Synopsis

In the annals of history, the Spanish Civil War stands as a haunting reminder of the fragility of democracy and the devastating consequences of ideological extremism. This conflict, which raged from 1936 to 1939, was not merely a domestic struggle for power, but a proxy war between the rising tide of fascism and the forces of republicanism and socialism.

This book delves into the intricate web of events that led to the outbreak of hostilities, exploring the political, social, and economic factors that created a tinderbox of tensions in Spain. We examine the key battles and campaigns that shaped the course of the war, from the early Republican victories to the eventual Nationalist triumph.

Beyond the military narrative, this book delves into the human stories behind the headlines, shedding light on the experiences of ordinary people caught in the maelstrom of war. We encounter tales of courage and resilience, of unwavering idealism and tragic loss, as we piece together the mosaic of individual lives that were forever changed by the conflict.

Moreover, this book analyzes the profound impact of the Spanish Civil War on the international stage. It was a conflict that drew in volunteers from around the world, including the famed International Brigades, and served as a testing ground for the strategies and tactics that would be employed in the Second World War.

Through a comprehensive exploration of the Spanish Civil War, this book provides a deeper understanding of the historical context in which it unfolded, the motivations and actions of the various factions involved, and the enduring legacy of the conflict. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of extremism, the importance of vigilance, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

    In the 75th anniversary year of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru, A FAITHFUL RECORD OF THE LISBON MARU INCIDENT is a recent translation from an original Chinese publication covering an important chapter in Hong Kong’s wartime history. It gives details of the Lisbon Maru Incident of 1942, seen through the eyes of the Chinese fishermen who rescued hundreds of British prisoners of war from Hong Kong, whose ship had been torpedoed. The Japanese had tried to keep them in the holds as the ship sank so that they would drown, and then shot at them as they tried to escape. These courageous fishermen not only prevented hundreds more deaths, they also hid three prisoners under the noses of the Japanese until they could be sent secretly on a journey across more than 1,000 miles of China to reach Chongqing, from where they could tell the world what had happened. The book also recounts the visit to Zhoushan in 2005 of one of the survivors of the sinking and his emotional reunion with those who saved him; as well as a visit to Hong Kong in the same year of the last few remaining fishermen who had taken part in the rescue.

    Abraham Lincoln, a self-taught lawyer, legislator, and vocal opponent of slavery, was elected 16th president of the United States in November 1860, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Lincoln proved to be a shrewd military strategist and a savvy leader: His Emancipation Proclamation paved the way for the abolition of slavery. At the same time, his Gettysburg Address stands as one of the most famous pieces of oratory in American history. In April 1865, with the Union on the brink of victory, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln’s assassination made him a martyr to the cause of liberty. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history.
