  • - Military Contributions of African Americans
    af Robert Harris
    183,95 kr.

    I have always been a fan of history, especially military history. However, I have found that the military history of African Americans in the defense of America has had very little written about it, and in some cases, their deeds and accomplishment were completely omitted. This book is a brief look at some of their accomplishments. Americans of every race should remember and take pride in the courage of Crispus Attucks at the Boston Massacre, the bravery of Peter Salem at the Battle of Bunker Hill, the unselfish sacrifices of John R. Fox on December 26, 1944, at the Italian village of Sommocolonia, and the heroic deed of Dorie Miller aboard the USS West Virginia on December 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor. When we remember these acts of courage, devotion to duty, and paying the ultimate sacrifice, we realize that the African American's military contributions goes far beyond digging ditches and serving meals aboard ships. It is my hope that the readers of this book will be encouraged to explore more information on America's history. America's history includes all Americans.

Paul von Hartmann is on the staff of the German Foreign Office--and secretly a member of the anti-Hitler resistance. The two men were friends at Oxford in the 1920s, but have not been in contact since. Now, when Hugh flies with Chamberlain from London to Munich, and Hartmann travels on Hitler's train overnight from Berlin, their paths are set on a disastrous collision course. And once again, Robert Harris gives us actual events of historical importance--here are Hitler, Chamberlain, Mussolini, Daladier--at the heart of an electrifying, unputdownable novel.

    Stedet er Rom, og tiden er cirka år 60 f.Kr. Forskellige magtfulde mænd kæmper om magten i republikken. Dette er historien om virkelige historiske personer, deres alliancer og forræderi, deres grusomheder og forbrydelser. I en alder af 48 sidder Cicero, politiker, konsul og sin tids største taler, i eksil. Ved at love at støtte Cæsar - hans unge, ubarmhjertige rival - får han lov til at vende tilbage til Rom. Derfra kæmper han sig vej tilbage til indflydelse; først i retssalene, så i Senatet og siden i sine magtfulde skriverier, indtil han for en kort, men glorværdig stund er den mest fremtrædende statsmand i byen. Men ingen offentlig person, uanset hvor klog eller snu han er, kan se sig fri for at blive berørt af andres skruppelløse ambitioner og konspirationer. DIKTATOR beskriver på indlevende og spændende vis nogle af de mest skelsættende begivenheder i gammel tid: det romerske imperiums kollaps, den efterfølgende borgerkrig og mordet på Julius Cæsar. Men det evige dilemma forbliver dette: hvordan holder man politisk frihed adskilt fra personlige ambitioner, udefrakommende interesser og den altødelæggende effekt af fremmede krige. I Robert Harris’ portræt forsøger Cicero at besvare dette spørgsmål i både tanke og handling og bliver en helt i både sin egen og vor tid. Afslutningen på trilogien efter IMPERIUM og LUSTRUM. Kan læses selvstændigt.
