Book Description
La vérité derrière " le jour le plus long ". Le ciel est plombé et la houle en Manche devient de plus en plus violente. Les bunkers du major Pluskat suintent l'humidité. Le maréchal Rommel a quitté son quartier général pour célébrer l'anniversaire de sa femme. Les Allemands sont convaincus que les Alliés ne débarqueront pas... Ces scènes, entretenues par les multiples diffusions du Jour le plus long, sont connues de tous. Mais qu'en a-t-il été exactement du débarquement du 6 juin 1944 ? Car le film, tout comme le livre dont il est l'adaptation, est nourri de nombreuses entorses à la réalité. Le projet de l'ouvrage est de rétablir les faits dans leur exactitude. La bataille de Normandie a-t-elle été décisive dans la victoire alliée ? Le mur de l'Atlantique était-il de papier ? L'armée allemande était-elle supérieure ? Le IIIe Reich a-t-il failli rejeter les Alliés à la mer ? L'Américain Eisenhower a-t-il été un bon chef de guerre ? L'action de la Résistance française a-t-elle été décisive ? C'est à toutes ces questions, et bien d'autres encore, que répond cet ouvrage, nourri aux meilleures sources dans le style limpide et percutant inhérent à la collection " Vérités et légendes ".

World War II: Infographics
Author: Jean Lopez
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780500296462
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The mass of available data about World War II has never been as large as it is now, yet it has become increasingly complicated to interpret it in a meaningful way. Packed with cleverly designed graphics, charts and diagrams, World War II: Infographics offers a new approach by telling the story of the conflict visually. Encompassing the conflict from its roots to its aftermath, more than 50 themes are treated in great detail, ranging from the rise of the Far Right in pre-war Europe and mass mobilization, to evolving military tactics and technology and the financial and human cost of the conflict. Throughout, the shifting balance of power between the Axis and the Allies and the global nature of the war and its devastation are made strikingly clear.

History of Syphilis
Author: Claude Quétel
Publisher: Polity
ISBN: 9780745610306
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
The book presents the first comprehensive history of the origin of syphilis, from its appearance in Europe at the end of the fifteenth century to the present day. Quetel examines the origins and treatments of syphilis over the centuries, focusing on the controls over sexual behaviour which were justified by the need to curb the spread of the disease. The author also investigates the cultural dimensions of the problem: for instance, the images of syphilis presented in wartime propaganda and the literary connotations associated with the idea of the syphilitic genius. Quetel discusses historical accounts of the spread of syphilis and draws parallels with the current medical and social campaigns against AIDS.

Heritage Regimes and the State
Author: Bendix, Regina
Publisher: Universitätsverlag Göttingen
ISBN: 3863951220
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
What happens when UNESCO heritage conventions are ratified by a state? How do UNESCO’s global efforts interact with preexisting local, regional and state efforts to conserve or promote culture? What new institutions emerge to address the mandate? The contributors to this volume focus on the work of translation and interpretation that ensues once heritage conventions are ratified and implemented. With seventeen case studies from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and China, the volume provides comparative evidence for the divergent heritage regimes generated in states that differ in history and political organization. The cases illustrate how UNESCO’s aspiration to honor and celebrate cultural diversity diversifies itself. The very effort to adopt a global heritage regime forces myriad adaptations to particular state and interstate modalities of building and managing heritage.
