A Global History
The mud-filled, blood-soaked trenches of the Low Countries and North-Eastern Europe were essential battlegrounds during the First World War, but the war reached many other corners of the globe, and events elsewhere significantly affected its course. Covering the twelve months of 1916, eminent historian Keith Jeffery uses twelve moments from a range of locations and shows how they reverberated around the world. As well as discussing better-known battles such as Gallipoli, Verdun and the Somme, Jeffery examines Dublin, for the Easter Rising, East Africa, the Italian front, Central Asia and Russia, where the killing of Rasputin exposed the internal political weakness of the country’s empire. And, in charting a wide range of wartime experience, he studies the ‘intelligence war’, naval engagements at Jutland and elsewhere, as well as the political consequences that ensued from the momentous United States presidential election. Using an extraordinary range of military, social and cultural sources, and relating the individual experiences on the ground to wider developments, these are the stories lost to history, the conflicts that spread beyond the sphere of Europe and the moments that transformed the war.

And The Weak Suffer What They Must?
The crisis in Europe is not over, it’s getting worse. In this dramatic narrative of Europe’s economic rise and spectacular fall, Yanis Varoufakis, former finance minister of Greece, ‘the emerging rock star of Europe’s anti-austerity uprising’ (Telegraph), shows that the origins of the collapse go far deeper than our leaders are prepared to admit – and that we have done nothing so far to fix them. In 2008, the universe of Western finance outgrew planet Earth. When Wall Street imploded, a death embrace between insolvent banks and bankrupt states consumed Europe. Half a dozen national economies imploded and several more came close. But the storm is far from over… From the aftermath of the Second World War to the present, Varoufakis recounts how the eurozone emerged not as route to shared prosperity but as a pyramid scheme of debt with countries such as Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain at its bottom. Its woeful design ensured that collapse would be inevitable and catastrophic. But since the hurricane landed Europe’s leaders have chosen a cocktail of more debt and harsh austerity rather than reform, ensuring that the weakest citizens of the weakest nations pay the price for the bankers’ mistakes, while doing nothing to prevent the next collapse. Instead, the principle of the greatest austerity for those suffering the greatest recessions has led to a resurgence of racist extremism. Once more, Europe is a potent threat to global stability. Drawing on the personal experience of his own negotiations with the eurozone’s financiers and offering concrete policies and alternatives, Varoufakis shows how we concocted this mess and how we can get out of it. And The Weak Suffer What They Must? reminds us of our history in order to save European capitalism from itself.

Πρόκειται για την αγγλική έκδοση, του βιβλίου του συγγραφέα Χάρη Τσιρκινίδη, που κυκλοφορεί στην ελληνική με τίτλο: Επιτέλους τους ξεριζώσαμε…(Η γενοκτονία των Ελλήνων του Πόντου, Θράκης και Μικράς Ασίας , μέσα από τα γαλλικά αρχεία). Ο φιλόλογος, συγγραφέας και κριτικός βιβλίου, Σαράντος Καργάκος, κριτικάροντας την ελληνική έκδοση του παραπάνω βιβλίου γράφει μεταξύ άλλων: Αυτά που δε λένε ούτε σήμερα τα σχολικά βιβλία μας, αυτά που δεν έγραψαν τα δημοσιογραφικά όργανα της εποχής λόγω διατεταγμένης σιωπής, λένε με ανατριχιαστική ειλικρίνεια οι εκθέσεις διπλωματών και στρατιωτικών, παρά το φιλοτουρκισμό τους… Το βιβλίο μεταφράστηκε με σκοπό να ενημερωθεί η διεθνής κοινή γνώμη, σχετικά με τη μεγαλύτερη και συγκλονιστικότερη τραγωδία του 20ου αιώνα: Τη γενοκτονία των Ελλήνων της Ανατολής, που διαπράχθηκε από τους Νεότουρκους και τους Κεμαλικούς, από το 1914 έως το 1923. Είναι ένα βιβλίο φρόνησης και προβληματισμού , ιδιαίτερα στο τέλος του αιώνα μας, που δυστυχώς κλείνει με παρόμοιους τρόπους σαν αυτούς που άρχισε: βία, πόλεμοι, θηρωδίες, γενοκτονίες. Θα ήταν εκπλήρωση χρέους και απόδοση φόρου τιμής, στους προγόνους μας, θύματα πρωτοφανούς βαρβαρότητας, που άφησαν εκεί τα κόκαλά τους, αν φροντίζαμε να διαδώσουμε το βιβλίο αυτό, μ όποιο τρόπο ο καθένας μπορεί, σ όλο τον κόσμο, συμβάλλωντας στην ενημέρωση της κοινής γνώμης στο εξωτερικό και προειδοποιώντας, τους όποιους ισχυρούς της γης, πως τα εγκλήματα γενοκτονίας δε λησμονούνται, γράφονται και δεν παραγράφονται. “… Ο διωγμός των Ελλήνων υπήρξε ένα μακροχρόνιο μαρτύριο. Ακόμη και τώρα βρίσκεται σ εξέλιξη. Οι μέθοδοι που εφαρμόστηκαν ήταν ίδιες μ αυτές κατά των Αρμενίων. Μόνη διαφορά είναι ότι επεκτάθηκαν σε μεγαλύτερο χρόνο”. Rene Puaux 1919 “… Η λέξη γκιαούρης (guiaour) ουδέποτε προφερόταν με τόση περιφρόνηση, όπως στις μέρες μας. Το τρομερό αυτό μίσος, τόσο απάνθρωπο, σ’ όλες τους τις εκδηλώσεις, μετατρέπεται σ’ ερυθρά αιμοσφαίρια στις αρτηρίες όλων εκείνων, οι οποίοι, όπως ο Λαζός TOPAL OSMAN, δεν ήταν ευτυχείς παρά μόνον όταν έβλεπαν να κυλά αίμα ενός “γκιαούρη” και το οποίο μίσος μεταδίδεται σχεδόν σ όλες μας τις τάξεις, από την Αστυνομική Διεύθυνση Κωνσταντινούπολης έως το Νοσοκομείο του Gumuch-Souyou…” Izzet Fouad Pacha, Τούρκος στρατηγός 23 Μαϊου 1923

Auschwitz: The Practice of Extinction
Here there is no why’, Primo Levi was once told by an SS guard at Auschwitz. The history of Auschwitz-Birkenau is well known; what remains less clear is how the single greatest instance of mass murder in human history should be understood. Drawing on a wide variety of new sources including hitherto unknown documents and testimonies, Nicholas Terry describes and analyses the process of mass murder at Auschwitz. Chronicling the evolution of the practice of extinction, this book shows how contingency and improvisation marked out the genocidal course of the ‘Final Solution’ at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Using the perspectives of both the SS perpetrators as well as the camp inmates forced to participate in the design, construction and operation of the gas chambers and crematoria, the book asks fresh questions about the motivation, meanings and significance of extermination, and the roles of deception and secrecy in making mass murder possible.

Blackwater
January 1983, Colchester CID A new year brings new resolutions for Detective Inspector Nicholas Lowry. With one eye on his approaching fortieth birthday, he has given up his two greatest vices: smoking, and the police boxing team. As a result, the largest remaining threat to his health is now his junior colleague’s reckless driving. If Detective Constable Daniel Brighton’s orange sports convertible is symbolic of his fast track through the ranks, then his accompanying swagger, foppish hairstyle and university education only augment his uniqueness in the department. Yet regardless of this, it is not DC Brighton who is turning station heads. WPC Jane Gabriel is the newest police recruit in Britain’s oldest recorded town. Despite a familial tie to top brass, Gabriel’s striking beauty and profound youth have landed her with two obstacles: a young male colleague who gives her too much attention, and an older one who acts like she’s not there. January 1983, Blackwater Estuary A new year brings a new danger to the Essex shoreline. An illicit shipment, bound for Colchester – 50 kilograms of powder that will frantically accelerate tensions in the historic town, and leave its own murderous trace. Lowry, Brighton and Gabriel must now develop a tolerance to one another, and show their own substance, to save Britain’s oldest settlement from a new, unsettling enemy.

Borderlands Towards an Anthropology of the Cosmopolitan Condition
The images of migrants and refugees arriving in precarious boats on the shores of southern Europe, and of the makeshift camps that have sprung up in Lesbos, Lampedusa, Calais and elsewhere, have become familiar sights on television screens around the world. But what do we know about the border places Ð these liminal zones between countries and continents Ð that have become the focus of so much attention and anxiety today? What do we know about the individuals who fill these places, their hopes and fears, and about the kinds of social relationships that form between the groups of people who confront one another there Ð the migrants and refugees, the local residents, the police and other officials of the state? In this timely book, anthropologist Michel Agier addresses these questions and examines the character of the borderlands that emerge on the margins of nation-states. Drawing on his ethnographic fieldwork, he shows that borders, far from disappearing, have acquired a new kind of centrality in our societies, becoming reference points for the growing numbers of people who do not find a place in the countries they wish to reach. They have become the site for a new kind of subject, the border dweller, who is both ‘inside’ and ‘outside’, enclosed on the one hand and excluded on the other, and who is obliged to learn, under harsh conditions, the ways of the world and of other people. In this respect, the lives of migrants, even in the uncertainties or dangers of the borderlands, tell us something about the condition in which everyone is increasingly living today, a ‘cosmopolitan condition’ in which the experience of the unfamiliar is more common and the relation between self and other is in constant renewal. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and politics, as well as anyone concerned with the pressing issues raised by migration today

Britains Toy Soldiers
This is the first full-colour history of the world-famous toy soldiers to chart the whole story of their development from Victorian table toy to 21st Century collectable. Prior to 1893 the family toy business of the Britain family was struggling as the toy industry was dominated by German manufacturers and importers. Then came the fateful decision first to import, then to design and manufacture, toy soldiers, an area the German firms were particularly strong in. Britains Toy Soldiers were born and soon their boxes stamped with the slogan ‘Best Quality English Make’ were being eagerly opened by little boys across Britain and then around the world. The rest, as they say is history and it is all captured here by James Opie, the world’s leading expert on the subject, as he lovingly traces the varying fortunes of arguably the most famous British toy company. Illustrated with lavish colour photographs, many of them featuring items from the author’s own collection, the book includes feature sections such as collectors’ favourites and prices, high-value and famous sets, artistic highlights, quirks and mysteries.It is without doubt the most authoritative book on the subject and will be welcomed by the thousands of devoted collectors world wide as well as many more with fond memories of childhood battles with these beautiful toys.

Buckley and Mailer
Norman Mailer and William F. Buckley Jr. were towering figures who argued publicly about every major issue of the 1960s: the counterculture, Vietnam, feminism, civil rights, the Cold War. Behind the scenes, the two were close friends and trusted confidantes who lived surprisingly parallel lives. In Buckley and Mailer, Kevin M. Schultz delves into their personal archives to tell the rich story of their friendship, arguments and the tumultuous decade they did so much to shape. He delivers a fresh chronicle of the ’60s and its long aftermath as well as an entertaining work of narrative history that explores these extraordinary figures’ contrasting visions of America and the future.

Cave of silence
Dimitri, a young Greek actor, is enjoying the lucky break of his life- a part in an international production, a romance with his beautiful half-German co-star and shooting on an idyllic Greek island.
His only concern is that he has to part from Anita for a few days to visit a nearby island and scatter his uncle’s ashes, fulfilling the dying wish of a man who had refused to set foot on his birthplace while alive.
Coupled with his mother’s entreaties not to reveal his identity to anyone once there and a family history clouded in secrecy, Dimitri anxiously sets off determined to carry out his uncle’s wishes and return to Anita as soon as possible.
His visit on the island sparks a chain of events that stir up the past and slowly reveal what truly happened to his family there during the Second World War.
In a strange twist of fate the ill-fated love affair of Eleni and Manolis casts its shadow some seventy years on, as Dimitri and Anita are brought face to face with secrets an island has been keeping for far too long.
Told as two parallel, intertwined stories and based on true events, Cave of Silence moves seamlessly between past and present, spinning a tale of love, passion, betrayal and cruelty.Λίγο πριν οι άνεμοι του πολέμου παρασύρουν τον έναν μακριά από τον άλλον, ο Μανόλης και η Ελένη ενώνονται σε έναν έρωτα που τρέφεται από το πάθος της επανένωσής τους, αψηφώντας το κόστος που αυτός θα έχει για τους ίδιους, αλλά και τους δικούς τους ανθρώπους.
Όταν ο Δημήτρης επισκεφθεί το νησί της μητέρας και του θείου του, θα βρεθεί -μέσ’ από μια σειρά αναπάντεχων γεγονότων- αντιμέτωπος με παλιές μνήμες και αλήθειες βαθιά θαμμένες. Την ίδια στιγμή, η Ανίτα θα καταλήξει να κρατά στα χέρια της ένα παλιό ρολόι τσέπης, οι δείκτες του οποίου έχουν σταματήσει για πάντα στη στιγμή που ο έρωτας δύο ανθρώπων πέρασε ανεξίτηλα στην αιωνιότητα. Μαζί με το ρολόι, θα φορέσει στο χέρι της ένα δαχτυλίδι, ανάμνηση του όρκου μιας θυελλώδους αγάπης που έσπασε παντοτινά το φράγμα του χρόνου.
Μια αληθινή ιστορία που δείχνει πόσο ιδιότροπη είναι η μοίρα, πόσο αντέχει μια αγάπη στον χρόνο και πόση ανάγκη έχουμε τον έρωτα και τη συγχώρεση.SKU: 9789606052187
