Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers tells the compelling story of the Jewish Brigade Infantry Group (JBG), a five-thousand-strong military unit, recruited primarily from the Jewish population of Palestine, and the only exclusively Jewish military unit to fight under the British flag during the Second World War. Gianluca Fantoni reconstructs the military and human experience of the brigade in Italy and investigates its enduring and controversial place in memory and public debate.Formed in 1944, the JBG saw combat in the final stages of the Italian campaign, where its soldiers fought with distinction against German forces. After the war, many of its members who often had little or no military training, and included artists, scientists, and farmers engaged in clandestine efforts to smuggle Holocaust survivors and weapons into Palestine, laying the groundwork for the future Israeli state. Others sought retribution against Nazis and collaborators in acts that revealed both the trauma of genocide and the desire for justice.Far more than a conventional military history, Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers is both a critical study of the political uses of history and a vivid, passionate narrative that brings to life the men and women of the brigade. Accessible and engaging, this book offers readers a rare lens through which to understand the intersections of war, memory, and politics in twentieth-century Europe. Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers tells the compelling story of the Jewish Brigade Infantry Group (JBG), a five-thousand strong military unit that was the only exclusively Jewish military unit to fight under the British flag during the Second World War.

Cartonato. Condition: new. Torino, 2022; cartonato, pp. 240, cm 16,1x23,6.(Einaudi. Storia). Un'indagine sull'unica unità combattente che nella Seconda guerra mondiale vide tra le sue file ebrei della Palestina. Un libro che è, al contempo, la riscoperta di una vicenda vera, ma mai raccontata sul serio, e una riflessione sull'uso pubblico e politico della storia. La Brigata ebraica fu una brigata inquadrata nell'esercito britannico, nata nel 1944 per operare in Italia, composta soprattutto (ma non solo) da ebrei, molti dei quali provenienti dalla Palestina. Questo libro è importante per almeno due ragioni. In primo luogo non vi è sostanzialmente nessun lavoro storiografico su questa vicenda straordinaria: gli ebrei d'Europa, durante la Shoah, trovano un'occasione di riscatto a guerra ancora in corso, combattendo contro i nazifascisti nel teatro bellico italiano. In secondo luogo, in Italia, negli ultimi anni, la presenza della Brigata ebraica nelle manifestazioni del 25 aprile è stata occasione di forte conflitto, tra comunità ebraiche e simpatizzanti di sinistra filopalestinesi. Spesso, nell'ambito di questa diatriba, si sostengono tesi storiograficamente errate sia sulla Brigata ebraica sia sul legame negli anni Quaranta tra palestinesi e nazismo. È il momento di riformulare questo dibattito - in modo pacato - partendo da fatti concreti e non da leggende militanti. La Brigata ebraica - Jewish Brigade Group - fu l'unica unità combattente che vide tra le sue file ebrei di Palestina. Si batté in Italia, e solo in Italia. Perché un libro sulla Brigata ebraica? Prima di tutto perché la vicenda è di estremo interesse. La nascita della Brigata ebraica, il suo impiego operativo, la sua eredità militare e morale si intrecciano con una serie di fatti storici e di questioni storiografiche di grande rilevanza. La storia della Brigata ebraica getta nuova luce su queste vicende e permette di guardare a tali questioni da un punto di vista inconsueto. Tra questi temi si devono annoverare: la storia della Palestina negli anni Trenta e Quaranta; la storia del sionismo; il rapporto tra fascismo e mondo islamico. Inoltre la Brigata ebraica ha fatto notizia negli ultimi anni a causa delle polemiche sorte per la presenza di manifestanti che hanno sfilato con le sue bandiere, bianche e blu con la Stella di Davide, dunque le bandiere di Israele, al corteo del 25 aprile, festa della Liberazione. Questo libro parla quindi della "riscoperta" della Brigata ebraica, e di come la sua storia sia stata pubblicizzata da alcuni gruppi di pressione che sono una componente importante dell'ebraismo italiano. Si discute anche degli attacchi alla Brigata che sono arrivati da altri gruppi. Entrambe queste posizioni sono analizzate con attenzione come casi esemplari di un uso pubblico e politico della storia. Libro.
