Mysteries of the Norman Conquest: Unravelling the Truth of the Battle of Hastings and the Events of 1066
by Robert AllredRecent challenges to the traditional site of the Battle of Hastings have led to a surge of interest in the events surrounding England’s most famous battle. This, in turn, has increased speculation that the titanic struggle for the English crown in 1066 did not take place on the slopes of what is today Battle Abbey, with a number of highly plausible alternative locations being proposed. The time had clearly come to evaluate all these suggestions, and Robert Allred decided to take on that task. Taking nothing for granted, Robert hiked round the sites of the three battles of 1066 – Fulford, Stamford Bridge and Hastings. Armed with the medieval sources and much of the current literature, he set out to appraise the evidence and to draw his own unbiased conclusions. Following in the footsteps of the Viking warriors of Harald Hardrada, the knights of William of Normandy and the Anglo-Saxon soldiers of King Harold, the reader is taken on a journey from Yorkshire to the South Coast and down through the ages to re-examine what has been written about that momentous year – the intrigues, preparations and manoeuvres – which culminated on 14 October 1066, on a bloody hill somewhere in Sussex. Whether this will settle the debate over the site of the Battle of Hastings or prompt further investigations remains to be seen, but it will be a book which cannot be ignored and which the reader will be unable to put down!
Mystery in Trib 2: Alaska hiking, flying, and gold mining adventure interwoven with a World War II mystery
by Douglas AndersonAs a sequel to Gold in Trib 1, Doug's new book, Mystery in Trib 2 is an interesting blend of fact and fiction; factual in terms of the flying, hiking, and gold-mining two friends enjoyed; fictional in the form of a cleverly woven mystery concerning the loss of a World War II military aircraft. The story is well researched and so masterfully formulated the reader will be hard pressed to separate historical fact from fiction. Mystery in Trib 2 portrays wilderness Alaska accurately and as it can be experienced by anyone fired with a lust for outdoor adventure.
Mystery of Missing Flight F-BELV
by Stephen WynnThe true story of the aircraft that disappeared between Saigon and Hanoi, one of the enduring mysteries of the Vietnam War.Following the Geneva Accords in 1954, Vietnam found itself separated into North and South, with communist North Vietnam under the control of Ho Chi Minh. At the same time, the International Commission for Supervision and Control (ICSC) was established, whose role it was to oversee the implementation of the Accords.On October 18, 1965, an ICSC aircraft, F-BELV, was on a regular weekly flight from Saigon to Hanoi, stopping at Phnom Penh, in Cambodia, and Vientiane, in Laos. Twenty minutes after leaving Vientiane, the captain contacted the authorities at Hanoi to give his ETA, but the aircraft never arrived. It is believed to be the only aircraft never to have been recovered from the Vietnam War.But what really happened and why? Did the aircraft crash, or was it shot down? Did it happen over Laos or North Vietnam?Mystery of Missing Flight F-BELV examines all aspects of the Vietnam War, particularly the events of 1965, and how tensions in the region heightened as the first American combat troops arrived in Vietnam. It investigates the role of the CIA, and whether their involvement had any bearing on the disappearance of F-BELV. It looks at those on board the aircraft, including James Sylvester Byrne, a sergeant in the Canadian Army and a relation to the author of this book. Was he just a regular soldier? Or was he really an intelligence officer gathering information to share with the Americans? This compelling book delves into these questions and into one of the enduring mysteries of the war.
Mystery on the Mountain: The Drama of the Sinai Revelation
by Theodor ReikAn illustrated collection of twelve comparative folk tales, ten African and two Jewish."A great psychoanalyst," notes the front jacket panel, "intimate friend and colleague of Sigmund Freud—sheds new light on the origins and meaning of Judaeo-Christian religion.A choice anecdote about Anatole France, published not long after his death in memoirs by an intimate friend, seems easily the best way to introduce the story of the long journey I have undergone in preparing the present book. The anecdote presents the renowned author in an amiable conversation with the secretary of a magazine, who asks impatiently why it is necessary for so seasoned a writer to delay so long before correcting galley proofs. The author explains: “I have first to forget what I have written in order to see it with new eyes. Only then do I become aware of what is not immediately understandable and of what is not simple and clear.” He adds finally: “You see, what is natural comes only at the end.”
Myteknusing om Holocaustbenektelses Teorier
by James Morcan Lance Morcan Elisabet NorrisMyteknusing om Holocaustbenektelses Teorier: To Ikke-Jøder Bekrefter Nazistenes Folkemord Historisitet, er skrevet av de to uavhengige undersøkerne og filmskaperne, James Morcan & Lance Morcan med forord skrevet av Holocaust overlevende, Hetty E. Verolme (forfatter av The Children's House of Belsen). Hensikten med denne boken er å gjøre ende på benektelsen en gang for alle, ved å gå rett på sak med å takle dette bisarre fenomen. Skrevet i nært samsvar med Holocaust overlevende og andre verdenskrigs historikere, snur de hver stein ved å verifisere, nøyaktig, de historiske sannhetene om folkemordet. Morcan teamet presenterer en lang rekke resurrser som inkluderer nazi dokumenter, øyenvitneskildringer, vitenskaplige rapporter og sjokkerende fotografiske bevis, som slår ned debatten som benekterne så flittig forsøker å få til. De forskjellige argumentene som Holocaust benekterne bruker for å nedvurdere krigstids dokumenter, er nøye undersøkt og systematisk feilbevist. Myteknuste teorier inkluderer: At de seks millioner dødsfall tallene er en overdrivelse; utryddelser i gasskamre er oppdiktet; Adolf Hitler og det tredje rike er feil ærekrenket; analyse av Holocaust dokumenter er en tabu, fordi enkelte lover i Europa kriminaliserer benekterne, «onde sionister» og Israel er så mektige at de kan sensurere historie. Holocaust har vist seg, i denne bokens sider, til å være en av de mest veldokumenterte og mest historisk og vitenskapelig beviste forbrytelser i det 20. århundre. I prosessen, er mange av verdens mest ill beryktede benektere avslørt til å være ikke noe mer enn antisemitter som søker å ærekrenke, undervurdere, og forderve verdens jødiske menneskeheten. Disse inkluderer den vanærede britiske historikeren, David Irving og den tidligere iranske presidenten, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Denne boka klargjør også over to årtusener og en global historie, hvor antisemittisme, helt fra bibelens tid, ha
Myth and the Greatest Generation: A Social History of Americans in World War II
by Kenneth RoseMyth and the Greatest Generation calls into question the glowing paradigm of the World War II generation set up by such books as The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw. Including analysis of news reports, memoirs, novels, films and other cultural artefacts Ken Rose shows the war was much more disruptive to the lives of Americans in the military and on the home front during World War II than is generally acknowledged. Issues of racial, labor unrest, juvenile delinquency, and marital infidelity were rampant, and the black market flourished. This book delves into both personal and national issues, calling into questions the dominant view of World War II as ‘The Good War’.
Myths and Legends of the Eastern Front: Reassessing the Great Patriotic War
by Boris Sokolov“This English translation of the original Russian work is thought provoking, challenging the ‘official’ version of what happened” during World War II (Firetrench).The memory of the Second World War on the Eastern Front—still referred to in modern Russia as the Great Patriotic War—is an essential element of Russian identity and history, as alive today as it was in Stalin’s time. It is represented as a defining episode, a positive historical myth that sustains the Russian national idea and unites the majority of Russian citizens.As a result, as Boris Sokolov shows in this powerful and thought-provoking study, the heroic and tragic side of the war is highlighted while the dark side—the incompetent, negligent and even criminal way the war was run—is overlooked. Although almost eighty years have passed since the defeat of Nazi Germany, he demonstrates that many of the fabrications put forward during the war and immediately afterwards persist into the present day.In a sequence of incisive chapters he uncovers the truth about famous wartime episodes that have been consistently misrepresented. His bold reinterpretation should go some way towards dispelling the enduring myths about the Great Patriotic War. It is necessary reading for anyone who is keen to understand how it continues to be distorted in Russia today.

Myths and Legends of the First World War
by James HaywardDuring the First World War, a rich crop of legends sprouted from the battlefields and grew with such ferocity that many still excite controversy today. This book is the first to examine the roots of those stories and reveal the truth. Some myths remain well-known. Did an entire battalion of the Norfolk Regiment vanish without trace at Gallipoli in 1915? Did thousands of Russian troops actually pass through England with snow on their boots? In 1914, an acute spy mania gripped the British public, who imagined that the country was brimming with German spies. Xenophobia, denunciations and attacks on dachshunds were rampant. Amazingly, there was even talk of enemy aircraft dropping poisoned sweets to kill British children. Myths such as the Angel of Mons and the Comrade in White were more innocent creations. With no radio or television, rumours of disaster were rife, and the apparition of mystical guardian spirits gave hope to the civilian population at home. Other stories, such as the so-called Crucified Canadian, and the existence of a gruesome German corpse rendering factory, were more sinister. Yet in an age of new and startling technologies such as poison gas, submarine warfare and the tank, such tales appeared believable. Using a wide range of contemporary sources, James Hayward traces the story of each myth and examines the likely explanation. Supported by a selection of rare photographs and illustrations, the result is a refreshingly different perspective on the common ‘mud and trenches’ view of the First World War, shedding fascinating new light on many curious and unexplained wartime tales.
Más allá del tiempo
by David GrossmanUsando las palabras como anclas para no caer en la locura, David Grossman, Man Booker International Prize 2017, ha querido cerrar una historia que empezó con La vida entera y nos lleva a lugares donde solo el genio de un gran escritor puede llegar. Calladosestuvimos esperando la mañana.Una mañanaque nollegaba.La sangrenocorría por las venas.Me levanté, te envolvíen una manta,me agarraste la mano, me mirastea los ojos: el hombrey la mujerque un día fuimosinclinaron la cabezaen señal de despedida. Esa fue la mañana en que un hombre y una mujer perdieron a su hijo. Ahora, cinco años después, él emprende una marcha desesperada más allá del tiempo para encontrarse con este joven que ya no habla, ya no sonríe... ya no es. En el camino le acompañan otros peregrinos, todos buscando a sus hijos, y en ese peregrinaje aprenden a desafiar a lamuerte y a morder el dolor.
Mémoires Du Capitaine Duthilt
by Général de Division Camille Baruch Lévi Capitaine Pierre-Charles Duthilt« Ces souvenirs, bien que rédigés tardivement et souhaitant être avant tout l'histoire du régiment, contiennent d'intéressants détails sur l'armée de Naples et la campagne des Calabres (ch. X-XI). Après avoir surtout combattu en Italie, Duthilt a participé à la bataille de Waterloo dont il donne un vivant récit (ch. XVIII).

N or M?: A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition (Tommy & Tuppence Mysteries #3)
by Agatha ChristieSet during the dark days of World War II, Agatha Christie’s N or M? puts two most unlikely espionage agents, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, on the trail of a pair of Nazi spies who have murdered Britain’s top agent.World War II is raging, and while the RAF struggles to keep the Luftwaffe at bay, Britain faces a sinister threat from “the enemy within”—Nazis posing as ordinary citizens.With pressure mounting, the intelligence service appoints two improbable spies, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. Their mission: to seek out a man and a woman from among the colorful guests at Sans Souci, a seaside hotel. But this assignment is far from an easy stroll along the promenade—N and M have just murdered Britain’s finest agent and no one can be trusted.
NATO Arms Co-operation: A Study in Economics and Politics (Routledge Library Editions: Cold War Security Studies #29)
by Keith HartleyThis book, first published in 1983, examines weapons standardisation as one aspect of NATO’s efficiency. It analyses the economic arguments for weapons standardisation, the limitations of the analysis and the available evidence. A political economy or public choice approach is used, with its emphasis on policy developments in the political market place of voters, political parties, bureaucracies and interest groups. These agents are central to understanding the function of weapons procurement policy within the Alliance.
NATO Enters the 21st Century
by Ted Galen CarpenterNATO's military intervention in Yugoslavia highlights the choices and problems confronting the alliance as it approaches the new century. An alliance created to keep Western Europe out of the Soviet orbit during the Cold War has sought to reinvent itself as a "crisis-management" organization to suppress conflicts on Europe's periphery - and perhaps beyond.Is NATO suited to playing such a role, or is the alliance a Cold War anachronism? How will Russia react to an enlarged NATO focused on out-of-area peacekeeping and conflict-prevention missions? Are there alternative security institutions that might better address Europe's security needs in the post-Cold War era?
NATO and Collective Defence in the 21st Century: An Assessment of the Warsaw Summit
by Karsten FriisThis book presents a cutting-edge assessment of NATO's collective defence strategies in the immediate aftermath of the July 2016 NATO Warsaw Summit. Collective defence and deterrence came back on the agenda at the 2014 Wales Summit following the Russian annexation of Crimea, and was in many respects a game changer for NATO. The Warsaw Summit was a follow-up and operationalization of the Wales Summit, as well as adding further initiatives to the agenda. But is NATO delivering? This book provides a thorough assessment of the on-going debates and discussions taking place within and outside of NATO in Europe and North America. In its return to deterrence, NATO is confronted with challenges relating to strategic thinking, capability development, and the role of nuclear weapons. It has also raised questions about the future prospects for NATO membership for countries such as Sweden and Finland, with broader implications for the security situation in the Baltic region. Central to all this is of course NATO’s relationship with Russia and questions of a new security dilemma, in turning bringing to the fore the challenge of maintaining an appropriate balance between deterrence and dialogue. The chapters in this volume address these questions and provide a much-needed analysis of the results of the NATO Warsaw Summit. This book will be of interest to policymakers and students of NATO, international security, European Politics, security studies and IR in general.
NATO and Peace Support Operations, 1991-1999: Policies and Doctrines (Cass Series on Peacekeeping)
by Henning FrantzenThis new book addresses the key question of how NATO and three of its member states are configuring their policies and military doctrines in order to handle the new strategic environment. This environment is increasingly dominated by 'new wars', more precisely civil wars within states, and peacekeeping as the strategy devised by outside actors for dealing with them. The book seeks to explain how this new strategic environment has been interpreted and how the new conflicts and peacekeeping have been fitted into 'defence' and 'war' - key concepts in the field of security studies.
