Sinopsis del Libro

Libro U-BOOTE

From the beginning of the Second World War the sea became a vitally important scene of conflict. Great Britain relied on receiving supplies by sea and, therefore, a total blockade of the United Kingdom was one the main objectives of Hitler’s Germany. The British government was forced to maintain a strategy of antisubmarine warfare throughout the conflict, while the Royal Navy sought to interrupt the Third Reich’s maritime traffic. In these circumstances the submarine became an important weapon of war. Headed by Karl Dönitz, who would later succeed Hitler as Head of State, the German U-boats gained the initiative in the sea war and from the beginning launched all-out attacks against shipping en route to Great Britain. At the start of hostilities the Ubootwaffe had only 57 submarines, of which 22 could operate in the Atlantic. The superiority of the British navy led to U-boats playing a leading role in the German war effort, to such an extent that they could have tipped the balance in favour of Germany, had it not been for Hitler’s lack of vision. Putting aside the question of the regime they defended, over the years no one has doubted the bravery of the men who fought aboard the 820 submarines out of a total of 1,158 that the Third Reich put into service. Their tactics and strategy and their tenacity in battle during operations at sea earned them the admiration of friends and foe alike. Of the almost 40,000 officers and men that took to sea in U-boats, the majority were volunteers, and 30,000 went down with the 785 submarines that were lost at sea, though they managed to sink more than 3,000 merchantmen and 200 enemy warships. One of the great unanswered questions of the war is what would have happened if Hitler had granted the numerous requests made by Dönitz for more submarines?

The Finest Hours of The Second World War

Libro The Finest Hours of The Second World War

“Each war entails the destruction of the human soul” (Henry Miller). Humanity should not lose its memory, even if some may try to conceal it. From the hindsight afforded by the passing of 75 years from the events narrated, with freedom of thought and a totally independent standpoint, Pacific Media have undertaken an arduous research which has resulted in the series: “The Finest Hours of WWII". From the atrocious moment in which Hitler ordered the invasion of Polish territory to the day in which Emperor Hirohito “had to accept the unacceptable”, all is encompassed in this book over...

A partir de la recuperación de manuscritos largamente silenciados, Gershom Scholem - uno de los mayores estudiosos de nuestro tiempo y el primero en sentar las bases fiables de un análisis de la mística judía - traza el mapa de las ideas y simbolismo del movimiento cabalístico, desde sus comienzos en la Alta Edad Media, su esplendor en la España de finales del siglo XIII con la aparición del Zóhar, hasta las últimas interpretaciones h.asídicas. Este trabajo de recuperación redefine muchas de las nociones de la historia y la religión judías y nos abre a nuevas y fecundas...

La memoria posible

Libro La memoria posible

El Sueño de la Historia es quizá la obra más importante de la trayectoria de Jorge Edwards y una de las mejores novelas hispanoamericanas de las últimas décadas. Desde una perspectiva actual en que la muerte del ex dictador chileno, lejos de favorecer una superación histórica, ha provocado una revisión de los pactos de la transición, este libro ofrece una lectura integral y desapasionada de una obra polémica, en un marco colectivo que interpela directamente la historia reciente de España.
