Summary

"Germany at War" delves into the nation's pivotal role in shaping 20th-century global conflicts, exploring how Germany became the epicenter of two world wars within a century. This comprehensive examination spans from 1914 to 2014, offering a nuanced understanding of the socio-political, military, and technological factors that influenced German warfare and international relations.

 
The book challenges simplistic narratives, arguing that Germany's military adventures were not inevitable outcomes of national character, but rather the result of complex historical, economic, and geopolitical factors. It traces the country's journey from unification under Bismarck through rapid industrialization, World Wars I and II, the Cold War, and into modern peacekeeping efforts.

 
By drawing on primary sources and interdisciplinary research, the author presents a balanced analysis of Germany's wartime experiences and their global repercussions. "Germany at War" stands out for its accessible yet scholarly approach, making it valuable for students, military strategists, and policymakers alike.

 
The book's chronological structure and exploration of key themes such as military strategy, diplomacy, and technological advancements provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of Germany's role in shaping modern warfare and international relations. Through this lens, it offers valuable insights into contemporary geopolitical tensions and the ongoing challenges of maintaining global peace.

    Scott M. Deitche presents an in-depth exposé on East Harlem's notorious Purple Gang whose murderous exploits became a media obsession and Mafia lynchpin. 
     
     
     
    In the late 1970s, a string of seemingly unconnected murders had Harlem police and federal authorities at their wits' end until they realized several commonalities. The victims were all either Mafia members or potential witnesses of Mafia activity and they'd all been shot from .22 pistols traced back to a single private sale in Florida. From these details, the FBI and police were able to build a profile of a rogue sect of Mafia hitmen known as the East Harlem Purple Gang. 
     
     
     
    Starting on the fringes of Mafia families, the Purple Gang members became indispensable and installed members in the highest ranks of the Genovese, Bonanno, and Lucchese families. Often serving as freelance hitmen, kidnappers, and drug traffickers, the Purple Gang's exploits quickly crossed into mythology as media outlets scrambled to keep up with new murders and the law's crusade to bring the gang members to justice. Sifting through the mystery and mythos, author Scott M. Deitche brings readers into Harlem's gritty streets to experience the Purple Gang's reign of terror, the investigators who tried to bring them down, and the gang members who either suffered violent ends or are still at large today.

    "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.

    ‘I’ve spent the majority of my life fighting for the rights of Traditional Owners. This has put me in the firing line. But I chose this job, I chose this political path. My family did not.’ – Wayne Bergmann 
    It’s Broome, 2010. Nyikina man Wayne Bergmann has just received a death threat. His wife has watched a friend cross the road to avoid speaking with her. His children are subject to intense schoolyard bullying. Bergmann, a boilermaker by trade, and lawyer, is chief executive of the Kimberley Land Council during the controversial James Price Point gas hub negotiations. It’s an event that will tear the Broome community apart. Wayne’s story starts on Nyikina country and encompasses backbreaking station work, buried treasure, a Swedish bone thief and traditional magic love songs. His is an electrifying tale of resilience, determination and optimism, which shows what it takes to be an Aboriginal person walking in two cultures in a country where racism runs deep.
