‎Oxford, Bern, Peter Lang, 2014. 278 Seiten. Originalbroschur.‎

‎SEHR gutes Exemplar der ERSTAUSGABE. SIGNIERT mit WIDMUNG des Autors, datiert April 2014. BEILIEGT: Ausführlicher handschriftlicher BRIEF des AUTORS , datiert 21.12. 2013 in deutscher Sprache, Albrecht Haushofer betreffend , an einen deutschen Leser. - At the height of the Second World War, Hitler's Deputy, Rudolf Hess, made a dramatic solo flight to the British Isles. His arrival there was sensational news - and it baffled everyone. Why had he come Hess claimed he had flown to Britain entirely of his own initiative and was on a personal mission of peace. But so unlikely was the success of such an appeal in Churchill's entrenched Britain that historians continue to wonder at his motives. In this book, Peter Raina publishes, for the first time, complete texts of Hess's 'peace proposals' and a treatise he wrote in captivity outlining how he saw Nazi Germany's role in Europe. These texts throw considerable light on Hess's mission and also on how the Nazi leadership saw their programme of expansion and their relations with Britain. Disconcertingly single-minded and an unashamed disciple of Hitler, Hess was at heart an idealist. His friend and confidant Albrecht Haushofer was an idealist of a different kind, and joined the German Resistance Movement. The frame story of this book relates how the two men moved to their tragic ends. ( NEUDRUCK auf ANFRAGE : 78 Euro )‎

‎Rajesh Talwar‎

‎The Vanishing of Subhash Bose: The Mystery Unlocked‎

‎ABOUT THE BOOK WHAT REALLY HAPPENED!!!!! FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, CLEAR AND CONVINCING EXPLANATIONS. Netaji Bose, who led the Indian National Army to wage battles against the British, allegedly died in an air crash in Taipei, Taiwan soon after the Second World War came to an end. Did he really die in the air crash or was it a fabrication? This question was considered by three inquiry commissions, the last of which came to the clear conclusion that there was in fact no air crash. Each report is carefully dissected by the author, a trained international lawyer and public intellectual. If Bose did not in fact die in the air crash, where did he go, what happened to him, and when, where and how did he meet his end? Why did Prime Minister Nehru keep Bose-related files away from the first committee that conducted an enquiry? Why did India's first prime minister order that surveillance be carried out on the Bose family for decades? Why did Prime Minister Morarji Desai speak of new evidence that challenged the conclusions of the first two inquiries that Bose had died in an air crash? Why did Desai subsequently fall silent? This book provides explanations on all the important questions that have plagued Indian minds for decades. The mystery behind the springing tiger's disappearance is finally unlocked. If Gandhi's non-violent struggle represented the feminine spirit of 'ahimsa' Bose and the INA's struggle represented Indian manhood in its fullest flowering. In freedom struggles across the world, some of those who fought the hardest are subsequently ignored. If we apply the necessary corrective to the history of Indian independence, the author argues, we will change India's view of itself and its place in the world, past, present and future. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rajesh Talwar has studied at Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Nottingham and Delhi University for longer and shorter durations, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. He has worked for the United Nations in Somalia, Liberia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Timor-Leste.

‎Dara Shukuh : Captive Visionary of His Times [Hardcover]‎

‎ABOUT THE BOOK:- This book deals with the times, life and works of Dara Shukuh as a Sufi scholar and a military man subsumed under Akhlalq working for social cohesion within Akbar's dominant state ideology. His effort at raptures produced biographies, translations of the Upanishads, quatrains, calligraphy, architecture, astronomy and painting album. The book deals with his loves, travails, turbulence and heinous martyrdom owing to his vision and constrains of the times he lived in. This crystal tower was brought to dust owing to treachery, limited vision of his orthodox and ambitious co-brothers. He became a path blazer within the paradigm of the seventeenth century anticipating Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ravindra Nath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi and Jawahar Lal Nehru, by challenging orthodoxy. The book contextualises him in the times as part of the opposition between orthodoxy and heterodoxy around the grid of equality of religions and not priority of a religion. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Dr. Rakesh Gupta (b. 1946) retired as a Professor from Centre for Political Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University after thirty years and at Motilal Nehru College, DU (11 years), Executive Editor of Mainstream, a Junior Fellow, ICHR and Senior Fellow ICSSR attached to the IDSA, Visiting Professor IIT, Guwahati (2014), Visiting Fellow to Central University, Hyderabad (2015).

‎RALPH [LORDY] EC LORD, CAPTAIN ROYAL CANADIAN ENGINEERS E C‎

‎1940s ARCHIVE OF ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN AND TYPED WORLD WAR II CORRESPONDENCE DETAILING A SOLDIER SERVING OVERSEAS IS TRYING TO MAINTAIN HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS CHILDREN WHILE HIS MARRIAGE TO A CONNIVING WIFE IS ENDING‎

‎ENGLAND Montreal UK CANADA. Very Good. 1960. On offer is an archive of forty-nine 49 handwritten letters and airgrammes one typed written by Ralph C.E. Lord known as 'Lordy' a man who is for the most part a captain in the Royal Canadian Engineers. The letters cover the period of late 1943 through to the end of 1945 and one dated 1946. On the one hand the letters show a joviality especially for his two children Patricia and William but in other communications there is the terrible sadness of a marriage in hell and on the cusp of divorce which in one of the letters near the end deals with precisely that. Ralph seems to be barely keeping things together - he is stoically allowing his wife to claim the divorce is his fault for the sake of appearances with the children even though the opposite appears to be true. Ralph in other letters complained how his wife's inappropriate actions leading to a penalty fine and Ralph's temporary loss of his captaincy. He has covered up for her for the sake of the children. In another heartbreaking letter Ralph who now that the war has ended is trying to start a business in the UK apologizes profusely to the children for his inability to send presents for Christmas. This archive is a rare peak into a man's heartbreaking situation which most likely was more common an occurence in the war years than one imagines. Also rare to see a man to be so emotive yet still maintain his self esteem.
