About the BookFIRST PUBLISHED IN MARATHI IN 1998, THE NOVEL HAS BEEN TRANSLATED INTO FOURTEEN INDIAN AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES.This iconic Marathi novel by Vishwas Patil brings originality and new ideas to the most storied of lives-Subhas Chandra Bose. Possibly the most enigmatic figure in the history of India's freedom struggle, Bose's ideological differences with the two stalwarts of the Independence movement, Gandhi and Nehru, split the Congress down the middle. And yet he held them in high esteem, just as they admired him. While Bose asserted the independence of his own values even as he sought help from the Axis powers-Nazi Germany, Italy and later Japan-during World War II, for the cause of a free India, it was seen as treasonous and dangerous by many.Vishwas Patil recreates the life of a man who was twice elected president of the Congress, and quit to follow his own vision, forming the Indian National Army. His defiant nationalism provoked anger and distrust. Mahanayak traces Netaji's steps from India to Germany, Italy, Singapore, Japan and Burma, to paint a complex portrait of a man of immense strengths and fatal failings. Rich with details drawn from the colossal canvas of the Indian revolution, this is an immersive historical novel that reads like a fast-paced thriller.About the AuthorVishwas Patil is one of the most acclaimed Marathi writers today.

Johannes Haller war der wohl meistgelesene deutsche Historiker seiner Zeit. Allgemeinverständliche Darstellungen zur deutschen Geschichte und mediävistische Arbeiten zur Kirchen- und vor allem zur Papsttumsgeschichte begründeten seinen öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Ruhm. Der Deutschbalte und Wahl-Römer gehörte aber trotzdem zeitlebens eher zu den Außenseitern innerhalb der Geschichtswissenschaft. Dafür dürften vor allem Hallers von vielen als "schwierig" wahrgenommener Charakter und seine ausgesprochene Neigung zur Polemik ausschlaggebend gewesen sein. Ein anhaltender Nachruhm blieb ihm außerdem aufgrund seiner politischen Positionierung nach 1918 versagt: Zuerst deutschnationaler Kritiker der Weimarer Republik, zeigte er Anfang der 1930er Jahre Sympathien für die nationalsozialistische Bewegung, die ihn zu einer "angewiderten Bewunderung" (Heribert Müller) des NS-Regimes führten. Die hier vorgelegte Auswahledition der Briefe Hallers dokumentiert den eigenwilligen Blick eines Gelehrten von Rang auf die Geschichte Deutschlands zwischen Kaiserreich und Nationalsozialismus. Für jede Forschung zur Wissenschafts-, Kultur-, Geistes- und Politikgeschichte dieser Epoche liefern Hallers Briefe äußerst wertvolle Einblicke.

Die kritisch kommentierte Edition der Tagebücher des Historikers Alexander Cartellieri (1867-1955) leistet einen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Geschichtswissenschaft in systemübergreifender und transnationaler Perspektive zwischen Kaiserreich und deutscher Zweistaatlichkeit. In seltener Kontinuität lässt sich anhand des über 76 Jahre geführten Selbstzeugnisses zeigen, wie ein deutscher Historiker mit Frankreichschwerpunkt sein Metier im Wandel der Zeit betrieb und in welchen personellen und strukturellen Zusammenhängen sich sein Oeuvre und seine Disziplin im Rahmen universitärer Wissenschaften entfaltete. Interessant zu beobachten ist es zudem, wie der Historiker die politischen Umbrüche und Wechselfälle des deutschen Jahrhunderts erlebte und verarbeitete. Das hier erstmals in Auszügen veröffentlichte Diarium gibt insgesamt Aufschluss über Leben und Werk eines international tätigen und gleichwohl stark national verwurzelten Historikers.

Die Studie rekonstruiert die Lebensschicksale zehn deutscher Altertumswissenschaftler, die nach der Machtubernahme durch die Nationalsozialisten aufgrund ihrer judischen Herkunft oder ihrer "e;politischen Unzuverlassigkeit"e; nach den Bestimmungen des am 7. April 1933 in Kraft getretenen "e;Gesetzes zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums"e; entlassen wurden und sich mit Unterstutzung zahlreicher judischer und nichtjudischer Hilfskomitees unter schwierigsten Bedingungen in den USA eine neue berufliche Existenz als Hochschullehrer aufbauen konnten: M. Bieber (Barnard, Columbia), K. Lehmann-Hartleben (NYU), E. Jastrow (Greensboro College), O. Brendel, K. von Fritz, E. Kapp, P. O. Kristeller (alle Columbia), E. Abrahamsohn (Howard Univ., Univ. of Washington St. Louis), E. M. Manasse (North Carolina College for Negroes) und P. Friedlander (UCLA). Hierfur wurden erstmals die Archive der wichtigsten Hilfsorganisationen (v. a. Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced German Scholars, Oberlander Trust) und der Universitaten sowie die Nachlasse der Emigranten und ihrer Unterstutzer akribisch ausgewertet. Dadurch erschliet sich ein neues Kapitel der Wissenschaftsgeschichte, die Geschichte der Altertumswissenschaften in der Emigration.

It was during the Summer of 2020 that James McCarraher (pronounced 'Mac-arra-her') was entrusted by his Uncle Colin with a small, precious canvas folder containing over one hundred photographic negatives taken by his late Uncle David McCarraher during the Second World War. The folder was marked 'Kenya, Ceylon, Germany' but most intriguingly, David had catalogued the content of each individual negative, taken between 1941 and 1945. James contacted David's youngest daughter, his cousin Jane who revealed that she held over two hundred letters written by David during this period which had been saved by his mother. Jane's older sister, Vera confirmed that she had further photographs and so with the kindness of David's family, the entire collection was re-united thus enabling David's war time story to be told in his own words and pictures. This first volume picks up with David as an evacuee, fulfilling his role as 'Pike' in the L.D.V. (precursor to the Home Guard) and Head Boy of his school before joining H.M.S. Royal Arthur and training as an Ordinary Coder (the first in his family to join the Royal Navy) prior to being dispatched to the far flung reaches of the British Empire. David's letters capture the mood of the time and are rich in socio-historical elements as well as sensitive personal flourishes as we witness his passage into adulthood, shaped by war and life in the Royal Navy.

Rest assured that in this book of short memoirs you will get the raw truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the un-cut truth from incarcerated convicts that are living the chain gang lifestyle.
