Download or read book Le port de Calais Traduction de Piera Fiammenghi written by Cristina Contilli and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1804, on découvre une tentative de coup d'état contre Napoléon, qui à cette époque-là occupait le poste de premier consul. La responsabilité d'avoir organisé la conspiration est attribuée à Louis-Antoine Henri de Bourbon, dernier descendant de la famille Condé et duc D'Enghien, qui vivait en exil à Baden et qui avait été enlevé par les services secrets françaises de l'époque, à fin d'être jugé à Paris par un tribunal militaire, présidé par le général Pierre Augustin Hulin. Le duc se proclamera toujours innocent, mais il sera quand même condamné à l'exécution. «Le Port de Calais » est une reconstitution de l'événement, présentée par un point de vue insolite, celui du comte Alain De Soissons, colonel de la Marine Française et cousin du duc D'Enghien, qui ne sera pas impliqué directement dans le procès, mais qui pourrait avoir eu, dans l'événement, un rôle plus marquant de ce qu'on avait cru jusqu'ici.

Download or read book Soldier Sailor Frogman Spy Airman Gangster Kill or Die written by Giles Milton and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking account of the first 24 hours of the D-Day invasion told by a symphony of incredible accounts of unknown and unheralded members of the Allied – and Axis – forces. An epic battle that involved 156,000 men, 7,000 ships and 20,000 armoured vehicles, D-Day was, above all, a tale of individual heroics – of men who were driven to keep fighting until the German defences were smashed and the precarious beachheads secured. This authentic human story – Allied, German, French – has never fully been told. Giles Milton’s bold new history narrates the events of June 6th, 1944 through the tales of survivors from all sides: the teenage Allied conscript, the crack German defender, the French resistance fighter. From the military architects at Supreme Headquarters to the young schoolboy in the Wehrmacht’s bunkers, Soldier, Sailor, Frogman, Spy, Airman, Gangster, Kill or Die lays bare the absolute terror of those trapped in the front line of Operation Overlord. It also gives voice to those who have hitherto remained unheard – the French butcher’s daughter, the Panzer Commander’s wife, the chauffeur to the General Staff. This vast canvas of human bravado reveals “the longest day” as never before – less as a masterpiece of strategic planning than a day on which thousands of scared young men found themselves staring death in the face. It is drawn in its entirety from the raw, unvarnished experiences of those who were there.
