    London and its People

    London and its People

    Forse hardback met nette stofomslag in goede staat. Geillusteerd, waaronder 16 platen. Engelstalig. Kopsnede licht vlekkerig, verder netjes.

    London, one of the world's great cultural, political and financial centres, was founded by the Romans nearly 2000 years ago as one of their remoter outposts. It became the heart of an empire much larger than the Romans could ever have envisaged and ironically its location at what was, in effect, the edge of Europe perversely worked in its favour. Free from the squabbles and conflicts that raged on the continent, London developed its specialities, took advantage of its seafaring skills, exploited the riches of the kingdom's possessions overseas, and became wealthy and adventurous.

    Hitler, A Short Biography

    Hitler, A Short Biography

    Nagenoeg als nieuw. Hardback met stofomslag in zeer goede staat. 1e druk. Engelstalig.

    In 1923, a thirty-four year old Adolf Hitler was in prison after taking part in an unsuccessful putsch to overthrow the German government. Within a decade, he was the most powerful man in Europe. As Germany's leader, Hitler delivered full employment and what appeared to be a booming economy to the nation -- while Britain was suffering punishing levels of unemployment with no real welfare benefits. His popularity seemed to know no bounds; the slow deprivation of civil freedoms and rights to Jews did not initially displease all Germans, and the full extent of Nazi anti-Semitic extermination plans were incredible to many even within their own movement -- let alone to the outside world -- when they began to be put into operation during the early 1940s. Internationally, too, Hitler's triumphs were extraordinary, and soon the Rhineland, Sudetenland and Austria fell to the German army, who suffered barely a casualty. By 1940, there was no doubt that Hitler was Europe's master. But there was another story -- and in this utterly compelling short biography, acclaimed writer A.N. Wilson positions Hitler as a man who not only embodied the excesses of the Third Reich but one who also represented the mediocrity of what optimists called 'the Century of the Common Man'. For all the limitations of his personal accomplishments -- as the child of a poverty stricken family, with no great educational, military or moral qualifications for leadership -- Hitler was able, by remarkable energy, superbly choreographed rallies and electrifying rhetoric, to become a second Napoleon. In a field populated with lengthy tomes, Wilson's brief, insightful portrait offers a compelling introduction to a man who continues to fascinate and appal.
