Book excerpt: This magnificent novel of the air is set in the skies over northern France during the last year of the Great War. It is Spring 1918. Germany initiates a series of assaults along the Western Front in an all-out struggle against the allies. To the men of 303 Squadron, bled by years of conflict, victory seems an impossible dream. Amid sudden death and injury the young pilots pay a bitter price for experience during swift, deadly encounters with the enemy. Their Commanding Officer, Major Scott Cameron, must confront the future, changing times and the fulfilment of his destiny in the unforgiving skies where no quarter is asked or given. His struggle against an ever-present enemy has ill-prepared him for life at home, where more than his own future is at stake amid the hazards of influenza, conspiracy and profiteers. Scott must put all private hopes and fears behind him as betrayal threatens the very heart of all he loves. Finally, lost in grief and loneliness, Scott is uncertain of everything but his identity as a warrior.With attention to contemporary detail and vivacity of plot, Ron Eisele's outstanding ability as a storyteller is equalled by his skilful depiction and remarkable feeling for aerial warfare. 1918 Blue Skies Aloft immerses the reader in the brutal demands of a relentless and savage conflict.

Download or read book 1918 written by Peter Hart and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the huge mobile battles of 1918, which finally ended the Great War. 1918 was the critical year of battle as the Great War reached its brutal climax. Warfare of an epic scale was fought on the Western Front, where ordinary British soldiers faced the final test of their training, tactics and determination. That they withstood the storm and began an astonishing counterattack, is proof that by 1918, the British army was the most effective fighting force in the world. But this ultimate victory came at devastating cost. Using a wealth of previously unpublished material, historian Peter Hart gives a vivid account of this last year of conflict - what it was like to fight on the frontline, through the words of the men who were there. In a chronicle of unparalleled scope and depth, he brings to life the suspense, turmoil and tragedy of 1918's vast offensives.

Download or read book Literature and the Great War 1914 1918 written by Randall Stevenson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxford Textual Perspectives is a new series of informative and provocative studies focused upon literary texts (conceived of in the broadest sense of that term) and the technologies, cultures and communities that produce, inform, and receive them. It provides fresh interpretations of fundamental works and of the vital and challenging issues emerging in English literary studies. By engaging with the materiality of the literary text, its production, and reception history, and frequently testing and exploring the boundaries of the notion of text itself, the volumes in the series question familiar frameworks and provide innovative interpretations of both canonical and less well-known works. The Great War shaped the modern world, and much of its literary imagination. Literature and the Great War insightfully reassesses this impact, analysing a wide range of authors, both established and less well-known, and re-examining critical judgements, popular assumptions - even 'myths' - about war writing that have developed in the century or so that has followed. By looking at all genres of Great War writing in a single volume, the study allows reconsideration of the relative merits of the period's much-praised poetry and its generally less celebrated narrative texts. Randall Stevenson looks far beyond the work of soldier-authors, considering also the role of an older generation of writers - ones whose reputations were established before the war began - as well as the impact of war on the modernist imagination developing afterwards, in the 1920s. Literature and the Great War examines the context in which this literature was produced. Taking into consideration military life, the role of newspapers, war correspondents, politicians and propagandists. The unintelligible violence of the Great War placed a huge amount of pressure on the language, imagination, and textual practice of all who attempted to describe it. Incisively reconsidering these fundamental issues, Literature and the Great War challenges and rejuvenates approaches to its subject, redefining the interconnections of history, culture, and literary imagination in the early decades of the twentieth century.
Download or read book African Kaiser written by Robert Gaudi and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible true account of World War I in Africa and General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the last undefeated German commander. “Let me say straight out that if all military histories were as thrilling and well written as Robert Gaudi’s African Kaiser, I might give up reading fiction and literary biography… Gaudi writes with the flair of a latter-day Macaulay. He sets his scenes carefully and describes naval and military action like a novelist.”—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post As World War I ravaged the European continent, a completely different theater of war was being contested in Africa. And from this very different kind of war, there emerged a very different kind of military leader.... At the beginning of the twentieth century, the continent of Africa was a hotbed of international trade, colonialism, and political gamesmanship. So when World War I broke out, the European powers were forced to contend with one another not just in the bloody trenches, but in the treacherous jungle. And it was in that unforgiving land that General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck would make history. With the now-legendary Schutztruppe (Defensive Force), von Lettow-Vorbeck and a small cadre of hardened German officers fought alongside their fanatically devoted native African allies as equals, creating the first truly integrated army of the modern age. African Kaiser is the fascinating story of a forgotten guerrilla campaign in a remote corner of Equatorial Africa in World War I; of a small army of ultraloyal African troops led by a smaller cadre of rugged German officers—of white men and black who fought side by side. But mostly it is the story of von Lettow-Vorbeck—the only undefeated German commmander in the field during World War I and the last to surrender his arms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs of British medical officer J. C. Dunn during World War I: “The first duty of a battalion medical officer in War is to discourage the evasion of duty...not seldom against one’s better feelings, sometimes to the temporary hurt of the individual, but justice to all other men as well as discipline demands it.” “Sometimes, through word of mouth and shared enthusiasm, a secret book becomes famous. The War the Infantry Knew is one of them. Published privately in a limited edition of five hundred copies in 1938, it gained a reputation as an outstanding account of an infantry battalion's experience on the Western Front.”—Daily Telegraph “I have been waiting for a long time for someone to republish this classic. It is one of the most interesting and revealing books of its type and is a genuinely truthful and fascinating picture of the war as it was for the infantry”—John Keegan 'A remarkably coherent narrative of the battalion's experiences in diary form...a moving historical record which deserves to be added to the select list of outstanding accounts of the First World War”—Times Literary Supplement “A magnificent tour de force, the length of three ordinary books.”—London Review of Books

This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 845 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By interlacing the threads of managerial development through the 19th, 20th, and early 21st centuries, from capitalist managerialism to the emergence of management consultancy and management education, with particular focus on the American context, this book sheds light on the opportunities, challenges, and pitfalls facing the modern manager today. Especially relevant to aspiring managers seeking to learn more about business, serious questions are asked about management education and its provision. Providing an exposé on (and denunciation of) managerial fallacies, management failures, academic treachery, and greed, the author directly addresses the need for professional managers, to cope with the challenges on this planet to come. With a deep historical knowledge, breadth of vision and equally intellectually daring insight, the author offers the keys not only to an understanding of how we have reached our current position, but more importantly, how we might progress from here. This book sets the tone and heralds the need for real, practical, decisive change, leading to a more ethical, sustainable future.
