Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tous les fronts dans un seul livre. Prix du livre d'histoire contemporaine 2024. Cet ouvrage est né d'un constat paradoxal. Si nous croulons a priori sous les livres portant sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il existe en réalité peu de grandes synthèses sur le sujet – et aucune de l'envergure de celle que propose Olivier Wieviorka. Fruit de nombreuses années de travail, elle innove d'abord par son approche globale qui la distingue des classiques anglo-américains qui privilégient les seules opérations militaires. Bien entendu, l'historien aborde tous les fronts : l'Europe évidemment, mais aussi l'Asie-Pacifique (si souvent négligée, en particulier la Chine), l'Afrique du Nord ou encore le Moyen-Orient. Il s'intéresse également à l'ensemble des acteurs (Canadiens, Australiens, Indiens...) et couvre tous les domaines : stratégique, comme il se doit, mais aussi idéologique, économique, logistique, diplomatique... – sans oublier l'histoire sociale et mémorielle habituellement traitée en parent pauvre. Enfin, l'auteur renouvelle largement la matière, souvent un peu datée, en intégrant les recherches les plus récentes dans une démonstration aussi rigoureuse sur le fond que limpide dans la forme. En découle un grand récit, bien écrit et formidablement incarné, qui montre à quel point ce conflit fut véritablement mondial et total. Un ouvrage qui s'attache de concert à raconter, comprendre et expliquer en faisant sienne l'exigence formulée par Albert Camus dans L'Homme révolté : " On estimera peut-être qu'une époque qui, en cinquante ans, déracine, asservit ou tue soixante-dix millions d'êtres humains doit seulement, et d'abord, être jugée. Encore faut-il que sa culpabilité soit comprise. " Prix du livre d'histoire contemporaine 2024.

Book excerpt: Il y a soixante-dix ans, la bataille de Berlin puis Hiroshima marquaient la fin du conflit le plus meurtrier de l'histoire de l'humanité. Débuté en septembre 1939 avec l'invasion de la Pologne par Hitler, il donne l'impression jusqu'en 1941 d'une victoire de la Wehrmacht, celle-ci ayant révolutionné l'art de la guerre par le Blitz qui lui permit de mettre à genoux la France, la Grèce, la Yougoslavie et une forte partie de l'Armée rouge. Le tournant majeur intervient fin 1941, lorsque la guerre – essentiellement européenne – devient mondiale avec Pearl Harbour, tandis que l'armée allemande cale devant Moscou. S'ensuivent plus de trois ans d'affrontements titanesques où la modernisation technologique va de pair avec la barbarisation dont témoigne la Shoah. Raconter ce quinquennat-charnière de l'histoire du XXe siècle oblige à une connaissance approfondie de l'ensemble de la documentation pour tous les fronts, mais aussi à posséder l'art de la narration au plus haut point. Jusqu'à ce jour, seuls trois grands historiens anglo-saxons ont relevé le défi avec succès : John Keegan, Liddel Hart et plus récemment Anthony Beevor. Trop partisans ou fragmentaires, les Français ont échoué en dépit de plusieurs tentatives. Conjuguant avec maestria le fond et la forme, maîtrisant les questions militaires, diplomatiques et économiques, passant d'un front à l'autre d'une plume alerte, émaillant son texte de portraits enlevés des principaux contemporains, Claude Quétel a relevé le défi, réussissant un grand livre d'histoire appelé à devenir un classique.

Download or read book The French Resistance written by Olivier Wieviorka and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Whatever happens, the flame of French resistance must not and will not go out.” As Charles de Gaulle ended his radio address to the French nation in June 1940, listeners must have felt a surge of patriotism tinged with uncertainty. Who would keep the flame burning through dark years of occupation? At what cost? Olivier Wieviorka presents a comprehensive history of the French Resistance, synthesizing its social, political, and military aspects to offer fresh insights into its operation. Detailing the Resistance from the inside out, he reveals not one organization but many interlocking groups often at odds over goals, methods, and leadership. He debunks lingering myths, including the idea that the Resistance sprang up in response to the exhortations of de Gaulle’s Free French government-in-exile. The Resistance was homegrown, arising from the soil of French civil society. Resisters had to improvise in the fight against the Nazis and the collaborationist Vichy regime. They had no blueprint to follow, but resisters from all walks of life and across the political spectrum formed networks, organizing activities from printing newspapers to rescuing downed airmen to sabotage. Although the Resistance was never strong enough to fight the Germans openly, it provided the Allies invaluable intelligence, sowed havoc behind enemy lines on D-Day, and played a key role in Paris’s liberation. Wieviorka shatters the conventional image of a united resistance with no interest in political power. But setting the record straight does not tarnish the legacy of its fighters, who braved Nazism without blinking.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with History focuses on a particular aspect of heritage preservation in the twentieth century: destruction and postwar reconstruction in Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, and The Netherlands. This book establishes a status quaestionis for the historiography of wartime and postwar preservation, and sets these particular developments in preservation history in the context of the general evolution of architecture and urbanism. The authors investigate the specific role of conservationists and heritage institutions and administrations in the overall reconstruction and examine the part played by architects and planners in heritage preservation.
Download or read book The Historiography of World War I from 1918 to the Present written by Christoph Cornelissen and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Treaty of Versailles to the 2018 centenary and beyond, the history of the First World War has been continually written and rewritten, studied and contested, producing a rich historiography shaped by the social and cultural circumstances of its creation. Writing the Great War provides a groundbreaking survey of this vast body of work, assembling contributions on a variety of national and regional historiographies from some of the most prominent scholars in the field. By analyzing perceptions of the war in contexts ranging from Nazi Germany to India’s struggle for independence, this is an illuminating collective study of the complex interplay of memory and history.
Download or read book Nazi Policy on the Eastern Front 1941 written by Alex J. Kay and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 and events on the Eastern Front that same year were pivotal to the history of World War II. It was during this year that the radicalization of Nazi policy -- through both an all-encompassing approach to warfare and the application of genocidal practices -- became most obvious. Germany's military aggression and overtly ideological conduct, culminating in genocide against Soviet Jewry and the decimation of the Soviet population through planned starvation and brutal antipartisan policies, distinguished Operation Barbarossa-the code name for the German invasion of the Soviet Union-from all previous military campaigns in modern European history. This collection of essays, written by young scholars of seven different nationalities, provides readers with the most current interpretations of Germany's military, economic, racial, and diplomatic policies in 1941. With its breadth and its thematic focus on total war, genocide, and radicalization, this volume fills a considerable gap in English-language literature on Germany's war of annihilation against the Soviet Union and the radicalization of World War II during this critical year. Alex J. Kay is the author of Exploitation, Resettlement, Mass Murder: Political and Economic Planning for German Occupation Policy in the Soviet Union, 1940-1941 and is an independent contractor for the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Research on War Consequences. Jeff Rutherford is assistant professor of history at Wheeling Jesuit University, where he teaches modern European history. David Stahel is the author of Operation Barbarossa and Germany's Defeat in the East and Kiev 1941: Hitler's Battle for Supremacy in the East.

Download or read book Origins and Birth of the Europe of football written by Paul Dietschy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The Europe of football’ is one of the aspects of the history of European integration that has generated the smallest amount of academic research. However, the successive invention of sporting traditions with a European calling since the Belle Epoque, followed by the creation of various European cups during the interwar constitute at the same time an original form of ‘Europe-building’ and a lasting contribution to the creation of a European space and spirit. The target of the authors in this book is to look back on the genesis of European competitions that leads to the creation of the European cups now organised by UEFA. It also seeks to show how football has made possible the setting up of a partially transnational space through sports journalism. Lastly, through the study of the mobility and connections of football’s actors, the different chapters will also try to identify the various phases of football’s Europeanisation process on the old continent. It will lay strong emphasis on the anthropological, cultural, economic, political and social aspects of this history, notably the production of body techniques, representations, emblematic figures, consumption habits and their role in the larger context of international relations. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in History.
Download or read book The Resistance in Western Europe 1940 1945 written by Olivier Wieviorka and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In just three months in 1940, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France fell to the Nazis. The German occupation of Western Europe had begun—but a brave few rose up in defiance. National resistance has long been celebrated in remembrances of World War II, depicted as making significant contributions to the defeat of Nazi Germany. However, the so-called army of shadows drew heavily on the support of London and Washington, a fact often forgotten in postwar Europe. The Resistance in Western Europe, 1940–1945 is a sweeping analytical history of the underground anti-Nazi forces during World War II. Examining clandestine organizations in Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Italy, Olivier Wieviorka sheds new light on the factors that shaped the resistance and its place in the grand scheme of Anglo-American military strategy. While national actors played a leading role in fomenting resistance, British and American intelligence services and propaganda as well as financial, material, and logistical support were crucial to its activities and growth. Wieviorka illuminates the policies of governments in exile and resistance actors regarding cooperation with the British and Americans, pointing to the persistence of national self-interest and long-standing historical tensions. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources and bringing together the political, diplomatic, and military dimensions of the conflict, this book is the first account of the resistance on a continental scale and from a trans-European perspective.
