Collective
The Salonica Theatre of Operations and the Outcome of the Great War
<p>Proceedings of an International Conference April 16-18 2002. Papers in English or French. Soft cover 24 cm 448 pp.</p><p>The proceedings of the International Conference "The Salonica Theatre of Operations and the Outcome of the Great War" organised in Thessaloniki on April 16th – 18th 2002 by the Foundation and the Institute for Balkan studies are contained in this publication. This is a collective publication with the participation of distinguished Greek and foreign scientists aiming at the projection of the substantial contribution of the Salonica Theatre of Operations to the outcome of the First World War as Thessaloniki was the starting point of the victorious counter attack in September 1918 that led to the gradual capitulation of Bulgaria the Ottoman Empire Austria-Hungary and finally Germany. The front of Thessaloniki might have been one of the most discreet regarding concentration of military power strategic priorities and losses but it made up in an effective way for its three-year existence. These historical facts  have been underestimated by international historians. On the occasion of study and analysis of a historic event this publication attempts to fill this gap by emphasising on the geostrategic importance of the broader Greek territory.</p><p><strong>CONTENTS:</strong></p><ul><li>Foreword</li><li>Pery Lafazani & Myron Myridis Approche geographique de la region de Macedoine en 1900-1920</li><li>Yannis Mourelos Le front d'Orient en 1916 - Enjeux et strategies</li><li>Holger Atflerbach Greece and the Balkan Area in German Strategy 1914-1918</li><li>Georgi Markov The Southern Front in Bulgaria's Foreign Policy and Strategy</li><li>A.

Eleanor Herman
MISTRESS OF THE VATICAN - The True Story of Olimpia Maidalchini: The Secret Female Pope
<p>In English. Hard coverjacket 22 cm 404 pp. ill.; net weight 680 gr.</p><p>"We have just elected a female Pope" opined Cardinal Alessandro Bichi in 1644 and for 11 years after Olimpia Maidalchini sister-in-law and reputed mistress of the indecisive Pope Innocent X directed Vatican business appointed cardinals negotiated with foreign ambassadors and helped herself to a heaping portion of the Papal State's treasury. And as the author points out here unlike the enigmatic 9th-century Pope Joan Olimpia's story is documented in thousands of letters news sheets and diplomatic dispatches. Eleanor Herman gives us not only Donna Olimpia's career but also a startling portrait of 17th-century Rome where kleptomania was rampant and a pope's dead body might be left naked stripped by his own servants. "Born into a family of average means Maidalchini rebelled successfully against her father's plans to place her in a convent. This early triumph gave her a will that she'd eventually use to grab the ultimate seat of power in 17th-century Italy the Papacy through the likely accomplice of her indecisive brother-in-law a lawyer with holy orders who was dazzled by Maidalchini's intelligence planning and accounting capabilities. He submitted to her plans and she eventually ushered him into power as Pope Innocent X. As her wealth and strength grow so does the resentment around her but her fate would be sealed by the bubonic plague. Exhaustively researched with historical vignettes interwoven seamlessly Herman's latest provides a window into an age of empire nepotism and intrigue that rivals any novel for fascinating reading."— <em>Publishers Weekly</em> starred review.</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>================================================</p><p><b>IMPORTANT: The shipping cost in not included in the price.
