‎ALEXANDER AVIRAM WIESEL‎

‎1942 - 1945 HANDWRITTEN ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF 37 HEBREW LANGUAGE LETTERS SENT BY A JEWISH SOLDIER IN THE BRITISH ARMY DEPICTING HIS LIFE AND SERVICE AS WELL AS HIS INTIMATE FEARS AND DESIRES WHILE STATIONED IN THE MIDDLE EAST‎

‎ISRAEL BRITISH MANDATE OF PALESTINE EGYPT LIBYA. Good. 1942. On offer are 37 letters sent from Alexander Aviram Wiesel a Jewish soldier in the British Army from 1942-1945. Alexander had volunteered into the British army beginning in 1942 during the height of World War Two. He was assigned to the 1st Camouflage Company and later to the Mechanical & Electrical Company No. 544 which was part of the British Royal Engineers in the Eighth Army where he was sent to Egypt and to the Western Desert. The company operated the water supply system installed by the British. They were split into small units scattered along hundreds of kilometers of the water pipe. Early in 1945 the company was transferred to southern Italy and was in charge of maintenance of electrical installations water supply and hospitals. The company was dismantled in 1946 and he was discharged and returned to Palestine. These letters were written by Alexander to his Jewish teacher and friend in British Mandated Palestine. All of the letters are handwritten in Hebrew script and some are written on Jewish Brigade stationary. All were sent during his army service in Egypt Mersa Matruh the Western Desert and Libya Tobruk and Tripoli. They describe in intimate detail his experiences throughout his service from the time he reached Egypt to his move to Italy in 1945 until his return home. These letters capture some insights on his difficulties and loneliness as a soldier. In a letter dated October 8 1942 he speaks candidly of his fear of death in the World War. On the opposite spectrum of emotion his pride and joy when the Jewish flag is hoisted on the pole for the first time in their army camp is palpable and fascinating February 15 1943. He also speaks of the anger against the British government’s accusations that the Jewish soldiers are serving in the army for the sole purpose of obtaining weapons for the Haganah the Jewish paramilitary force in the British Mandate of Palestine 30 Nov 43 and much more. The archive also includes two photos of Wiesel. The first is a loose photograph showing Wiesel in casual clothing. It has the year 1941 written on the back. It is wallet sized. The other photograph measuring no more than 2 inches by 1 inch is pasted onto a 1943 New-Year greeting card with a red seal mark depicting a rifle and a Star of David. This will make an excellent addition to any collection of Jewish Military History in WWII as well as a great addition to detailed and intimate Hebrew language experiences of 20th century warfare.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ALEXANDER AVIRAM WIESEL JEWISH SOLDIER BRITISH ARMY BRITISH MANDATE OF PALESTINE WORLD WAR TWO 1ST CAMOUFLAGE COMPANY MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL COMPANY 544 BRITISH ROYAL ENGINEERS EIGHTH ARMY MIDDLE EAST THEATRE WESTERN DESERT HEBREW LANGUAGE MERSA MATRUH EGYPT LIBYA TRIPOLI HOLY LAND PRE-STATE ISRAEL JEWS IN THE MILITARY JEWISH EXPERIENCE IN THE BRITISH ARMY DESCRIPTION OF WAR IN HEBREW JUDAICA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D’ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover‎

‎Alexander der Große / König von Makedonien - Lane Fox, Robin‎

‎Alexander der Große : Eroberer der Welt. Aus dem Engl. von Gerhard Beckmann‎

‎Stuttgart : Klett-Cotta 2004. 807 S. : ca. 50 Abb. u. Ktn; 24 cm Gewebe, gebundene Ausgabe, rotes Leinen, im Schuber, Exemplar in gutem Erhaltungszustand‎

‎Alexander the Great -- Dieses Buch ist mehr als eine Biographie: Es zeigt ebenso den genialsten Feldherrn der Weltgeschichte wie den kultivierten, Homer-begeisterten Mann, der die Grundlagen des Hellenismus schuf. Zugleich läßt Robin Lane Fox 'unübertroffene' sprachliche Meisterschaft die ganze Farbenpracht einer Weltepoche lebendig werden. Robin Lane Fox Werk gilt in der englischsprachigen Welt als die meistgelesene und bestgeschriebene Darstellung Alexanders des Großen und seiner Zeit. Ausgezeichnet mit mehreren Preisen für seine Erzählkunst, beschreibt der Autor mit beispielloser Eindringlichkeit die leidenschaftliche Begeisterung des großen Makedonen für die Welt Homers und seiner Helden: Als neuer 'Achill', rücksichtslos, hochfahrend und voller Tatendrang, unterwarf Alexander Ägypten und besiegte die Perser. Als er im Alter von nur 34 Jahren starb, hinterließ er ein Reich, das sich weit über die Grenzen der bis dahin bekannten Welt erstreckte. Zum erstenmal europäisierte der belesene Schüler des Aristoteles den Orient und schuf so die Voraussetzungen für eine griechischhellenistische Weltkultur, die bis heute nachwirkt. Robin Lane Fox deutet griechische und römische Quellen auf neue Weise und verarbeitet wichtige archäologische Erkenntnisse. Auf der Grundlage ägyptischer, babylonischer, persischer und indischer Quellen erzählt der Autor von Alexanders Begegnungen mit fremden Menschen, Ländern und Kulturen.

‎The Reluctant Legionnaire‎

‎<p>New York: Dutton 1956 1st Am. ed. 189pp. hardback 8vo: Very Good in a Good dj hint of shelf rubbing; else VG A marvelous true story of the rescue of an eccentric Englishman West de Wend Fenton 1927-2002 from the clutches of the French Foreign Legion in Algeria in 1955. "Beau West" had impulsively and foolishly joined the Legion only a few months earlier with the classic rationale of forgetting a spurned proposal of marriage. Several days of drowning his sorrows in drink had set him on his impetuous course. He saw a moment of battle action against Arab tribesmen but spent most of his time in various Legion stockades for attempted desertion. The author of this "escapade" helped to rescue Fenton and this story is as much about Michael Alexander 1920-2004 a relation of Field Marshal Alexander and a prisoner at Colditz during World War II as it is about his subject. Once safely back on English soil Fenton married the woman for whom he had joined the Legion. An entertaining improbable quintessentially English story. The moral of this tale which is the moral of all memoirs about joining the Foreign Legion is "don't do it!"</p> New York: Dutton hardcover‎
