‎Anti-Facism, World War II‎

‎They Are Sending Them To Die In The Sahara!"World War II Anti-Fascism Deportation Broadside 1941‎

‎1941. World-War II Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee They Are Sending Them To Die In The Sahara!. Barsky Edward K. New York: Emergency Committee to Stop Deportations to the Sahara Desert 1941. Measuring 10.25" x 8". Single page brown flyer with black borders and bold black text. A scarce World War II flyer written by head of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee Edward K. Barsky urging Americans to contact the Vichy French Embassy and the U.S. Secretary of State to intervene in the forced deportation of European anti-fascists to the Sahara Desert. The Pro German Pétain authoritarian government participated in Jewish expulsions and turned France into a quasi-police state arresting and deporting dissenting activists. The flyer boasts outrage as "The Pertain Government plans to deport to the Sahara Desert over 100000 anti-fascist refugees; they are being condemned to forced labor in the construction of the Trans-Saharan Railroad; thousands have been deported already.". Even so he surfaces the expansive nature of those who are being deported noting that "These 100000 include interned soldiers of Republican Spain men of the international brigades Germans Czechs Poles Yugoslavs Greeks Hungarians Italians Austrians and even Frenchmen". In a stark call to action Barsky encourages the reader to "Write or wire ambassador Gaston Henri-Haye French Embassy Washington D.C. Insist that the deportations to certain death in the Sahara be stopped immediately". Interesting and early example of a warning to the U.S. public of the Fascist induced refugee crisis and of Jewish people in concentration camps. In very good condition. No copies in OCLC Worldcat as per this writing. unknown‎

Battaglia tra le più importanti della Seconda guerra mondiale, Stalingrado rappresentò la prima grave sconfitta di Hitler sul fronte orientale e accelerò il corso degli eventi che portarono alla sua caduta finale. Dopo aver fornito una descrizione dettagliata delle forze contrapposte e analizzato le caratteristiche dei comandanti e il modo in cui essi influirono sullo sviluppo delle operazioni, l'autore si chiede perché i tedeschi si fecero distrarre dal loro obiettivo principale per concentrare enormi risorse umane e materiali su uno secondario. Le illustrazioni e le mappe presenti nel libro indicano i dettagli degli schieramenti e dei movimenti delle unità impegnate sul campo, nonché le difficoltà tattiche che portarono per quasi cinque mesi a una serie di violenti combattimenti edificio per edificio, casa per casa, in una città semidistrutta.‎

‎ANTOINE H. POIDEBARD, (1878-1955).‎

‎[VOYAGE AT THE CROSSROADS OF THE PERSIAN ROUTES] Iran yollari mültekasinda seyahat. [= Voyages; au carrefour des routes de Perse]. Translated by Nazmi-Emin.‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) ÖNT14 In aesthetic modern dark black cloth bdg. with Ottoman lettered gilt and embossing. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script. [4], 138 p., 1 folding huge map. Hegira: 1341 = Gregorian: 1925. First and Only Edition. A rare travel book printed in the Ottoman Empire. Antoine Poidebard, (1878-1955) was a French archaeologist and Jesuit missionary. He pioneered aerial archaeology in the Middle East. In 1925, during his flights in the Syrian desert, Poidebard discovered tiny reliefs thanks to the shadows brought to the ground by the evening shining light, which revealed geometric structures. It was on this basis that he became the first known airborne prospector, as he was able to map all the layout of the Roman limes using the technical means of the air force. Aerial archeology was born. The air explorer Raymond Chevallier identifies two periods of study in the works of Antoine Poidebard: A first, from 1925 to 1932, during which the researches of Antoine Poidebard fixed the course of the Imperial Limes of Basrah at Palmyra and the Tigris; A second, from 1932 to 1942, which made it possible to specify the Roman organization of the rear of the Euphrates and the Orontes. The result of his work is 550 hours of flight divided into 250 missions during which were taken thousands of photographs on a zone of 1,000 kilometers over 300 kilometers.
