The Nazi World - 1919-1945

L20250009
€26.07
On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of the Reich. Since 1919 and the trauma of the Great War, the Nazis had developed a worldview whose only originality lay in its racist coherence and utopian impetus.

The Marines - History of an American Myth

L20250005
€24.64
This work allows the reader to discover the rich history of an elite corps that has become inescapable yet remains almost entirely unknown. Indeed, no one in France is familiar with its first hundred and fifty years before 1918 and the Battle of Belleau Wood; no one knows that it was initially scorned, mocked for its mediocre performance, cut back,...
