2SAS Bill Stirling and the forgotten special forces unit of World War II【電子書籍】[ Gavin Mortimer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Drawing on recently declassified files and interviews with veterans, this is a</strong> <strong>fascinating history of Bill Stirling and 2SAS ? pioneering founders of modern special forces.</strong></p> <p>David Stirling is the name synonymous with the wartime SAS, but the real brains behind the operation was in fact Bill Stirling, David's eldest brother. Bill was described in the SAS War Diary as a 'man from the shadows'; it was an apt description for, unlike his attention seeking brother, Bill shunned the spotlight. Now for the first time the truth ? and the triumph ? of 2SAS is revealed.</p> <p>Having originally joined the SOE in March 1940, Bill Stirling sailed for Cairo in 1941 and there had the idea for a small special forces unit to be led by his mercurial brother. But despite some success, David allowed the legendary 1SAS to drift under his leadership. Following his capture, Bill re-directed 2SAS, under his personal command, to the strategy he had originally envisaged: parachuting behind enemy lines to gather intelligence.</p> <p>Fully illustrated with rare and previously unpublished photographs, this compelling history details how 2SAS fought with ingenuity and aggression, from Italy and then into France before heading through Holland into Germany. The unit was capable of attacking by parachute, jeep or landing craft, establishing a template for future special forces' operations. Their feats have been overshadowed by the many books that have focused on David and 1SAS. <em>2SAS</em> corrects this oversight, revealing that the real innovator was Bill Stirling ? the true pioneer of Who Dares Wins.</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。 3,160円

Per Michel, convinto com’? che tutti debbano amarlo, non ? stato difficile sedurre la figlia della signora Lange, quella Louise nella cui schiva presenza ?lie ha sempre trovato ≪un che di dolce, di rasserenante≫.

Scandalo in Val Gardena Nessuno rester? impunito【電子書籍】[ Clambagio ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Di quel bambino, in un paesino sulle Dolomiti, non ne vuole sapere nessuno. Non il padre, non le zie, nemmeno il sindaco o il prelato. Perch? quel bambino ? illegittimo, e la sua sola esistenza, in quegli anni Cinquanta, ? motivo di vergogna per tutta la comunit?. Solo il grande, intrepido amore della madre lo fa venire alla luce, e gli consegna un nome in cui racchiude tutta la folle speranza per il rifiorire di un futuro migliore. Ma ? un futuro che lei, la bella e intrepida Katharina, non conoscer?.<br /> I fili tessuti dal destino ricamano storie che gli uomini non possono comprendere. Quando una mano provvidenziale strappa il piccolo dagli artigli della tragedia, non sa che con quel gesto pietoso sta avviando una catena di eventi sbalorditivi, che a distanza di anni e anni porteranno quel bambino a divenire un uomo colto, ricco e potente. E quando la verit? viene finalmente svelata, ecco che il temibile uomo sbocciato da quel bambino abbandonato scatena la propria vendetta implacabile.<br /> Romanzo intenso e appassionante, costruito su un intreccio complesso come la vita ma sempre lucido come la determinazione del suo protagonista, un Edmond Dantes contemporaneo che un profondo, inesorabile senso di giustizia personale spinge fino agli estremi. Una storia che pagina dopo pagina sale come un’onda di indignazione e di commozione, per poi rovesciarsi in un disegno spietato di rivalsa.</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。 1,024円

The First Hundred Thousand: Being the Unofficial Chronicle of a Unit of "K(1)"【電子書籍】[ Ian Hay ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This revelation naturally clouds Private Mucklewame's intellect for the afternoon; and he wonders dimly, not for the first time, why he ever abandoned his well-paid and well-fed job as a butcher's assistant in distant Wishaw ten long days ago. And so the drill goes on. All over the drab, dusty, gritty parade-ground, under the warm September sun, similar squads are being pounded into shape. They have no uniforms yet: even their instructors wear bowler hats or cloth caps. Some of the faces under the brims of these hats are not too prosperous. The junior officers are drilling squads too. They are a little shaky in what an actor would call their "patter," and they are inclined to lay stress on the wrong syllables; but they move their squads about somehow. Their seniors are dotted about the square, vigilant and helpfulーhere prompting a rusty sergeant instructor, there unravelling a squad which, in a spirited but misguided endeavour to obey an impossible order from Second Lieutenant Bobby Little, has wound itself up into a formation closely resembling the third figure of the Lancers. Over there, by the officers' mess, stands the Colonel. He is in uniform, with a streak of parti-coloured ribbon running across above his left-hand breast-pocket. He is pleased to call himself a "dug-out." A fortnight ago he was fishing in the Garry, his fighting days avowedly behind him, and only the Special Reserve between him and embonpoint. Now he finds himself pitchforked back into the Active List, at the head of a battalion eleven hundred strong. He surveys the scene. Well, his officers are all right. The Second in Command has seen almost as much service as himself. Of the four company commanders, two have been commandeered while home on leave from India, and the other two have practised the art of war in company with brother Boer. Of the rest, there are three subalterns from the Second Battalionーleft behind, to their unspeakable woeーand four from the O.T.C. The juniors are very junior, but keen as mustard. But the men! Is it possible? Can that awkward, shy, self-conscious mob, with scarcely an old soldier in their ranks, be pounded, within the space of a few months, into the Seventh (Service) Battalion of the Bruce and Wallace Highlandersーone of the most famous regiments in the British Army? The Colonel's boyish figure stiffens. "They're a rough crowd," he murmurs, "and a tough crowd: but they're a stout crowd. By gad! we'll make them a credit to the Old Regiment yet!"</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。 640円
