    1918: Winning the War, Losing the War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
    In 2018, the world will be commemorating the centenary of the end of the First World War.  In many ways, 1918 was the most dramatic year of the conflict. After the defeat of Russia in 1917, the Germans were able to concentrate their forces on the Western Front for the first time in the war, and the German offensives launched from March 1918 onward brought the Western Allies close to defeat. Having stopped the German offensives, the Entente started its counterattacks on all fronts with the assistance of fresh US troops, driving the Germans back, and by November 1918 the Central Powers had been defeated.  This new study is a multiauthor work containing 10 chapters by some of the best historians of the First World War from around the world. It provides an overview and analysis of the different levels of war for each of the main armies involved within the changing context of the reality of warfare in 1918. It also looks in detail at the war at sea and in the air and considers the aftermath and legacy of the First World War. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neil Gardner.

    Die bedrängte Großmacht
    Als ausgewiesener Kenner der Politik der europäischen Großmächte weist Konrad Canis erstmals umfassend nach, wie begrenzt die Handlungsspielräume waren, die Österreich-Ungarn zwischen der Schlacht von Königgrätz und dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs zur Verfügung standen. Mehr als jede andere Großmacht war die Doppelmonarchie inneren und äußeren Zwängen ausgesetzt. Ihre Politik verfolgte eine defensive Strategie, zielte nur begrenzt auf Eroberung; auf dem Balkan ging es um die Aufrechterhaltung einer Dominanz im Hintergrund. Die nationalen Gegensätze innen und außen sollten kleingehalten werden. Innere Instabilität, die wirtschaftliche und militärische Zweitrangigkeit, aber auch das Vormachtstreben Deutschlands im Bündnis und die Abstinenz Englands hemmten Österreich-Ungarn. Nutznießer war der Hauptrivale Rußland. Am Vorabend des Ersten Weltkriegs sollte Österreich nach den Plänen der russischbritisch- französischen Entente im Falle eines großen Konfliktes einem fatalen Doppelkrieg gegen Rußland und Serbien ausgesetzt werden. Als 1914 überraschend die Möglichkeit aufschien, Österreich könnte dem großen Krieg durch einen allein gegen Serbien entgehen, erwies sich Wien jedoch als unfähig, diese - freilich geringe - Chance zu nutzen.

    America's Great-Power Opportunity: Revitalizing U.S. Foreign Policy to Meet the Challenges of Strategic Competition
    It has become axiomatic to contend that U.S. foreign policy must adapt to an era of renewed "great-power competition." The United States went on a quarter-century strategic detour after the Cold War, the argument goes, basking in triumphalism and getting bogged down in the Middle East. Now China and Russia are increasingly challenging its influence and undercutting the order it has led since 1945. How should it respond to these two formidable authoritarian powers?In this timely intervention, Ali Wyne offers the first detailed critique of great-power competition as a foreign policy framework, warning that it could render the United States defensive and reactive. He exhorts Washington to find a middle ground between complacence and consternation, selectively contesting Beijing and Moscow but not allowing their decisions to determine its own course. Analyzing a resurgent China, a disruptive Russia, and a deepening Sino-Russian entente, Wyne explains how the United States can seize the "great-power opportunity" at hand: to manage all three of those phenomena confidently while renewing itself at home and abroad.

    A Line in the Sand: Britain, France and the struggle that shaped the Middle East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 907min
    In 1916, in the middle of the First World War, two men secretly agreed to divide the Middle East between them. Sir Mark Sykes was a visionary politician; François Georges-Picot a diplomat with a grudge. The deal they struck, which was designed to relieve tensions that threatened to engulf the Entente Cordiale, drew a line in the sand from the Mediterranean to the Persian frontier. Territory north of that stark line would go to France; land south of it, to Britain. Against the odds their pact survived the war to form the basis for the postwar division of the region into five new countries Britain and France would rule. The creation of Britain's 'mandates' of Palestine, Transjordan and Iraq, and France's in Lebanon and Syria, made the two powers uneasy neighbours for the following 30 years.Through a stellar cast of politicians, diplomats, spies and soldiers, including T. E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle, A Line in the Sand vividly tells the story of the short but crucial era when Britain and France ruled the Middle East. It explains exactly how the old antagonism between these two powers inflamed the more familiar modern rivalry between the Arabs and the Jews and ultimately led to war between the British and the French in 1941 and between the Arabs and the Jews in 1948.In 1946, after many years of intrigue and espionage, Britain finally succeeded in ousting France from Lebanon and Syria and hoped that, having done so, it would be able to cling on to Palestine. Using newly declassified papers from the British and French archives, James Barr brings this overlooked clandestine struggle back to life and reveals, for the first time, the stunning way in which the French finally got their revenge. ungekürzt.

    The Gallipoli Campaign of World War I: The History and Legacy of the Ottoman Empire's Lone Victory During the Great War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 94min
    Early in the war, the Ottomans knew the Dardanelles strait would most certainly be attacked and had prepared significant defenses. The plan drafted by the then First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, was meant to destroy Ottoman defenses along the Dardanelles. However, Allied forces comprised of British, Irish, Australian, and New Zealand troops were unable to penetrate the Ottoman defenses, advancing only about 100 meters from the shores. The Ottomans, led by German General Liman von Sanders, further reinforced their positions. The later attempt of the British to establish a new beachhead was more successful, yet the British government refused to send significant reinforcements. In December 1915, what was certainly the most successful part of the Gallipoli offensive, the evacuation of the British forces began. The Ottomans' successful defense of the Dardanelles led to Churchill's resignation. More importantly, it bolstered the rising popularity of Mustafa Kemal, then Lieutenant Colonel, and offered hope that the Ottomans could indeed counter-balance their territorial losses. The successful defense of Gallipoli, however, convinced both Enver and Djemal that a second operation should be launched. Reinforcements arrived from Gallipoli and the Ottomans launched the second attempt in August 1916. British forces had, however, moved eastward toward Palestine, and they defeated the Ottoman forces at the Battle of Romani. The battle was the first clear British victory over the Ottomans and their German allies, resulting in a successful counter-offensive that led British General Edmund Allenby in Jerusalem. A final push with the Megiddo offensive and renewed campaign in Mesopotamia brought Entente forces even further into the Ottoman Empire. The Arab revolt has been engraved in modern memories by movies such as Lawrence of Arabia as a widespread nationalistic movement against the cruel Ottoman occupier. The reality is far more complex. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kenneth Ray. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/098439/bk_acx0_098439_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
