Road To Verdun
Road To Verdun
    Verdun was the largest,
    the longest and the
    bloodiest battle between
    the French and Germans in
    the First World War,
    lasting from February
    1916 until the end of the
    year and claiming more
    then 700, 000 casualties.
    For the French in
    particular, it was
    always more than just a
    battle, being rather (in
    Paul Valery's words) 'a
    complete war in itself,
    inserted in the Great
    War'. Ian Ousby's
    masterly book gives a
    dramatic and brilliantly
    illuminating account of
    the generals' planning
    and the troops'
    suffering. At the same
    time it challenges the
    narrow horizons of
    military history by
    locating the experience
    of Verdun in how the
    French had thought about
    themselves since the
    debacle of the
    Franco-Prussian War.
    Verdun emerges as the
    mid-point in the cycle of
    Franco-German hostility,
    carrying both the burden
    of history and - if only
    by the presence on the
    battlefield of men like
    Petain and de Gaulle,
    France's two leaders in
    the next war - the seeds
    of the future. The Road
    to Verdun will radically
    challenge every reader's
    view of France - and the
    very nature of warfare.

Europe
Europe's Last Summer
    The Great War not only
    destroyed the lives of
    over twenty million
    soldiers and civilians,
    it also ushered in a
    century of huge political
    and social upheaval, led
    directly to the Second
    World War and altered for
    ever the mechanisms of
    governments. And yet its
    causes, both long term
    and immediate, have
    continued to be shrouded
    in mystery. In Europe's
    Last Summer, David
    Fromkin reveals a new
    pattern in the happenings
    of that fateful July and
    August, which leads in
    unexpected directions.
    Rather than one war,
    starting with the
    assassination of Archduke
    Franz Ferdinand, he sees
    two conflicts, related
    but not inseparably
    linked, whose management
    drew Europe and the world
    into what The Economist
    described as early as
    1914 as 'perhaps the
    greatest tragedy in human
    history'.

The Plots To Rescue The Tsar
The Plots To Rescue The Tsar
    THE 'ROMANOV' BONES
    DISCREDITED - New
    scientific analysis
    challenges the
    authenticity of the DNA
    tests and of the bones
    themselves. THE PLOTS TO
    SAVE THE TSAR - Primary
    documentary evidence,
    including recently
    declassified intelligence
    files, reveals that
    Britain and her allies
    were pouring money and
    their finest secret
    agents into Russia as
    part of a top secret plan
    to topple the Bolsheviks
    and save the Tsar. A SAFE
    HOUSE - Incontrovertible
    proof that a secret house
    intended for the Tsar was
    built in a remote part of
    northern Russia and paid
    for by British
    Intelligence. A TALE OF
    SURVIVAL? - Urgent,
    coded telegrams sent by
    the American Embassy and
    Department of State five
    months after the Romanov
    family's disappearance
    suggest the Imperial
    Family may, after all,
    have survived-Told with
    the pace of a thriller,
    this highly readable and
    vigorously researched
    book is the biggest and
    most revolutionary
    re-investigation into the
    disappearance of the
    Romanovs for 25 years.

Europe
Europe's Last Summer
    The Great War not only
    destroyed the lives of
    over 20 million soldiers
    and civilians and wounded
    21 million more, it also
    ushered in a century of
    huge political and social
    upheaval, led directly
    to the Second World War
    and altered for ever the
    mechanisms of government
    from the most distant
    post of Empire (of
    whatever nationality) to
    the core of the old
    world. And yet its
    causes, both long term
    and immediate, have
    continued to be shrouded
    in mystery, and to be
    the subject of
    falsification at the time
    - papers, diaries and
    memoranda shredded by the
    principals so that the
    record has been
    fantastically hard to set
    straight - and later of
    impassioned debate by
    scholars from its
    aftermath until today.
    But David Fromkin has
    taken a new approach to
    the problem, which leads
    in unexpected directions
    and reveals a new pattern
    in the happenings of that
    fateful July and August.
    Rather than one war,
    starting with the
    assassination of Archduke
    Franz Ferdinand, he sees
    two conflicts, related
    but not inseparably
    linked, whose management
    - coupled with tragic
    miscommunication,
    misunderstanding and
    obfuscation - drew Europe
    and the world into what
    the Economist described
    as early as 1914 as
    'perhaps the greatest
    tragedy in human
    history'.
