Cari,non scrivetemi tutto - Gli Isaak:una famiglia in trappola fra Hitler e Stalin | Livio Isaak Sirovich usato Storia Guerre mondiali

Describes the growing hostility against Jews in Memel, parallel to the rise of Nazism in Germany. Most of the family fled to other parts of Lithuania, where they experienced pogroms in 1941 and 1942, after the German invasion. The Church and the press were instrumental in reinforcing the hostility against the Jews, accusing them, among others, of being Russian collaborators. Some members of the family perished during the liquidation of the ghettos of Kovno and Vilna, some found refuge in the forest, and others managed to emigrate to Canada or Israel. The letters deal mainly with everyday questions; the writers avoided discussing the terrible circumstances which affected them. also summarizes political developments in Trieste during the war and the consequences they had on the Jews.

Early Japanese Railways 1853-1914 - Engineering triumphs that trasformed meiji-era Japan | Dan Free usato Fotografici Illustrati Fotografici

Early Japanese Railways 1853-1914 is a cultural and engineering history of railway building in Japan during the Meiji era.The importance of early railways in the industrialization of the United States and Europe is a fact all of us are familiar with. To witness the amazing parallel development of the railways in Japan, happening at much the same time as America was connecting its vast hinterland to the East and West coasts, is an eye-opening realization. In Early Japanese Railways 1853–1914, Dan Free tells the fascinating story of the rise of Japanese rail amidst a period of rapid modernization during Japan's Meiji era. Leaving behind centuries of stagnation and isolation, Japan would emerge into the 20th century as a leading modern industrialized state. The development of the railways was a significant factor in the cultural and technological development of Japan during this pivotal period. Free's rare photographic and historical materials concerning Japan's early railways, including a print showing the miniature steam engine brought to Japan by Admiral Perry aboard his "Black Ships" to demonstrate American superiority, combine to form a richly detailed account that will appeal to students of Japanese history and railway buffs alike. This one-of-a-kind book, Early Japanese Railways 1853–1914, illuminates for non-Japanese-speaking readers the early history of Japanese railroads, and in the process the fascinating story of Japan's prewar industrial modernization. Anyone interested in train history or mode trains will find this book a fascinating read.

To crown the waves - The great navies of the First World War | Vincent P. O'Hara, W. David Dickson, Richard Worth usato Storia Guerre mondiali

To crown the waves - The great navies of the First World War | Vincent P. O'Hara, W. David Dickson, Richard Worth usato Storia Guerre mondiali

The only comparative analysis available of the great navies of World War I, this work studies the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, the German Kaiserliche Marine, the United States Navy, the French Marine Nationale, the Italian Regia Marina, the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine, and the Imperial Russian Navy to demonstrate why the war was won, not in the trenches, but upon the waves. It explains why these seven fleets fought the way they did and why the war at sea did not develop as the admiralties and politicians of 1914 expected. After discussing each navy's goals and circumstances and how their individual characteristics impacted the way they fought, the authors deliver a side-by-side analysis of the conflict's fleets, with each chapter covering a single navy. Parallel chapter structures assure consistent coverage of each fleet--history, training, organization, doctrine, materiel, and operations--and allow readers to easily compare information among the various navies. The book clearly demonstrates how the naval war was a collision of 19th century concepts with 20th century weapons that fostered unprecedented development within each navy and sparked the evolution of the submarine and aircraft carrier. The work is free from the national bias that infects so many other books on World War I navies. As they pioneer new ways of viewing the conflict, the authors provide insights and material that would otherwise require a massive library and mastery of multiple languages. Such a study has special relevance today as 20th-century navies struggle to adapt to 21st-century technologies.
