World War I

"The diplomatic origins, so-called, of the War are only the fever chart of the patient; they do not tell us what caused the fever. To probe for underlying causes and deeper forces one must operate within the framework of a whole society and try to discover what moved the people in it."
--Barbara W. Tuchman
The fateful quarter-century leading up to the World War I was a time when the world of Privilege still existed in Olympian luxury and the world of Protest was heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate. The age was the climax of a century of the most accelerated rate of change in history, a cataclysmic shaping of destiny.
In The Proud Tower, Barbara Tuchman concentrates on society rather than the state. With an artist's selectivity, Tuchman bings to vivid life the people, places, and events that shaped the years leading up to the Great War: the Edwardian aristocracy and the end of their reign; the Anarchists of Europe and America, who voiced the protest of the oppressed; Germany, as portrayed through the figure of the self-depicted Hero, Richard Strauss; the sudden gorgeous blaze of Diaghilev's Russian Ballet and Stravinsky's music; the Dreyfus Affair; the two Peace Conferences at the Hague; and, finally, the youth, ideals, enthusiasm, and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized in the moment when the heroic Jean Jaurès was shot to death on the night the War began and an epoch ended.
"Tuchman [was] a distinguished historian who [wrote] her books with a rare combination of impeccable scholarship and literary polish. . . . It would be impossible to read The Proud Tower without pleasure and admiration."
--The New York Times
"Tuchman proved in The Guns of August that she could write better military history than most men. In this sequel, she tells her story with cool wit and warm understanding, eschewing both the sweeping generalizations of a Toynbee and the minute-by-minute simplicisms of a Walter Lord."

World War I

The "Price of Glory: Verdun 1916" is the second book of Alistair Horne's trilogy, which includes "The Fall of Paris" and "To Lose a Battle" and tells the story of the great crises of the rivalry between France and Germany. The battle of Verdun lasted ten months. It was a battle in which at least 700,000 men fell, along a front of fifteen miles. Its aim was less to defeat the enemy than bleed him to death and a battleground whose once fertile terrain is even now a haunted wilderness. Alistair Horne's classic work, continuously in print for over fifty years, is a profoundly moving, sympathetic study of the battle and the men who fought there. It shows that Verdun is a key to understanding the First World War to the minds of those who waged it, the traditions that bound them and the world that gave them the opportunity. "Verdun was the bloodiest battle in history..."The Price of Glory" is the essential book on the subject". ("Sunday Times"). "It has almost every merit...Horne sorts out complicating issues with the greatest clarity. He has a splendid gift for depicting individuals". (A.J.P. Taylor, "Observer"). "A masterpiece". ("The New York Times"). "Compellingly told...Alastair Horne uses contemporary accounts from both sides to build up a picture of heroism, mistakes, even farce". ("Sunday Telegraph"). "Brilliantly written ...very readable; almost like a historical novel - except that it is true". (Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery). One of Britain's greatest historians, Sir Alistair Horne, CBE, is the author of a trilogy on the rivalry between France and Germany, "The Price of Glory", "The Fall of Paris" and "To Lose a Battle", as well as a two-volume life of Harold Macmillan.

Christopher Clark (Author)
4.0 out of 5 stars(5)

New!: $29.99 $18.06 (as of 02/27/2013 00:24 PST)

World War I

The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 is historian Christopher Clark’s riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I.

Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict.

Clark traces the paths to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of history that informed the events of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks.

Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Christopher Clark’s The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe’s descent into a war that tore the world apart.

World War I

Geoff Dyer’s classic The Missing of the Somme is part travelogue, part meditation on remembrance—and completely, unabashedly, unlike any other book about the First World War. Through visits to battlefields and memorials, he examines the way that photographs and film, poetry and prose determined—sometimes in advance of the events described—the way we would think about and remember the war. With his characteristic originality and insight, Dyer untangles and reconstructs the network of myth and memory that illuminates our understanding of, and relationship to, the Great War.

World War I

Although the Russian Imperial Army Air Service consisted of no more than four BAGs (Boevaya Aviatsionniy Gruppa  – battle aviation groups), each controlling three or four smaller AOIs (Aviatsionniy Otryad Istrebitelei  – fighter aviation detachments) equipped with a variety of aircraft types, its fighter pilots nevertheless gave a good account of themselves. Indeed, during three years of war they claimed more than 200 Austro-Hungarian and German aircraft shot down, creating 13 aces – these elite aviators accounted for around half of the victories claimed on the Eastern Front. Pilots flew a variety of fighter types, with French Nieuport scouts and SPAD VIIs proving to be the most popular, and effective, aeroplanes to see service on this front. The exploits of these aces are detailed here, with information based on material newly sourced by the author from Russian military and private archives. Many previously unpublished photographs are used to illustrate this book, supported by full-colour profiles that reveal how striking some of the aces’ fighters were in this often-forgotten theatre of World War I.

World War I brought with it the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which for centuries had dominated Central Europe. Starting the war with only 35 aircraft, Austro-Hungarian industry went on to produce only moderate numbers of poor quality aircraft. The fliers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire operating on the Serbian and Russian fronts were fortunate at first, finding themselves faced by small numbers of aircraft yet more obsolescent than their own. Serbia fell in 1915, but when Italy declared war the Austro-Hungarians were still faced with a two-front war - a static front against Italy, and a far more fluid one against Russia. Austro-Hungarian fighter pilots performed bravely and often very effectively under extremely difficult geographic, climatic and operational conditions. Author: Chant, Christopher ISBN-10: 1841763763

The French Nieuport company provided the Allied air forces with the first true fighter scout of World War 1 in the shape of the diminutive XI of 1915. Based on the Bebe racer, built for the abandoned Gordon-Bennett Trophy of the previous year, the aircraft utilised a sesquiplane (lower wing much smaller than the upper wing) arrangement which gave the XI extreme manoeuvrability. It was the only scout respected by the all-conquering German Fokker E-series of 1915-16, and was flown by French, British, Russian, Belgian and Italian aces. The XI was replaced from May 1916 onwards by the bigger and more powerful XVII. which proved to be one of the best fighters of World War 1.

For six months in 1919, after the end of “the war to end all wars,” the Big Three—President Woodrow Wilson, British prime minister David Lloyd George, and French premier Georges Clemenceau—met in Paris to shape a lasting peace. In this landmark work of narrative history, Margaret MacMillan gives a dramatic and intimate view of those fateful days, which saw new political entities—Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Palestine, among them—born out of the ruins of bankrupt empires, and the borders of the modern world redrawn.

"Winner of the Samuel Johnson PrizeWinner of the PEN Hessell Tiltman PrizeWinner of the Duff Cooper PrizeBetween January and July 1919, after the war to end all wars, men and women from around the world converged on Paris to shape the peace. Center stage, for the first time in history, was an American president, Woodrow Wilson, who with his Fourteen Points seemed to promise to so many people the fulfillment of their dreams. Stern, intransigent, impatient when it came to security concerns and wildly idealistic in his dream of a League of Nations that would resolve all future conflict peacefully, Wilson is only one of the larger-than-life characters who fill the pages of this extraordinary book. David Lloyd George, the gregarious and wily British prime minister, brought Winston Churchill and John Maynard Keynes. Lawrence of Arabia joined the Arab delegation. Ho Chi Minh, a kitchen assistant at the Ritz, submitted a petition for an independent Vietnam.For six months, Paris was effectively the center of the world as the peacemakers carved up bankrupt empires and created new countries. This book brings to life the personalities, ideals, and prejudices of the men who shaped the settlement. They pushed Russia to the sidelines, alienated China, and dismissed the Arabs. They struggled with the problems of Kosovo, of the Kurds, and of a homeland for the Jews.The peacemakers, so it has been said, failed dismally; above all they failed to prevent another war. Margaret MacMillan argues that they have unfairly been made the scapegoats for the mistakes of those who came later. She refutes received ideas about the path from Versailles to World War II and debunks the widely accepted notion that reparations imposed on the Germans were in large part responsible for the Second World War.A landmark work of narrative history, Paris 1919 is the first full-scale treatment of the Peace Conference in more than twenty-five years. It offers a scintillating view of those dramatic and fateful days when much of the modern world was sketched out, when countries were createdIraq, Yugoslavia, Israelwhose troubles haunt us still.From the Hardcover edition.File Size: 2992 KBPrint Length: 624 pages Publisher: Random House (December 18, 2007) Sold by: Random House Digital, Inc.Language: EnglishASIN: B000XUBC7C"

World War I

Friedrich Reck might seem an unlikely rebel against Nazism. Not just a conservative but a rock-ribbed reactionary, he played the part of a landed gentleman, deplored democracy, and rejected the modern world outright. To Reck the Nazis were ruthless revolutionaries in Gothic drag, and helpless as he was to counter the spell they had cast on the German people, he felt compelled to record the corruptions of their rule. The result is less a diary than a sequence of stark and astonishing snapshots of life in Germany between 1936 and 1944. We see the Nazis at the peak of power, and the murderous panic with which they respond to approaching defeat; their travesty of traditional folkways in the name of the Volk; and the author’s own missed opportunity to shoot Hitler. This riveting book is not only, as Hannah Arendt proclaimed it, “one of the most important documents of the Hitler period” but a moving testament of a decent man struggling to do the right thing in a depraved world.

FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLY Item Description Fibber McGee and Molly was a radio show that played a major role in determining the full form of what became classic, old time radio. The series was a pinnacle of American popular culture from its 1935 premiere until its end in 1959. One of the longest running comedies in the history of classic radio in the United States, Fibber McGee and Molly has stood the test of time in many ways, transcending the actual or alleged limitations of its medium, form and concurrent culture. The genesis of Fibber McGee and Molly occurred when small time husband and wife vaudevillians James Jim and Marian Driscoll Jordan, native Illinoisans who met in church, began their third year as Chicago area radio performers. Two of the shows they did for station WENR beginning in 1927, both written by Harry Lawrence, bore traces of what was to come and rank as one of the earliest forms of situation comedy. In their Luke and Mirandy farm report program, Jim played a farmer who was given to tall tales and face saving lies for comic effect. In a weekly comedy, The Smith Family , Marian s character was an Irish wife of an American police officer. These characterizations, plus the Jordans change from being singers musicians to comic actors, pointed toward their future. The Jordans teamed with Donald Quinn, an unemployed cartoonist the couple hired as their writer in 1931. For station WMAQ in Chicago, beginning in April 1931, the trio created Smackout , a 15 minute daily program which centered around a general store and its proprietor, Luke Grey (Jim Jordan), a storekeeper with a penchant for tall tales and a perpetual dearth of whatever his customers wanted He always seemed smack out of it. Marian Jordan portrayed both a lady named Marian and a little girl named Teeny, as well as playing musical accompaniment on piano. Smackout was picked up for national airing by the National Broadcasting Company in April 1933, and the show endured until August 1935. A member of the SC Johnson company s owners, Henrietta Johnson Lewis, married to the advertising executive who handled the Johnson s Wax account, recommended that her husband, John, give the show a chance as a national program for the company. If Smackout proved the Jordan Quinn union s viability, their next creation proved immortal. Amplifying Luke Grey s tall talesmanship to braggadocio in a Midwestern layabout, Quinn developed Fibber McGee and Molly , with Jim playing the foible prone Fibber and Marian playing his patient, honey natured wife. The show premiered on NBC April 16, 1935, and, though it took five seasons to become an irrevocable hit, it touched a nerve with enough listeners seeking cheer amidst despair. Existing in a kind of Neverland where money never came in, schemes never stayed out for very long, yet no one living or visiting went wanting, 79 Wistful Vista (the McGees address) became the home Depression exhausted Americans visited to remind themselves that they were not the only ones finding cheer in the middle of struggle and doing their best not to make it overt. With blowhard McGee wavering between mundane tasks and hare brained schemes (like digging an oil well in the back yard), antagonizing as many people as possible, and patient Molly indulging his foibles before catching him lovingly as he crashed back to earth yet again, not to mention a tireless parade of neighbors and friends in and out of the quiet home, Fibber McGee and Molly built its audience steadily, but once it found the full volume of that audience in 1940 they rarely let go of it. Marian Jordan took a protracted absence from the show in late 1938 early 1939 (as part of a lifelong battle with alcoholism, although this was attributed to fatigue in public statements). The show was retitled Fibber McGee and Company during this interregnum. Fibber McGee and Molly was one of the earliest radio comedies to use regular characters, nearly all of whom had recurring phrases and running gags almost equal to those of the stars. These included Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve (the pompous next door neighbor whom Fibber enjoyed twitting and arguing with). The Old Timer (a hard of hearing senior citizen with a penchant for distorting jokes, prefacing each one by saying That ain t the way I heared it! For no apparent reason he refers to Fibber as Johnny and Molly as Daughter ). A recurring joke is that he refuses to tell his real name. In one episode he finally claims that it is Rupert. Teeny, also known as Little Girl , (a precocious youngster, voiced by Marian Jordan and held over from Smackout, who was usually trying to cadge loose change from Fibber, and ending half her sentences with I m hungry! and, especially, I betcha! Teeny was also known to lose track of her own conversations. When Fibber tried to show interest in what she was saying, she would seem to forget all about it. Her conversation would switch from telling about to asking about whatever it was. Then, when Fibber would repeat all she had been telling him, Teeny would reply I know it! in a condescending way). Mayor LaTrivia, a name inspired by New York s famous mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who would go from frustration to stark raving confusion by the McGees literal interpretations of his colloquialisms. Billy Mills (wisecracking leader of Billy Mills & The Orchestra, who played short instrumentals in the first half of each episode). Dr. Gamble (a local physician and surgeon with whom Fibber had a long standing rivalry and friendship). Ole Swenson (a Swedish born janitor at the Elks Club, always complaining that he was joost donatin my time! ). Abigail Uppington (a snooty society matron whose pretensions Fibber delighted in deflating). Wallace Wimple (a hen pecked husband constantly dominated by Sweetieface, his big ol wife ). Alice Darling (a ditzy munitions plant worker who boarded with the McGees during the war). Horatio K. Boomer (a con artist with a WC Fields like voice and delivery). Nick Depopoulous (a Greek born restaurateur with a tendency toward verbal malapropisms). Myrtle, also known as Myrt , (a never heard telephone operator that Fibber is friends with. A typical Myrt sketch started with Fibber picking up the phone and demanding, Operator, give me number 32...Oooh, is that you, Myrt How s every little thing Myrt Commonly, this was followed with Fibber relaying what Myrt was telling him to Molly, usually news about Myrt s family, and always ending with a bad pun). Myrtle made one brief appearance on 06 22 1943 when she visited the McGees to wish them a good summer the McGees did not recognize her in person. The most unusual character might have been the McGees black maid, Beulah. Unlike the situation on The Jack Benny Program, where black actor Eddie Anderson played Rochester, Beulah was voiced by a Caucasian male, Marlin Hurt. The character s usual opening line, Somebody bawl fo Beulah , often provoked a stunned, screeching sort of laughter among the live studio audience many of them, seeing the show performed for the first time in person, did not know that the actor voicing Beulah was neither black nor female, and expressed their surprise when Hurt delivered his line. The character of Uncle Dennis, who was the subject of a running gag (see below) and was generally never heard, did appear in a few episodes in 1943, including Etiquette on 11 23 1943 and Fibber Makes His Own Chili Sauce on 11 09 1943. Much of the show s humor relied on recurring gags, unseen regulars and punchlines that sometimes popped up here and there for years. Molly s Uncle Dennis is one of the more common unseen regulars, often referred to, and sometimes be heard making noise. He lives with the McGees, and is apparently an enormous alcoholic, becoming a punch line for many Fibber jokes and even the main subject of some shows in which he disappeared. When McGee tells a bad joke, Molly usually answers with the line T ain t funny, McGee! McGee is never mentioned as having a job, a device later made equally famous by Ozzie Nelson. However, Mayor LaTrivia often offers McGee jobs at City Hall, the jobs usually sounding exciting when the duties are vaguely described, but always ending up being very mundane when the actual job is named. For instance, a job looking in on the higher ups turns out to be a window cleaning job. McGee, apparently, is very proud of past deeds, sometimes recalls an interesting nickname he picked up over the years, one example being Eyes a muggin McGee . Eyes a muggin McGee, they d call me! From there he jumps headfirst into a long, breathless and boastful description of his nickname using an impressive amount of alliteration. Each episode also featured an appearance by announcer pitchman Harlow Wilcox, whose job it was to weave the second ad for the sponsor into the plot without having to break the show for a real commercial. Wilcox s introductory pitch lines were usually met with groans or humorously sarcastic lines by Fibber. During the many years that the show was sponsored by Johnson Wax, Fibber nicknamed Wilcox Waxy, due to Wilcox s constant praises of their various products. In fact, and in a style not unusual for the classic radio years, the show was typically introduced as, The Johnson Wax Program, starring Fibber McGee and Molly. Johnson Wax sponsored the show through 1950 Pet Milk through 1952 and, until the show s final half hour episode in mid 1953, Reynolds Aluminum. The Closet None of the show s running gags was as memorable or enduring as The Closet McGee s frequently opening and cacophonous closet, bric a brac clattering down and out and, often enough, over McGee s or Molly s heads. I gotta get that closet cleaned out one of these days was the usual McGee observation once the racket subsided. Like many such trademarks, the clattering closet began as a one time stunt with Molly the burial victim. But The Closet was developed carefully, not being overused (it rarely appeared in more than two consecutive installments, though it never disappeared for the same length, either, at the height of its identification, and it rarely collapsed at exactly the same time from show to show), and it became the best known running sound gag in American radio s classic period. Jack Benny s basement vault alarm ran a distant second. Exactly what tumbled out of McGee s closet each time was never clear (except to the sound effects man), but what signaled the end of the avalanche was always the same sound a clear, tiny, household hand bell and McGee s inevitable postmortem. Naturally, one of these days never arrived. A good thing, too, in one famous instance when burglars tied up McGee, he informed them cannily that the family valuables were in The Closet. Naturally, the burglars took the bait. And, naturally, they were buried in the inevitable avalanche, long enough for the police to come and cuff them and stuff them. Though on one or two episodes, including Too Much Energy (broadcast January 23, 1945), the closet turned up clean, to surprised hilarity. Fibber opened the door to the clean closet, only to be met with complete silence. As the audience chuckled slightly and most likely held their breath in anticipation, Molly explained that she had cleaned out the closet the day before. This was certainly not the end of the gag though, as the closet soon became cluttered once again, leading to many more comedic disasters. In due course, Fibber McGee s Closet entered the American vernacular as a catch phrase synonymous with household clutter. This collection of Fibber McGee and Molly shows features 777 shows on 7 CDs.

World War I

The First World War has shaped the history of the twentieth century. It was the first conflict in which airplanes, submarines, and tanks played a significant role, the first in which casualties on the battlefield outnumbered those from disease. It precipitated the collapse of the empires of Austria-Hungary and Turkey, and it promoted revolution in that of Russia. The USA's entry into the war and the part it played in the peace settlement signalled the arrival on the world stage of a new great power. The victors at Versailles took nationalism as one of their guiding principles; they also aimed at instituting their vision of liberalism and even democracy; the political consequences are still being played out.
In this extensively illustrated book, an international team of experts explores the war in all its different aspects. From its causes to its consequences, from the strategy of the politicians to the tactics of the generals, the course of the war is charted and its political and human consequences assessed. Chapters on economic mobilization, the impact on women, the role of propaganda, and the rise of socialism establish the wider social context of fighting which took place at sea and in the air and which ranged on land from the Flanders trenches to the Balkan mountains and the deserts of the Middle East.
The legacy of 'the war to end wars'--in poetry and prose, in collective memory and political culture--is with us still, eighty years after that first Armistice Day. This remarkable book helps us understand that legacy.

"New Verse"-Nos.26-27-November 1937-6" X 8"-47 pages-Great Britain-literary magazine-Signed By Wystan Auden & CHristopher Isherwood. This vintage literary magazine was from England and originally cost one shilling. The magazine features works by Auden and Isherwood and an early photo of Wystan Auden...Auden, WH Wystan Hugh Auden 190773, Anglo-American poet, b. York, England, educated at Oxford. A versatile, vigorous, and technically skilled poet, Auden ranks among the major literary figures of the 20th cent. Often written in everyday language, his poetry ranges in subject matter from politics to modern psychology to Christianity. During the 1930s he was the leader of a left-wing literary group that included Christopher Isherwood and Stephen Spender. With Isherwood he wrote three verse plays, The Dog beneath the Skin 1935, The Ascent of F6 1936, and On the Frontier 1938, and Journey to a War 1939, a record of their experiences in China. He lived in Germany during the early days of Nazism, and was a stretcher-bearer for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. Auden's first volume of poetry appeared in 1930. Later volumes include Spain 1937, New Year Letter 1941, For the Time Being, a Christmas Oratorio 1945, The Age of Anxiety 1947; Pulitzer Prize, Nones 1951, The Shield of Achilles 1955, Homage to Clio 1960, About the House 1965, Epistle of a Godson and Other Poems 1972, and Thank You, Fog 1974. His other works include Letters from Iceland with Louis MacNeice, 1937; the libretto, with his companion Chester Kallman, for Stravinsky's opera The Rake's Progress 1953; A Certain World: A Commonplace Book 1970; and The Dyer's Hand and Other Essays 1968. In 1939, Auden moved to the United States, he became a citizen in 1946, and beginning that year taught at a number of American colleges and universities. From 1956 to 1961 he was professor of poetry at Oxford. Subsequently he lived in a number of countries, including Italy and Austria, and in 1971 he returned to England. He was awarded the National Medal for Literature in 1967. ...Isherwood, Christopher ish'urwood [key], 190486, British-American author. After the appearance of his first novel, All the Conspirators 1928, Isherwood went to Germany. The four years he spent there furnished him with the material for what are probably his best novels, The Last of Mr. Norris 1935 and Goodby to Berlin 1939; reissued as The Berlin Stories, 1946; these books formed the basis for John Van Druten's play, I Am a Camera 1951, and for the Broadway musical Cabaret 1966. The Berlin novels, which report on the period of social and political unrest during the Nazi rise to power, illustrate Isherwood's general concern with the problem of the intellectual in a tyrannical society.The literary magazine has been autographed on the front cover by Wystan Auden and Christopher Isherwood with fountain pens in blue........BOTH MAGAZINE AND AUTOGRAPHS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION...................
