In September 1944, the Allies believed that Hitler's army was beaten & expected that the war would be over by Christmas. But the disastrous Allied airborne landing in Holland, American setbacks on the German border & in the Hürtgen Forest, together w/ the bitter Battle of the Bulge, drastically altered that timetable. Hastings tells the story of both the Eastern & Western Fronts, & paints a vivid portrait of the Red Army's onslaught on Hitler's empire. He has searched the archives of the major combatants & interviewed 170 survivors to give us an unprecedented understanding of how the great battles were fought, & of their human impact on American, British, German & Russian soldiers & civilians. Hastings raises provocative questions: Were the Western Allied cause & campaign compromised by a desire to get the Soviets to do most of the fighting? Why were the Russians & Germans more effective soldiers than the Americans & British? Why did the bombing of Germany's cities continue until the last weeks of the war, when it could no longer influence the outcome? Why did the Germans prove more fanatical foes than the Japanese, fighting to the bitter end? This book also contains vivid portraits of Stalin, Churchill, Eisenhower, Montgomery, & the other giants of the struggle. The crucial final months of the 20th century's greatest global conflict come alive in this stirring & revelatory chronicle.* MAX HASTINGS was a foreign correspondent & the editor of Britain's Evening Standard & the Daily Telegraph. He has presented historical documentaries for BBC TV, & is the author of 18 books, including "Bomber Command" which earned the Somerset Maugham Award for nonfiction, "The Korean War" and "Overlord: D-Day and the Battle for Normandy, 1944". He lives outside London. * SHIPPING: We custom wrap, label & securely package this fine book with our greatest elegance & care for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the United States (or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for an additional charge), or for prompt delivery to international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL MAIL at below-cost rates quoted on requesst.

Now, in the first authorized biography of Yeats to appear in over 50 years, leading Irish historian R.F. Foster travels beyond Yeats's towering image as arguably the century's greatest poet to restore a real sense of Yeats's extraordinary life as Yeats himself experienced it--what he saw, what he did, the passions & the petty squabbles that consumed him, & his alchemical ability to transmute the events of his crowded & contradictory life into enduring art. In the first volume of this long-awaited biography, Foster covers the poet's first 50 years, bringing new light to bear on Yeats's heroic & often ruthless efforts to invent himself as a poet & public figure. Drawn from a fascinating archive of personal & contemporary documents w/ the cooperation of surviving members of the Yeats family, it dramatically alters long-held assumptions about the poet's background, his relationship w/ Maud Gonne & other women, & his roles in the great cultural & political upheavals that transformed Ireland in his lifetime. A rich & entertaining account of Yeats's boyhood days amidst the talented but troubled members of the Yeats and Pollexfen clans provides important insight into the poet's deep & lifelong connection to the Irish landscape, his early, impassioned embrace of the nationalist cause, & his later retreat to the traditions of the once grand Protestant aristocracy. In his own day Yeats attracted enemies & admirers w/ equal passion, & Foster vividly recreates the friendships, love affairs, & simmering rivalries that swirled about the poet's circles in London, Dublin, & Coole Park. Complementing his meticulous scholarship w/ a shrewd wit & a novelist's eye for detail, he chronicles the romantic disappointments, financial difficulties, experimentation w/ hashish & mescal, & the growing preoccupation w/ the occult that prefaced Yeats's attempt to unite Irish politics w/ high culture & his creation of an Irish national theater. Here are the poet's memorable encounters w/ many of the most interesting people of his time, including Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Lady Gregory, J.M. Synge, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, & the wildly diverse leaders of the Irish independence movement. And here at last is a full accounting of the complex bond between Yeats & the incomparable Maud Gonne, revealed as an influence eternally recreated 'like the phoenix,' affecting almost everything he did. Poet, playwright, mystic & revolutionary, lover, confidant, & friend: This brilliant account of the public & private lives of William Butler Yeats illuminates not only the wellspring of his artistic vision, but the modern Irish identity he helped to create. It is essential reading for anyone intrigued by one of the most original & influential voices of the 20th century. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
