  You thought Adolf Hitler was bad. Well, someone who was less fortunate with power and control but equally sadistic was one of his slightly lower officers: Adolf Eichmann, the man who was in charge of many of the Holocaust deportations. 
  In this book, you will learn more about the life of Eichmann, someone who had been slowly getting used to the idea that supposedly, the Jews were inferior and were allegedly a problem for the German civilization. He would become devoted, during World War 2, to solve this “problem” and find many Jews to arrange for their transportation to death camps and gas chambers in Poland. Adolf Eichmann is a typical of example of what can go wrong with a culture of hate, propaganda, and gradual brainwashing techniques that dehumanize entire populations or peoples.

  "Martin King tells the human side of the story of the Battle of the Bulge better than anyone." 
  Commander Jeffrey Barta, US Navy (retired) 
   
  "I have walked the battlefields with Martin King, who has traversed them countless times with veterans of the Bulge. No one knows this story like Martin, and no one can tell it quite the way he does." 
  Rick Beyer, New York Times bestselling author of The Ghost Army of World War II 
   
  The vortex of a tornado is a vacuum, and that is where we were, in the centre of a storm of armour and artillery pushing forward into the Ardennes. 
  - John Hillard Dunn, 106th Division, US Army 
   
  The Battle of the Bulge was the largest land engagement of World War II. The German counter-attack, spearheaded by three Panzer armies, found the Allies unprepared and ill-equipped. As the fighting raged across the frosty forests of the Ardennes, it was left to a few untested US Infantry divisions to hold the Allied lines. Written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject, this account provides an essential introduction to the events of winter 1944-5 and to the many soldiers who risked their lives in defence of freedom. 
   
  Drawing on personal interviews, extensive research, and an unparalleled knowledge of the region, Martin King explores one of the most important battles of World War II.

  Cola di Rienzo and Garibaldi:...

  Cola di Rienzo was a man whose life and actions have reverberated down the centuries, as his charismatic, yet unsuccessful dictatorship has spawned legends and comparisons with movements of later ages. His attempt to bring the greatness of Roman antiquity into the reality of the 14th century, the city’s lowest point, is inspiring on its face. In 1938, Iris Origo saw how Cola was being used by her present era and noted that "within the last century Emperor, Communist and Fascist in turn have paid tribute to Cola di Rienzo as a kindred spirit or precursor. But historical parallels are deceptive. To measure a man of one century against a man of another is to see neither of them in the light of his own time…" 
  The different Italian states on the peninsula experienced Napoleonic rule in the early 1800s, followed by a brief restoration that led to widespread political upheavals in the 1820s. As the 1840s came to a close, the Italian peninsula was in major disarray. In 1847, the Austrian Chancellor Klement von Metternich referred to Italy as merely a “geographical expression,” and to some extent, he was not far off the mark.   
  	The Italian state may have come together thanks to ideals, but the success of the Second Italian War of Independence owed a lot of its success to chance, foreign intervention, and the wheeling and dealing of a few powerful men. Its story is long and complex, and the ultimate unification of Italy as it’s recognized today would require no less than four wars. Nonetheless, despite its difficult birthing process and rocky start, the Italian state has survived over 150 years, and it even managed to remain united in the aftermath of World War II, escaping the fate of Nazi Germany.
