La grande storia della prima guerra mondiale

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 18:09:11 +0000

Martin Gilbert offre una opera completa e dettagliata su tutti i fronti di combattimento della Grande Guerra. E riesce a parlare non soltanto di cifre (dei morti, dei feriti, dei prigionieri, dei proiettili sparati, delle vittime di gas tossici e armi chimiche) ma anche le voci: di coloro che dalle trincee confidavano ai familiari o semplicemente a se stessi il proprio angosciato stupore di fronte a un apocalittico spettacolo di orrore e crudelta.

A History of the Twentieth Century: Volume 3, 1952-1999

Wed, 21 Jun 2023 18:48:23 +0000

Critics heralded the first two volumes A History of the Twentieth Century as masterly (Boston Globe) and deft, illuminating, and fascinating (Henry Kissenger). Now, the final work in Martin Gilbert’s magisterial and acclaimed three-volume history brilliantly charts the course of the twentieth century’s last five decades. Here are gripping narrative accounts of the wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Bosnia; the postwar reconstruction of Europe; apartheid; the arms race; the moon landing ; and the extraordinary advances in medical science. Mao started a cultural revolution, Martin Luther King, Jr., and John F. Kennedy were assassinated, and the computer revolution was begun. The result is nothing less than extraordinary.
