Dicembre 1915, da oltre un anno l’Europa brucia. La guerra lampo dei tedeschi è fallita, ma sul fronte occidentale gli eserciti di Guglielmo II di Germania sembrano accingersi ad attaccare in forze uno dei punti strategici della linea difensiva francese, Verdun. Se la città fortificata cade, i tedeschi potranno spingersi fino a Parigi. A Febbraio 1916, ha inizio una delle più sanguinose battaglie della storia dell’uomo. Per quasi un anno, i due schieramenti combatterono nel fango e nella polvere, lasciando sui campi e negli ospedali oltre mezzo milione di soldati.

In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads. His marriage had ended, he was gravely ill, and after decades at the forefront of modern art, he was beset by doubt. As scores of famous figures escaped the country, Matisse took refuge in Nice, with his companion, Lydia. By defiantly remaining, Matisse was a source of inspiration for his nation.

This is the strange and fascinating life of Erwin Rommel, from his days as a youth in Imperial Germany - when he had a child out of wedlock with an early girlfriend - through his lauded military exploits during World War I to his death by suicide during World War II, after he attempted a failed coup against Hitler. Rommel was a man of contradictions: a soldier who wrote a best-selling book about World War I, a commander who went from commanding Hitler's bodyguard to trying to kill him, and a serious military mind who was known for participating in practical jokes.

A classic work of military strategy, On War sets forth the theories and tactics of Carl von Clausewitz, a distinguished Prussian general who was notable for his roles in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The book covers a broad range of topics, including weapons, terrain, troops, and leadership, as well as the importance of defense over offence, the balance of power, and the subordination of war to politics. Praised for its timeless insights, Clausewitz’s treatise is often compared to the work of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu, and remains relevant to military leaders.

"Der Krieg ist die Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln."

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was one of the most cataclysmic events in world history, profoundly shaping politics, international relations, social patterns, economics and science in the century that followed. It created long-lasting aftershocks which travelled far beyond its geographical borders. How did it happen? What were the sequence of events that led, following the shocking upheaval of the old Romanov order, to a fierce and violent rivalry between a variety of revolutionary factions and the ultimate victory of the Bolsheviks?

Io e Roberto eravamo renitenti alla leva, mio fratello, allora diciassettenne, si aggregò.
