We Don't Talk About That: A Riveting Story of Survival WWII【電子書籍】[ Giselle Roeder ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Millions of women were abused and raped during the final stages of WW II, and while the attitude among many survivors is "We don't talk about that," this woman has found the courage to place her memories on record. Growing up in a rural village in Pomerania, Gila's tranquil life turned tragic when the fighting approached her neighborhood. Her father was captured and taken to Siberia while she and her family became displaced persons and joined the trek of thousands "on the road to nowhere." She was witness to gruesome acts of violence that quickly aged her before her years. She barely survived diphtheria and later, recovering from typhoid fever, she took responsibility for her three siblings while her mother worked. Despite her interrupted schooling through circumstances beyond her control, Gila's determination empowered her to become a Physical Education teacher and successful competitive kayaker. The division of Germany into East and West with its political ramifications caused her to escape to West Germany. Here she was able to fulfill an old dream despite having to face new challenges, including an unwanted affair. Gila's story is one of heartache, courage, pain, love, liberation and reclaiming life.</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。 516円

Irena's Gift An Epic WWII Memoir of Sisters, Secrets, and Survival【電子書籍】[ Karen Kirsten ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**Weaving mystery, history and memoir, <em>Irena’s Gift</em> 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.</p> <p>From the glittering concert halls of interbellum Warsaw and the vermin-infested ghetto where an SS officer is convinced to save a Jewish child’s life, to the author’s upbringing in a Christian home, this is the story of resilience, sacrifice, Jewish identity, intergenerational trauma, and the secrets we keep to protect ourselves and those we love. For readers of <em>When Time Stopped</em> by Ariana Neumann, <em>I Want You to Know We’re Still Here</em> by Esther Safran Foer, and <em>House of Glass</em> by Hadley Freeman.**</p> <p>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ーuntil an innocent question unexpectedly revealed the truth.</p> <p>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ー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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><em>Irena’s Gift</em> 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>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。 2,274円

Letters from the Greatest Generation Writing Home in WWII【電子書籍】[ Howard H. Peckham ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A collection of personal letters from overseas that reveal in day-to-day detail what it was like to serve in World War II.</strong></p> <p>Recounting victory and defeat, love and loss, this is a remarkable and frank collection of World War II letters penned by American men and women serving overseas.</p> <p>Here, the hopes and dreams of the greatest generation fill each page, and their voices ring loud and clear. “It’s all part of the game but it’s bloody and rough,” writes one soldier to his wife. “Wearing two stripes now and as proud as an old cat with five kittens,” remarks another. Yet, as many countries rejoiced on V-E Day, this book reveals that soldiers were “too tired and sad to celebrate.”</p> <p>Filled with the everyday thoughts of these fighters, the letters are by turns heartbreaking and amusing, revealing and frightening. While visiting a German concentration camp, one man wrote, “I don’t like Army life but I’m glad we are here to stop these atrocities.” Meanwhile, in another letter a soldier quips, “I know lice don’t crawl so I figured they were fleas.” A fitting tribute to all veterans, this book brings the experience of warーits dramatic horrors, its dreary hardships, its desperate hope for a better futureーto vivid life.</p> <p>“An intimate portrait of the mundane and remarkable, of heroism and terror, of friendship and loss . . . Timely, compelling, and important reading.”ーMatthew L. Basso, author of <em>Men at Work</em></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。 2,728円

Race of Aces WWII's Elite Airmen and the Epic Battle to Become the Master of the Sky【電子書籍】[ John R Bruning ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The astonishing untold story of the WWII airmen who risked it all in the deadly race to become the greatest American fighter pilot.</strong></p> <p>In 1942, America's deadliest fighter pilot, or "ace of aces" -- the legendary Eddie Rickenbacker -- offered a bottle of bourbon to the first U.S. fighter pilot to break his record of twenty-six enemy planes shot down. 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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Teeming with action all across the vast Pacific theater, <em>Race of Aces</em> is a fascinating exploration of the boundary between honorable duty, personal glory, and the complex landscape of the human heart.</p> <p><strong>"Brings you into the cockpit of the lethal, fast-paced world of fighter pilots . . . Fascinating." -- Sara Vladic</strong></p> <p><strong>"Extraordinary . . . a must-read." -- US Navy Captain Dan Pedersen</strong></p> <p><strong>"A heart-pounding narrative of the courage, sacrifice, and tragedy of America's elite fighter pilots." -- James M. Scott</strong></p> <p><strong>"Vivid and gripping . . .

THE FIELD HOSPITAL THAT NEVER WAS: Diary of Lt. Col. Karl D. Macmillan's, MD, 96th Field Hospital in China-India-Burma Theater 1945, WWII【電子書籍】[ Ruth Clifford Engs ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A FORGOTTEN WAR, A FORGOTTEN MEDICAL UNIT, A FORGOTTEN PHYSICIAN</p> <p>Lt. Col. (later Col) Karl D. MacMillan’s, MD, diary provides vivid impressions and observations as commanding officer of the US Army’s 96th Field Hospital in the last year of World War II. This mobile hospital in the almost forgotten CBI Theater has essentially been lost to history. Thus the purpose of this work is to bring to life the 96th Field Hospital and MacMillan’s experiences.</p> <p>The field hospital was organized October 1944 at Camp Barkley, TX. In December, MacMillan, an ophthalmologist, was made commander of the unit. The diary begins with his deployment across the Pacific February 7, 1945 and his experiences on the Navy troopship “USS General A. Mann,” to India. It continues with travel by rickety train and then vehicle convoy through Burma and into China over the treacherous Ledo-Burma Road.</p> <p>In anticipation of an invasion of Japan during the autumn of 1945 and treatment of a half million potential war casualties, the field hospital’s destination was China. In order to keep American and Chinese troops healthy, mobile units such as field hospitals, also needed to pay attention to public health measures as part of the Army Medical Service mission.</p> <p>As MacMillan and the unit slog through mud and monsoons over the rough terrain their primary battles were against poor personal hygiene, sanitation, road accidents, and virulent tropical diseases.</p> <p>Tropical diseases including scrub typhus, schistosomiasis, cholera, and amebic dysentery, never seen by most of the American Army physicians, affected most units in the theater including the Chinese troops. These diseases were often difficult to prevent or treat.</p> <p>Throughout MacMillan’s diary, he mentions preventive measures to keep his, and nearby units, healthy. The troops took daily doses of Atabrine and used mosquito nets or “bars” to prevent malaria infections. The medical unit gave immunizations against plague, cholera, and typhoid fever. Sexually transmitted diseases were rampant among local women and the American troops with whom they consorted. It was an ongoing struggle to find and maintain clean latrines, reduce disease carrying insects, and to prevent vehicle accidents on the rough Ledo-Burma, Burma, and other roads.</p> <p>MacMillan’s diary, reflecting his attention to detail and interest in anthropology, geography and other scientific disciplines, captures the essence of both the physical difficulty of the journey and his daily leadership challenges. When they arrived in Kunming, China, to set up the field hospital, they found it was not needed and sent to Liuchow and then to Shanghai, China. Confusion reigned as the field hospital was depleted to provide personnel to war-weary units.</p> <p>Some levity is found in his detailed descriptions of meals and shopping trips for exotic East Asian goods. Fascinating descriptions of the terrain, flying “over the Hump,” Chinese villages, and interesting characters, both within his unit and those met on the road, add to the diary’s interest. This work provides a unique insight into MacMillan and the many challenges he faced during the winding down of the Second World War.</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。 806円

United States Army in WWII - Europe - the Ardennes: Battle of the Bulge [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Dr. Hugh M. Cole ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>[Includes 14 maps and 96 photos]<br /> During most of the eleven months between D-day and V-E day, the U.S. Army was carrying on highly successful offensive operations. As a consequence, the American soldier was buoyed with success, imbued with the idea that his enemy could not strike him a really heavy counterblow...Then, unbelievably, and under the goad of Hitler’s fanaticism, the German Army launched its powerful counteroffensive in the Ardennes in Dec. 1944 with the design of knifing through the Allied armies and forcing a negotiated peace. The mettle of the American soldier was tested in the fires of adversity and the quality of his response earned for him the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with his forebears of Valley Forge, Fredericksburg, and the Marne.<br /> This is the story of how the Germans planned and executed their offensive. It is the story of how the high command, American and British, reacted to defeat the German plan once the reality of a German offensive was accepted. But most of all it is the story of the American fighting man and the manner in which he fought a myriad of small defensive battles until the torrent of the German attack was slowed and diverted, its force dissipated and finally spent. It is the story of squads, platoons, companies, and even conglomerate scratch groups that fought with courage, with fortitude, with sheer obstinacy, often without information or communications or the knowledge of the whereabouts of friends...<br /> In recreating the Ardennes battle, the author has penetrated "the fog of war" as well as any historian can hope to do. No other volume of this series treats as thoroughly or as well the teamwork of the combined arms-infantry and armor, artillery and air, combat engineer and tank destroyer-or portrays as vividly the starkness of small unit combat. Every thoughtful student of military history, but most especially the student of small unit tactics, should find the reading of Dr. Cole’s work a rewarding experience.</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。 483円

<p><strong>Stories of WWII’s elite glider troops and their combat operations, including Eben Emael, Normandy, Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, and more.</strong></p> <p>Long pursued by civilian thrill seekers and dare devils, airborne gliding came of age during World War II as one of that conflict’s most dangerous combat operations. The armed forces of Axis and Allied nations developed glidersーwooden aircraft that bursts of flak could shred and a poor landing could smashーand flew them into battle at Eben Emael, Crete, Normandy, Arnhem, and Bastogne.</p> <p>James E. Mrazek’s riveting account brings to life both the men who carried out these perilous missions and the gliders that proved vital to the success of airborne attacks.</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。 2,904円

A Good Place to Hide How One Community Saved Thousands of Lives from the Nazis In WWII【電子書籍】[ Peter Grose ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>During the occupation of France in WWII the villages around Le Chambon-sur-Lignon pulled off an astonishing and largely unknown feat. Risking everything, they underwent a long-running battle of nerves and daring to hide 5,000 men, women and children, 3,500 of them Jews, from the Nazis and their Vichy stooges. Despite the danger, a whole community rallied together, from the pacifist pastor who defied orders to the glamorous female agent with a wooden leg, from the 18-year-old master forger to the schoolgirl who ran suitcases stuffed with money for the Resistance.</p> <p>Told using first-hand testimonies of many of the survivors and face-to-face interviews conducted by the author, <em>A Good Place to Hide</em> is the thrilling story of ordinary people who thwarted the Nazis and sheltered strangers in desperate need.</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。 1,808円

United States Army in WWII - the Pacific - CARTWHEEL: the Reduction of Rabaul [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ John Miller Jr. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>[Includes 2 tables, 11 charts, 22 maps and 71 illustrations]<br /> The campaign described in the present volume was important to the Army as an experience in amphibious warfare and combined operations against a formidable and still resourceful enemy. It was also of critical importance in the evolution of American strategy in the Pacific. CARTWHEEL began as an uphill fight with means that seemed inadequate to the ends proposed, even though these were limited. But it swiftly brought our forces to a crest from which we were able to launch the two powerful drives, through the Southwest and Central Pacific, that crushed Japan before we redeployed the forces directed against Germany. The campaign put to the test the principle of unity of command, and also the capacity for co-operation between two theaters, one under Army, the other under Navy command, and both under forceful and dominant commanders. By ingenious and aggressive use of the ground, sea, and air forces at their disposal they made these suffice to achieve more than had been foreseen as possible, and opened up a new vista of strategy. They took a heavy toll of the enemy’s resources, established the technique of bypassing his strongholds, including finally Rabaul itself, and threw him on the defensive. This book will be of interest not only to professional officers, but also to a wide variety of other readers and students.</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。 483円
