Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It is our immense good fortune that a man who presided over this crisis in history is able to turn the action he lived through into enduring literature.” —The New York Times This book is the first in Winston Churchill’s monumental six-volume account of the struggle between the Allied Powers in Europe against Germany and the Axis during World War II. Told from the unique viewpoint of a British prime minister, it is also the story of one nation’s heroic role in the fight against tyranny. Having learned a lesson at Munich they would never forget, the British refused to make peace with Hitler, defying him even after France had fallen and it seemed as though the Nazis were unstoppable. What lends this work its tension and power is Churchill’s inclusion of primary source material. We are presented with not only Churchill’s retrospective analysis of the war, but also memos, letters, orders, speeches, and telegrams, day-by-day accounts of reactions as the drama intensifies. We listen as strategies and counterstrategies unfold in response to Hitler’s conquest of Europe, planned invasion of England, and assault on Russia. Together they give a mesmerizing account of the crucial decisions made as the fate of the world hangs in the balance. The Gathering Storm covers the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Adolf Hitler, the capitulation of Munich, and the entry of Britain into the war. This book makes clear Churchill’s feeling that the Second World War was a largely senseless but unavoidable conflict—and shows why Churchill earned the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953, in part because of this awe-inspiring work.

Download or read book The Gathering Storm written by Geirr H. Haarr and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'the phony war' is often applied to the first months of the Second World War, a term suggesting inaction or passivity. That may have been the perception of the war on land, but at sea it was very different. This new book is a superb survey of the fierce naval struggles, from 1939 up to the invasion of the Norway in April 1940.??The author begins the book with the sinking of the German fleet at Scapa Flow in 1919 and then covers the rebuilding of the Kriegsmarine and parallel developments in the Royal Navy, and summarises relevant advances in European navies. The main part of the book then describes the actions at sea starting with the fall of Poland. There is a complex, intertwined narrative that follows. The sinking of Courageous, the German mining of the British East Coast, the Northern Patrol, the sinking of Rawalpindi, small ship operations in the North Sea and German Bight, the Altmark incident are all covered. Further afield the author deals with the German surface raiders and looks at the early stages of the submarine war in the Atlantic.??As with his previous books, Geirr Haarr has researched extensively in German, British, and other archives, and the work is intended to paint a balanced and detailed picture of this significant period of the war when the opposing naval forces were adapting to a form of naval warfare quite different to that experienced in WWI.

Download or read book He enalu Days written by Benjamin Lane and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the life experience of Benjamin Lane and written as an autobiographical novel, He'enalu Days tells the spiritual journey of Dennis Hill, a wild-child surfer growing up in Kai Town, Honolulu, in the early 1980's, who walks into a life of drugs and parties. As a boy, Dennis falls in love with the ocean and the sport of surfing and feels that to he'enalu (surf or slide across a breaking wave) sets him free like nothing else can. Twenty years later, Dennis realizes his brokenness as a human being and cries out to God to save him. A war over his soul emerges, and Dennis discovers the physical realm we all live in reflects a coexisting spiritual realm that we cannot see, a spiritual realm that wields the power to overwhelm the physical realm in an instant. When no person can save him or ease his pain, Dennis discovers that Jesus Christ - the way and the truth and the life - is the only one who can set him free, and that eternity is too long to be wrong. These are his new He'enalu Days.
Download or read book Four Creations written by Gary H. Gossen and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 1222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four Creations is a collection of seventy-four stories told to Gary H. Gossen by Tzotzil Maya storytellers in San Juan Chamula, Mexico. Spanning four cycles of creations, destructions, and restorations from the dawn of cosmic order to the present era, this epic history reveals a distinctly Maya vision of the universe, grand in scope yet leavened with local humor, irony, and the Tzotzil narrators’ own critical commentaries. Four Creations includes mythic accounts of modern history, such as the Wars of Independence, the Mexican Revolution, and the current Protestant evangelical movement. Given in both transcribed Tzotzil and English translations, the texts are enlivened by more than one hundred Maya Indian drawings and by Gossen’s extensive ethnographic and historical notes based on his conversations with the narrators and more than thirty-five years of study. Miguel León-Portílla’s Foreword situates Four Creations within the broader context of Mesoamerican culture and traditions, while the Afterword by Jan Rus relates this work to recent events in modern-day Chamula.
