When Rollie Birch returns home from the Great War in 1919 with a cluster of medals, he feels as if he's landed in the wrong country. His wife has died, leaving behind an infant daughter born while he was overseas. His small logging town of Lumberton, Washington, has grown but still runs on gossip. Almost overnight, Rollie the hero becomes a pariah for his scandalous decision to raise his daughter by himself-a child rumored not to be his-and for refusing to talk about his wartime exploits.The past two years have changed Kay Sorensen as well. Daughter of the Lumberton timber baron, Kay spent the war working for her father, organizing patriotic and charitable efforts, and discovering her love for politics and business. But when her husband-Rollie's former platoon commander-returns, Kay expects, correctly, that he'll make her quit her job. She's dreamed of marriage as an equal partnership; now, she chafes under her husband's cold tyranny. Did the war change him?Rollie might know, and Kay steels herself to beg information from a man her husband has publicly insulted. But neither Kay nor Rollie can anticipate how secrets, lies, and horrifying revelations may destroy them. Do two lonely, passionate rebels have the moral courage to stand up to gossip, defy cultural boundaries, and dare reinvent themselves in a world forever changed?

Londres, 1939. Una ciudad devastada por la guerra se une a través de los libros.Inspirada en la verdadera historia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial de las pocas librerías que sobrevivieron al Blitz, una novela atemporal de pérdida, amor y el poder imperecedero de la literatura durante la guerra.Agosto de 1939: Londres se prepara para la guerra mientras las tropas de Hitler asolan Europa. Grace Bennett siempre ha soñado con trasladarse a la ciudad, pero los búnkeres y las cortinas corridas que se encuentra a su llegada no son lo que esperaba. Y, desde luego, jamás imaginó que acabaría trabajando en Primrose Hill, una librería poco convencional, antigua y polvorienta, ubicada en el corazón de Londres; después de todo, nunca ha sido una gran lectora.Entre apagones y bombardeos a medida que se intensifican los ataques aéreos, Grace descubre un nuevo consuelo en el poder que tiene la literatura para unir a su comunidad de un modo que jamás soñó; una fuerza que triunfa incluso en las noches más oscuras del Londres devastado por la guerra.

A book about bitter fates--both already known and yet to unfold--and the many kinds of organized machinery built to destroy people. Alexander Kluge's work has long grappled with the Third Reich and its aftermath, and the extermination of the Jews forms its gravitational center. Kluge is forever reminding us to keep our present catastrophes in perspective--"calibrated"--against this historical monstrosity. Kluge's newest work is a book about bitter fates, both already known and yet to unfold. Above all, it is about the many kinds of organized machinery built to destroy people. These forty-eight stories of justice and injustice are dedicated to the memory of Fritz Bauer, a determined fighter for justice and district attorney of Hesse during the Auschwitz Trials. "The moment they come into existence, monstrous crimes have a unique ability," Bauer once said, "to ensure their own repetition." Kluge takes heed, and in these pages reminds us of the importance of keeping our powers of observation and memory razor sharp.

Elmer and Charles Lange were born into a blue-collar family in Racine, Wisconsin. Both aspired to become famous artists and writers, following in the footsteps of their best friend, Theodore Czebotar. They left Racine for greener pastures, hopping trains, hitchhiking and biking across America in search of steady work and paychecks. Elmer honed his craft, far surpassing Charles in artistic ability. He continued drawing and painting until his suspicious death in 1942. Elmer's vast accumulation of art was held by his brother Leo and sister Ida until their deaths. At that point the collection took a strange journey, ultimately ending up in the hands of the author. This started his 25-year journey to unravel the mystery of these two talented brothers and bring their artwork into the light for all to enjoy.

This work deals with the representation of death in selected contemporary American novels: White Noise (1986) and Zero K (2016) by Don DeLillo, and Everyman (2003) and Nemesis (2010) by Philip Roth. Using the existential theories of Martin Heidegger, the psychoanalytical ideas of Sigmund Freud and the literary theory of dialogism by Mikhael Bakhtin, it looked into the cultural and private dynamics which altered the death epistemology in the selected novels. The existential, psychological and spiritual impacts of the dissimilar attitudes toward death range from denial to affirmation of its inevitability without admitting its existential/ ontological merit. Existential inauthenticity, meaninglessness, and loss of dwelling, in addition to psychological introversion and uncanniness, are consequences of the different representations of death. They articulate the postmodern estrangement from the naturalness and necessity of finitude. However, while DeLillo struggles against the postmodern cultural pathology of meaninglessness by advocating reconciliation with the inevitability of death, Roth struggles with the idea of mortality and offers a cynical image of death as humiliation.

In this highly anticipated follow-up to The Rifle, Andrew Biggio brings to light more untold stories from the quickly vanishing ranks of the veterans of World War II.

Als eine der großen Veteranenorganisationen und rechte Sammlungsbewegung war der "Stahlhelm - Bund der Frontsoldaten" ein bedeutender politischer Akteur der Weimarer Republik. Er stand in einem äußerst ambivalenten Verhältnis zum aufstrebenden Nationalsozialismus. Einerseits konkurrierten sie um die Vorherrschaft innerhalb des nationalen Lagers, andererseits erkannten beide Seiten den Nutzen einer Kooperation. Insbesondere den einfachen Stahlhelm-Mitgliedern erschien die NS-Bewegung als attraktive Alternative, die ihre Ziele zu erreichen schien. Die Konkurrenz steigerte sich 1931/32 zur erbitterten Feindschaft. Nach der Eingliederung eines Großteils der Bundesmitglieder in die SA im Jahr 1933 sah sich der Rest-Bund immer heftigeren Repressalien ausgesetzt, bevor er 1935 aufgelöst wurde. 1951 neu gegründet, konnte er nicht an seine früheren Erfolge anknüpfen. Mehrere Spaltungen beschleunigten den Niedergang der Organisation.

Wiener Werkstätte: Textiles and their design This book presents new research and archival findings on the textile and fashion designs of the Wiener Werkstätte movement (1903-1932). Textile specialists, art and design historians offer insights into the most important collections and archives in Austria, Switzerland, and the US.

" Existing literature maintains that the U.S. Marine Corps' operational success in the Pacific War rested upon two dominant themes: committed theoretical preparation and courageous battlefield action. Put simply, the Marines wrestled with the conceptual challenges of the amphibious assault in the 1920s and 1930s and developed the tools and methods necessary to seize a hostile beach. When Japanese forces attacked at Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Corps sent its brave and spirited infantrymen to advance across the enemy-held islands of the South and Central Pacific. But the full story runs much deeper. Though this conventional narrative captures essential elements of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps' triumph, it fails to account for substantial interwar deficiencies in fire control and coordination, as well as the critical wartime development of those capabilities between 1942 and 1945. Delivering Destruction is the first detailed study of American triphibious (land, sea, and air) firepower coordination in the Pacific War. In describing the Amphibious Corps' development of fire coordination teams and tactics in the Central Pacific, Hemler underlines the importance of wartime adaptation, battlefield coordination, and the primacy of the human element in naval combat. He reveals the untold story of American fire control and coordination teams in the Central Pacific. Through "bottom-up" adaptation and innovation, American troops and officers worked out practical solutions in the field, learning to effectively apply and integrate air and naval support during a contested amphibious assault. The Americans' ability to mount tremendous, synchronized firepower at the beachhead-a capability established through three years of grueling wartime adaptation-allowed the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to seize any fortified Japanese island of its choice by 1945. ]Despite advancing technology and expanding "domains" of warfare, combat remains a deeply interactive, human endeavor.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 19. Jahrhunderts, Note: 1,3, Universität Leipzig, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der folgenden Arbeit werde ich mich mit dem von Gottlob Frege 1918 veröffentlichten Text ¿Der Gedanke. Eine logische Untersuchung¿ auseinandersetzen. Dabei möchte ich erforschen, welche Auffassung Frege von dem Begriff der Wahrheit hat. Dazu werde ich im ersten Kapitel untersuchen, welche Entitäten für Wahrheit in Frage kommen. Die Beantwortung dieser Frage wird sich durch die gesamte Arbeit ziehen. Außerdem möchte ich prüfen, ob Wahrheit eine Eigenschaft ist. Im zweiten Kapitel werde ich mich anhand von Bildern und Vorstellungen genauer mit Freges Vorschlag befassen, dass Wahrheit in einer Korrespondenzbeziehung besteht. Hier möchte ich ebenfalls erläutern, warum Frege diese These wieder verwirft. Im dritten Kapitel werde ich versuchen, die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse zu einer Wahrheitsdefinition zu nutzen und nachzuvollziehen, warum Frege Wahrheit für undefinierbar hält. Abschließend soll im letzten Kapitel untersucht werden, wie etwas als ¿wahr¿ erkannt werden kann und ob wir einen Wahrheitssinn haben.

**A Telegraph Best History Book 2023 and Spectator Book of the Year**The inspirational story of the ordinary people who forged the documents that saved thousands of Jewish lives in World War Two.'Powerful ... gripping ... inspiring' JONATHAN DIMBLEBYBetween 1940 and 1943, a small group of Polish diplomats and Jewish activists in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable - and until now, almost completely unknown - humanitarian operation. Under the leadership of the Polish Ambassador, Aleksander Lados, they undertook a systematic programme of forging identity documents for Latin American countries, which were then smuggled into German-occupied Europe to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust.The Lados operation was one of the largest rescue missions of the entire war, and The Forgers tells this extraordinary story for the first time. We follow the desperate bids of Jews to obtain these life-saving documents, and their painful uncertainty over whether they will be granted protection from the Nazis' murderous fury. And we witness the quiet heroism of those who decided to act in an attempt to save thousands of lives.'Fascinating' The Times'Remarkable' Sunday Times'As gripping as it is moving' JULIA BOYD'An astonishing book' KATJA HOYER

"This is the story of the largest reunion of Union and Confederate veterans ever held: its genesis and planning, the obstacles overcome on the way to making it a reality, its place in the larger narrative of sectional reunion and reconciliation, and the individual stories of the veterans who attended"--

"Who are Secret Agent Gals, Hilla Rebay and Peggy Guggenheim? Just two beautiful real-life socialite art collector ladies who later founded the Guggenheim Museum, but first answered the call of duty, joined the FBI, and pretty much won World War II all by themselves. They steal Hitler's and Stalin's mojos and use a secret weapon brewed in St. Louis to put down the Great Indian Uprising. (Of course, you remember that, right?) They save J. Edgar Hoover and his handsome sidekick Clyde Tolson from treasonous agents and The Pigeon who want to take over the FBI and run all the Post Toastiesª Junior G-Men Clubs. The Gals team up with Secret Agent X-9, Presidential Agent 103, Chief Shitting Bull, James Bonds' father Jonquil "Junk" Bond, the Bama Jamma of the Brooklyn Girls Roller Derby Team, the King and Queen of England and their corgis, and the FBI's bevy of beautiful Secret Agent Super Sluts-whew, what a list!-to uncover a secret so awful, so terrible, it shouldn't even be hinted at on the back cover of a book"--

The true story of a German agent sent to the United States during World War I to launch a terror campaign of sabotage and murder, and the American counterintelligence effort that led to his capture.

"...a true gem, providing Second World War history enthusiasts with a unique look at how in August of 1942 a hardly imposing German defensive grouping defeated a far better trained and equipped Allied raiding force." -- Globe at WarThe German part in the 19 August 1942 Dieppe raid has largely been ignored. Launched by Winston Churchill to appease his Soviet counterparts, Operation JUBILEE was one of the Allies' greatest debacles of the war. The majority of the 6,100 soldiers and marines dispatched by Lord Louis Mountbatten were captured or killed. Just 2,211 of the 4,963 Canadians involved returned to England. Two years later the Canadian Army fought from Normandy into Germany with fewer men captured than at Dieppe.By exploring the German experience, this superbly researched book provides answers to previously unasked operational questions. How well were the Nazi occupiers prepared for an attack on Dieppe? What threat did the raid pose to the Germans' defense of mainland Europe? What lessons did the Wehrmacht learn, and did their High Command use the Dieppe experience when preparing for the inevitable Allied invasion of 'Fortress Europe'? How did Hitler and his henchmen respond to the Western Allies' failure to break down their defenses in occupied western Europe? The book also addresses how Goebbels' propaganda machine exploited the victory, and the reaction of the German people.Drawing on extensive German source materials, the Wehrmacht's role in defeating Operation JUBILEE is comprehensively examined in fascinating detail, adding a new dimension to the history of this poorly-planned and under-resourced adventure.

The half-naked young woman was found by Mr. Eronnais, the cop from the nearby village. A report had to be made, as he had learned at the police academy. Finding a corpse on the beach is not like finding a hot dog. No, it was an unpleasant surprise for Mr. Eronnais, though a professional one; he put on gloves and examined the corpse carefully. No recourse to recognizable strength!

People are disappearing. I spoke to my neighbour yesterday, we laughed at some nonsense, and today he is gone. We only discovered he was missing because the dog wouldn't stop howling and we all knew he would never leave his beloved pet. So I am careful, extremely careful. I used to live in Berlin, on Prenzlauer Allee. Now I live in East Berlin, still on Prenzlauer Allee. To many it may seem a difference scarcely worth mentioning, one small extra word added. But to me it is the difference between night and day, between life and death. In East Berlin no one trusts anybody any more.Two families divided by war. A entire city on the edge of disaster.1948, Berlin. Russian troops have closed all access to the city. Roads, railway lines and waterways are blocked and a city of two million people is trapped, relying on airlifts of food, water and medicine to survive. Anna and Ingrid are very different women resorting to very different ways to survive. But they both need to find those they love and, to do that, find a way to escape from Berlin.Praise for kate Furnivall's writing:'Kate Furnivall has a talent for creating places and characters who stay with you long after you have read the final word' JANE CORRY'Hugely ambitious and atmospheric' KATE MOSSE'Perfect escapist reading' MARIE CLAIRE'Fast-paced with a sinister edge' THE TIMES'Thrilling, compelling, wonderful!'

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, Note: 1, , Veranstaltung: Ästhetik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit ist die Verschriftlichung eines Referats zur Annäherung an die Gedankenwelt Adornos, um eine Form zu finden, welche subjektive Schlussfolgerungen, eigene Positionen und mögliche Bezugnahmen zur Gegenwart zulässt. Inwiefern ist der Gedanke, Kunst besäße ein ergründbares und ursprüngliches Wesen, heute noch relevant und was hat zeitgenössische Kunst damit zu tun?

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, Note: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wie beurteilen wir, ob eine Handlung moralisch richtig oder falsch ist? Welche Gründe gibt es, eine falsche Handlung nicht zu tun und warum sollten wir gewissen Gründen Vorrang vor anderen Anliegen und Werten einräumen? T.M. Scanlon gibt in seinem Werk ¿What we owe to each other¿ ganz neue Antworten auf diese Fragen. Auf Fragen, die sich seiner Meinung nach auf denjenigen Teil der Moral beziehen, den er ¿was wir einander schulden¿ nennt. Nach seiner kontraktualistischen Sichtweise beinhaltet nämlich die Frage nach moralisch richtig oder falsch immer auch die Überlegung, was dem anderen gegenüber gerechtfertigt werden und von diesem nicht vernünftigerweise abgelehnt werden kann.
