Darman, Peter: Heroic Voices of the Spanish Civil War - Memories from the International Brigades
Book Number: 51116
New Holland Publishers November 25, 2009 8vo Hardcover in d/w. 256pp near fine. Index. 1 April 2009, is the 70th anniversary of the end of the Spanish Civil War, a war that inspired thousands of men and women to fight Fascism in Spain, but one that has since been overshadowed in history by the Second World War. Men and women from every strata of society and from around 50 countries were inspired to volunteer and risk their lives fighting, nursing and reporting for the Republicans in Spain. But what drew so many to fight this cause that was not their own and how did this war capture the passion of so many? And, most importantly, what were the experiences of those who fought as part of the International Brigades in this vicious battle of ideals between communism and Franco's Fascism? This fascinating book reveals through volunteers' own words the circumstances that combined to unite men and women from across the world as anti-Fascists in Spain. "Heroic Voices of the Spanish Civil War" brings together a collection of interviews and writings from the members of the International Brigades. Based on original and previously unpublished interviews from the Imperial War Museum's sound archives and other first-hand accounts from surviving members, Peter Darman's book resounds with the voices of those who felt compelled to fight in Spain and the reality of conflict for those who had often never experienced warfare before.

Kagan, Robert: The Return of History and the End of Dreams
Book Number: 52795
Atlantic Books, London, 2008 8vo. Softcover. 115pp. near fine. Hopes for a new peaceful international order after the end of the Cold War have been dashed by sobering realities: Great powers are once again competing for honor and influence. Nation-states remain as strong as ever, as do the old, explosive forces of ambitious nationalism. The world remains “unipolar,” but international competition among the United States, Russia, China, Europe, Japan, India, and Iran raise new threats of regional conflict. Communism is dead, but a new contest between western liberalism and the great eastern autocracies of Russia and China has reinjected ideology into geopolitics. Finally, radical Islamists are waging a violent struggle against the modern secular cultures and powers that, in their view, have dominated, penetrated, and polluted their Islamic world. The grand expectation that after the Cold War the world would enter an era of international geopolitical convergence has proven wrong.
For the past few years, the liberal world has been internally divided and distracted by issues both profound and petty. Now, in The Return of History and the End of Dreams, Robert Kagan masterfully poses the most important questions facing the liberal democratic countries, challenging them to choose whether they want to shape history or let others shape it for them.
