Book excerpt: Two German familiesone corrupt and Aryan, while the other honorable and Jewishform an unlikely and convoluted relationship spanning three generations. Then in June of 1944 comes the inevitable final reckoning. In the waning days of Nazi Germany, two larcenous conspiracies collide tragically in a forgotten backwater of war-ravaged Germany, both plans sabotaged by their lone common participant. Four people die, and four others simply disappear without a trace, though clearly not together. Also missing is a fortune in Nazi gold and artwork. The obscure incident generates a cryptic memo, which finds its way into the highest echelons of the Third Reich. Then the Reich falls, the incident, the treasure, and the memo all disappearing into history. In July 1970, a quarter-century later, the memo resurfaces. And the killings begin again. Drawn unsuspecting into the carnage, the descendants know only that they must unravel the puzzle before one of them becomes the next victim. But the trail is cold and the search frustrating, each new revelation taking them further back in history and deeper into the bizarre world of the Third Reich. And looming before them is the danger zone, a fanatic cabal of SS survivors determined to find the answers first.

Book excerpt: In an attempt to discover some of the underlying origins of World War I, the eminent diplomat and writer George Kennan focuses on a small sector of offstage events to show how they affected the drama at large long before the war even began. In the introduction to his book George Kennan tells us, "I came to see World War I . . . as the great seminal catastrophe of this century--the event which . . . lay at the heart of the failure and decline of this Western civilization." But, he asks, who could help being struck by the contrast between this apocalyptic result and the "delirious euphoria" of the crowds on the streets of Europe at the outbreak of war in 1914! "Were we not," he suggests, "in the face of some monstrous miscalculation--some pervasive failure to read correctly the outward indicators of one's own situation?" It is from this perspective that Mr. Kennan launches a "micro-history" of the Franco-Russian relationship as far back as the 1870s in an effort to determine the motives that led people "to wander so blindly" into the horrors of the First World War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1968, this was the first time that a comprehensive selection of documents on Germany in the Age of Bismarck had been made available to students and other readers in the English language. The documents were chosen to illuminate not only Bismarck’s own personality and policies but also the nature of the problems he faced and the reactions of his contemporaries. The substantial introduction serves as a general background and guide to the documents, which are in the form of letters, essays, polemics, speeches, and memoirs, produced in the period itself. They allow the student to obtain a genuine first-hand insight into the workings of minds and institutions in Germany during three of the most eventful decades of her history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in English in 1986, these volumes are far more than the story of the life of a powerful statesman. The name Bismarck sums up the entire political, social, economic and intellectual development of central Europe in the second half of the 19th Century and the internal and external shape that Germany then assumed. These books analyse how much of this was Bismarck’s personal achievement or whether he was the man who put the nation on the disastrously wrong course that reached its fateful culmination in 1933? They examine whether Bismarck’s success was precisely because he implemented policies for which the time was ripe and did so in ways that were in harmony with the historical evolution of central Europe.

This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is known that the plan to elect a Prussian prince to the Spanish throne was the proximate, and Bismarck’s “Ems telegram” an immediate cause of the war of 1870. But much has remained obscure about the roles of the principal figures. Lawrence Steefel fills in the lacunae with secret German documents available only after World War II, including the correspondence between Bismarck and Marshal Prim of Spain. It becomes clear that Bismarck did not initiate the Hohenzollern candidacy and that one of his most important reasons for adopting it was his fear of an anti-Prussian coalition of Catholic powers.
