Da Tyskland invaderer Polen i 1939, befinder Marta og hendes spejdertrop sig på et meget prekært sted, tæt på grænsen, og det eneste hendes far kan finde på, er at sørge for at hun straks bliver bragt i sikkerhed i et kloster langt fra Warszawa.
Hvad faderen naturligvis ikke havde drømt om, er, at intet sted i Polen er sikkert, og da slet ikke for datteren af en officer.
Der går ikke mange måneder, før Hitlers nye "ven", Stalin, begynder at sende potentielle modstandere i arbejdslejr, og kan man ikke få fat i officeren, må man nøjes med datteren.
Det bliver for Marta og de venner, hun får i arbejdslejren i Sibirien, begyndelsen til fem forfærdelige år, hvor eneste chance for overlevelse afhænger af sammenhold og en overmåde stærk selvopholdelsesdrift. Fra arbejdslejren går turen over et landbrugskollektiv til flygtningelejre i Iran, og der møder Marta sin skæbne i form af en charmerende iransk læge og en polsk løjtnant.
Med forord af Claus Bundgård Christensen. Bogen er en genudgivelse af Danske soldaterbreve samlede og udgivne af Harald Nielsen første og anden samling 1917 og 1918. 302 sider, heftet, nærmest som ny.
The dilemma of the young Italian kingdom and the experience of her army in World War I (1914-1918) were unique among the combatant nations. Late to enter the war against the Central Powers, she faced a massively defended Austro-Hungarian front in the north, including strong mountain features, as well as distractions in the Balkans and a simultaneous rebellion in her Libyan colony. Costly and repeated battles on the Isonzo front culminated in the disaster of Caporetto in October 1917, followed by a remarkable revival and eventual victory in 1918. This concise study describes and illustrates the Italian Army's campaigns, organisation, uniforms, weapons and equipment – including the famous 'death companies' and Arditi assault troops. 48 pages, Illustrated, soft cover, very good, cover yellowed.

In the Bosnian town of Sarajevo on the morning of June 28, 1914, a chauffeur misunderstood his instructions, made the wrong turn, tried too late to correct his blunder, and in so doing, delivered his passengers to a point where a waiting assassin did not have to take aim to gun them down. Two rounds from one pistol and the world rocked. The crime was the small stone that loosened brings the avalanche.” So begins Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall’s compelling narrative of the American Heritage History of World War I, a book that tells the story of the Great War from Sarajevo to Versailles. Ten million men died; another 20 million were wounded. But it was not the numbers alone that made this the Great War. The flame thrower, the tank, and poison gas were introduced. Cavalry became obsolete; air combat and submarine warfare came of age. Old dynasties disintegrated; new nations appeared. In this book, renowned military historian Marshall, a World War I veteran, describes and analyzes the origins, course, and immediate aftermath of the colossal conflict. The story begins with a look backward at a complacent world ensnared in a network of alliances. Out of this setting emerged the cunning diplomats and statesmen who maneuvered and blundered their countries into positions that made the war inevitable. Once committed, the nations of Europe aligned into two, mighty opposing forces, and went jauntily into war, each confident that the conflict would be over before it really began. Marshall follows the personalities, strategies, errors, and the unremitting slaughter of the next four years. The story ends with the ill-conceived Treaty of Versailles, which sowed the seeds that would plunge the following generation into another world war.
Decades ahead of the amusing but distorting buffoonery of Blackadder Goes Forth, this complete edition of the Wipers Times, the famed trench newspaper of the First World War, is an extraordinary mix of black humour, fake entertainment programmes and pastiche articles, and constitutes a unique record of life on the wartime frontline. From its long-running cartoon pun (Are We Being Offensive Enough?) to its brilliantly subversive column Things We Want to Know (the name of the officer who originated the idea), its hilarious spoof ads to its pastiche fake contributors (Belary Helloc), this complete facsimile edition of the Wipers Times, produced to accompany the BBC dramatization, is a historical masterpiece that enables us to sample the real spirit of the trenches . . . from the safety of our armchairs. If you can drink the beer the Belgians sell you, And pay the price they ask with ne'er a grouse, If you believe the tales that some will tell you, And live in mud with ground sheet for a house, If you can live on bully and a biscuit, And thank your stars that you've a tot of rum, Dodge whizzbangs with a grin, and as you risk it Talk glibly of the pretty way they hum. . . 332 pages, Hard cover, very good
