Titoli in Prima guerra mondiale

Frank Ledwidge offers a sweeping look at the history of air warfare, introducing the major battles, crises, and controversies where air power has taken center stage and exploring the changes in technology and air power capabilities over time. Considering whether bombing has ever been truly effective, he discusses whether wars can be won from the air and concludes by analyzing whether there is a future for manned air power, or if it is inevitable that drones will dominate 21st-century war in the air.

With a total of 40 victories, Oswald Boelcke was Germany's first ace in World War I-and a century later he remains a towering figure in the history of air warfare, renowned for his character, inspirational leadership, organizational genius, development of air-to-air tactics, and impact on aerial doctrine. Paving the way for modern air forces across the world with his pioneering strategies, Boelcke had a dramatic effect on his contemporaries. The famed Red Baron's mentor, instructor, squadron commander, and friend, he exerted a tremendous influence upon the German air force.

The World War That Changed the Story of Women explores the seismic shifts in women's roles brought on by the First World War. It delves into the pivotal moment in history when the seeds of modernity were planted and women stepped into the public sphere. It was the watershed event that inaugurated passports to travel, daylight-saving’s time, central banks in every country, and, alas, women in the workforce.

The great fantasy writer Lord Dunsany wrote very little in the way of fantasy after the onset of the First World War. This was partly because he was busy, having volunteered in 1915 and becoming a Captain in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in Derry. However, the reality of the world bore in on our hero at this time, and it is not difficult to imagine that his heart moved to more serious concerns. Dunsany’s days of high fantasy, it seems, ended with the emergence of civil unrest in his nation.

The Gallipoli letter is an 8000-word private report written by journalist Keith Arthur Murdoch, with the help of British war correspondent Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, after visiting the Gallipoli peninsula in September 1915. It describes the organization and conditions of the Gallipoli campaign. It was sent to Andrew Fisher (then-Prime Minister of Australia) and Henry Herbert Asquith (then-Prime Minister of the UK). Murdoch’s twenty-eight-page letter helped to establish the idea of Gallipoli as a military disaster.

"Good-Bye to All That: An Autobiography" by Robert Graves is a seminal work that vividly captures the harrowing experiences of a young British officer during World War I.

With Muse of Fire, Michael Korda, the bestselling author of Alone and Hero, takes a novel approach to World War I by telling its history through the lives of the soldier-poets whose verses memorialize the war's unimaginable horrors. He begins with Rupert Brooke and the halcyon days before violence engulfed his generation—destroying the self-contented world of Edwardian England—and ends with the tragic death of Wilfred Owen, killed only days before the armistice brought an end to a war that took over 25,000,000 lives.

The showdown should have been a brief affair, where the German Empire put its neighbours in their place. Encouraged by the spirit of adventure thousands of young men volunteered to defend the nation’s honour. On the other hand, in France, Britain and Russia optimism was just as high: the troops would be home by Christmas. But the reality was quite different. Soon the lines were locked in a deadly mud hell in the heart of Europe, and despite new weapons like poison gas, submarines, tanks and aircraft the war was protracted.

I 1346 BESLUTTEDE TATARERNES HÆRFØRER, JANI BEG, AT KASTE DØDE SOLDATER IND OVER MURENE TIL BYEN KAFFA, SOM HAN BELEJREDE MED SIN HÆR. SOLDATERNE VAR DØDE AF PEST, OG DA DE SICILIANSKE KØBMÆND PÅ DEN ANDEN SIDE AF MUREN FLYGTEDE, BRAGTE DE SYGDOMMEN MED SIG TIL EUROPA, HVOR PESTEN SLOG OP MOD HALVDELEN AF ALLE EUROPÆERE IHJEL.

Slutstriden om Berlin kom att involvera runt 3,5 miljoner man. Första världskriget hade också slutat med tysk kapitulation men bortsett från gränsregleringar och ockupationen av Rhenlandet och Saarland togs inte Tyskland i besittning. Vid Casablancakonferensen 1943 och senare vid Jalta i februari 1945 enades däremot de allierade statsledarna om att en ovillkorlig tysk kapitulation var den enda acceptabla utgången av kriget.

Den 28. juni 1914 blev den østrigske prins Franz Ferdinand skudt af Gavrilo Princip i byen Sarajevo i Serbien. I dag siger man, at det skud startede 1. verdenskrig. 1. verdenskrig varede fra 1914 til 1918, og omkring 9 millioner mennesker blev dræbt. De største slag blev udkæmpet i skyttegravene i Europa. Under krigen blev en række helt nye våben taget i brug. Det gjaldt blandt andet kampvogne, fly, maskingeværer og giftgas. Lyt med, og få et overblik over krigens forløb, fra den startede i 1914, til den sluttede i 1918. Søren Elmerdahl Hemmingsen (f. 1966) er cand.mag. i historie og da

Neal Bascomb, a New York Times best-selling author, delivers the spellbinding story of the downed Allied airmen who masterminded the remarkably courageous - and ingenious - breakout from Germany's most devilish POW camp.

The Western Front evokes images of mud-spattered men in waterlogged trenches, shielded from artillery blasts and machine-gun fire by a few feet of dirt. This iconic setting was the most critical arena of the Great War. In this epic narrative history, the first volume in a groundbreaking trilogy on the Great War, Nick Lloyd captures the horrific fighting on the Western Front beginning with the surprise German invasion of Belgium in August 1914 and taking us to the Armistice of November 1918.
