La Primera Guerra Mundial book pdf download By Martin Gilbert

La Primera Guerra Mundial. La primera guerra mundial fue el primer conflicto europeo del siglo XX. Dos grupos de estados poderosos se agredieron mutuamente con todos los medios que les brindaba la ciencia militar, incluido el gas tóxico. Cuando finalizó, habían muerto nueve millones de soldados y cuatro imperios habían quedado destruidos. El espléndido relato de Martin Gilbert refleja, semana a semana, los sucesos y los horrores en el frente occidental y oriental, tanto de la lucha en el mar como en el aire, así como sus efectos lejos de las trincheras. Los primeros combates, los desembarcos en Gallípoli, la agitación en el este, las batallas del Somme o de Passchendaele, la última gran arremetida alemana o el contraataque aliado, entre otros destacados momentos, se narran con una minuciosidad sin precedentes. Pero no sólo los detalles de la estrategia militar, sino también los aspectos más humanos y conmovedores, que no escapan a su análisis: el valor, la devoción y la resistencia de los soldados; los odios raciales, las ambiciones desmedidas, los resentimientos albergados durante mucho tiempo

The Day the War Ended May 8, 1945 Victory in Europe book pdf download By Martin Gilbert

May 8, 1945, 23:30 hours: With war still raging in the Pacific, peace comes at last to Europe as the German High Command in Berlin signs the final instrument of surrender. After five years and eight months, the war in Europe is officially over. This is the story of that single day and of the days leading up to it. Hour by hour, place by place, this masterly history recounts the final spasms of a continent in turmoil. Here are the stories of combat soldiers and ordinary civilians, collaborators and resistance fighters, statesmen and war criminals, all recounted in vivid, dramatic detail. But this is more than a moment-by-moment account, for Sir Martin Gilbert uses every event as a point of departure, linking each to its long-term consequences over the following half century. In our attempts to understand the world we inherited in 1945, there is no better starting point than The Day the War Ended.

Churchill and the Jews : a lifelong friendship book pdf download By Martin Gilbert

An insightful history of Churchill’s lifelong commitment–both public and private–to the Jews and Zionism, and of his outspoken opposition to anti-Semitism Winston Churchill was a young man in 1894 when Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was convicted of treason and sent to Devil’s Island. Despite the prevailing anti-Semitism in England as well as on the Continent, Churchill’s position was clear: he supported Dreyfus, and condemned the prejudices that had led to his conviction. Churchill’s commitment to Jewish rights, to Zionism–and ultimately to the State of Israel–never wavered. In 1922, he established on the bedrock of international law the right of Jews to emigrate to Palestine. During his meeting with David Ben-Gurion in 1960, Churchill presented the Israeli prime minister with an article he had written about Moses, praising the father of the Jewish people. Drawing on a wide range of archives and private papers, speeches, newspaper coverage, and wartime correspondence, Churchill’s official biographer, Sir Martin Gilbert, explores the origins, implications, and results of Churchill’s determined commitment to Jewish rights, opening a window on an underappreciated and heroic aspect of the brilliant politician’s life and career.

Auschwitz and the Allies: How the Allies Responded to the News of Hitler’s Final Solution book pdf download By Martin Gilbert

Why did they wait so long? Among the myriad questions of what the Allies could have done differently in World War II, understanding why it took them so long to respond to the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps—specifically Auschwitz—remains vital today. In Auschwitz and the Allies, Martin Gilbert presents a comprehensive look into the series of decisions that helped shape this particular course of the war, and the fate of millions of people, through his eminent blend of exhaustive devotion to the facts and accessible, graceful writing. Featuring 20 maps prepared specifically for this history and 34 photographs, along with firsthand accounts by escaped Auschwitz prisoners, Gilbert reconstructs the span of time between Allied awareness and definitive action in the face of overwhelming evidence of Nazi atrocities. About the Author SIR MARTIN GILBERT was born in England in 1936. He was a graduate of Oxford University, from which he held a Doctorate of Letters, and was an Honorary Fellow of Merton College, Oxford. In 1962 he began work as one of Randolph Churchill’s research assistants, and in 1968, after Randolph Churchill’s death, he became the official biographer of Winston Churchill. He published six volumes of the Churchill biography, and edited twelve volumes of Churchill documents. During forty-eight years of research and writing, Sir Martin published eighty books, including The First World War, The Second World War, and a three-volume History of the Twentieth Century. He also wrote, as part of his series of ten historical atlases, Atlas of the First World War, and, most recently, Atlas of the Second World War. Sir Martin’s film and television work included a documentary series on the life of Winston Churchill. His other published works include Churchill: A Photographic Portrait, In Search of Churchill, Churchill and America, and the single volume Churchill, A Life.

The Righteous: The Unsung Heroes of the Holocaust book pdf download By Martin Gilbert

The Unsung Heroes of the Holocaust Drawing from twenty-five years of original research, Sir Martin Gilbert re-creates the remarkable stories of non-Jews who risked their lives to help Jews during the Holocaust According to Jewish tradition, “Whoever saves one life, it is as if he saved the entire world.” Non-Jews who helped save Jewish lives during World War II are designated Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, the Holocaust archive in Jerusalem. In The Righteous, distinguished historian Sir Martin Gilbert, through extensive interviews, explores the courage of those who-throughout Germany and in every occupied country from Norway to Greece, from the Atlantic to the Baltic-took incredible risks to help Jews whose fate would have been sealed without them. Indeed, many lost their lives for their efforts. Those who hid Jews included priests, nurses, teachers, neighbors and friends, employees and colleagues, soldiers and diplomats, and, above all, ordinary citizens. From Greek Orthodox Princess Alice of Greece, who hid Jews in her home in Athens, to the Ukrainian Uniate Archbishop of Lvov, who hid hundreds of Jews in his churches and monasteries, to Muslims in Bosnia and Albania, many risked, and lost, everything to help their fellow man.

A primeira guerra mundial: Os 1.590 dias que transformaram o mundo book pdf download By Martin Gilbert

Em A Primeira Guerra Mundial, o historiador Martin Gilbert se debruça sobre o conflito que mudou o mundo, matou milhões de pessoas, destruiu quatro grandes impérios e alterou definitivamente o panorama geopolítico da Europa e do Oriente Médio. Mais do que isso, legou à humanidade novas tecnologias de morte – tanques, aviões, submarinos, metralhadoras, artilharia de campo, gás venenoso, armas químicas. Era a guerra para acabar com todas as guerras. Começou às onze e quinze da manhã, em 28 de junho de 1914, em Sarajevo, e se encerraria oficialmente quase cinco anos depois. Até hoje, no entanto, vivemos muitos dos horrores que ali nasceram: a Primeira Guerra Mundial nunca terminou. Entre 1914 e 1918, se desenrolaram duas guerras muito diferentes. Em consequência de ocupações, bombardeios, fome e doenças, mais de nove milhões de militares e cinco milhões de civis foram mortos. Porém, paralelamente ao conflito em que o sofrimento individual e a angústia atingiram uma escala gigantesca, em particular nas trincheiras da linha de frente, houve o embate de gabinetes, soberanos, propagandistas e idealistas que, repletos de ambições e ideais políticos e territoriais, determinaram o futuro e impérios, nações e povos de modo tão contundente quanto no campo de batalha. Tudo passou por uma enorme transformação: os códigos de comportamento, a literatura, as distinções de classe. Nas palavras do autor, “a guerra alterou o mapa e o destino da Europa da mesma forma que cauterizou sua pele e deixou marcas na sua alma.” Gilbert constrói uma narrativa ao mesmo tempo épica e acessível para apresentar a Primeira Guerra Mundial a partir da perspectiva humana e do cidadão comum, sem deixar de detalhar seu efeito em futuros líderes como Hitler, Churchill e De Gaulle. Repleto de mapas e fotos da época é um complemento à altura de seu monumental A Segunda Guerra Mundial.
