Beschreibung

Solomon War explores the Solomon Islands campaign, a pivotal and brutal theater in the Pacific War during World War II. It reveals how this remote archipelago became a crucial battleground, significantly altering the course of the war. The book highlights the strategic importance of the islands, noting that their control was essential for both Allied and Japanese forces due to their proximity to Australia and vital shipping lanes. Furthermore, the campaign marked a turning point as Allied victory halted Japanese expansion, shifting momentum in their favor. The book examines the diverse military strategies used by both sides, detailing key battles like Guadalcanal, set against the challenging backdrop of jungle warfare. It provides a holistic view by also exploring the profound social and environmental consequences experienced by the local islanders, including displacement and long-term environmental damage. The narrative progresses from the geopolitical landscape to the specifics of major battles, ultimately reflecting on the campaign’s lasting legacy. Drawing from military records, firsthand accounts, and oral histories, Solomon War uniquely combines military history with social and environmental analysis. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the Solomon Islands campaign, making it valuable for military history enthusiasts and anyone interested in the Pacific War's broader impact on world history.

    The existence of German-speaking units fighting for the Allied cause during WW2 has remained largely a well-kept secret. But seventy-five years on these units' contribution to victory needs to be fully acknowledged. 
     
     
     
    Prime Minister Winston Churchill had no qualms about using native German speakers from Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Germany itself. The majority were Jews who had fled persecution. 
     
     
     
    Two examples of these secret units were X Troop Commandos and the Special Interrogation Group. 
     
     
     
    The SIG men deserve their legendary status. They fought, and often died, wearing Wehmacht uniform. As this book reveals that, after infiltrating Field Marshal Rommel's Afrika Korps, one detachment even drew Nazi pay. Once the existence of SIG units became known, their immediate execution on capture was ordered, unless their temporary reprieve would reveal intelligence under torture. 
     
     
     
    We learn how Churchill's initiative was copied by both Americans and Russians. 
     
     
     
    Post-war SIG and X Troop survivors joined British special forces or were used to hunt down Nazi war criminals. 
     
     
     
    All this and more is covered in this groundbreaking book by a writer who is both a leading historian and foreign correspondent.

    “two ways 
    still even today 
    written on a stone 
    as the black bird  
    flies above the tomb 
    out back  
    in the field of  
    blue and berries 
    that old woman still  
    stomping on his remains 
    over a misbehaved   
    no one has to hold the blame 
    heard he left  
    her mistake 
    guess she had 
    the whole town convinced  
    till the walking dead 
    said they need the land 
    for a parking space 
    to build something grand 
    So the city said 
    almost took a bullet to her head 
    Until she realized  
    she is not better off dead  
    so she whispered to chip 
    come snow come rain  
    I shall never leave this grave 
    and then she prayed  
    as the son gave 
    her another chance  
    to choose one of 
    two ways”

    'Shocking, terrifying and revealing. Ground-breaking history, expertly told - a dramatic new insight into the Falklands conflict.' ROGER BOLTON, BBC journalist and broadcaster
    Forty years on from the outbreak of the war, acclaimed TV journalist Julian Manyon digs down into Argentina's 'Dirty War' and its effect on the Falklands conflict
    
    On May 12th, 1982, after the first bloody exchanges of the Falklands War, journalist Julian Manyon and his TV crew were kidnapped on the streets of Buenos Aires and put through a traumatic mock execution by the secret police. Less than eight hours later they were invited to the Presidential Palace to film a world-exclusive interview with an apologetic President Galtieri, the dictator and head of the Argentine Junta.
    
    Spurred on by the recent release of declassified CIA documents about Argentina's 'Dirty War', Manyon discovered that his kidnapper was a key figure in the Junta's bloody struggle against left-wing opposition, with a terrifying record of torture and murder. Also in the secret documents were details of the wider picture - the turmoil inside the Junta as the war with Britain got under way, and how Argentina succeeded in acquiring vital US military equipment which made its war effort possible.
    
    Published on the 40th anniversary of the Falklands conflict, this book is an extraordinary insight into the war behind the war. Manyon provides a harrowing depiction of the campaign of terror that the Junta waged on its own population, and a new perspective on an episode of history more often centred on Mrs Thatcher, the Belgrano and the battle of Goose Green.
