Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of his many lovers described Max Schilling: 'despite his age, he was a daring child. Frivolous and Chauvinistic.' But there were many more things that one could use in describing Schilling. He lived by himself in a spacious Marseilles apartment on a monthly annuity that came from a mysterious benefactor. He had an English public-school education yet he was not English. His nationality was hidden behind a foraged American passport. He spoke French, German, and English (with an American accent) like a native and learned to get along in Spanish. And, in the company of a somewhat shady associate named Ignacio Vargas, he was a gallant gunrunner to the Spanish Civil War Republic and Basque Separatists. Anyone who knew this much about him would never have guessed that he had a romantic way about him that served as his subconscious, a subconscious that kept him continuously aware of his need to survive to the next day even if it meant volunteering to fight in the Spanish Republic's army against Franco's fascist revolution and with Basque Separatists trying to reestablish their republic. This narrative delves into the development of the character of Max Schilling as influenced by his former lover, Petra Rocha de los Santos, Josef, a Serb who converses in German, a French communist World War 1 veteran Cecil Thibodeaux (known as Dough), and two ex-patriate Germans Wilbur Franz and Dieter Schlump who had escaped from Nazi Germany and the Gestapo. It begins with a sea voyage from Toulon to Valencia in which he is smuggling machine guns which, as he was led to believe by Ignacio Vargas, would be sold to the highest bidder once they arrived in Spain and continues through disastrous Ebro front retreat, the fall of the Republic, and joining Basque Separatists who conduct attacks on Spanish ore trains bound for Nazi Germany. This is also a narrative of Petra Rocha de los Santos who is a former lover of Schilling, a hero machine gunner who helped defend Madrid against Franco's fascists, a propaganda commissar in Madrid, and the leader of a small group of Basque Separatists after the Republic falls. Dogging both Schilling and Rocha is Guardia Civil Commissioner (under the Republic) and a Colonel (in Franco's new order) Raul Cuero who comes within a hair's breadth of executing a pregnant Rocha.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | For some war is an inspiring, uplifting, and a liberating occurrence. Such is the case of Emil Dorfmeister. Abandon without a name to the St. Katherine Order in Posen, Dorfmeister received an excellent education but, because he was an orphan, no employment opportunities. He left the sisters' care at an early age to wander from one job to the next picking up experiences and, when working in the coal mines of Silesia, Russian as a second language. When the Great War started, he volunteered and fought for three years in the trenches of France gaining a new talent as a machine gun sharpshooter. But his real asset was in knowing Russian. He was culled from a pillbox crew and sent to Ukraine as part of an occupation force which had transcended its original purpose as a restorer of the Ukrainian government to a pillaging horde that indiscriminately seized Ukrainian food to ship back to Germany. Into his life came Tatianna Brendt, the daughter of German parents living along the Volga. Before the Revolution, Brendt had received an education at the Women's Institute in Kiev and found work with a legal firm in Kharkov. The Revolution destroyed the Tsarist legal system putting her out of a job but Brendt took an active part in furthering women's rights in the Bolshevik party. She was zealous and soon drew the envy and ridicule of those who were not comfortable with a woman having so much influence. She was forced out of her apartment due to rumors of promiscuous behaviors, fired from her job as an influencer, and relegated to living on the Kharkov streets with only the clothes on her back in February. Then an opportunity came her way. Because she could read and write Russian and German, the new secret police, the CHEKA, recruited her to spy for them in Ukraine. She was dressed up and left to find someone she could attach herself to among the German occupation force. She found that someone in Emil Dorfmeister. Warm, well-clothed, well fed, and safe, Brendt began her spying career with the help of Dorfmeister who had become fed-up with the ruthlessness of his superiors in looting Ukrainian resources. It soon came to pass that efforts to collect grain and other food supplies in his area of administration to send back to Germany came to naught and armed resistance to collection caravans increased. Before Dorfmeister's superiors could launch an investigation, the war ended and the Germans were forced to evacuate Ukraine. Dorfmeister's last acts as an administrator were to send Brendt north while he boarded a train to Germany. Brendt succeeded in gaining Bolshevik Russia but the part of the train that Dorfmeister was in was blown up by inept Bolshevik partisans. The train, relatively unharmed, continued its journey leaving Dorfmeister behind to either walk out of Russia or join the partisans to stay alive. He chose to use his skill as a machine gunner with the partisans. Brendt went on to spy on Leon Trotsky and the antirevolutionary General Wrangel for the CHEKA. Dorfmeister, in his turn, joined Wrangel's army after being captured and given a choice of join or be executed. Brendt and Dorfmeister came within a hair's breathe of meeting again and again. Brendt secretly contributed to Dorfmeister's recovery from wounds in Simferopol and nearly came to a reunion in Constantinople after the evacuation of Wrangel's army from the Crimea. Dorfmeister was never aware of who his benefactor was and as a result fled Constantinople to take a job of training the pan-Moslem army of Enver Pasha in Turkestan. The final acts of the story play out in Afghanistan and the new kingdom of Yugoslavia. Both paths are tainted by the past.…
