Krig

Juni har arvet huset til besteforeldrene og drar tilbake til øya der hun vokste opp. Hun rydder i huset, og kommer over et bilde av mormoren sammen med en tysk soldat og et brev fra 1946. Dette er helt ukjent for Juni, og hun bestemmer seg for å nøste opp mormorens historie. Jakten på sannheten fører Juni til Berlin og en liten by i det som ble den russiske sonen da Tyskland kapitulerte. Etter hvert forstår Juni at mormorens hemmelighet er noe mer enn at hun var tyskerjente, og oppdagelsen får betydning for hennes eget liv. "Mormor danset i regnet" handler om en kvinnes fortielse og dens følger for datteren og barnebarnet, men aller mest er dette en fortelling om kjærlighetens helbredende kraft.

The Bismarck is perhaps the most famous - and notorious - warship ever built. Completed in 1941, the 45,000-ton German battleship sank HMS Hood, the pride of the British Navy, during one of the most sensational encounters in naval history. Following the sinking, Bismarck was chased around the North Atlantic by many units of the Royal Navy. She was finally dispatched with gunfire and torpedoes on 27 May, less than five months after her completion. Her wreck still lies where she sank, 4,800m down and 960km off the west coast of France. Drawing on new research and technology, this edition is the most comprehensive examination of Bismarck ever published. It includes a complete set of detailed line drawings with fully descriptive keys and full-colour 3D artwork, supported by technical details, photographs and text on the building of the ship and a record of the ship's service history.

Robert Leckie was 21 when he enlisted in the US Marine Corps in January 1942. In Helmet for My Pillow we follow his journey, from boot camp on Parris Island, South Carolina, all the way to the raging battles in the Pacific, where some of the war's fiercest fighting took place. Recounting his service with the 1st Marine Division and the brutal action on Guadalcanal, New Britain and Peleliu, Leckie spares no detail of the horrors and sacrifice of war, painting an unsentimental portrait of how real warriors are made, fight, and all too often die in the defence of their country.From the live-for-today rowdiness of Marines on leave to the terrors of jungle warfare against an enemy determined to fight to the last man, Leckie describes what it's really like when victory can only be measured inch by bloody inch. Unparalleled in its immediacy and accuracy, Helmet for My Pillow tells the gripping true story of an ordinary soldier fighting in extraordinary conditions. This is a book that brings you as close to the mud, the blood, and the experience of war as it is safe to come.'Helmet for My Pillow is a grand and epic prose poem.
