The Franco-British intervention at Narvik, in Norway, in May 1940, passed relatively unnoticed because, at that very moment, Germany was launching its victorious offensive against France. History, for this reason, retains little memory of these battles, which took place beyond the Arctic Circle. By examining these battles in detail, François Gatineau...

The Nazi World - 1919-1945

€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. They knew how to exploit the context of a major crisis — that of 1929 — to subjugate minds and seize power. Power was handed to them,...

Churchill – The Visionary

L20250007
€22.65
Churchill sounded the alarm about German militarism as early as 1908, about the Bolshevik threat from 1919, about the Nazi peril from 1932, about Stalinist imperialism from 1943… His "visions" contributed to making the statesman a "whistleblower," and this biography draws an original portrait of him on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of his birth on...

8 May 1945 marked, after weeks of battles on an enormous scale (the Ardennes, northern Italy, East Prussia, Berlin…), the end of the Second World War. In Europe.

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,...
