Soyuz Music Sabaton. The Great War (CD)
SABATON отмечает двадцатилетие группы! Каков был бы наиболее подходящий способ отпраздновать эту огромную веху – и одновременно установить цели на будущее? Естественно, есть только один вариант: выпустить девятую ракету в самое сердце хэви-металлического мира. Другими словами, новый альбом SABATON – еще одна концептуальная запись из архива увлекательной военной истории – завершен, говорит басист и автор текстов SABATON Пер Сундстрем – и продолжает: „название нашего нового опуса - " Великая Война", и в своем музыкальном и лирическом путешествии мы погружаемся в мрачную и кровавую атмосферу Первой мировой войны. эта безумная война потрясла всю планету в 1914-1918 годах и вызвала разрушительные последствия, которые до сих пор звучат эхом. Первая мировая война также должна была той войной которая положит конец всем войнам. Но, сегодня мы то знаем , что к сожалению это не так." Если вы знакомы с эпическими звуками SABATON, вы знаете, что эти джентльмены не новички в веселом разнообразном и захватывающем стиле хэви-метала. Ну и не стоит переживать: эпически звучащая " Великая война" выводит все на новый уровень. " Контраст между жестокостью беспощадной войны и героическими жертвами, принесенными разными людьми, отражается на оригинальных треках - как на музыке, так и на текстах", - утверждает Сундстрем. Альбом состоит из 11 треков, издан в виде шестипанельного диджипака с 28 стр цветным буклетом. В российской версии альбома The Great War (History Edition) название альбома на буклете написано на русском языке. Трек-лист: 01. The Future Of Warfare 02.

Max Arthur Forgotten Voices Of The Great War
A fascinating history of World War I in the words of those who were there - 'an extraordinary and immensely moving book' Stephen Fry This unique landmark oral history uses first-hand accounts from ordinary men and women who were there. Gripping, poignant, surprising and even humorous, the personal experiences of these soldiers, civilians, marines and medics from both sides tell us what it was really like to live through what was supposed to be the war to end all wars. Skilfully assembled by acclaimed author and historian Max Arthur using the IWM's remarkable sound archive, Forgotten Voices of the Great War became an instant classic on first publication with close to half a million copies sold. In 1972, the Imperial War Museum began a momentous and important task. A team of academics, archivists and volunteers set about tracing First World War veterans and interviewing them in order to record the experiences of ordinary individuals in war. Since then the Sound Archive has grown to become the largest and most important oral history collections in the world. It now contains over 34,000 recordings, including interviews with veterans of both world wars - both service personnel and non-combatants - recordings relating to Britain and the Empire in the inter-war period 1919-1939, conflicts since 1945 and the Holocaust. In 2002, Ebury Press published the first edition of Forgotten Voices of the Great War. It was both the first time many of these recordings had been transcribed and published, and the only comprehensive oral history of the First World War. Twelve further books covering aspects of the Second World War, the Falklands and the Victoria Cross followed, selling well over a million copies to date.

Wood Michael In Search of the Dark Ages
Updated with the latest archaeological research new chapters on the most influential yet widely unrecognised people of the British isles, In Search of the Dark Ages illuminates the fascinating and mysterious centuries between the Romans and the Norman Conquest of 1066. In this new edition, Michael Wood vividly conjures some of the most important people in British history such as Hadrian, a Libyan refugee from the Arab conquests and arguably the most important person of African origin in British history, to Queen Boadicea, the leader of a terrible war of resistance against the Romans. Here too, warts and all, are the Saxon, Viking and Norman kings who laid the political foundations of England: Offa of Mercia, Alfred the Great, Athelstan, and William the Conqueror, whose victory at Hastings in 1066 marked the end of Anglo-Saxon England. Reflecting the latest historical, textual and archaeological research, this revised and updated edition of Michael Wood's classic book overturns preconceptions of the Dark Ages as a shadowy and brutal era, showing them to be a richly exciting and formative period in the history of Britain.

Keegan John The First World War
A major work by our greatest military historian, acclaimed as the definitive history of the First World War, the conflict that shaped the twentieth century. The definitive account of the Great War and a national bestseller from eminent military historian John Keegan 2018 marks the centenary of the First World War - the war that created the modern world. It destroyed a century of relative peace and prosperity and saw a continent at the height of its success descend into slaughter. It unleashed both the demons of the twentieth century - political hatred, military destruction and mass death - and the ideas which continue to shape our world today: modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, and radical ideas about economics and society. By the end of the war, three great empires - the Austro-Hungarian, the Russian and the Ottoman - had collapsed. But as Keegan expertly shows, the devastation extended over the entirety over Europe and still profoundly informs the politics and culture of the continent today. Pertinent, authoritative and gripping, this panoramic account of WW1 is regarded as a world history classic. 'The best and most approachable introduction to the war' Guardian 'Nobody describes a battle as Keegan does, vividly relating the unfolding events to the contours of the field of combat... This book is a kind of war memorial. As first-hand memory fades, The First World War honours the dead as only true history can' Sunday Times

Every word, every lie, every cunning plan and cock-up. From medieval nastiness, through Elizabethan and Regency glory, to the mud and sauteed rats of the First World War, Blackadder and his oafish underling Baldrick can be most definitely blamed for ruining England's reputation as a country with a great history.

Watson Alexander Ring of Steel. Germany and Austria-Hungary at War, 1914-1918
For the empires of Germany and Austria-Hungary the Great War - which had begun with such high hopes for a fast, dramatic outcome - rapidly degenerated as invasions of both France and Serbia ended in catastrophe. For four years the fighting now turned into a siege on a quite monstrous scale. Europe became the focus of fighting of a kind previously unimagined. Despite local successes - and an apparent triumph in Russia - Germany and Austria-Hungary were never able to break out of the the Allies' ring of steel. In Alexander Watson's compelling new history of the Great War, all the major events of the war are seen from the perspective of Berlin and Vienna. It is fundamentally a history of ordinary people. In 1914 both empires were flooded by genuine mass enthusiasm and their troubled elites were at one with most of the population. But the course of the war put this under impossible strain, with a fatal rupture between an ever more extreme and unrealistic leadership and an exhausted and embittered people. In the end they failed and were overwhelmed by defeat and revolution.
