Sinossi

Resistance Fighters explores the diverse underground movements across Europe during World War II, highlighting their crucial role in undermining Axis occupation. This book examines the courage and ingenuity of ordinary citizens who risked everything to defy the Nazi regime. It delves into the multifaceted forms of resistance, from intelligence gathering and sabotage to armed struggle, revealing that resistance was far from a monolithic effort. Consider, for example, how resistance groups aided escaped prisoners, demonstrating the breadth of their activities. Understanding this diversity is key to appreciating the full scope of resistance.

 
The book progresses chronologically and thematically, beginning with initial responses to occupation and the formation of resistance cells. It then explores key resistance activities in countries like France, Poland, Norway, and Yugoslavia, showcasing the unique challenges and strategies employed in each context. The historical analysis also emphasizes the long-term consequences of these actions, both positive and negative, in shaping post-war Europe.

 
Examining the ideologies that fueled both collaboration and resistance, the book provides valuable insights into the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in occupied territories and the lasting impact of these movements on national identity.

Guilty Prayer - poems by Steve Henn

Steve Henn

"Guilty Prayer is most stunning for how much it fits into a small space. All of this, no doubt, in praise of Steve Henn's brilliantly malleable poetic voice, which shifts tones, moods, and paces seamlessly between pages and between lines. I love this book for how it faces me, how it speaks to me, how it trusts me with what it knows. Reading this has made me a more generous person." - Hanif Abdurraqib 
"Lithium and late-life sobriety - yes, please, and a music culled from the heartland as if from the pen of some Midwestern O'Hara in a time of 'dank memes' and the still reverberating echoes of Sparklehorse. Romance and failure, puking after a first sober Thanksgiving, the ghost of a long lost love, and poetry with 'surreal teenagers.' I recognize my place in Henn's America, in these days of no advantages, shattered dreams, and enough joy and art to live a life by." - David Dodd Lee 
"Steve Henn peels back sorrow to reveal other emotions coiled inside it. Humor, bewilderment, guilt, tenderness. Grief as nexus, grief as quicksilver. Death and addiction are his subjects, yes. But Henn's language, like grief, is never static: it spirals into poems that are gripping, electrifying. I felt many things reading his work. Sorrow, yes. But also awe and gratitude." - Eduardo C. Corral

Rise and Fall of the Crusader...

Charles River Editors

Of the many campaigns during the Middle Ages, few are as remarkable or seemingly impossible to win at the start as the First Crusade (1095-99), and the true crowning achievement of that crusade, which resulted in two centuries of Western European Christian states in the Middle East and the permanent firing of the European imagination, was the conquest of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099 after three weeks of siege. That victorious siege came four years after the call for a crusade first went out, and had the Crusaders not taken Jerusalem, the First Crusade would not likely have been followed by any more and the campaign might have been no more than an historical footnote of what could have been.  
Despite the successful First Crusade, the Crusader States were relatively small and weak, and while they tried to be a bulwark of Christianity in the Holy Land, the Crusader States were reconquered centuries before modern European colonialism began. Nonetheless, the Crusades and the Crusader States galvanized the Christians of Western Europe to expand their world. While it remains unclear how much that world expanded in practical terms such as trade, or how it affected later attitudes during the expansion to the New World and other regions, it definitely engaged the European mind in both positive and negative ways. As such, the crusades soon achieved near-mythic status in the European literature and remain among the most important events of the Middle Ages. 
At the same time, the Crusader States were not one homogenized region but actually several distinct territories that had their own unique histories and interests. In fact, many of them were founded a century apart, with the Kingdom of Antioch established in 1097 and the Duchy of Cyprus in 1191, and they stretched across the Near East and the Mediterranean. As such, each one had different political, religious, and economic characteristics.
