Churchill and De Gaulle
This account of the relationship between two leaders captures the personalities behind the policies, tracing both their mutual respect and continual quarrels.
Kersten's Lists
Oskar Schindler is well known for having saved a thousand Jews from Nazi extermination during World War II. Yet Felix Kersten, Heinrich Himmler's personal physician, remains almost unknown to this day. Only Kersten was able to relieve the Reichsführer of his crippling and chronic abdominal pains. Though despising the Nazis, he continued to work for Himmler throughout the war, using his position to pass intelligence to Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands, and demanding as payment from Himmler the liberation of victims sentenced to imprisonment or death. Drawing on unseen archive material from Germany, Sweden, The Netherlands and Israel, François Kersaudy guides us in the footsteps of a man who exploited the politics of hatred and fear within the Third Reich to save the lives of over a hundred thousand people, including sixty thousand Jews.
Norway 1940
En forholdsvis nyforsket redegørelse for det, som det, som anmelderne benævner den ødelæggende og inkompetente allierede kampagne, som franske og engelske styrker, støttet af nordmændene udførte til Norges forsvar i 1940. Der er fokus på politiske og militære fejl i kampagnen og dennes konsekvenser.

Paris '44
During the fall of 1944, once the Western Allies had gained military advantage over the Nazis, the crown jewel of Allied strategy became the liberation of Paristhe capital of France so long held in captivity. This event, however, was steeped in more complexity when the Allies returned than in 1940 when Hitlers legions first marched in. In 1944 the city was beset by cross-currents about who was to reclaim it. Was it to be the French Resistance, largely ephemeral throughout the war and largely Communist? Or was it to be the long-suffering Parisians themselves, many of them meantime collaborators? Or the Anglo-American armies which had indeed won the victory? Then there were the Free French...
The Last Great Frenchman
This authoritative biography of General De Gaulle presents the essential facts of his life whilst introducing material of a more personal nature.
Winston Churchill
"La vie de Winston Churchill, homme d’État et homme de guerre exceptionnel, est un roman ; elle est ici racontée comme tel, sans un mot de fiction. Se fondant sur des recherches dans les archives de huit pays, la consultation de quelque quatre cents ouvrages et l’interview de nombreux acteurs e témoins, ce récit épique mené brillamment par François Kersaudy montre comment un homme solitaire, longuement façonné par d’exceptionnels talents et de singulières faiblesses, a pu infléchir le cours de notre siècle."
Normandy
The Allied landings on the coast of "Normandy" have assumed legendary status. But overly romanticizing D-day, Wieviorka argues, losses sight of the full picture. "Normandy" offers a balanced, complete account that reveals the successes and weaknesses of the titanic enterprise.
Hitler’s Imperfect Victories
A comprehensive analysis of Hitler’s role as the supreme military leader of the Third Reich across all the major campaigns. There have been many books on Adolf Hitler and specific military campaigns and battles during the time of the Third Reich. However, there has never been a comprehensive analysis of Hitler’s role as the supreme military leader of the Third Reich across all the major campaigns. He combined every senior position in government and the armed forces until he was at the same time Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Chancellor, Minister of War and Commander-in-Chief of the Army. He was involved in every aspect of the German war effort including new weapons development. H...
