. Although blight ravaged potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s, the impact and human cost in Ireland – where one-third of the population was entirely dependent on the potato for food – was exacerbated by a host of political, social and economic factors which remain the subject of historical debate.

The famine was a watershed in the history of Ireland. Its effects permanently changed the island's demographic, political and cultural landscape. For both the native Irish and those in the resulting diaspora, the famine entered folk memory and became a rallying point for various nationalist movements as Ireland was then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Modern historians regard it as a dividing line in the Irish historical narrative, referring to the preceding period of Irish history as "pre-Famine".

About the Series
How did anyone manage to escape from the Nazi death camps or the killing fields of Cambodia? Great Escapes presents gripping accounts of narrow escapes to illuminate historical events from a distinct, personal perspective.

Here are the brave individuals caught in history’s worst atrocities—and their amazing will to survive. David Bol, one of Sudan’s many "lost boys," tells of his four-month trek across Ethiopia to a refugee camp during a horrific civil war. William Wells Brown depended on the station masters of the Underground Railroad to help him escape to the North and to freedom from slavery. Jewish prisoners Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wexler smuggled out proof of Nazi extermination practices, outrunning German bullets to "tell everyone about Auschwitz." Primary sources add drama to each compelling narrative, while the text addresses the broader significance of the event, the social issues at stake, and how society continues to be affected.

At War - Michael Green - Tiger Tanks at War (2008).jpeg

The first prototype for the Tiger tank was set to be ready for Hitlers birthday on April 20, 1942. The Henschel Company, competing with Porsche, produced the superior model, and by August of that year the formidable Tiger--or Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. H.--was in full production. This book takes us behind the scenes with the Tiger tank, reviewing the full history, the design and mechanics, and the mixed record of this machine, which was designed to outgun its Russian counterparts. Military writer Michael Green offers a close-up account--accompanied by photographs, diagrams, and maps--of how the Tiger tank operated, how it was armed, and where it succeeded brilliantly, as well as where it failed miserably. His book fills a fascinating niche in the history of military technology, and of the impact of technology on history itself.

Z archiwum IPN - ''Łupaszka'' dowódca ''Hubala'' ( 2009) (27m46s).avi

Jerzy Dąbrowski był synem rosyjskiego generała, lecz w domu otrzymał polskie patriotyczne wychowanie i kiedy w Rosji wybuchła rewolucja, natychmiast wziął udział w organizowaniu polskich oddziałów broniących Wilna. Stworzył osobliwe zgrupowanie partyzanckie, zachodzące za skórę bolszewikom, przeorganizowane z czasem w 13 Pułk Ułanów. Potem w podobny sposób walczył w wojnie bolszewickiej, a kiedy wybuchła ta kolejna wojna, z Niemcami, najpierw walczył na dwa fronty z obydwoma najeźdźcami, a potem utworzył silne zgrupowanie antysowieckiej partyzantki. Jako pierwszy, używając pseudonimu Łupaszka, na terenach włączonych do ZSRR podniósł sztandar walki i nie spoczął do tragicznej śmierci w 1941 roku.

Jako komentatorzy występują historycy: dr Sławomir Poleszak (IPN O/Lublin), dr hab. Rafał Wnuk (KUL, Muzeum II Wojny Światowej).

Karen L. Ryan - Stalin in Russian Satire, 1917-199 1 (2009).jpg

During Stalin’s lifetime the crimes of his regime were literally unspeakable. More than fifty years after his death, Russia is still coming to terms with Stalinism and the people’s own role in the abuses of the era. During the decades of official silence that preceded the advent of glasnost, Russian writers raised troubling questions about guilt, responsibility, and the possibility of absolution. Through the subtle vehicle of satire, they explored the roots and legacy of Stalinism in forms ranging from humorous mockery to vitriolic diatribe.
Examining works from the 1917 Revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Karen L. Ryan reveals how satirical treatments of Stalin often emphasize his otherness, distancing him from Russian culture. Some satirists portray Stalin as a madman. Others show him as feminized, animal-like, monstrous, or diabolical. Stalin has also appeared as the unquiet dead, a spirit that keeps returning to haunt the collective memory of the nation. While many writers seem anxious to exorcise Stalin from the body politic, for others he illuminates the self in disturbing ways. To what degree Stalin was and is “in us” is a central question of all these works. Although less visible than public trials, policy shifts, or statements of apology, Russian satire has subtly yet insistently participated in the protracted process of de-Stalinization.

Miller Jamie - Soviet Cinema; Politics and Persuas ion Under Stalin (2010).jpg

When the Bolsheviks seized power in the Soviet Union during 1917, they were suffering from a substantial political legitimacy deficit. Uneasy political foundations meant that cinema became a key part of the strategy to protect the existence of the USSR. Based on extensive archival research, this welcome book examines the interaction between politics and the Soviet cinema industry during the period between Stalin's rise to power and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. It reveals that film had a central function during those years as an important means of convincing the masses that the regime was legitimate and a bearer of historical truth.

Miller analyzes key films, from the classic musical Circus to the political epic The Great Citizen, and examines the Bolseviks', ultimately failed, attempts to develop a "cinema for the millions." As Denise Youngblood writes, "this work is indispensable reading not only for specialists in Soviet film and culture, but also for anyone interested in the dynamics of cultural production in an authoritarian society."

"Superbly researched and well-written, this fascinating book is the first full-length political history of Soviet cinema during a tumultuous period, the 'long thirties,' 1929-1941." -- Denise Youngblood

Kagero - Bitwy Lotnicze 02 - Tomasz Szlagor - P-51 B-C Mustangi nad III Rzeszą (2007).jpg

Jednosilnikowy myśliwiec okresu II wojny światowej zaprojektowany na zlecenie RAF-u, produkowany w zakładach North American Aviation (NAA) w Stanach Zjednoczonych (zakłady w Kalifornii i Teksasie) oraz w znacznie mniejszej liczbie przez Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation w Australii. Używany był przez USA i ich sojuszników zarówno podczas II wojny światowej jak i wojny koreańskiej (jako samolot szturmowy). Udana konstrukcja z 1940 roku sprawiła, że ostatni projekt samolotu bojowego opartego na P-51 zamknięto dopiero w 1986 roku kończąc tym samym 46 lat rozwoju jednej konstrukcji. Obecnie wiele z tych maszyn znajduje się w rękach prywatnych. Latają one podczas pokazów i zawodów sportowych. Ogółem wyprodukowano 15 000 - 16 000 Mustangów.

Saree Makdisi - Palestine Inside Out; An Everyday Occupation (2010).jpg

In chronicling Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories—from road blocks to curfews, economic chaos to health care crises—UCLA professor Makdisi sketches a powerful, relentlessly heartbreaking account of a reality few Westerners know. According to Makdisi, the global media rarely covers the routine destruction of the occupation; rather than assessing the hermetic sealing of the Gaza Strip or the slicing up of West Bank communities for the sake of Israeli settlements, the media focuses on violence—eclipsing the deadly effects of the Israeli apparatus of bureaucracy and control. Makdisi unequivocally condemns attacks on civilians, Israeli or Palestinian, and acknowledges the many Israelis working toward conflict resolution (indeed, much of his data comes from Israeli human rights organizations), but his scholarship occasionally fails when surveying Israeli society: Jews who fled Arab lands don't generally consider themselves Arab Jews, for instance, and Zionism is a 19th-century nationalist movement, not a reaction to the Holocaust. Yet this doesn't detract from the urgency of Makdisi's work. The combined weight of personal stories of abject suffering, harsh statistics (in the past seven years, Israeli military operations have killed 854 Palestinian children) and facts on the ground make Makdisi's case that the occupation is destroying the Palestinian people, and possibly any chance for peaceful coexistence.

R. Christopher Whalen - Inflated; How Money and De bt Built the American Dream (2010).jpg

Americans as a whole view themselves as reasonably prudent and sober people when it comes to matters of money, reflecting the puritan roots of the earliest European settlers. Yet as a community, we also seem to believe that we are entitled to a lifestyle that is well-beyond our current income, a tendency that goes back to the earliest days of the United States and particularly to get rich quick experiences ranging from the Gold Rush of the 1840s to the real estate bubble of the early 21st Century.
Inflated examines this apparent conflict and makes the argument that such a world view is so ingrained in us that to expect the United States to live in a "deflated" world is simply unrealistic. It skillfully seeks to tell the story of, money inflation and public debt as enduring (and perhaps endearing) features of American life, rather than something we can one day overcome as our policy makers constantly promise.
Features interviews with today's top financial industry leaders and insiders.
Offer a glimpse into the future of the Federal Reserve and the role it will play in the coming years
Examines what the future may hold for the value of the U.S. dollar and the real incomes of future generations of Americans
The gradual result of the situation we find ourselves in will inevitably lead to inflation, loss of economic opportunity, and a decline in the value of the dollar. This book will show you why, and reveal how we might be able to deal with it.

Historia - Lynne Olson, Stanley Cloud - A Question of Honor The K...iuszko Squadron, Forgotten Heroes of World War II 2004.jpg

This book is the gripping, little-known story of the refugee Polish pilots who joined the RAF and played an essential role in saving Britain from the Nazis, only to be betrayed by the Allies after the war.

After Poland fell to the Nazis, thousands of Polish pilots, soldiers, and sailors escaped to England. Devoted to liberating their homeland, some would form the RAF’s 303 squadron, known as the Kosciuszko Squadron, after the elite unit in which many had flown back home. Their thrilling exploits and fearless flying made them celebrities in Britain, where they were “adopted” by socialites and seduced by countless women, even as they yearned for news from home. During the Battle of Britain, they downed more German aircraft than any other squadron, but in a stunning twist at the war’s end, the Allies rewarded their valor by abandoning Poland to Joseph Stalin. This moving, fascinating book uncovers a crucial forgotten chapter in World War II–and Polish–history.

Z archiwum IPN - Pomorski rajd majora ''Łupaszki'' (2009) (27m49s).avi

Po rozwiązaniu oddziału we wrześniu 1945 r. mjr Zygmunt Szendzielarz skierował się w stronę swojej organizacji macierzystej, czyli Eksterytorialnego Okręgu Wileńskiego. Wraz z najbardziej zaufanymi osobami przybył do Trójmiasta. Po nawiązaniu kontaktu z mjr. Antonim Olechnowiczem ps. „Pohorecki” uzgodnił, że utworzy nowe pododdziały. Po uzyskaniu zgody na działalność ściągnął swoich podkomendnych, z którymi działał na Białostocczyźnie, na Pomorze. Pierwsze działania dywersyjne rozpoczął zimą 1945/1946 r. W ciągu kolejnych sześciu miesięcy osiemdziesięcioosobowa Brygada mjr „Łupaszki” rozbiła 27 posterunków MO, UB, przeprowadziła 90 likwidacji funkcjonariuszy aparatu i agentów bezpieki. Warto pamiętać, że 1/3 składu osobowego stanowili ludzie pochodzący z Wileńszczyzny. Po najsłynniejszej akcji Brygady 19 maja 1946 r. (rozbrojenie 6 posterunków i likwidacji doradcy sowieckiego, 2 funkcjonariuszy UB i agentów) przeciwko „Łupaszce” skierowano 16 tys. wojska i funkcjonariuszy organów bezpieczeństwa. Akcja ta odbiła się echem na zachodzie Europy. Pisały o tym gazety, mówiło radio BBC.

Jako komentatorzy występują historycy: dr Tomasz Łabuszewski (IPN O/ Warszawa), dr Piotr Niwiński (UG).
