The Shortest History of Austria

Nicholas T Parsons

'Incisive but comprehensive, entertaining and well-illustrated, this is the perfect introduction to what was once a huge empire and is now a small but (undeservedly) very lucky country' TIM BLANNING

Austria is a small country with a glorious history but a troubled past. It sits at the crossroads of central Europe: the furthest the Ottomans reached in the seventeenth century, a back-channel between east and west during the Cold War, and today a member of the European Union with its neutrality challenged by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In The Shortest History of Austria, Nicholas T. Parsons expertly tells the story of Austria from its origins at the outer reaches of the Roman Empire to its dominance of central Europe under the Habsburgs, and from the rebuilding of the republic after the devastation of World War II to the political tensions of today.

As he ranges from the Romans to the Reformation, from the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the Anschluss, and from Mozart to Gustav Klimt to Harry Lime, Parsons reveals the drama of Austria's history – and the crucial role the country has played in the story of Europe.

Operation Varsity - A...

Captivating History

Operation Varsity: The Final Airborne Assault of World War II
One river. One daring drop. One last chance to crush Nazi Germany.

In the spring of 1945, as Allied forces closed in on Hitler's collapsing empire, one final major barrier remained: the Rhine River. Beyond it lay the industrial core of Germany and the fading but fierce hope of Nazi resistance.

To break through, Allied commanders launched Operation Varsity, the largest single-day airborne assault of World War II.
Thousands of paratroopers and glider-borne soldiers from the British 6th Airborne and American 17th Airborne divisions flew across the Rhine and into one of the most dangerous, high-stakes missions of the entire conflict.

What made this operation different? Everything.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

- The political and military pressures that made Operation Varsity unavoidable.
- Why the Rhine was far more than a river and why it was Germany's final wall.
- How thousands of troops and tons of equipment were coordinated and dropped with remarkable precision.
- What failed in earlier airborne operations, and how Varsity transformed those lessons into success.
- How Varsity's victory opened the path to the Ruhr and ultimately Berlin.
- Why this often overlooked battle deserves recognition among the war's decisive turning points.
- And much more!
Packed with gripping detail, strategic insight, and human drama, Operation Varsity illuminates a bold yet frequently forgotten chapter of World War II.
If you love real-life military history, this is the battle you need to know.

In the Cause of Liberty

William King

This decidedly unusual book gives an excellent account of what its title purports. Rendering fresh views, not only of the poet and engraver William Blake and the radical-democratic pamphleteer Thomas Paine, but of the entirety of that cavalcade of events encompassed under the rubric of Revolution in the 18th Century—in America, in France, and in the Caribbean island known today as Haiti, as well as of the reform and radical movements contemporaneous in Britain with the rise of empire and “industrialism”. Proceedings that have had an influence on the debates on liberty and equality, and sovereign authority, in the ensuing two centuries; that remain, despite ever-burgeoning scholarship, controversial and perplexing, even elusive, today. 
William S. King’s vividly written and excellently researched narrative also doubles as a noteworthy literary examination, including Mary Wollstonecraft and Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine and William Blake, Marat and Condorcet, and the booksellers Nicolas Bonneville and Joseph Johnson, and many, many others—all mounted in memorable and sometimes gory tableaux, sketched against the turbulence of the time. 
This book will interest a diverse set of readers; all who are concerned with the ideas propounded at the end of the 18th century, by these persons and stirred by these events.
