![]() ![]() Author: Clark Alan Publisher: Res Gestae Durante i primi mesi della Grande Guerra, le devastanti perdite subite compromisero irrimediabilmente i quadri del tradizionale e ben strutturato esercito inglese. Tali vuoti, impossibili da colmare persino con l'entusiasmo e il patriottismo sincero dei volontari, aprirono la strada a nuovi e tragici massacri nelle file britanniche negli anni successivi. Figura emblematica di questo scenario fu Sir John French, comandante impetuoso e collerico, responsabile del disastro di Loos e noto per il suo rifiuto di condividere la mensa con i propri ufficiali. A lui si affiancavano numerosi altri ufficiali del tutto inadeguati, tra cui Sir Henry Rawlinson e Sir Henry Wilson. Il titolo dell'opera si riferisce proprio a questi inetti in divisa, richiamando una controversa frase attribuita a un ufficiale tedesco: 'I soldati britannici sono leoni guidati da somari'. Lo storico Alan Clark analizza i profili e le carriere di questi comandanti, accusandoli di aver provocato sacrifici inutili e di aver incarnato la mediocrità e l'incapacità di uno Stato Maggiore che, nonostante tutto, avrebbe ricevuto la gloria di una vittoria pagata a un prezzo altissimo. € 24,00

![]() ![]() Author: Clark Alan Publisher: Res Gestae Un classico della storia militare, in cui Alan Clark racconta con lucidità e intensità il feroce scontro tra tedeschi e russi sul Fronte Orientale durante la Seconda guerra mondiale. Il libro offre un'analisi approfondita degli eventi chiave di questa fase cruciale del conflitto, dalla fulminea Operazione Barbarossa, lanciata il 22 giugno 1941, fino alla sanguinosa battaglia di Stalingrado e al crollo del Terzo Reich a Berlino. Attraverso una narrazione avvincente, Clark descrive non solo le strategie militari e le difficoltà operative affrontate da entrambe le parti, ma anche le drammatiche conseguenze politiche e sociali della guerra, tra cui le deportazioni di massa e l'occupazione dei territori sovietici. La sua prosa incisiva trasporta il lettore direttamente sul campo di battaglia, restituendo tutta la brutalità e la disperazione dello scontro tra la Wehrmacht e l'Armata Rossa. Questo saggio storico non si limita a raccontare i fatti, ma offre una riflessione approfondita sulle dinamiche che hanno portato alla disfatta di Hitler, rendendolo un'opera imprescindibile per chiunque voglia comprendere la brutalità della guerra e l'epopea sovietica sul Fronte Orientale. € 28,00

![]() ![]() Author: Clark Alan; Mancinelli Giuseppe; Carrobio di Carrobio Mario Publisher: Res Gestae Prima grande sconfitta politico-militare della Germania nazista, la battaglia di Stalingrado è stato lo spartiacque della Seconda guerra mondiale. Forse nessun'altra battaglia nel corso della storia ha attratto in egual misura l'attenzione del mondo. Il piano sovietico per intrappolare e annientare la 6° armata tedesca davanti alla città di Stalingrado fu un capolavoro nel suo genere: oltre un milione di uomini doveva avventarsi sulle forze tedesche, accerchiarle e poi distruggerle. L'esecuzione fu altrettanto perfetta: quando la gigantesca battaglia fu conclusa, l'orgogliosa armata del generale von Paulus non esisteva più e Stalingrado, che era stata teatro di alcuni tra i più aspri combattimenti di tutta la guerra, era nuovamente in mano sovietica. In questa eccezionale ricostruzione del fronte orientale, che vede dar voce a entrambi gli schieramenti in campo, ripercorriamo quei gloriosi giorni hanno condotto alla liberazione di Stalingrado e a una svolta decisiva nella Seconda guerra mondiale. € 16,00

![]() ![]() Author: Jepson Allan (EDT), Clarke Alan (EDT) Publisher: Routledge The development of the festival and event industry has seen large scale growth and extensive government support as a result of objectives to enhance and project the image of place and leverage positive sponsorship and regeneration opportunities. As we move deeper into austerity measures prompted by economic recession, community festivals and events as a sacred or profane time of celebration can be considered even more important than ever before. This book for the first time explores the role and importance of ‘community’, ‘culture’ and its impact through festivals and events. Split into two distinct sections, the first introduces key themes and concepts, contextualises local traditions and culture, and investigates how festivals and events can act as a catalyst for tourism and create a sense of community. It then questions the social and political nature of festivals and community events through examining their ownership. The second section focuses on communities themselves, seeking to examine and discuss key emerging themes in community event studies such as; the role of diaspora, imagined communities, pride and identity, history, producing and consuming space and place, authenticity, and multi-ethnic communities. Examples are drawn from Portugal, the Dominican Republic, the USA, Malaysia, Malta, Finland and Australia making this book truly international. This significant volume will be valuable reading for students and academics across the fields of Event, Tourism and Hospitality studies as well as other social science disciplines. € 149,60

![]() ![]() Author: Jeffers H. Paul, Axelrod Alan (COL), Clark Wesley K. (FRW) Publisher: St Martins Pr General George C. Marshall was a skillful and compassionate leader with a unique legacy. He never fired a shot during WWII and led no troops into battle—his brilliance was purely strategic and diplomatic, and incredibly effective. He was responsible for the building, supplying, and, in part, the deployment of over eight million soldiers. In 1947, as Secretary of State, he created the Marshall Plan, a sweeping economic recovery effort that pulled the war-shattered European nations out of ruin, and gave impetus to NATO and the European Common Market. It was for the Marshall Plan that he won the Nobel Peace Prize—the only time in history a military commander has ever been awarded this honor. Marshall's skilled combination of military strategy and politics, emphasis on planning as well as execution, and his expertise in nation-building holds lessons for military and civilian leaders today. € 11,60
