Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nearly 4,000 people were killed over the thirty or so years of the Northern Irish Troubles. And the killings were as intimate as they were brutal. Neighbours murdered neighbours. Susan McKay's book explores the difficult legacy of this conflict for families, friends and communities. By interviewing those who loved the missing and the dead, as well as some who narrowly survived, McKay gives a voice to those who are too often overlooked in the political histories. Old enemies are now in government together in Belfast, and the killing has all but stopped, but peace can only endure if the dead can finally be laid to rest. Bear in Mind These Dead is a moving and important contribution to that process.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A million and half men died in North East Italy in a war that need never have happened. Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire in May 1915. Led by General Cadorna, waves of Italian conscripts were sent charging up the limestone hills north of Trieste to be massacred by troops fighting to save their homelands. This is a tragic history of a war that gave birth to fascism. Mussolini fought, but so did many of the greatest European writers - Ungaretti, Gadda, Musil, Hemingway. Mark Thompson, with great skill and empathy, brings to life this forgotten conflict.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Isabella de' Medici was the hostess of a glittering circle in Renaissance Florence. Beautiful and liberated, she not only matched the intellectual accomplishments of her male contemporaries, but sought sexual parity also, engaging in an adulterous affair with her husband's cousin. It was this affair - and her very success as First Lady of Florence - that led to her death at the hands of her husband at the age of just thirty-four. She left behind a remarkable story, and as her legacy a son who became the best of the Orsini Dukes, immortalised by Shakespeare as Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night. Caroline P. Murphy illuminates this often misunderstood figure, and in the process brings to life the home of creativity, the city of Florence itself.
