From the Wikipedia website: "Operation Torch (initially called Operation Gymnast) was the British-American invasion of French North Africa in World War II during the North African Campaign, started 8 November 1942. The Soviet Union had pressed the United States and Britain to start operations in Europe, and open a second front to reduce the pressure of German forces on the Russian troops. While the American commanders favored Operation Sledgehammer, landing in Occupied Europe as soon as possible, the British commanders believed that such a course would end in disaster. An attack on French North Africa was proposed instead, which would clear the Axis Powers from North Africa, improve naval control of the Mediterranean Sea, and prepare an invasion of Southern Europe in 1943. American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt suspected the African operation would rule out an invasion of Europe in 1943 but agreed to support British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

From the dj: The proposition of this stunning sequel to the celebrated Roosevelt: The Lion And The Fox, James MacGregor Burns notes in the Preface, is that Franklin D. Roosevelt 'as war leader was a deeply divided man - divided between the man of principle, of ideals, of faith…and…the man of Realpolitik, of prudence, of narrow, manageable, short-run goals, intent always on protecting his power and authority in a world of shifting moods an capricious fortune. This dualism cleft not only Roosevelt, but also his advisers… And it divided the American people themselves, who were vacillating between the evangelical moods of idealism, sentimentalism, and utopianism of one era and older traditions of national self-regard, protectiveness, and prudence of another. Mr. Burns has worked on an enormous canvas. The great world at war is passed in review, but the focus is always on Roosevelt - his brilliant war leadership, the great vision he pursued, the fatal ambivalence that lay at the heart of his strategy for freedom. The narrative moves from the dark days of 1940 and the fight over aid to embattled Britain to day in April 1945 when the President quietly slipped away. This is a triumphant biography, and its concluding volume is written with the grace and power that characterizes Mr. Burn's work. . more information

The author served aboard the Prince Eugen. From the dust jacket: " Gestützt auf englische und deutsche amtliche Quellen sowie auf private Aufzeichnungen gibt der Verfasser, der als Offizier auf dem Kreuzer "Prinz Eugen", einen großen Teil des "Bismarck"-Abenteuers miterlebt hat, einen packenden Tatsachenbericht über Kampf und Untergang des bekannten deutschen Schlachtschiffes. Das Buch ist mit zahlreichen deutschen und englischen Originalaufnahmen und Lageskizzen ausgestattet und den Gefallenen der "Bismarck"-Besatzung gewidmet. Die Schilderung beginnt mit dem Auslaufen der "Bismarck" aus der Ostsee zum Kreuzerkrieg in den Atlantik und führt über die Versenkung des großen englischen Panzerschiffes "Hood" zu der gewaltigen Jagd fast aller englischen Seestreitkräfte auf das deutsche Schlachtschiff bis zu der unglücklichen Steuer-Beschädigung der "Bismarck" durch einen Flugzeug-Torpedotreffer. Ober das Ende des deutschen Schlachtschiffes, das nicht durch britische Granaten und Torpedos, sondern durch Selbstsprengung unterging, sagte der britische Admiral Sir John Tovey: ", Bismarck' hat einen außergewöhnlich tapferen Kampf gegen übermächtige Gegner geführt, würdig der alten Tage der kaiserlich deutschen Marine: sie sank mit wehender Flagge. " Die unzureichende Unterstützung und versuchte Hilfsaktion der deutschen Luftwaffe wird kritisch untersucht, und mit besonderer Anerkennung wird auf den persönlich von General Franco zur Rettungsleistung an den Überlebenden entsandten spanischen Kreuzer "Canaris" hingewiesen. " From the Wikipedia website: "The German battleship Bismarck is one of the most famous warships of the Second World War. The lead ship of her class, she was named after the 19th-century German chancellor Otto von Bismarck. Bismarck's fame came from the Battle of the Denmark Strait in May 1941 (in which the battle cruiser HMS Hood, flagship and pride of the British Royal Navy, was sunk) , from Churchill's subsequent order to "Sink the Bismarck" [1], and from the relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy that ended with her loss only three days later.

Osceola, WI: Motorbooks International. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0879388013 . 240 pages, well illustrated, cloth, DJ, 7 by 10 inches, very good. From the dust jacket: "Within living memory of tens of thousands, the very mention of the Nazi Secret State Police is sufficient to evoke images of power and repression unparalleled in human history. An Illustrated History Of The Gestapo demonstrates in absorbing detail how the Geheime Staats Polizei evolved from its beginnings as a small department of the Prussian State Police under Hermann Goring to become a tangled bureaucracy of terror, operating from the most feared address in the Third Reich - 8 Prinz Albrechtstrasse. Within the Third Reich and ultimately the Nazi occupied countries, the Gestapo was controlled by the baleful firm of Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich, and Heinrich Muller, vivid portraits of whom are drawn in this book. For his engrossing account, Rupert Butler has drawn on archives within Germany itself, unearthing original Gestapo documents. He has also consulted archives in Britain, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Czechoslovakia. One of the most engrossing chapters consists of interviews with survivors of Gestapo interrogation and torture, many of whom tell their remarkable stories for the first time. The twelve-year success of the Gestapo-it survives until the very death throes of the Third Reich -still points its potent moral; the very real danger of allowing those who should be tireless servants of the State to become its cruellest masters. " From Library Journal: "Journalist Butler has written a trivia-rich volume on what was possibly the most terrifying secret police bureaucracy the world has ever known: Nazi Germany's Secret State Police, or Gestapo. Butler bases his research on German archives and Gestapo documents. The bibliography, incorporating both primary and secondary sources, is sparse, though well chosen. Butler outlines the history of the Gestapo and its function throughout the war, and he concludes with 11 accounts of the lives of individuals who survived Gestapo interrogation and torture. Detailed portraits of the Gestapo leadership, e. G. , Heinrich Himmler, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Reinhard Heydrich, are accurately, if somewhat sensationally, treated.

From the dj: In 1933 Heinrich Himmler assembled a group of superbly trained, fiercely loyal soldiers. Bound by an oath of 'obedience unto death' to Adolf Hitler, these men formed the Fuhrer's personal bodyguard--the Schutzstaffel, or SS. The SS grew quickly to become an instrument of Nazi terror. But as war approached, Himmler secured Hitler's approval to form a paramilitary branch of the protection squad--the Waffen-SS. During World War II, detachments of the Waffen-SS spearheaded triumphant military campaigns, supervised the concentration camps, and fought brutal rear-guard actions against partisans in the conquered territories. By the war's end, when the SS numbered over half a million, the runic flash of the double-S had become a symbol of terror throughout Europe for soldiers and civilians alike. Author Rupert Butler has sifted through a vast array of personal accounts, letters, official documents, and trial transcripts. The result is a dramatic chronicle of extraordinary bravery and hideous cruelty; a comprehensive view of the world's most terrible private army and its diabolical architects: Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler. . more information

Series: The Politics and strategy of the Second World War From the editor's introduction: "Numerous books and articles have been written about the weapons, battles, and campaigns of the Second World War, and the problems of command, supply and intelligence ha e been extensively surveyed. Yet, though the fighting has been so fully described from these and other angles, the reasons why the various military operations took place have attracted less study and remain comparatively obscure. It is to fill this gap in the understanding of the Second World War that this series of monographs has been conceived. ~ In each of the volumes in this series an important battle or campaign is assessed with the object of discovering its relationship to the war as a whole, for in asking the question Why was this battle fought? And What effect did it produce? One is raising the issues of the real meaning and character of the war." . more information

From the publisher: For the millions who lived through World War II on home or battle front, the realization alone that more than 30 years have passed since the war's beginning is startling, but to the postwar generation, this century's great war has remained singularly remote. Now Peter Calvocoressi and Guy Wint have at last written its first comprehensive history. Drawing on remembrance, personal experience, and a distinguished record of scholarship and journalism, they have skillfully sifted a massive body of accumulated fact and conflicting interpretation to sketch the background to the war, describe its military progress and political momentum, and examine its often surprising consequences. It was a war of civilians, of ideology, and of technology, as much as of military strength or economic resources, and important sections of Total War deal with the international politics that shaped basic war aims, with the human drama that grew out of personal commitments to resistance or collaboration, and with the broader social and scientific changes which were wrought by or in spite of the war. . more information

From the Wikipedia website: "During World War II, Nuremberg was the headquarters of Wehrkreis (military district) XIII, and an important site for military production, including airplanes, submarines, and tank engines. A subcamp of Flossenbürg concentration camp was located here. Extensive use was made of slave labour. The city was severely damaged in Allied strategic bombing from 1943-1945. On January 2, 1945, the medieval city centre was systematically bombed by the Royal Air Force and the U. S. Army Air Forces and about ninety percent of it was destroyed in only one hour, with 1,800 residents killed and roughly 100,000 displaced. In February 1945, additional attacks followed. In total, about 6,000 Nuremberg residents are estimated to have been killed in air raids. Despite this, the city was rebuilt after the war and was to some extent, restored to its pre-war appearance including the reconstruction of some of its medieval buildings."
