Book excerpt: Un superbe ouvrage, remarquablement documenté, qui passe en revue les héros qu'ils soient anonymes ou célèbres, mais que de toute manière l'on n'attendait pas là et qui ont vécu des aventures incroyables au cours des guerres. On apprendra ainsi que le frère de Görring passa son temps pendant la guerre à sauver des Juifs, lors du grand jeu de dupes qui conduisit les Allemands à persuader que le débarquement se déroulerait dans le Pas-de-Calais, la plus grosse difficulté que l'on éprouva fut de garder sobre pendant un mois l'Australien qui fut le sosie du maréchal Montgomery. Le président Kennedy était-il un héros de la marine ou aurait-il pu être passible de la cour martiale ? La vérité sur la disparition du plus célèbre des jazzmen américains Glen Miller durant l'offensive des Ardennes. Un épicier vit la guerre de Sécession commencer dans sa cuisine et se terminer dans son salon. Le célèbre Douglas Fairbanks fut un des marins les plus décorés de l'US Navy. Il créa l'ancêtre des commandos de marine. Quarante récits au style incisif, à déguster sans modération. Le style alerte de l'auteur et l'originalité de ses récits assureront au lecteur un sourire ou un rire à chaque page et la qualité de ses recherches l'éclairera sur les mécanismes parfois improbables de l'Histoire.

Download or read book Power and reputation at the court of Louis XIII written by Sharon Kettering and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to rehabilitate the reputation of Charles d'Albert, duc de Luynes, the controversial favourite of Louis XIII often maligned by historians. Kettering argues that the traditional historical interpretation of Luynes is significantly influenced by the testimony of Richelieu, who subjected Luynes to a devastating character assassination in his memoirs. Richelieu’s malice and the bias in histories based upon his memoirs justify another look at Luynes’ career. This book sifts through the historical evidence to offer a new perspective on Luynes, arguing that his contributions to the early years of Louis XIII’s government have been insufficiently appreciated, and in the process throws light upon a dark, unpleasant corner of Richelieu’s personality often ignored by historians. As well as advanced students and historians of early modern France, this book should interest those specialising in the history of the European courts, power politics, patronage and printed pamphlet literature.

Download or read book Huguenot Warrior written by Jack A. Clarke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to describe the Duke of Rohan's role as a political leader of the Huguenot party from 1621 to 1629 placing somewhat less emphasis on his military achievements. It makes no claim to biographical completeness. The narrative is based on con temporary books and pamphlets and on manuscripts in the Biblio theque nation ale, the British Museum, and the Public Record Office. Research was also done at the Newberry Library, the Library of Congress, and at the University of Wisconsin's Memorial Library, notably in its Montauban, Tank, and French Pamphlet collections. In the preparation of this book I have received advice and assistance from many people. Personal thanks are due to William P. Kaldis, Jack Ray Thomas, and Howard S. Miller for reading the manuscript and to my wife Anna for typing several drafts of it. Marguerite Chris tensen, reference librarian at the University of Wisconsin, helped me secure a number of rare volumes on interlibrary loan. I would also like to thank Cynthia Kaldis for translating a large number of diplo matic letters from Seventeenth century Latin.
