Az első világháború mély hatással volt a modern ember gondolkodására, átalakítva Európa politikai rendjét. Emlékművei minden városban és faluban ott állnak, tapasztalatai pedig fél évszázad múltán is élnek. A háború hátterének megértésére törekszem, különös figyelmet szentelve annak a paradoxonak, hogy a harcba szenvedélyesen belemerülők egyben gyűlölték is azt. Minden ország önvédelemből harcolt, de hódításra és előnyök szerzésére is vágyott. Az események súlya alá temette az államférfiakat és tábornokokat, akik a győzelem titkát a tömegben keresték, ám ezt a tömeget nem tudták irányítani. Térkép nélküli hajóskapitányokként vergődtek a viharban. Az ismeretlen katona vált a háború hősévé, akiről a feljegyzések csak számokban emlékeznek meg, de a fényképek életben tartják. A hadviselés mindig is az újítások szülőanyja volt, a fényképezés pedig a Krím háború idején vált nagykorúvá. Az első világháborúban a fényképezőgép megörökítette a hétköznapi emberek életét, bemutatva a harcosokat, a pusztító eszközöket és a háború következményeit. A képek révén nemcsak olvashatunk a háborúról, hanem újra átélhetjük azt. A válogatott fényképek között vannak jól ismert és eddig nem publikált felvételek is, amelyek az embereket mutatják be, így a háború nem csupán elméleti, hanem személyes tapasztalatunkká válik. Ha jobban megértjük, talán urai lehetünk sorsunknak.

J.P.Taylor broke new ground in this study, first published in 1955, of one of the most influential figures in Germany's history. Treating Bismarck as a man of his times, he surveys his political policy and actions, as well as investigating the psychology of a man whose life and achievements continue to be a subject of controversy.

Presents an account of the First World War. This title tells the story of the conflict from the German advance in the West, through the Marne, Gallipoli, the Balkans and the War at Sea to the offensives of 1918 and the state of Europe after the war. Containing photographs and maps, it offers an essential history of the war.

One of the most popular and controversial historians of the twentieth century, who made his subject accessible to millions, A.J.P. Taylor caused a storm of outrage with this scandalous bestseller. Debunking what were accepted truths about the Second World War, he argued provocatively that Hitler did not set out to cause the war as part of an evil master plan, but blundered into it partly by accident, aided by the shortcomings of others. Fiercely attacked for vindicating Hitler, A.J.P. Taylor�s stringent re-examination of the events preceding the Nazi invasion of Poland on 1st September 1939 opened up new debate, and is now recognized as a brilliant and classic piece of scholarly research. �Highly original and penetrating � No one who has digested this enthralling work will ever be able to look at the period again in quite the same way� Sunday Telegraph.

The Last of Old A Photographic Panorama from the 1850s to 1914; A Grand Tour with AJP Taylor

This volume details the many issues, both social and political, that arose as a consequence of World War I, including: the people and the state; self-determination; Britannia's diminishing power; and innovations in conflict.

This book chronicles three decades largely overshadowed by war and mass unemployment. It was a period that saw in England the formation of a national government, the only genuine incidence of three-party politics, the fruition of campaigns for trades union recognition, women's suffrage, and Irish independence, and abroad withdrawal from the Gold Standard and involvement in collective security. Written in Taylor's customary provocative style, this is historical writing at its best. -;This book begins on 4 August 1914, the day Britain entered the 'Great War', and describes the three decades of unparalleled upheaval and change up to the defeat of Japan in 1945, which marked the end of the Second World War.Twin themes of international conflict and mass unemployment in England predominate - besides giving a full account of foreign and domestic politics which were elaborated to deal with them, Taylor also pays particular attention to the impact of events on everyday lives.This book is an essential work from one of the finest historians of the twentieth century, which no one interested in the affairs of the UK will want to be without. -

Biography of the Prussian Prime Minister and chancellor of Germany focuses on his motives and methods, especially during his rise to power in the 1860s and removal from office in 1890.

A history of the Habsburg monarchy from the end of the Holy Roman Empire to the monarchy's dissolution in 1918. The book offers an insight into the problems inherent in the attempt to give peace, stability and common loyalty to a hetergeneous population.

Hanno meno di trent’anni Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels, nel 1848, quando scrivono il "Manifesto del partito comunista": un pugno di pagine all’inizio senza fortuna, poi destinate a cambiare il mondo. Un testo che nel 1989, anno della crisi ufficiale del comunismo, risulta pubblicato in oltre duecento lingue e in mezzo miliardo di copie. Storia e lotta di classe, borghesia e proletariato, lavoro e libertà, proprietà privata e sfruttamento, partito e rivoluzione, capitalismo e comunismo: questi i nodi cruciali di un’idea di uomo, politica e società che ha segnato la carne viva del Novecento. E che oggi sembra scomparsa dalla faccia della Terra, lasciando campo libero a un capitalismo globale, privo di opposizione organizzata. Gli articoli di fede, rabbia e speranza scanditi nel "Manifesto" risultano così, insieme, fuori tempo massimo e più che mai attuali. Perché esortano a immaginare che il capitalismo possa ancora venire messo in questione, in un’epoca apparentemente senza alternative.

A. J. P. Taylor could never be dull, least of all in the essay. The medium was perfect for his qualities. In expression he displayed elegant brevity: in argument paradox: in knowledge lightly-worn mastery. The result was an aphoristic concinnity only perhaps bettered among historians by Macaulay. Faber are reissuing three volumes of essays expertly assembled and introduced by Chris Wrigley. This third volume is the most wide-ranging, including essays on British Prime Ministers from Sir Robert Walpole to Anthony Eden; How Wars Begin; How Wars End; The Congress of Vienna and, one of his more unlikely heroes, Lord Beaverbrook. 'He (Taylor) presented history in a vibrant, living, communicable form with many crucial messages for the present . . . this collection reminds is of his vast contribution.' Andrew Roberts, Daily Telegraph
