The Death of Glory: The Western Front, 1915 by Robin Neillands
The First World War remains a controversial subject: the bitter reality is often clouded with popular - and damaging - myths.
Many of these misconceptions relate to the competence of the generals and the true outcomes and achievements of battles - particularly the battles fought during 1915.
The reality of these battles has increasingly been distorted by the allegation that the men were ‘lions led by donkeys’, with much of the blame put on the relevant commanders.
A superb work of both narrative - and argumentative - history.
Robin Neillands is the author of several acclaimed works on the First World War including ‘The Great War Generals on the Western Front’, ‘Attrition: The Great War on the Western Front, 1916’ and ‘The Old Contemptibles’.
Citadel: The Battle of Kursk by Robin Cross
It was the greatest armoured clash in the history of the world - and the decisive battle of World War II. Two vast armies engaged one another on land and in the air, in a conflict that included the most costly single day of aerial warfare of all time.
This was the battle of Kursk - a battle so terrible that even Hitler confessed it made his ‘stomach turn over’.
Citadel was the last great German offensive on the Eastern Front; its aim was to claw back the initiative after the surrender of the Sixth Army at Stalingrad in January 1943.
Robin Cross is a distinguished journalist and military historian whose books include VE Day: Victory in Europe, The Bombers: Strategy and Tactics and The US Marine Corps.
The Wolf's Lair: Inside Hitler's Germany by Roger Moorhouse
What happened inside the infamous 'Wolf's Lair', one of Hitler's headquarters?
Who was the Nazi serial killer?
And who was the man who 'started' World War Two?
These are just some of the questions explored in Roger Moorhouse's collection of essays 'The Wolf's Lair: Inside Hitler's Germany'.
In one essay Moorhouse wrestles with the question of how much Berliners knew about the ongoing Holocaust. In another, he investigates the fascinating story of ‘Germania’; the planned rebuilding of Berlin, asking what the plan tells us about Nazi Germany.
Roger Moorhouse is a best-selling historian. A specialist in modern German, he is author of “Killing Hitler” (2006), an account of the many plots on Hitler’s life, and of the critically acclaimed “Berlin at War” (2010), which used first-hand accounts to illuminate the little-told story of the civilian experience of wartime Berlin. He has also been a regular contributor to both the ‘BBC History Magazine’ and ‘History Today’ for over a decade.
