Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Van Der Zee re-creates the life story of Fritz Pfeffer, a German born Jewish dentist, who under the name of 'Dussel' -- which means 'day-dreamer' or even 'dullard' -- prominently appears in the diary of Anne Frank. In Het Achterhuis, Anne Frank describes this man, who was her roommate in hiding for almost two years, as a narrow minded, irritating and gloomy figure. This material, including Pfeffer's last letter to Kaletta, his lover, dated 15 November 1942, came into the hands of the well-known Dutch historian Nanda van der Zee. With the help of Pfeffer's son, who gave her a wealth of unpublished photographs, as well as friends and acquaintances of Kaletta and Pfeffer from Germany, Holland, Belgium and South Africa and the Pfeffer archives of the Anne Frank Foundation, she re-created the story of his life. This book, which was published in the Netherlands in 1990, is the merit of Nanda van der Zee that she corrects the image that Anne Frank gave of Pfeffer and in essence rehabilitates him. He emerges as an affectionate man and a caring, warm lover. This new image proves to be a correction to the 'Diary' and may alter some of the hagiography surrounding Anne Frank.The testimony this book provides will penetrate deeper than a more empirical, historical account. It is a valuable supplement to the 'Diary'. The most significant value however lies in the author's underlying message: that war has a total, senseless and destructive effect on everybody.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In the 21st century we need a new philosophy as opposed to the old philosophy: a philosophy of man or philosophical anthropology. The importance of a new philosophy of man is that it addresses people all over the world, thus helping us to overcome our differences. And if we look a bit further into the world of the 21st century, we see that the most pressing project will be the search for meaning in the lives of human beings in a globalised world. Following the complete existential deconstruction that took place in the 20th century, our confusion on the foundations of our life abounds. The next step, consolidation in the 21st century, has been achieved in my philosophical anthropology. The theoretical basis for the new philosophy was laid by American philosopher and member of the American Philosophical Association James Joseph Dagenais (1923-1981), who came to the conclusion that philosophical anthropology is not a science, but a domain unto itself and cannot be replaced by any other anthropology. The final explanation of man lies outside all possible scientific views that have ever been formulated, because they lie within the origins of every branch of science, including the science of philosophy. It is the final ground on which the philosophies, of any nature whatsoever, can be practised implicitly or explicitly.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. There is scarcely an historical subject which arouses the fantasy as much as the history of the secretive Order of the Temple. Although it has been disbanded for nearly 700 years, books continue to appear about these religious knights. In these books it is claimed that the Templars uncovered the grave of Jesus, that they were the discoverers of America and the guardians of the Turin Shroud or that they found the Holy Grail. There are also critical writings about the Templars. They were supposed to be drunkards and devil worshipers. Koert ter Veen decided it was time that the truth behind the sagas and myths was studied and told. In this impressive, elaborate and richly illustrated book, he tells the factual tragic history of the Order. At the beginning of the fourteenth century, the French King Philip IV, due to shortage of money, ensured the misbegotten name of the Templars. The King wanted to possess the supposed riches of the Templars by discrediting and destroying them. The position of the monk-soldiers was weakened by their lack of success against the Islamic forces during the Crusades. The Order was destroyed, but its undeserved bad reputation lingers on.This informative and interesting book will entertain a large readership, from scholar to layman.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. It has been seventy yeas since the battle of Stalingrad ended. The city at the river Wolga drew German troops to it like a magnet. Hitler had officially declared the city as 'fallen', but then the Red Army encircled the German 6th Army. What followed was a major human tragedy. Hundreds of thousands were trapped in the city. Food and ammunition were scarce and an attempt to break through from the South failed. The German troops were left with an air bridge. The daily air transport flew on and off through snow and ice. Pilots who refused to land on the makeshift landing zones were threatened with war tribunal. None of it mattered in the end. In February 1943, the final shots could be heard. The air bridge had become a bridge of death.Besides the air bridge, the ground fighting is central to this book. It is surprising to see how Stalingrad was in fact the high point in a series of bloody military showdowns. Before the battle even started, the Red Army had already lost 1,1 million soldiers to this Southern part of the Eastern front.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In the Chinese Revolution of 1925-27 the Communist International played a very great role, depicted in this book quite comprehensively. We would, however, seek in vain in the library of the Communist International for a single book which attempts in any way to give a rounded picture of the Chinese Revolution. Instead, we find scores of "conjunctural" works' which docilely reflect each zigzag in the politics of the Communist International, or, more correctly, of Soviet diplomacy in China, and subordinating to each zigzag facts as well as general treatment. In contrast to this literature, which cannot arouse anything but mental revulsion, Isaacs' book represents a scientific work from beginning to end. It is based on a conscientious study of a vast number of original sources and supplementary material. Isaacs spent more than three years on this work. It should be added that he had previously passed about five years in China as a journalist and observer of Chinese life. The author of this book approaches the revolution as a revolutionist, and he sees no reason for concealing it.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. About 1 million inhabitants of the Soviet Union collaborated with the Nazis. This is a remarkable fact, because the Nazis, thanks to their racial policy, could not really be considered allies. And yet it happened. The aversion to Bolshevism and the hope for new freedom opened up a horizon in which collaboration between the Soviet peoples and the Germans seemed to offer a better alternative than the "Soviet paradise". Historical oppression and bloody experiences played a major role in this, especially among the Ukrainian, Crimean and Caucasian peoples. But there were also Russians who longed for the tsarist times of old. Within Nazi Germany, there was much resistance to this collaboration, but others were more practical and saw in the help of Soviet collaborators precisely the solution to the long campaign in the east. This led to a difficult but ultimately very large scale collaboration. Using documents and literature, the book gives an insight into the broad outlines of this extraordinary event. It was also a dramatic event, because the collapse of the Third Reich put the Osttruppen's desire for freedom into question, and a terrible end to it was drawn.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Throughout history, a believer did not need logical proof to believe in Almighty God. This is because the spiritual proof was always enough to admit the existence of Almighty God and to submit to Him. Finding Almighty God is not a mathematical equation that needs to be proven. Rather, it is a spiritual feeling due to a call from inside a human being. The relationship between Almighty God and humans is spiritual rather logical. However, with the advances in science and technology, this spiritual relationship decreases. Nowadays, modern man is looking for logic and scientific answers to many questions relating to Almighty God and religions. In fact, nonbelievers or atheists are not the only ones looking for answers to these types of questions; believers also want to increase their faith and remove doubts from their hearts. The main objective of this book is to provide logical answers to questions relating to belief in Almighty God, creations and Islam as the last heavenly religion. These questions are grouped under several topics, namely: 1) Almighty God, 2) the creation, 3) the soul, 4) the hereafter, 5) the destiny and freedom in choices, 6) the holy Quran and 7) the Islam. The main feature of this book is that the author provides logic flowcharts with each presented question relating to the different topics. Each logic flowchart has three phases: a start, a process and an end. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The focus on the 1944 Ardennes offensive is always on the initial dash of Kampfgruppe Peiper and the battles around Bastogne. The tanks steal the show. Most German forces involved were however infantry divisions with little means of transport. They are often regarded as the weak link: the footsloggers who could not catch up with the tanks. There was however an often overlooked German infantry success in the Schneiffel sector. The German 18th Volksgrenadierdivision almost singlehanded defeated the American 106th Infantry Division. In the historiography this is often either glossed over, or grossly exegerated. Why? Because an inferior German force in terms of infantry, artillery and armour defeated a larger, better trained American force. This book explains how a German volksgrenadierdivision was shaped up for battle and which role its general played in the eventual success. It also highlights the crucial role of a dozen assault guns, an unassuming tracked vehicle, in the German attack. The American side is not forgotten and gets a thorough analysis on often overlooked aspects, like the integration of replacements and the problems of command. R.A.B.
