＜p＞Should Christians w00t or wail about the scope and power of modern entertainment? Maybe both.

Avoiding the one-size-fits-all celebrations and condemnations that characterize the current fad of pop culture analyses, this book engages entertainments case by case, uncovering the imaginative patterns and shaping power of our amusements. Individual chapters weave together analyses of entertainment forms, formats, technologies, trends, contents, and audiences to display entertainment as a multifaceted formational ecology.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

In this the second volume by maritime artist Mal Wright, both the official and unofficial paint schemes that adorned the capital ships of the Royal Navy and Commonwealth are depicted in detail, along with discussions on changes of armament and electronics that effected the outward appearance of each ship.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Hitler's Attack U-Boats The Kriegsmarine's WWII Submarine Strike Force【電子書籍】[ Jak P. Mallmann Showell ]

＜p＞＜strong＞"A definitive introduction by a highly recognized authority who writes beautifully and clearly." ー ＜em＞Naval Historical Foundation＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ The fact that German submarines almost managed to cut off Britain's vital imports during the First World War hadn't been forgotten by Hitlerーand when, in 1935, he repudiated the Treaty of Versailles, Britain, magnanimously, signed an Anglo-German Naval Agreement. This allowed the Germans to build their submarine strength up to one third of the Royal Navy's tonnage.＜br /＞ When war broke out in 1939, German U-boats went quickly into action, but with only four years of production and development, the main armament of these submarines was considerably weaker than equivalent boats in other navies and many other features, such as living conditions, were also significantly inferior. Yet, the German U-boat onslaught against British merchant ships in autumn 1940 was highly successful because the attacks were made on the surface at night and from such close range that a single torpedo would sink a ship.＜br /＞ Soon, though, Allied technology was able to detect U-boats at night, and new convoy techniques, combined with powerfully armed, fast modern aircraft searching the seas, meant that by 1941 it was clear that Germany was losing the war at sea. Something had to be done. The new generation of attack U-boats that had been introduced since Hitler came to power needed urgent improvement. This is the story of the Types II, VII, and IX that had already become the 'workhorse' of the Kriegsmarine's submarine fleet and continued to put out to sea to attack Allied shipping right up to the end of the war. The Type II was a small coastal boat that struggled to reach the Atlantic; the Type VII was perfectly at home there, but lacked the technology to tackle well protected convoys; while the Type IX was a long-range variety modified so it could operate in the Indian Ocean.＜br /＞ This book by the renowned Kriegsmarine historian explores these attack U-boats at length, including details of their armament, capabilities, and crew facilities; the story of their development and operational history; and just what it was like to operate such a vessel.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Battle of Midway America's Decisive Strike in the Pacific in WWII【電子書籍】[ John Grehan ]

＜p＞Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands on 7 December 1941, had severely damaged the United States Pacific Fleet but had not destroyed it, for the fleet’s aircraft carrier force had been at sea when the Japanese struck. This meant that, despite the overwhelming success of Japanese military forces across the Pacific, US carrier-based aircraft could still attack Japanese targets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After the Battle of the Coral Sea in early May 1942, in which both sides had lost one carrier, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, calculated that the US had only two serviceable carriers left. If those remaining carriers could be lured into a battle with the Combined Fleet and destroyed, nothing could stop the Japanese achieving complete control of the South Pacific.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It would take the United States many months, even with its massive industrial muscle, to rebuild its carried fleet if it was destroyed, by which time Japan would be able to secure the raw materials needed to keep its war machine functioning and to build all the bases it required across the Pacific, which would enable its aircraft to dominate the entire region.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Aware of the sensitivity of the Americans towards Hawaii after the Battle of Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto believed that if he attacked there again, the US commander, Admiral Nimitz would be certain to commit all his strength to its defence. Yamamoto selected the furthest point of the Hawaiian Islands, the Naval Air Station on the Midway Atoll, for his attack, which was beyond the range of most US land-based aircraft.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Yamamoto launched his attack on 4 June 1942. But the US had intercepted and deciphered Japanese signals and Nimitz, with three not two aircraft carriers, knew exactly Yamamoto’s plans. Yamamoto had hoped to draw the US carriers into his trap but instead he sailed into an ambush.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The four-day battle resulted in the loss of all four Japanese aircraft carriers, the US losing only one. The Japanese were never able to recover from these losses, and it was the Americans who were able to take control of the Pacific. The Battle of Midway, unquestionably, marked the turning point in the war against Japan.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

タイトル: Princes at War: The Bitter Battle Inside Britain's Royal Family in the Darkest Days of WWII著者: Deborah Cadbury出版社: PublicAffairs出版日: 2016年03月08日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。In 1936, the British monarchy faced the greatest threats to its survival in the modern era -- the crisis of abdication and the menace of Nazism. The fate of the country rested in the hands of George V's sorely unequipped sons: a stammering King George VI, terrified that the world might discover he was unfit to rule a dull-witted Prince Henry, who wanted only a quiet life in the army the too-glamorous Prince George, the Duke of Kent -- a reformed hedonist who found new purpose in the RAF and would become the first royal to die in a mysterious plane crash the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII, deemed a Nazi-sympathizer and traitor to his own country -- a man who had given it all up for love Princes at War is a riveting portrait of these four very different men miscast by fate, one of whom had to save the monarchy at a moment when kings and princes from across Europe were washing up on England's shores as the old order was overturned. Scandal and conspiracy swirled around the palace and its courtiers, among them dangerous cousins from across Europe's royal families, gold-digging American socialite Wallis Simpson, and the King's Lord Steward, upon whose estate Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess parachuted (seemingly by coincidence) as London burned under the Luftwaffe's tireless raids. Deborah Cadbury draws on new research, personal accounts from the royal archives, and other never-before-revealed sources to create a dazzling sequel to The King's Speech and tell the true and thrilling drama of Great Britain at war and of a staggering transformation for its monarchy.当店利用時のご注意・当店の商品は原則として、「個人輸入」としての取り扱いになり、アメリカ合衆国から直接お客様のもとへお届けいたします。商品の配送手続きのために、アメリカ合衆国の事業者へお客様の注文情報が提供されます。注文情報の提供について同意いただいた上でご注文ください。アメリカ合衆国の個人情報保護法制等について確認する場合は、こちらのページ「https://corp.rakuten.co.jp/privacy/data-transfers.html」をご参照ください。・関税・輸入消費税が課税される場合があります。・課税額はご注文時には確定しておらず、通関時に確定しますので、商品の受け取り時に着払いでお支払いください。・個人輸入される商品は、全てご注文者自身の「個人使用・個人消費（日本に居住する者に寄贈される物で、当該寄贈を受ける者の個人的な使用に供される場合を含みます。）」が前提となります。第三者への譲渡・転売が法令で禁止されるもの（医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品等を含みますが、これに限られません。）もございますのでご注意下さい。・商品お届けまでに、10日間程度かかります。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Swedish Connection The Untold WWII Visa Rescue Operation【電子書籍】[ Ashbourne Dominic ]

＜p＞In 1944, as Nazi deportation trains thundered across Europe and Budapest stood on the brink of annihilation, a single piece of paper began to challenge the machinery of genocide.＜br /＞ The Swedish Connection: The Untold WWII Visa Rescue Operation uncovers the astonishing true story of how a neutral nation transformed diplomacy into defianceーand how one man, Raoul Wallenberg, used ink, seals, and sheer audacity to save tens of thousands from certain death.＜br /＞ This is not a battlefield saga. It is a story of bureaucratic resistance.＜br /＞ When Adolf Eichmann arrived in Hungary in March 1944 to oversee the rapid deportation of Jews to Auschwitz, the process was chillingly efficient. Lists were compiled. Trains were scheduled. Lives were reduced to numbers. But in July 1944, Wallenberg entered Budapest armed not with weapons, but with protective passportsーdocuments declaring Jewish men, women, and children under Swedish protection.＜br /＞ These papers were fragile. Their legality was uncertain. Their authority depended on courage.＜br /＞ Yet they worked.＜br /＞ Through dramatic confrontations at railway stations, bold negotiations with Nazi and Arrow Cross officials, and the establishment of Swedish-protected safe houses across the city, the visa became a shield. In a system built on documentation and control, Wallenberg turned paperwork into rebellion.＜br /＞ Often compared to Oskar Schindler, Wallenberg’s method was differentーand in many ways more radical. He did not hide rescue inside industry. He challenged genocide in the open, leveraging neutrality, diplomacy, and international law to disrupt mass murder in real time.＜br /＞ But this story does not end with liberation.＜br /＞ When Soviet forces entered Budapest in January 1945, Wallenberg disappeared into the Soviet prison systemーhis fate still disputed, his final days unresolved. His rescue mission would later influence the development of modern refugee protections, human rights law, and the global understanding of what documentation can mean in times of crisis.＜br /＞ Meticulously researched and grippingly told, The Swedish Connection reveals:＜br /＞ ? How protective passports were createdーand why they held power＜br /＞ ? The hidden diplomatic battles behind the scenes＜br /＞ ? The fragile legal gray zones that saved lives＜br /＞ ? The unresolved mystery of Wallenberg’s disappearance＜br /＞ ? The lasting impact of the visa rescue operation on international humanitarian law＜br /＞ This is a story of courage without gunfire. Of resistance without armies. Of paper that stood against poison gas and firing squads.＜br /＞ In a world where identity papers still determine safety, belonging, and survival, this history feels urgent, unsettling, and profoundly relevant.＜br /＞ If you believe history still holds lessons for the present…＜br /＞ If you want to understand how law can become a weapon for mercy…＜br /＞ If you are drawn to true stories of moral courage in humanity’s darkest hour…＜br /＞ Turn the page.＜br /＞ Discover the visa that defied genocideーand the legacy that refuses to fade.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

タイトル: Longest Winter: The Battle of the Bulge and the Epic Story of WWII's Most Decorated Platoon著者: Alex Kershaw出版社: Da Capo Press出版日: 2004年11月23日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。On a cold morning in December, 1944, deep in the Ardennes forest, a platoon of eighteen men under the command of twenty-year-old lieutenant Lyle Bouck were huddled in their foxholes trying desperately to keep warm. Suddenly, the early morning silence was broken by the roar of a huge artillery bombardment and the dreadful sound of approaching tanks. Hitler had launched his bold and risky offensive against the Allies-his "last gamble"-and the small American platoon was facing the main thrust of the entire German assault. Vastly outnumbered, they repulsed three German assaults in a fierce day-long battle, killing over five hundred German soldiers and defending a strategically vital hill. Only when Bouck's men had run out of ammunition did they surrender to the enemy. As POWs, Bouck's platoon began an ordeal far worse than combat-survive in captivity under trigger-happy German guards, Allied bombing raids, and a daily ration of only thin soup. In German POW camps, hundreds of captured Americans were either killed or died of disease, and most lost all hope. But the men of Bouck's platoon survived-miraculously, all of them. Once again in vivid, dramatic prose, Alex Kershaw brings to life the story of some of America's little-known heroes-the story of America's most decorated small unit, an epic story of courage and survival in World War II, and one of the most inspiring stories in American history.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Women Warriors: The Female Soldiers of WWII Combat Roles, Resistance Networks, and Military Service Across Allied and Axis Forces, 1939-1945【電子書籍】[ Celeste Rowan ]

＜p＞While military histories often focus on male combatants, millions of women served in armed forces, resistance movements, and combat units during World War II. From Soviet sniper regiments and British SOE agents to Polish Home Army fighters and American ferry pilots, women operated machine guns, flew bombers, conducted sabotage, gathered intelligence, and led partisan units across every theater of war. This book examines the diverse military roles women assumed during WWII, drawing on declassified documents, personal testimonies, and archival photographs. It explores how different nations mobilized female personnelーsome into direct combat, others into auxiliary servicesーand traces the institutional barriers, cultural resistance, and propaganda campaigns surrounding women's military participation. Through firsthand accounts and documentary evidence, the narrative reveals how female soldiers navigated gendered expectations while performing the same dangerous work as their male counterparts. The book also addresses the postwar erasure of women's contributions from official military histories and examines how Cold War politics shaped collective memory of female combatants. Readers will encounter Soviet Night Witches conducting bombing raids, French Resistance couriers transporting weapons, Yugoslav partisans commanding brigades, and WASP pilots ferrying fighters across the Atlantic. The book provides historical context for each nation's approach to female military service while highlighting the universal challenges women faced in proving their competence under fire.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Covert Operations: Spies Who Changed History Intelligence Networks, Double Agents, and Clandestine Missions That Shaped WWII Outcomes, 1939-1945【電子書籍】[ Selene Rothwell ]

＜p＞Behind every major military decision of World War II lay invisible networks of spies, code-breakers, and intelligence operatives whose work determined the course of battles, invasions, and negotiations. From the Double Cross System that deceived Hitler about D-Day to the Lucy spy ring feeding Soviet commanders German battle plans, covert operations influenced strategic outcomes as profoundly as any tank division or bomber fleet. This book examines the intelligence operations that altered WWII's trajectory, drawing on declassified files, intercepted communications, and postwar testimonies. It explores how Allied and Axis powers recruited agents, ran double-agent networks, conducted sabotage missions, and exploited captured intelligence. The narrative reveals the human complexities behind espionageーmotivations ranging from ideology to coercion, the psychological toll of betrayal, and the moral ambiguities of wartime intelligence work. Through documentary evidence and operational records, readers encounter figures like Juan Pujol Garc?a (Agent Garbo), whose fabricated spy network convinced Germany that Patton would invade Calais; the Soviet Red Orchestra operating inside the Wehrmacht; OSS operatives parachuting into occupied Europe; and the Bletchley Park analysts whose code-breaking shortened the war. The book examines how intelligence successes and failuresーfrom Operation Mincemeat to the Pearl Harbor intelligence breakdownーdirectly affected military planning and political decisions. Each chapter contextualizes operations within broader strategic frameworks while highlighting the institutional competition, interdepartmental rivalries, and coordination failures that characterized wartime intelligence agencies. The book also addresses the postwar mythology surrounding certain operations and separates documented facts from Cold War embellishments.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This War is the Passion by Caryll Houselander is an evocative exploration of human suffering, redemption, and the spiritual journey through the lens of Christian mysticism. The book intricately weaves personal reflections with the broader narrative of community and collective anguish, against the backdrop of World War IIーa period marked by unprecedented global turmoil. Houselander's literary style is both poetic and profound, drawing readers into a contemplative engagement with the timeless themes of sacrifice, empathy, and the transformative power of divine love. Her narrative eloquently captures the paradoxical beauty found in the midst of despair, emphasizing a path to spiritual awakening and peace through the acceptance of one's own vulnerability. Caryll Houselander, a renowned British Catholic writer and mystic, was deeply influenced by her own experiences during the tumultuous war years. Known for her intense spiritual insights and vivid imagery, Houselander's writing is reflective of her personal pilgrimage towards hope and healing. Her acute perception of human suffering and innate ability to articulate the intersection of the spiritual and corporeal worlds emboldens readers to confront their own existential uncertainties. This War is the Passion is essential reading for those seeking solace and deeper understanding amidst adversity. Houselander's work remains a transformative testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit, urging readers to embrace the divine presence within themselves and others. A timeless classic, it offers profound spiritual insights that resonate with contemporary audiences, making it a compelling addition to any literary collection focusing on faith, philosophy, and the resilience of the soul.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Irena's Gift: An Epic WWII Memoir of Sisters, Secrets, and Survival - Karen Kirsten (Citadel) 【紙書籍】 9780806543659

タイトル: Irena's Gift: An Epic WWII Memoir of Sisters, Secrets, and Survival著者: Karen Kirsten出版社: Citadel出版日: 2024年07月23日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。A National Jewish Book Awards Finalist WINNER, ZIBBY AWARDS FOR BEST FAMILY DRAMA & BEST STORY OF OVERCOMING Weaving mystery, history and memoir, Irena's Gift is the captivating account of one woman's personal quest to uncover the unspoken and give voice to her family's secret war-torn history. From the glittering concert halls of interbellum Warsaw to the vermin-infested prison where an SS officer is convinced to save a Jewish child's life, to the author's upbringing in a Christian home, this is a story of resilience, sacrifice, Jewish identity, intergenerational trauma, and the secrets we keep to protect ourselves and those we love. For readers of When Time Stopped by Ariana Neumann, I Want You to Know We're Still Here by Esther Safran Foer, and House of Glass by Hadley Freeman. "Irena's Gift interrogates the messy complexity of family, both its tenderness and nurture but also its corrosive anger and rejection." --GERALDINE BROOKS, New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner In 1942, in German-occupied Poland, a Jewish baby girl was smuggled out of the Warsaw ghetto in a backpack. That baby, Joasia, knew nothing about this extraordinary event until she was thirty-two, when a letter arrived from a stranger. She also learned that the parents who raised her were actually her aunt and uncle. Joasia kept this knowledge hidden from her own daughter, Karen--until an innocent question unexpectedly revealed the truth. Determined to understand the generational trauma that cloaked her family in silence, her own origins, and to help heal her mother's pain, Karen set out to unearth decades of secrets and piece together a hidden history--from the glittering days of pre-war Poland to the little-known Radom Prison, where of 500 resistance members tortured, only 10 survived, her grandfather the only known Jewish one. There, Karen finds answers, yet not easy ones. As she exposes her family's saga of love and betrayal, countless brushes with death, precarious hiding places, and the astounding negotiation with an SS officer who saved her mother's life, Karen must reconcile the complicated, multi-faceted truths behind human behavior. Irena's Gift weaves together a mystery, history, and memoir to tell a story of sacrifice, impossible choices, impossible odds, and the way trauma reverberates throughout generations. Yet it is also a story of resilience and bravery, revealing how love and hope, too, can not only prevail through the worst imaginable circumstances, but resonate through time.

＜p＞They were called a bunch of rag-tag soldiers, a “show division” not really meant for battle, knitted together among others with actors from the Army’s discontinued War Show Task Force and a defunct Army college program for soldiers not destined for any combat. But then they attacked the vaunted Maginot Line of underground fortresses occupied by the Nazis, arguably the stiffest spot along the Franco-German Rhine River border of Alsace, France. By the time the dust settled, the 100th had advanced further east than any division of the U.S. Seventh Army in the overlooked, yet supremely critical, third and southern front against Adolph Hitler.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜br /＞ Joseph Militano is a former investigative reporter and senior defense industry executive of more than forty years. His personal interest in the Sons of Bitche stems from his father, who served with the 100th Infantry Division in WWII.

＜p＞The opening days of World War II in the Pacific found the island of Guam in the Mariana Islands to be an isolated American possession that was nearly surrounded by Japanese territory. The island came under immediate attack with the start of hostilities. The small garrison of marines, navy personnel, and Guamanians surrendered to Japanese invaders after offering only token resistance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞However, not all of the American servicemen capitulated. Navy radioman George Ray Tweed was one of six sailors who disappeared into the thick interior jungle. The Japanese occupiers quickly solidified control over the island and began a ruthless search for the missing sailors. Five of the Americans were eventually found and mercilessly killed. The sole survivor, Tweed spent the next thirty-one months on the runーsometimes literally running for his lifeーstaying just one step ahead of his hunters. He continually eluded his pursuers through the use of his survival skills, some good luck, and the generous help of Guamanian civilians, often at great risk to their own safety.＜/p＞ ＜p＞During the two and a half years the sailor remained in hiding, American forces were fighting their way across the Pacific. The events reached a crescendo in the summer of 1944 with the arrival of the American fleet in Guam. A major naval battle, an amphibious invasion, the rescue of George Tweed, and a brutal fight to liberate Guam all combine to bring this epic story to a close.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Seizing on the challenge to motivate his men, General George Kenney promoted what they would come to call the "race of aces" as a way of boosting the spirits of his war-weary command.What developed was a wild three-year sprint for fame and glory, and the chance to be called America's greatest fighter pilot. The story has never been told until now.Based on new research and full of revelations, John Bruning's brilliant, original book tells the story of how five American pilots contended for personal glory in the Pacific while leading Kenney's resurgent air force against the most formidable enemy America ever faced.The pilots -- Richard Bong, Tommy McGuire, Neel Kearby, Charles MacDonald and Gerald Johnson -- riveted the nation as they contended for Rickenbacker's crown. As their scores mounted, they transformed themselves from farm boys and aspiring dentists into artists of the modern dogfight.But as the race reached its climax, some of the pilots began to see how the spotlight warped their sense of duty. They emerged as leaders, beloved by their men as they chose selfless devotion over national accolades.Teeming with action all across the vast Pacific theater, Race of Aces is a fascinating exploration of the boundary between honorable duty, personal glory, and the complex landscape of the human heart."Brings you into the cockpit of the lethal, fast-paced world of fighter pilots . . . Fascinating." -- Sara Vladic"Extraordinary . . . a must-read." -- US Navy Captain Dan Pedersen"A heart-pounding narrative of the courage, sacrifice, and tragedy of America's elite fighter pilots." -- James M. Scott"Vivid and gripping . . . Confirms Bruning's status as the premier war historian of the air." -- Saul David
