.Years of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich (Years Of)
City Travel Guides > Books > Origins
by: David Evans, Jane Jenkins

March 01, 1999
Since the changes of Curriculum 2000 were introduced to A-level studies, few comprehensive text books have been written to suit either AS or A2 in this field of history. This book is one of the few and it was a fantastic help for my A2 exam. It provided all the background reading I needed and explained all the concepts and theories I needed to know. Although it wasn't specific to my exam board and the exercises were different to my actual exam, to some students these will be helpful and can easily be ignored by the rest. My only wish is that it had been published a year earlier so I could have used it for my AS module too!

.The Anglo-Saxon World: An Anthology (Oxford World's Classics)
City Travel Guides > Books > Origins
from: Oxford Paperbacks

February 11, 1999
This is arguably the best-presented collection of Anglo-Saxon prose and poetry in a single book, expertly and masterfully translated by the author. Includes Beowulf, The Seafarer, The Wanderer, The Battle of Maldon, Bede, Caedmon..with lively commentaries, making Anglo-Saxon culture easily accessible to the reader. This is a cherry-picking of the top items of the literature. For those purists and language-lovers like me, it lacks the side-by-side Anglo-Saxon versions of the texts.
Perhaps there will be another Vol 2 which provides this?

.Five Days in London: May 1940 (Yale Nota Bene)
City Travel Guides > Books > Origins
by: J Lukacs

September 03, 2001
Churchill had been wrong so many times before on every issue that he touched, so the fact that he was made British Prime Minister, at a very dark hour in British history, was in itself amazing. The reason that he was given the role was that it was obvious that a strong leader was needed. It was his ability to turn a very sceptical Conservative party, a divided cabinet and a fearful country around to the idea that they, and they on their own, could fight on. These were the five days that shaped British history. The book is a well written account of how a very significant decision was made through the efforts of one man. He may have been wrong on everything else but he was right on the one thing that really mattered for Britain and indeed Europe, ... Read More:

.The Silence of the Sea / Le Silence De La Mer: A Novel of French Resistance During the Second World War by 'vercors'
City Travel Guides > Books > Origins
from: Berg Publishers

November 05, 1992
In 'Le Silence de la Mer' Vercors writes of the tensions between a highly educated, articulate and sensitive German soldier, and the French family with whom he is billeted. The war and the opposing sides have created a barrier between these people, preventing what could have become a long lasting and firm friendship. Each night the German solider, uninvited, joins the father of the house and his niece by the fire, telling them of his hopes for the future of a united Europe, his love of the French language and literature and displaying his true sensitive nature, contrasting with the shock of the brutality of war and the stereotype of a typical German soldier. He receives no response to these almost poetic monologues, and his polite and courteous ... Read More:
