【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Semut The Untold Story of a Secret Australian Operation in WWII Borneo【電子書籍】[ Christine Helliwell, Emeritus Professor ]

＜p＞March 1945. A handful of young Allied operatives are parachuted into the remote jungled heart of the Japanese-occupied island of Borneo, east of Singapore, there to recruit the island’s indigenous Dayak peoples to fight the Japanese. Yet most have barely encountered Asian or indigenous people before, speak next to no Borneo languages, and know little about Dayaks, other than that they have been ? and may still be ? headhunters. They fear that on arrival the Dayaks will kill them or hand them over to the Japanese. For their part, some Dayaks have never before seen a white face.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So begins the story of Operation Semut, an Australian secret operation launched by the organisation codenamed Services Reconnaisance Department ? popularly known as Z Special Unit ? in the final months of WWII. Anthropologist Christine Helliwell has called on her years of first-hand knowledge of Borneo, interviewed more than one hundred Dayak people and all the remaining Semut operatives, and consulted thousands of military and other documents to piece together this astonishing story. Focusing on the operation's activities along two of Borneo’s great rivers ? the Baram and Rejang ? the book provides a detailed military history of Semut II’s and Semut III’s brutal guerrilla campaign against the Japanese, and reveals the decisive but long-overlooked Dayak role in the operation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But this is no ordinary history. Helliwell captures vividly the sounds, smells and tastes of the jungles into which the operatives are plunged, an environment so terrifying that many are unsure whether jungle or Japanese is the greater enemy. And she takes us into the lives and cavernous longhouses of the Dayaks on whom their survival depends. The result is a truly unique account of the encounter between two very different cultures amidst the savagery of the Pacific 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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】You're in the Navy Now A teenage recruit sees front-line action in WWII【電子書籍】[ Alan Higgins ]

When Alan Higgins joined the Royal Navy at the outbreak of World War II, he was not yet sixteen years old. But his youth could not save him from the horrors of war and he was soon serving aboard the cruiser HMS Edinburgh. On May 1st 1942, HMS Edinburgh was sunk by a German U-Boat in the icy Barents Sea but Alan miraculously survived. However, this wasn't to be the last of Alan’s troubles and he narrowly escaped death during the bombing of a station in Russia. He experienced more peaceful spells in North America and Bermuda, but most of his war took place in the Mediterranean and he found himself dodging bullets and bombs during the Battle of Anzio in Italy. Later, as a crewman of a landing craft at the Normandy D-Day landings, Alan was forced to saw off a fellow sailor’s shattered leg with a bread knife. Despite the terrible danger, Alan survived the war and has now written You’re in the Navy Now, a richly-descriptive and good-humoured account of his unbelievable years in the Royal Navy.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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】United States Army In WWII - The Pacific - Guadalcanal: The First Offensive [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Samuel Milner ]

＜p＞[Includes 3 charts, 36 maps and 107 illustrations]＜br /＞ "The successes of the South Pacific Force," wrote Admiral Halsey in 1944, "were not the achievements of separate services or individuals but the result of whole-hearted subordination of self-interest by all in order that one successful 'fighting team' could be created." The history of any South Pacific campaign must deal with this "fighting team," with all United States and Allied services. The victory on Guadalcanal can be understood only by an appreciation of the contribution of each service. No one service won the battle. The most decisive engagement of the campaign was the air and naval Battle of Guadalcanal in mid-November 1942, an engagement in which neither Army nor Marine Corps ground troops took any direct part.＜br /＞ This volume attempts to show the contribution of all services to the first victory on the long road to Tokyo. It does not describe all ground, air, and naval operations in detail but it does attempt, by summary when necessary, to show the relationship between air, ground, and surface forces in modern warfare.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Sheer Misery Soldiers in Battle in WWII【電子書籍】[ Mary Louise ]

＜p＞Marching across occupied France in 1944, American GI Leroy Stewart had neither death nor glory on his mind: he was worried about his underwear, which was engaged in a relentless crawl of its own. Similar complaints of physical discomfort pervade infantrymen's memories of the European theater, whether the soldiers were British, American, German, or French. Wet, freezing misery with no end in sightーthis was life for millions of enlisted men during World War II.＜br /＞ ＜em＞Sheer Misery＜/em＞ trains a humane and unsparing eye on the corporeal experiences of the soldiers who fought in Belgium, France, and Italy during the last two years of the war. In the horrendously unhygienic and often lethal conditions of the front line, their bodies broke down, stubbornly declaring their needs for warmth, rest, and good nutrition. Feet became too swollen to march, fingers too frozen to pull triggers; stomachs cramped, and diarrhea stained underwear and pants. Turning away from the accounts of high-level military strategy that dominate many WWII chronicles, acclaimed historian Mary Louise Roberts instead relies on diaries and letters to bring to life visceral sense memories like the moans of the "screaming meemies," the acrid smell of cordite, and the shockingly mundane sight of rotting corpses. As Roberts writes, "For soldiers who fought, the war was above all about their bodies."＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Britain's Airborne Forces of WWII Uniforms and Equipment【電子書籍】[ Mark Magreehan ]

＜p＞The Second World War saw huge advancements in military tactics and technology occurring at an unprecedented pace. One such development was the employment of forces able to deploy at short notice by parachute across the globe, utilizing the opportunities created by the advancements in aeronautical technology. These forces were created to deliver an in-depth shock effect, and few have attracted more attention than Britain's famed Parachute Regiment. This formation was born from the humble beginnings of a fledgling unit drawn together from the British Army and Royal Air Force after Winston Churchill called for a new capability to be created following German airborne successes in the opening stages of the Second World War. Despite being initially poorly equipped, operating outdated aircraft and wearing clothing copied from captured German examples, the Parachute Regiment rapidly grew into what would become two complete airborne divisions ? formations which played a key role in the destruction of the Axis forces. The equipment needed by these men rapidly changed as the war evolved and this is clearly illustrated in the author's fine and unique collection of rare airborne items from that period, several of them being the sole surviving items known to exist. The chronological historical information on Britain's paratroopers' role and development during the Second World War in this highly illustrated book is not only supported by a comprehensive and rare collection of items displaying the development and expansion of their equipment for each operation, but also by hundreds of original pictures which embrace the entire period. Additionally, the book also briefly covers the Polish Parachute Brigade and the Canadian parachute formations embedded into the British order of battle. This book provides a comprehensive pictorial display of Britain airborne forces which will prove to be a 'must have' tool for military history enthusiasts, airborne collectors, re-enactors and modelers, as well as current serving soldiers linked by service to this truly special military formation.＜/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。

＜p＞＜strong＞This illustrated WII history provides a vivid account of the Red Army's devastating offensive against the invading German army.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ In the summer of 1944, the Soviet Army launched Operation Bagration. This massive offensive led to the destruction of the German Army Group Center and was the greatest military defeat ever experienced by the German Army during World War Two. With rare and previously unpublished photographs, this book provides an absorbing insight into one of the most pivotal episodes on the Eastern Front.＜br /＞ With detailed captions and text together with twenty artist profiles and maps, the book shows how German Army Group Center tried to counter the overwhelming assault before it was forced to retreat. But the Russian offensive was so quick that many German units were encircled and destroyed. In a cataclysm bigger than Stalingrad, the Germans lost more than 300,000 men.＜br /＞ Though Operation Bagration was even more devastating to the Germans than the D-Day campaign in Normandy, comparatively little is written about it. This book reveals the lesser-known battle in the East and shows how the German forces fought and lost against overwhelming odds.＜/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。

＜p＞This book covers the bases used during the Second World War by the American fighter units that flew in support of the 8th Air Forces heavy bomber forces.The long-range Lightnings, Thunderbolts and Mustangs escorted the Mighty Eighths Flying Fortresses and Liberators on their deep penetration raids into occupied Europe and Germany. Fighter cover was vital, since the USAAF flew daylight raids and in the early months the number of US aircraft lost to the defending Luftwuffe fighters was unacceptably high.The airfields included are Bodney, Bottisham, Boxted, Debden, Duxford, East Wretham, Fowlmere, Halesworth, Honington, Horsham St. Faith, Kings Cliffe, Leiston, Martlesham Heath, Raydon, Steeple Morden, Wattisham and Wormingford.This book looks at the history and personalities associated with each base, what remains today and explores the favorite local wartime haunts where aircrew and ground crew would have sought well-deserved entertainment and relaxation.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Royal Observer Corps The 'Eyes and Ears' of the RAF in WWII【電子書籍】[ Air Ministry Personnel ]

＜p＞The key roles played by the Royal Observer Corps in the Second World War have, all too often, been overshadowed by more glamourous arms of the defense forces. The teams in the Sector Stations, plotting the battles raging above, and the Spitfires and Hurricanes swooping upon the formations of enemy fighters and bombers, present easily imagined and dramatic scenes. Yet between the radar stations, detecting the German aircraft approaching over the Channel, and the Sector Controls were the little sandbagged posts of the Observer Corps that provided overland tracking of the enemy formations.The Royal Observer Corps (the Royal prefix being approved in 1941) proved a vital link in the communication chain in the defense of the UK, particularly in the Battle of Britain, as it provided the only means of tracking enemy aircraft once they had crossed the coastline. The highly skilled Observers were also able to identify and count the enemy aircraft, turning blips on a screen into actual types and numbers of German machines.Even after the threat from the Luftwaffe receded after the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, the ROC again came to the fore when the V1s opened a new reign of terror in 1944. Because these small, fast weapons were so hard to detect the RAFs fighter controllers moved into the ROCs operations rooms so that they could respond to the V-1 threat more rapidly.In this official history of the ROC written shortly after the war, the corps operations throughout the conflict are set out in great detail. This includes a section on the last flight of Rudolf Hess, as well as one detailing the work of those who were selected for employment as Seaborne Observers on ships during the D-Day landings, where their specialist identification skills were used to prevent the all-too prevalent instances of friendly fire.This history provides an account of the ROC which is just as important in understanding the operations of the corps as the Observers were in the defense of the United Kingdom during the Second 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。

Oboe entailed the pilot flying dead straight and level for ten minutes on the attack run. Suddenly a tremendous flash lit up the sky about 50 yards ahead of our nose and exactly at our altitude. Within a tenth of a second we were through the cloud of dirty yellowish-brown smoke and into the blackness beyond. I shall never forget the spontaneous reaction of both my pilot and myself. We turned our heads slowly and looked long and deep into one another's eyesーno word was spokenーno words were needed.＜/em＞＜br /＞ The Mosquito was probably World War II's most versatile combat aircraft. This book contains hundreds of firsthand accounts from many of the two-man crews who flew in them; pilots and navigators. It portrays the dramatic experiences of flying in its many roles as pathfinder, night fighter, reconnaissance aircraft, precision bombing and low-level ground attack aircraft. It describes many of the RAF's most audacious raids on prime but difficult targets where carpet bombing by heavy bombers was likely to be ineffective and cause unnecessary casualties to civilians.

タイトル: Princes at War: The Bitter Battle Inside Britain's Royal Family in the Darkest Days of WWII著者: Deborah Cadbury出版社: PublicAffairs出版日: 2016年03月08日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。In 1936, the British monarchy faced the greatest threats to its survival in the modern era -- the crisis of abdication and the menace of Nazism. The fate of the country rested in the hands of George V's sorely unequipped sons: a stammering King George VI, terrified that the world might discover he was unfit to rule a dull-witted Prince Henry, who wanted only a quiet life in the army the too-glamorous Prince George, the Duke of Kent -- a reformed hedonist who found new purpose in the RAF and would become the first royal to die in a mysterious plane crash the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII, deemed a Nazi-sympathizer and traitor to his own country -- a man who had given it all up for love Princes at War is a riveting portrait of these four very different men miscast by fate, one of whom had to save the monarchy at a moment when kings and princes from across Europe were washing up on England's shores as the old order was overturned. Scandal and conspiracy swirled around the palace and its courtiers, among them dangerous cousins from across Europe's royal families, gold-digging American socialite Wallis Simpson, and the King's Lord Steward, upon whose estate Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess parachuted (seemingly by coincidence) as London burned under the Luftwaffe's tireless raids. Deborah Cadbury draws on new research, personal accounts from the royal archives, and other never-before-revealed sources to create a dazzling sequel to The King's Speech and tell the true and thrilling drama of Great Britain at war and of a staggering transformation for its monarchy.当店利用時のご注意・当店の商品は原則として、「個人輸入」としての取り扱いになり、アメリカ合衆国から直接お客様のもとへお届けいたします。商品の配送手続きのために、アメリカ合衆国の事業者へお客様の注文情報が提供されます。注文情報の提供について同意いただいた上でご注文ください。アメリカ合衆国の個人情報保護法制等について確認する場合は、こちらのページ「https://corp.rakuten.co.jp/privacy/data-transfers.html」をご参照ください。・関税・輸入消費税が課税される場合があります。・課税額はご注文時には確定しておらず、通関時に確定しますので、商品の受け取り時に着払いでお支払いください。・個人輸入される商品は、全てご注文者自身の「個人使用・個人消費（日本に居住する者に寄贈される物で、当該寄贈を受ける者の個人的な使用に供される場合を含みます。）」が前提となります。第三者への譲渡・転売が法令で禁止されるもの（医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品等を含みますが、これに限られません。）もございますのでご注意下さい。・商品お届けまでに、10日間程度かかります。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Return to the Motherland Displaced Soviets in WWII and the Cold War【電子書籍】[ Seth F. Bernstein ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Return to the Motherland＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞follows those who were displaced to the Third Reich back to the Soviet Union after the victory over Germany.＜/strong＞ At the end of World War II, millions of people from Soviet lands were living as refugees outside the borders of the USSR. Most had been forced laborers and prisoners of war, deported to the Third Reich to work as racial inferiors in a crushing environment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Seth Bernstein reveals the secret history of repatriation, the details of the journey, and the new identities, prospects, and dangers for migrants that were created by the tumult of war. He uses official and personal sources from declassified holdings in post-Soviet archives, more than one hundred oral history interviews, and transnational archival material. Most notably, he makes extensive use of secret police files declassified only after the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine in 2014.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The stories described in ＜em＞Return to the Motherland＜/em＞ reveal not only how the USSR grappled with the aftermath of war but also the universality of Stalinism's refugee crisis. While arrest was not guaranteed, persecution was ubiquitous. Within Soviet society, returnees met with a cold reception that demanded hard labor as payment for perceived disloyalty, soldiers perpetrated rape against returning Soviet women, and ordinary people avoided contact with repatriates, fearing arrest as traitors and spies. As Bernstein describes, Soviet displacement presented a challenge to social order and the opportunity to rebuild the country as a great power after a devastating 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。

＜p＞**二戰後的徳國百廢待舉，成了名符其實的鬼地方。＜br /＞ 為了治療?史的傷，以理性自豪的徳國人，只能求助於怪力亂神的民間偏方。＜/p＞ ＜p＞豐富的田野 × 從未曝光的文獻史料 × 接連不斷的不可思議案件＜br /＞ ＝ 徳國版的靈異治療事件簿**＜/p＞ ＜p＞ 中歐?史學會圖書獎、法蘭克爾獎雙料得主＜br /＞ 深入徳國現代史中最難以言?的?史傷痛，顛覆?我對徳國的想像。＜/p＞ ＜p＞ ★美國印第安那大學?史系副教授夏克勤：這本書才是一般西徳人民經?的戰後徳國史！＜br /＞ ★美國西北大學宗教史教授羅伯．歐爾希：一部震撼人心的社會文化史著作，深刻呼應了我們的時代。＜br /＞ ★《波士頓評論》：本書要求我們將非理性視為現代性的一部分。＜/p＞ ＜p＞ 1949年，一名神祕的男子造訪赫福徳（Herford）小鎮，探視一位無法站立的男童。雖然沒人確知他們之間發生了什麼，但就在那名男子造訪之後，男童第一次靠著自己的力量下床走動。這件事很快傳遍了整個徳國。此後，絡繹不?的民?不辭風雨湧進小鎮，拜訪那位被稱作「赫福徳的奇蹟」的神祕男子。男子名叫布魯諾．葛洛寧（Bruno Gr?ning）ーー人們稱他作「神醫」、「奇蹟治療者」，甚至「彌賽亞」。＜/p＞ ＜p＞ 這麼離奇的事，應該只是無知百姓的迷信?？然而實際上，就連海徳堡大學也對葛洛寧進行了研究，甚至國會也針對他的旋風進行了一番討論。甚至為避免讓更多民?誤信謠言偏方，一些地方政府更祭出從前納粹時期的《民俗治療禁令》來禁止這類醫療行為。葛洛寧的存在不僅挑戰了醫學的界線，更有無數人懷著各異的心思接近他，或更進一?神化他：有失勢的前納粹高官意圖藉他翻身，有地方首長、教會牧師等有頭有臉的人物，還有攝影師、律師、導演、出版人等幕後「造神」團隊。有的人似乎真的被治癒，有的人則精心盤算，企圖利用葛洛寧，從在戰爭中失去一切的命運裡?回一城。＜/p＞ ＜p＞ 究竟這一切是真是假？這個人的出現與同時代類似的狂熱?露了戰後徳國一段人心惶惶、巫術、神醫等事蹟頻傳的?史。種種跡象顯示了徳國人?經戰爭後巨大的心理創傷，但也有不少徳國人將不可告人的過去深埋起來，或是逃避面對罪責，加上國家戰敗的創傷，最終導致一段轉向尋求奇蹟治療的時期。＜/p＞ ＜p＞ 戰爭結束了，時代過去了，受傷的靈魂卻還在原地。一個人可以尋求心理治療，但誰能治療一整個國家?不出口的禁忌？＜/p＞ ＜p＞ 儘管許多?史評價強調徳國在二戰後迅速轉型，可謂當代政治的楷模，但本書從不一樣的角度來探究戰後徳國的轉型之路。而這段路並非我們所想的那麼容易，畢竟在?經戰敗浩劫後，在人們刻意避而不談的?默之中，一種集體壓抑、無處宣洩的罪惡感壟罩徳國。正如作者所?：「面對開不了口的罪惡，或許我們該傾聽鬼魂的聲音。」出沒在這塊土地上的「鬼魂」，則是最好的證人，告訴了我們徳國的集體創傷與痛苦有多深。本書作者莫??．布?克透過民族誌的書寫方式，以從未曝光的剪報與?史?案，講述了一則則離奇的故事，從而重現了戰後徳國的猜疑與恐懼，帶領我們通往那片鬼魂出沒的地方。＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞本書特色＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞** 透過未曾公開的?史?案，重建一段鮮為人知的?史**＜br /＞ 讀過那麼多歐洲當代史的我們，早已十分熟悉納粹徳國的惡行，也知道戰後徳國如何在政治與經濟上快速地恢復生機，但很少人知道在這段「先?敗，後振作」的徳國當代史中，處處充滿著魔幻詭異的審巫案件、幾百起以上的神蹟見證事件，以及神祕難解的超信仰治療的成功案例。作者透過地方上未曾公開過的?案，重新還原了那個光鮮亮麗的徳國社會其背後深藏的不安與恐懼。＜/p＞ ＜p＞** 在?史中所受的心靈之傷該如何治療？人類為何會尋求超自然的拯救？**＜br /＞ 綜觀?史，我們不難發現許多人類社群在?經災變（不論自然還是人為）之後，往往都會活在恐懼與不安之中好長一段時間。也正是在這個時候，人類的精神與?心變得脆弱不堪，亟欲找尋救命的稻草。例如日本311震災後，當地開始有災民透過超自然的方式找尋因災害而失蹤亡故的親友。為此Netflix還曾製作紀?片簡短討論這種靈異現象發生的成因。然而令我們更好奇的是，究竟人類在經?了那麼嚴重的心理創傷後，會尋求什麼樣的方式來療傷？對於災害頻傳的臺灣社會而言，這本書將提供一個頗具新意的思考角度。＜/p＞ ＜p＞** 一本充滿民族誌風格的?史書：是?野怪談，還是確有其事？**＜br /＞ 本書作者大量採用徳國地方政府的案件紀?，包括地方報紙新聞、口述案件?案、私人日記與信件，書寫徳國地方的風俗與性格。本書也記述了許多神醫、信仰治療師、（那些被人指控為）巫師、神蹟見證者、迷信破除者，以及民俗學者對當時種種超自然現象的解讀與親身故事，讀來既有田野民族誌的既視感，也揉合著?史書生動有趣的故事性。＜/p＞ ＜p＞** 本書提供我們不同於以往徳國近代轉型正義的視角**＜br /＞ 坊間常見有關徳國戰後的轉型與重建議題的書籍，大多聚焦於轉型正義這類大規模、公共的社會工程，諸如政府透過種種舉措以彌補或賠償二戰受害者，例如建立受害者紀念碑、抹除納粹相關符碼、積極補償戰爭損失、釐清戰爭責任等。然而除了從政府主導的轉型正義之外，仍有許多轉型正義的工作是出自於徳國民?個人?心的一些自發行為而來的。例如本書所提到的，因罪惡與羞恥而訴諸於靈魂的治療、重新辨明是非對錯、?望過去的罪行得到寛恕等。這種從個人乃至社會的視角來看待徳國人在戰後的行為與心態，勢必在轉型正義的議題上能提供我們更不一樣的視角。＜/p＞ ＜p＞** 第一本從信仰治療、巫術、靈魂醫學的角度探討集體創傷的書**＜br /＞ 無論是否有人真正實行巫術或看到聖母顯靈，也無論是否有人真的從超自然信仰治療中重新恢復健康，至少這些親身見證都讓信仰治療、巫術與靈魂醫學重新回到大?的視野之中，也讓我們進一?思考這些「治療」背後究竟意味著什麼？何以在戰後徳國的時空背景下大量發生這類案件？其成因又是什麼？究竟治療的是身體的傷，還是心靈的傷？透過本書，我們得以窺見一整個民族集體創傷的治癒過程與意義。＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Forgotten Ghost Soldiers of Wwii “Rakkasan” 187Th Infantry Regiment Company C.【電子書籍】[ John A. Eisler Jr. ]

＜p＞My father would always read to me or tell me stories from a picture book so one day when I was young I asked him to draw me a picture and tell me a war story. I enlisted in the military because these terrible men were trying to hurt my friends and family. They would make them walk on long marches then lock them up like caged animals. They would lock up everyone in their family even the little girls. Being one of the best hunters I was selected to serve on a team with men from other countries and travel all around the world helping free these people. One time we were dropped off in a little rubber boat to paddle our way to an island during the biggest storm ever. The wind and rain were blowing and the waves made it almost impossible to stay inside the boat. We went in to hunt down the bad guys like Daniel Boone or David Crocket. We were the unknown men with no faces or name tags that silently moved through the night being known for civil war tactics as the advance unit of Ghost Soldiers. We had to live off of the land eating whatever we could find like berries, fruit, or hunting the animals. We would throw hand grenades into the water that would bring up the snakes, alligators, fish or whatever was living in the water. The islands were the most beautiful places in the world with all the green plants and the most beautiful flowers and colored birds. We freed the people that were taken prisoner and one camp there was a beautiful young girl by the name of Virginia and she is the person I named you after. The dream of someday having a daughter of my own that I could love and protect gave me the willpower needed in combat.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Let the Kicking Mule Kick Personal Stories from a WWII B-26 Bomber Pilot to His Family【電子書籍】[ Keith A. Horn ]

＜p＞"Let The Kicking Mule Kick" is a unique, two-perspective, historical memoir. The words of First Lieutenant Ladd L. Horn will draw you into his world and his experiences as a WWII, B-26 bomber pilot. Through his fascinating stories, letters and more than three hundred of his original pictures your mind will be directed to the people, animals, places and machines of war in North Africa, Sardinia, Corsica and France. This is no "boring" history book filled with facts about generals, divisions and politics. Instead, it is real, funny and sad. In "Part 1 The War As I Heard It" the verbatim oral stories he told our family when he was in his nineties, incorporate the seasoned perspective that comes from remembering events after seventy-plus years. Then the hundreds of stories excerpted from his letters in "Part II The War Through The Lens of Love," explode with the raw emotions and insights of a twenty-one to twenty-three-year-old caught up in training and war. You will hear funny stories of crew members, dogs and kids, and even of pilots who forgot to buckle their seatbelts during training, "flew backwards," landed in farmer's fields or went off the runway and hit a horse. But you will also learn something of what it was like to buckle up in a 38,000 pound machine filled with bombs and six to eight crew members with the roar of two 2,000 hp engines outside the uninsulated cockpit and fly for hours at 10,000 to 18,000 feet in temperatures below zero with flak and 88 mm shells bursting around you while accompanied by the twin, very-real fears of being shot down or running out of fuel. And, you will hear first-person stories of what it was like to lose planes and friends. But what is so fascinating in this memoir is that the stories are all illustrated with pictures that 1st Lieutenant Ladd Horn took and developed, sometimes under a blanket, in a mess kit and helmet in his tent. The pictures are often combined with military documents that complete the picture of the reality of life during war. Sometimes as you read, you will likely forget that these stories are real. I wrote this book for his great-grandchildren and to my surprise, I have had them "fighting" over who gets to read next!＜/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。

＜p＞＜strong＞First in the Aces High seriesーa military reference of the fighter pilots who had five or more confirmed victories while serving in the Royal Air Force.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Introduced by the French quite early in World War I, the term "ace" was used to describe a pilot credited with five or more aerial victories.

There are three distinct kinds of aces: the defensive ace, the offensive ace, and the night fighter.＜br /＞ This book is a revised collection of the biographies of the highest scoring Allied fighter pilots of World War IIーincluding those with the confirmed claims of shooting down five aircraft and those pilots with lower scores but whose wartime careers prove them worthy of inclusion.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Brookwood Killers Military Murderers of WWII【電子書籍】[ Paul Johnson ]

＜p＞Nestled deep in the Surrey countryside stands the Brookwood 1939-1945 Memorial. Maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, its panels contain the names of nearly 3,500 men and women of the land forces of Britain and the Commonwealth who died in the Second World War and who have no known grave. Among the men and women who names are carved on the memorial are Special Operations Executive agents who died as prisoners or while working with Allied underground movements, servicemen killed in the various raids on enemy occupied territory in Europe, such as Dieppe and Saint-Nazaire, men and women who died at sea in hospital ships and troop transports, British Army parachutists, and even pilots and aircrew who lost their lives in flying accidents or in aerial combat. But the panels also hide a dark secret. Entwined within the names of heroes and heroines are those of nineteen men whose last resting place is known, and whose deaths were less than glorious. All were murderers who, following a civil or military trial, were executed for the heinous offence they had committed. The bodies of these individuals, with the exception of one, lay buried in un-consecrated ground. As Paul Johnson reveals, the cases of the 'Brookwood Killers' are violent, disturbing and often brutal in their content. They are not war crimes, but crimes committed in a time of war, for which the offender has their name recorded and maintained in perpetuity. Something that is not always applied in the case of the victim.＜/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。
