After the war in Italy ended, the Allies assessed the situation, cooperated closely, and carefully formulated the final strategy for launching a general offensive against Nazi Germany. From Tehran to Rome, the heads of allied countries held a series of compact and productive meetings, which promoted the final victory of the war and roughly determined the division of the post-war world map. At the same time, in Yugoslavia, Greece, Burma and other places, the war is still arduously continuing, but the dawn of victory has begun to appear in the sky.

In this book, the author tells the story of how, as Prime Minister, First Chancellor of the Exchequer, Defense Minister and Leader of the House of Commons in the early days of World War II, when Germany launched a fatal attack on Britain, in the absence of external assistance, he led the British people to fight bravely and jointly passed through the most difficult period of the war. During this period, although the British people were isolated and helpless, they always held on to the fortress and tenaciously resisted the air attacks of German aircraft day and night. The situation in North Africa is even less optimistic, and the Italians are taking the opportunity to continue to encroach on North African countries. Under this situation, the British government actively sought support from the United States, Spain and other countries in an attempt to jointly fight against the further expansion of fascism.

1915 was the second phase of the First World War. France and Britain launched the Battle of Champagne, the Battle of Artois, the Battle of Ypres, and the Battle of Los Loos. In the face of new weapons - machine guns and powerful artillery - the dominant traditional military thinking - frontal attack, charge and fight, and repel the enemy's defense line - became ineffective. The Western Front achieved nothing except a life-consuming battle, and the war reached a stalemate. The British invented tanks and used smoke screens, making only limited progress. The British Navy had control of the sea, but its commander was conservative in thinking and ineffective in naval warfare, so no positive results were achieved. In this volume, Churchill made the strategic decision to attack the Dardanelles, which had a decisive impact on the combination of international forces and the entire war. However, due to the lack of understanding and weak support from most military leaders, the war opportunities were repeatedly delayed, and good opportunities to secure victory were missed more than ten times, and finally ended in failure. The Allies were in crisis.

The First World War began on July 28, 1914 and ended on November 11, 1918. It was a world war that mainly occurred in Europe but affected the whole world. The course of the war was mainly a battle between the Allies and the Entente. Countries such as Germany and Austria-Hungary belonged to the Allied Powers camp, while Britain, France, Russia and Italy belonged to the Allied Powers camp. The war was one of the most destructive in European history. The war resulted in heavy casualties and serious economic losses. The author, Churchill, held an important position in the British government and was directly involved in many events in the First World War. He described this tragic war to readers as an eyewitness and relied on a large amount of detailed and reliable first-hand information. Churchill begins by analyzing the causes of the war and details the development of the war on each front (Eastern Front, Western Front, and Southern Front) until the signing of the post-war "Versailles Peace Treaty" to achieve temporary peace, showing readers a panoramic view of this European war. The Second World War was a global military conflict that broke out from 1939 to 1945. The entire war involved most countries in the world and was eventually divided into two opposing military alliances - the Allies and the Axis Powers. This war was the largest war in history and the deadliest war in human history. The author Churchill recreates the wartime atmosphere and makes readers feel like they are personally there. His heart-shaking speeches, ability to lead the overall situation, and decisiveness in seizing opportunities are all reflected in the book. The book has compact language and detailed content, making it the first choice for readers to understand the history of World War II.

This book describes how from September 3, 1939 to May 10, 1940, Nazi Germany used mediation in various countries to cover up people's eyes, and under Hitler's instigation, launched a series of activities to annex Central and Northern Europe and other countries, thus paving the way for Germany's eventual invasion of France and the United Kingdom. The author details the fall of Poland, the battle conditions on the French front, and the ravages of the Nordic countries. In addition, as the British Lord of the Admiralty at the time, the author keenly observed the importance of naval warfare in the upcoming war. Therefore, relevant equipment and personnel were carefully prepared in advance, and he also specifically mentioned the importance of magnetic mines in naval warfare. The author gives a thorough description of the haze that permeated Europe due to Nazi Germany's "tyranny" in the early days of the war, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the real scene of the "dark and unclear war".

This book describes the magnificent history before the Allied forces were about to achieve total victory in the late World War II: the successful convening of the Yalta Conference, the Soviet Red Army's march to Berlin, the defeat and surrender of German fascism, the friction between the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, the United States dropping two atomic bombs on Japan and the impact of the Potsdam Proclamation. At the same time, it also shows the complex and subtle relationships within the Allies. Although a series of international conferences established a new order, the barriers and contradictions between the Western world and the Soviet Union have never been eliminated. The world was ruthlessly divided into two halves by the "Iron Curtain".

This book describes Japan's aggression against relevant countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim in the middle of World War II, as well as the different responses of the United States and Britain to this. After long preparations, Japan launched a comprehensive war of aggression in the Asia-Pacific region, causing the United States to pay a heavy price in the Pacific battlefield and causing Britain to suffer huge losses in Southeast Asia. At that time, the world situation was entering an extremely anxious period. From China to Myanmar, from Malta to Madagascar, everyone was involved in this unpredictable melee. In addition, the book also reflects the key role China played in resisting Japanese aggression.

This book takes the dangerous "Operation Torch" as an entry point and details the tragic war in which the Allied forces landed in North Africa from 1942 to 1943, captured Tunisia, and annihilated the Axis African Corps. From their high spirits when they luckily landed in Morocco and Algiers, to their panic when they advanced into Tunisia and fought a fierce battle with the ferocious and experienced German army, the Allied forces found that they were not prepared for battle at all: logistical chaos, military misjudgments, competition for command, The British and American armies fought on their own... North Africa became a testing ground. The raid on Judeid, the Battle of Kesselring Pass, and the decisive battle in Tunisia were bloody battles one after another, tempering the Allied forces, especially the fledgling U. S. Army, into a tiger and wolf army! The book vividly describes the many protagonists who emerged on the battlefield: Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Montgomery, Rommel, Kesselring... Whether they are generals galloping on the battlefield to kill decisively, soldiers who kill coldly to survive, or ordinary people who are like ants in the flames of war, the wars written by Atkinson appear particularly real and terrifying! When Rommel was defeated, the North African Campaign finally produced countless elite soldiers and valuable combat experience for the landing in Sicily and Normandy, and the liberation of the European continent!

Broken city walls and desolate islands, if it weren't for the flames of war, few people would notice these desolate places. Behind the bustling cities, sunny beaches, busyness and ease, who would have thought that every inch of land used to be fought over here? Walk into a period of history and feel the war and iron horses of the past; step into the battlefield of the past and understand what a battleground is.

If the fierce fighting on the European battlefield is a historical drama, then the North African campaign is the first act of this drama. Here, the British Empire was reduced to a vassal in the Anglo-American alliance, the Axis soldiers lost confidence in their officers and were unwilling to fight, while the United States showed its edge and became the leading force in the world. This book sets a monument to this forgotten history. It uses the dangerous Operation Torch as an entry point to sort out the tragic war between November 1942 and May 1942 when the Allied forces landed in French Morocco and Algeria, captured Tunisia, and annihilated the Axis African Corps. The newly formed Allied Forces were originally mired in disorganized logistical supplies, power struggles among allies, and endless military miscalculations. However, after experiencing the Judeid surprise attack, the tragic defeat at Kesselin Pass and the decisive battle at the Tunisian bridgehead, the US military who rushed into battle finally learned to hate and how to defeat the battlefield-hardened enemy. The author not only vividly describes Eisenhower, Patton, Montgomery and other outstanding commanders in North Africa, but also compassionately depicts the soldiers who fell in a pool of blood before they could draw their guns, the civilians who were ravaged in the war, and the miserable prisoners whose lives were cut off. Atkinson's realistic and terrifying North African battlefield tells the world that World War II is not a biography of a saint. Even though heroes and sages emerge in endlessly, there are also rats, fools and corrupt degenerates.

This book combs the timeline from the Allied landings in Sicily to the final capture of Rome, depicts the magnificent Italian campaign, and tells countless heroic stories of "dying for freedom." Although the decision to attack Italy was highly controversial, once the operation began, the Allied forces' determination to liberate Italy never wavered: the rallying horns accompanied by the rushing waves sent the assault boats to the golden coast of Sicily, the roaring steel chariot tracks rolled over the solid defense lines of the Salerno plain, and the roaring fighter planes dropped overwhelming and rain-like bombs at the Port of Taranto... In Atkinson's writing, a picture of majestic and tragic combination slowly unfolds. The overwhelmed Eisenhower, the fearless but conceited Mark Clark, the genius Patton, the paranoid and ruthless Churchill, the strategizing Cunningham, the embattled Mussolini... From generals to soldiers, from politicians to civilians, the trajectories of countless lives converged and burned in this period of history. This was an epic battle for the European continent between the Third Reich and its rebels, and it was the first shot to dismantle the Axis powers' European defenses. When Mark Clark finally "conquered" Rome, the last obstacle before D-Day had been removed - and the end of the Third Reich was near.

Military knowledge has endless charm. It shows the beauty of power, technology and strategy. The Mongolian cavalry galloping across Europe and Asia, the heroic Greek heavy infantry, the Macedonian phalanx with a forest of spears, the unstoppable British longbow, the graceful medieval knights, and the rebellious Cossack cavalry are full of romance and aesthetics, arousing the endless imagination of today's people. Hannibal was glorious despite his defeat

The global capital market has brought changes, opportunities, innovation, and hope to Delhi, but it has also brought about a real estate market and medical system dominated by money, endless violent crimes, abuse of nature and the environment, a dysfunctional administrative system and corruption, coupled with the racial problems that have existed since the partition of India and Pakistan. Delhi residents in the 21st century are facing increasingly severe challenges. No matter the rich, the middle class, scavengers, or criminals, no one is immune to this contradiction between destruction and creation. As a second-generation immigrant from India to the UK, Dasgupta returned to the land of his ancestors with a feeling of both intimacy and curiosity. Through his own observations and interviews with residents of Delhi, he intertwined the history of Delhi with the present with a novelist's vivid writing, leaving an objective record of the alienation and cruelty under the tide of urban development. Today, when capitalism and globalization are sweeping the world, Delhi, which is flooded with money capital, is both the common past and the inevitable future of many cities.

Neighbors are like a mirror, reflecting an unfamiliar self. Japan's well-known historical classic takes you into Japan beyond the "Chrysanthemum" and "Sword". This is a unique treatise on Japan, as well as a historical summary of interesting anecdotes and strange stories about Japan and China throughout the ages. Chen Shun-chen, a Chinese-Japanese writer, wandered between two hometowns and two cultures throughout his life. His status as a marginalized person allowed him to accept the shackles of fate. It also allowed him to use his unique life experience and vivid "compound eyes" perspective to see the differences and overlaps in the historical traditions of the two countries, and thus wrote essays on Chinese and Japanese culture that are full of witty words and full of humor. He returned from the distant ancient times to the cultural junction between China and Japan in the modern era, wandering freely between history and reality; with a "suicide note" mood, he wanted to write down the reasons that hindered mutual understanding between China and Japan. Getting to know your neighbors again is also a way of looking at yourself in detail. We are neighbors - we complement each other, it's destiny.

"Notes on Okinawa" written by Kenzaburo Oe is a long essay in which the author attempts to think about the following questions: How did the modern country called "Japan" come into being? As a result of modernization, what kind of existence does it have in the world, especially in neighboring countries? Is it really powerful? Have the Japanese truly learned the tragic lessons of their defeat? Therefore, the author turned his focus to Okinawa. How did the country called Ryukyu become incorporated into Japan? The author writes about the relationship between Okinawa and the people of Okinawa Prefecture and Japan and the Japanese in the modern history of Japan, especially the Battle of Okinawa in which Okinawa, Japan's only ground battlefield, was attacked by the United States during Japan's war of aggression. He also discussed the postwar survival of Okinawa as a U. S. Military base and the residents of Okinawa Prefecture returned by the United States. In the book, the author constantly asks: "What is a Japanese? Can you turn yourself into a Japanese who is not that Japanese?" This "bleak introspection" has been criticized by the Japanese political right as a "self-abuse" view of history. "Okinawa Notes" and therefore was pushed to the court.

We live in a new era of peace and development, with new situations and new problems emerging one after another. It is the responsibility of our generation of historians to answer the difficult questions raised by history and reality and to continuously seek new answers to build a harmonious society and a harmonious world. Stavrianos, the author of "General History of the World," famously argued that "the new world needs new historiography." He believes that "each era must write its own history. Not because the previous history was not written correctly, but because each era will face new problems, generate new questions, and seek new answers. This is self-evident today when the speed of change is increasing exponentially. Therefore, we urgently need a history that raises new questions and gives new answers." Drawing useful wisdom and knowledge from reality from the experience provided by history has always been the historiography and central theme of each era.

The term "Hellenism" is often used to describe a world in which Greek was the universal language. Greeks moved in droves south and east to establish new colonies, or joined mercenary armies in search of wealth, convinced of their status as members of the new ruling class. Discord and conflict inevitably arose as local people and cultures became involved in this creeping Hellenization. Using extensive primary sources, the author examines political events from the death of Alexander to the incorporation of the Hellenistic world into the Roman Empire. He also examines the world's different social institutions and customs, important developments in literature, science, and technology, and the founding of new religious movements. This book is divided into twelve chapters: historical materials of the Hellenistic period, succession to Alexander, monarchy and monarchical concepts, formation of Hellenistic kingdoms, Ptolemaic Egypt, Syria and the East, Macedonia and Greece. The previous chapters focus on specific areas and aspects of the Hellenistic world and the lives of the people in this world. The following chapters 10 to 12 turn mainly to factual narratives.

"The Collision of History: 1493" is a classic work that uses an alternative ecological perspective to interpret globalization and world history over the past 500 years. The author has visited various continents in Asia, Europe and the United States, citing the research results of ecologists, anthropologists, archaeologists and historians. He continues to challenge Eurocentrism and focuses on how the ecological collision between Europe and the Americas has substantially changed one aspect of human history. It answers our confusion about the destiny of mankind and the globalization of social development, and fundamentally explains the roots of the industrial revolution, malaria, and political disputes (immigration, trade policy, and culture wars). "The Collision of History: 1493" is both historical and inspiring, breaking the stereotypes of globalization in historical research and teaching. In current history textbooks, there are only a few sentences describing the event of Columbus landing on the American continent, and even less introduction to the history of the American continent. In Charles Mann's writing, Columbus landed on the American continent in 1492, which can be called the source of current globalization problems. It was one of the important events after the extinction of the dinosaurs. The "Columbian Exchange" brought about chaotic exchanges and collisions between the mysterious American continent and other independent continents - American independence and malarial mosquitoes, British Industrial Revolution and Amazon rubber, American silver and the intensification of the demise of the Ming Dynasty... Various seemingly unrelated events contain close connections. It was these events that accelerated the formation of the modern world. Teenagers will discover new perspectives on world history, and adult readers will also rethink the reasons for the stalemate of globalization.

In the 1880s, as European powers carved up Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized the vast land around the Congo River. He carried out genocidal plunder and oppression in the Congo. At the same time, he established himself as a great humanitarian. Hochschild used a large number of original sources when writing this book: memoirs of explorers, steamship captains and soldiers, missionary records, government investigation reports, etc. Although few African voices appear in the book, as the author puts it, "their activities and voices can still be seen and heard, although filtered by the records of their conquerors."

"Southeast Asia: The Discovery of a Multi-Civilization World (Kodansha·Rise and Fall of the World History 06)" Southeast Asia, sandwiched between China and India, always seems to have half-hidden faces. Chinese, Indian, Arab, European and American... Civilizations from all over the world collide and intersect here, but beneath the diverse appearance is the local life that remains unchanged and lives in harmony with nature. This multi-civilization world with non-linear development may be the choice for future human development. Professor Yoshiaki Ishizawa has studied the history of Southeast Asia for more than 50 years. Starting from the ruins and inscriptions, he reconstructed the entire history of the Angkor Dynasty, showing the daily necessities of ordinary people in Southeast Asia, as well as their unique spiritual culture.

During World War II, facing the powerful Nazi war machine, Britain had to find ways to weaken the enemy. The author of this book, Giles Milton, uses vivid descriptions to describe several wonderful sneak attacks and assassinations carried out by the British army outside the main battlefields of World War II. With the support of Churchill, several typical British gentlemen planned and led these completely ungentlemanly actions, despite the opposition of the old-fashioned people in the army and government who insisted on tradition. They invented new weapons, established schools for training guerrillas, and transported explosives to the resistance organizations in the occupied areas... These secret fighters who did not belong to the conventional army made a huge contribution to the final victory of the war.

A popular introductory book on the "World War I", a classic work by an Oxford University professor and consultant to the Thatcher government, it provides a clear picture of the "World War I" in more than 200 pages. Entering the 20th century, the great development of science and technology has led politicians, intellectuals, and ordinary people to believe that the world is progressing and science will save mankind. "World War I" emerged from such prosperity and progress. The civil war in Europe, the leader of world civilization, continued, and then evolved into a world war. Facts have proven that the apparent prosperity is nothing more than an illusion. After the war broke out, another illusion people had was that the war would be short-lived.

From being devastated by the artillery fire of the Thirty Years' War to trying to control the world during the Third Reich, Germany followed a winding path under different rulers. We cannot help but ask: How do political decision-makers in Germany and around the world understand and use the power in their hands, and under the guidance of what concepts do they make decisions to determine the fate of the country and influence the development process of the world? In order to answer this extraordinary question, German history expert Christopher Clark ingeniously grasped the philosophical incision of "time consciousness" and used four shapers of German history, namely Elector Friedrich Wilhelm, Friedrich II, Bismarck and Hitler as research samples, to conduct a groundbreaking interpretation of the issue of "the relationship between the power of those in power and their time consciousness." Time consciousness relates to a country's past, present and future: drawing lessons and strength from past history, presupposing possible future crises and changes, and guiding current decisions and actions to achieve one's own political goals are the basic thinking logic of national political decision-makers. From a vast sea of ​​historical materials, Clark extracts information such as the personal experiences, historical background, speeches, and political actions of Friedrich Wilhelm, Friedrich II, Bismarck, and Hitler. With thoughtful and passionate writing, Clark reveals the answers to questions such as how decision-makers understand and use the concept of time, the interaction between power and time, and the impact of time consciousness on the internal affairs and diplomacy of major powers.
