The Plots Against Hitler
A new and definitive account of the anti-Nazi underground in Germany and its numerous efforts to assassinate Adolf Hitler In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. A year later, all parties but the Nazis had been outlawed, freedom of the press was but a memory, and Hitler's dominance seemed complete. Yet over the next few years, an unlikely clutch of conspirators emerged - soldiers, schoolteachers, politicians, diplomats, theologians, even a carpenter - who would try repeatedly to end the Fuhrer's genocidal reign. This dramatic and deeply researched book tells the full story of those noble, ingenious, and doomed efforts. This is history at its most suspenseful, as we witness secret...

Wij wilden Hitler vermoorden
De laatste overlevende van het fameuze julicomplot tegen Hitler, Operatie Walküre, vertelt voor het eerst hoe hij en andere jonge aristocraten in het Duitse leger in 1944 probeerden het naziregime omver te werpen. 18 juli 1944. Terwijl het Duitse leger zich na ineenstorting van het Oostfront haastig en chaotisch terugtrekt uit Rusland, krijgt de 27-jarige cavalerieofficier Philipp von Boeselager orders een vliegveld in Polen te bereiken en luchttransport naar Berlijn te vinden. Het operationele doel - uitsluitend bekend bij Von Boeselager - is om te helpen de sleutelposities binnen de hoofdstad in te nemen zodra het nieuws bekend wordt dat Hitler is vermoord door kolonel von Stauffenberg. M...

Valkyrie
When the Second World War broke out, Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager, then 25-years-old, fought enthusiastically for Germany as a cavalry officer. But after discovering Nazi crimes, von Boeselager’s patriotism quickly turned to disgust, and he joined a group of conspirators who plotted to kill Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler. In this elegant but unflinching memoir, von Boeselager gives voice to the spirit of the small but determined band of men who took a stand against the Third Reich in what culminating in the failed “Valkyrie” plot—one of the most fascinating near misses of twentieth-century history.
Disobeying Hitler
On July 20, 1944, Colonel Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg was executed in the courtyard of the Third Reich's military headquarters in Berlin for attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler. A member of the unsuccessful plot to overthrow the Nazi government -- codenamed Operation Valkyrie -- Stauffenberg was shot by a firing squad along with his co-conspirators, and their bodies were dumped in a shallow grave. Most discussions of German resistance during World War II end here, with the failed July 20 plot and the subsequent execution of its leaders. And yet this was far from the last act of disobedience carried out against the Nazi regime, as Randall Hansen reveals in his fascinating new book. ...

Images and Identity in Fifteenth-century Florence
An exploration of ways of looking in Renaissance Florence, where works of art were part of a complex process of social exchange Renaissance Florence, of endless fascination for the beauty of its art and architecture, is no less intriguing for its dynamic political, economic, and social life. In this book Patricia Lee Rubin crosses the boundaries of all these areas to arrive at an original and comprehensive view of the place of images in Florentine society. The author asks an array of questions: Why were works of art made? Who were the artists who made them, and who commissioned them? How did they look, and how were they looked at? She demonstrates that the answers to such questions illuminat...
Louis XV
La 4e de couverture indique : ""Prince fornicateur, adultère, incestueux, sacrilège, voleur public, ivrogne, fainéant, idiot, excommunié, n'ayant point fait ses Pâques depuis près de vingt-huit ans et digne de toute la colère de Dieu." A cette condamnation sans appel par un contemporain, répond cette réhabilitation tranquille et non moins excessive par un historien du siècle dernier : "Louis XV était un saint". Ces jugements des plus contradictoires puisent à la même source : avec Louis XV, l'image du roi a subi une césure définitive entre vie publique et vie privée. Considérée comme une évidence, cette césure a rendu possible une réputation d'immoralité et de débauche...
