Full title: "Konventioneller Krieg Oder NS-Weltanschauungskrieg Kriegführung und Partisanenbekämpfung in Frankreich 1943/44." Wehrmacht in der NS-Diktatur In der Debatte über die Wehrmacht und ihre Verbrechen blieb der Kriegsschauplatz im Westen weitgehend ausgespart. Dabei hatten die Kämpfe der Wehrmacht gegen die Westalliierten und die französische Widerstandsbewegung während der Jahre 1943/44 kriegsentscheidende Bedeutung. Inwieweit gelang es der deutschen Führung auch im Westen einen "Weltanschauungskrieg" zu entfesseln Welche Rückwirkungen hatten die Erfahrungen im Ostkrieg auf die Kämpfe in Frankreich Gab es Unterschiede zwischen Wehrmacht und Waffen-SS Existierten an der Truppenbasis Handlungsspielräume die sich sowohl in die eine wie die andere Richtung nutzen ließen Peter Lieb erörtert diese Fragen erstmals auf breiter Quellengrundlage und schließt damit eine große Forschungslücke. Die 2005 an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München angenommene Dissertation wurde mit dem Prix Guillaume Fichet - Octave Simon und dem Werner-Hahlweg-Förderpreis ausgezeichnet. "Peter Liebs umfangreiche gründlich recherchierte und klar argumentierende Untersuchung über die deutsche Westfront 1943/44 ist ein gewichtiger Beitrag zu aktuellen Kontroversen und Polemiken über die Verbrechen der Wehrmacht deren Hauptaugenmerk fast ausschließlich auf die Balkanländer Polen und Russland gerichtet war und Nordafrika und Frankreich vernachlässigte." -- Prof. Dr. Michael Burleigh.

Bilingualism: Its Relationship with Intelligence and Academic Achievement
Kuala Lumpur: University of Malaya Press 2004. First edition. Paperback. As New. Although in multi-lingual countries more often than not it is speakers of minority languages who are bilingual there's often a hope that the majority language speakers might pick up the habit as well.

The book includes suggestions of how to bring this about based on the author's research. 128 pages. For further details please see the scanned contents page Weight 0.4kg.
