Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiroshima, Verdun, Reims, Ypres, Guernica, Londres, Stalingrad, Hambourg, Madrid... Si, depuis qu'il existe des villes, leur conquête a été un des objets habituels de la guerre, l'une des transformations majeures des conflits modernes se lit dans le fait que, qu'il s'agisse de la guerre « classique » ou de la guerre civile, les populations urbaines sont devenues l'enjeu même des combats, les victimes désignées des stratégies d'anéantissement du moral et de la volonté de combattre de l'adversaire. Pourtant, la bataille n'est pas toute la guerre et les villes ont inégalement subi le temps des épreuves. Cet ouvrage, qui rassemble les communications présentées lors d'un colloque organisé par le Centre d'histoire de la ville (CEHVI), de l'Université de Tours, s'interroge sur les manières dont guerre et fait militaire irriguent l'espace urbain et sur les rapports entre guerre et identités urbaines. Les quelque 30 contributions ici rassemblées illustrent la richesse et le renouvellement d'une historiographie touchant à un grand thème de l'histoire.

Download or read book Guerre la Ville et le Soldat La written by Jean-Louis Dufour and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2002-02 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La ville en temps de guerre a toujours constitué un objectif militaire dont le combattant répugnait naguère à s’emparer de vive force. Hoplite grec ou G’I américain : il préférait se battre en rase campagne. Aujourd’hui, tout a changé. Le soldat doit désormais, dans l’urgence, rétablir ou imposer la paix en ville, assurer à tout prix la sécurité menacée des citadins. Demain, la paix sera urbaine ou elle ne sera pas. Ce livre raconte la marche commune de la guerre et de la ville au travers de mille exemples surprenants, de l’Antiquité à nos jours. Il narre d’incroyables histoires de sièges et de bombardements, de révoltes et d’insurrections où le courage, l’invention, la détermination des hommes impriment aux événements un caractère d’extraordinaire âpreté. Ancien attaché militaire au Liban, Jean-Louis Dufour a été chargé du suivi de la situation internationale à l’état-major des armées. Il s’est ensuite spécialisé dans l’étude des crises internationales et des conflits armés contemporains. Professeur associé à l’École militaire de Saint-Cyr, il enseigne dans divers instituts et universités français et étrangers. Il a notamment publié La Guerre au XXe siècle (avec Maurice Vaïsse) et Les Crises internationales, de Pékin-1900 au Kosovo-1999.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outcome of a scientific conference organized in November 2021, this volume aims to provide a picture of how the aristocratic political class of France and Moldavia sought to challenge monarchical power and how the latter tried to reassert itself in face of this turbulent nobility, in the context of the endemic civil wars that plagued both countries during the chosen period. For this purpose, this volume tries to analyze both the ideological issues involved in these endemic struggles, as they appear in the propaganda of the period, and the practical aspects and consequences (political intrigues or military developments) of the conflictual relationship between the rulers of these countries and their discontented nobles. Divided into two sections, one dedicated to the case of France during the Wars of Religion, the other to Moldavia from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the seventeenth century, this volume is also the result of a collaborative work between French and Romanian academics, who thus tried to bridge what seemed like a (large) geographical gap in order to benefit from different perspectives and thus gain a better insight into different (but maybe not so different) models of early modern European political cultures. In the end, despite the distance between them, in early modern France and Moldavia, to effectively challenge the authority of the king or prince, one had to take up arms: and the nobility, who imagined itself first and foremost as a military order, did exactly that. But there is more to this clash between ruler and rebels than a mere contest of military strength. Despite the apparent political and cultural differences between early modern France and Moldavia, there is one common feature that influenced the behaviour of the rebels in both countries: the need for a justification of the revolt. Since the rebels operated in a political environment where the king (or the prince) was the source of all legitimacy (in particular, the nobility was beholden to the traditional aristocratic ethos of loyalty towards the ruler) and this common mentality of politics shaped the actions of the ruling class, they had to persuade the public opinion (domestic or international) of the righteousness of their cause.

Download or read book City Fights written by John Antal and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Urban terrain will likely be the predominant battlefield of future wars.” As September 11 and Somalia proved, hostile forces are now engaging America differently, avoiding open combat with our enormous military, striking at our civic centers or dragging us into theirs. But urban warfare isn’t new; it is as old as the battle of Jericho. Now an incomparable collection written by esteemed military veterans—some currently serving, others civilian analysts—re-creates the last century’s most astonishing examples of this kind of fighting . . . and offers important lessons for our future. Here are fourteen riveting histories that are both invaluable teaching tools for security leaders and engrossing accounts for any reader. They include • William M. Waddell’s “Tai-Erh-Chuang, 1938: The Japanese Juggernaut Smashed”—How China defeated the Japanese in battle for the first time in three hundred and forty years, by using a city only as a pivot area and attacking the exposed flank and rear ranks of its unprepared enemy. • Eric M. Walters’s “Stalingrad, 1942: With Will, a Weapon, and a Watch”—The largest and longest-running urban fight of the twentieth century, in which the Red Army became the tortoise to the Germans’ hare, out-lasting its stronger foe. • Norm Cooling’s “Hue City, 1968: Winning a Battle While Losing a War”—The six-day fight for the cultural center of Vietnam revealed how the American military’s distrust of the media made it fail to expose the enemy’s mass executions and lose the all-important information war. And these eleven additional accounts: “Warsaw, 1944: Uprising in Eastern Europe” by Maj. David M. Toczek “Arnhem, 1944: Airborne Warfare in the City” by Lt. Col. G. A. Lofaro “Troyes, France, 1944: All Guns Blazing” By Col. Peter R. Mansoor “Budapest, 1944-45: Bloody Contest of Wills” by Col. Peter B. Zwack “Aschaffenburg, 1945: Cassino on the Main River” by Mark J. Reardon “Manila, 1945: City Fight in the Pacific” by Col. Kevin C. M. Benson “Berlin, 1945: Backs Against the Wall” by Maj. Mike Boden “Jaffa, 1948: Urban Combat in the Israeli War of Independence” by Benjamin Runkle “Seoul, 1950: City Fight after Inchon” by Maj. Thomas A. Kelley “Da Nang-Hoi An, A Tank Skirmish in Quang Nam Province” by Dennis C. Fresch “Evolution of Urban Combat Doctrine” by Mark J. Reardon From the 1944 Warsaw uprising that almost caused the complete destruction of Poland’s capital to the crucial, near-forgotten fight for Manila in 1945 . . . from snipers and shoulder-launched missiles to tunnels and tanks . . . all aspects of the most important urban conflicts are revealed in stunning detail. Compelling and cautionary, City Fights powerfully reminds us that, in our ever more urbanized and vulnerable world, “if a state loses its cities, it loses the war.”
