Nazi Wives

Descripción del libro

Nazi Wives is a fascinating look at the personal lives, psychological profiles, and marriages of the wives of officers in Hitler's inner circle. Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, Heydrich, Hess, Bormann—names synonymous with power and influence in the Third Reich. Perhaps less familiar are Carin, Emmy, Magda, Margaret, Lina, Ilse and Gerda... These are the women behind the infamous men—complex individuals with distinctive personalities who were captivated by Hitler and whose everyday lives were governed by Nazi ideology. Throughout the rise and fall of Nazism these women loved and lost, raised families and quarreled with their husbands and each other, all the while jostling for position with the Fuhrer himself. Until now, they have been treated as minor characters, their significance ignored, as if they were unaware of their husbands' murderous acts, despite the evidence that was all around them: the stolen art on their walls, the slave labor in their homes, and the produce grown in concentration camps on their tables. James Wyllie's Nazi Wives explores these women in detail for the first time, skillfully interweaving their stories through years of struggle, power, decline and destruction into the post-war twilight of denial and delusion.

Guerra Civil

La guerra civil española fue, sin lugar a duda, un conflicto endógeno, pero internacionalizado debido a las ayudas que proporcionaron diversas potencias extranjeras a uno y otro bando. Esta obra versa sobre el ascenso de Francisco Franco y Adolf Hitler a la jefatura de sus respectivos Estados, teniendo como eje central la ayuda militar, logística y financiera que proporcionó el dictador alemán al bando franquista durante la Guerra Civil y los motivos que le indujeron a ello, además de sus efectos, en base a algunos de los más célebres estudios que se han publicado sobre el conflicto.

Un siglo de guerras

Es una concisa y apasionante evocación de los acontecimientos bélicos que han incendiado al mundo a lo largo del siglo veinte y a principios del siglo veintiuno, pero es también un análisis del camino recorrido y del que le queda por recorrer a toda la humanidad, una raza que con demasiada frecuencia ha creado desiertos y los ha llamado "Paz". Este libro es un formidable testimonio de los errores sin fin que se han cometido en más de un siglo de guerras; y es, al mismo tiempo, una admonición en pro de la comprensión recíproca. Son páginas intensas, armadas con imágenes captadas en...

El Escorial

El Escorial is more than a monument to the zeal of Spain’s Catholicism; it is also a symbol of Spain at its imperial apogee. This imposing, granite edifice was built by King Philip II to celebrate Spain’s victory over the French at Saint-Quentin on August 10, 1557. Paid for with New-World gold, this sprawling monastery-palace is laid out in a vast grid of corridors and courtyards. At its heart is the austere Doric basilica of San Lorenzo el Real - beneath which are the remains of eleven Spanish kings, including Philip. The story of this fascinating, enduring symbol of Spain’s monarchy...
