Access Britain's Two World Wars against Germany: Myth, Memory and the Distortions of Hindsight (Cambridge Military Histories (Hardcover))

Read Here: https://hitorigotobooks.blogspot.lu/?ZW9MKNG=B00N4PM074

In "Britain's Two World Wars"', author Brian Bond attempts to impose some necessary perspective on our understanding of the British role in the two World Wars of the 20th Century.  Typically, the First World War is seen as a bloody disaster in which donkeys led lions through an unnecessary bloodbath to a failed peace.  The Second World War is seen as a uniquely heroic victory led by a stubborn and courageous Britain.
In fact, as the author will establish, both views suffer the distortions of hindsight.  Britain's role in the 1914-18 conflict was more creditable, and its role in the 1939-45 war far less dominant, than popular memory holds.  In a brisk discussion that touches large portions of the post-conflict literature for both wars, the author makes his case for a more nuanced appreciation.  It is a fascinating survey lit by solid argument, and very well recommended to students of the two conflicts.

Access Killing Orders: Talat Pasha’s Telegrams and the Armenian Genocide (Palgrave Studies in the History of Genocide)

Read Here: https://hitorigotobooks.blogspot.gr/?9UR7SPT=B0798MFM1B

The book represents an earthquake in genocide studies, particularly in the field of Armenian Genocide research. A unique feature of the Armenian Genocide has been the long-standing efforts of successive Turkish governments to deny its historicity and to hide the documentary evidencesurrounding it. This book provides a major clarification of the often blurred lines between facts and truth in regard to these events. The authenticity of the killing orders signed by Ottoman Interior Minister Talat Pasha and the memoirs of the Ottoman bureaucrat Naim Efendi have been two of the most contested topics in this regard. The denialist school has long argued that these documents and memoirs were all forgeries, produced by Armenians to further their claims. Taner Akçam provides the evidence to refute the basis of these claims and demonstrates clearly why the documents can be trusted as authentic, revealing the genocidal intent of the Ottoman-Turkish government towards its Armenian population. As such, this work removes a cornerstone from the denialist edifice, and further establishes the historicity of the Armenian Genocide.    Read more

Audiobook Dissonant Heritages and Memories in Contemporary Europe (Palgrave Studies in Cultural Heritage and Conflict)

Read Here: https://hitorigotobooks.blogspot.com.ng/?9TUY7RS=B07WGSHFSB

This open access book discusses political, economic, social, and humanitarian challenges that influence both how people deal with their past and how they build their identities in contemporary Europe. Ongoing debates on migration, on local, national, inter- and transnational levels, prove that it is a divisive issue with regards to understanding European integration and identity. At the same time, the European Union increasingly invests in projects related to European heritage, museums, and cultural memory networks, while having to take dissonant heritages into account. These processes in their combination offer an interesting dynamic and form the complex puzzle that poses challenging questions for anyone involved in academic research, heritage practices, and policy debates. With this puzzle at its core, this book explicitly focuses on slippery and transforming notions of Europe and critically discusses ongoing and transforming power structures of heritage and memory in today’s Europe. The book combines theoretical and methodological contributions to the debates on European heritage and memory studies and in-depth analyses of empirical case studies. Its main aim is to bring research fields concerning memory and heritage into a closer dialogue and thus explore the cultural and political dynamics of contemporary Europe.

Audiobook What Is History Now?

Read Here: https://hitorigotobooks.blogspot.ca/?4XAFOGN=0333986466

E. H. Carr's What is History? was originally published by Macmillan in 1961. Since then it has sold hundreds of thousands of copies throughout the world. In this book, ten internationally renowned scholars, writing from a range of historical vantage points, answer Carr's question for a new generation of historians: What does it mean to study history at the start of the Twenty-first century? This volume stands alongside Carr's classic, paying tribute to his seminal enquiry while moving the debate into new territory, to ensure its freshness and relevance for a new century of historical study.

Read History in Crisis? Recent Directions in Historiography (2nd Edition)

Read Here: https://hitorigotobooks.blogspot.com.eg/?CP4IHY7=0131835521

Don't let the size fool you. Wilson has packed a lot of knowledge and insight into a slim volume, so you should treat it like a book three times its size, and give yourself extra time to digest everything.
YOU PROBABLY WON'T GET IT ALL IN ONE READING
His main arguments are easy enough for undergraduate and graduate students to discern, as long as they know not to get bogged down in the names, titles, and references to various theories. How to do this? When I read it, I put a mark in the margin for each name ("n"), source/book ("s"), and theory ("t") so that I could come back to those later. I resisted the urge to look up any of it on the first reading.
AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE FIELD
I've found that return visits are rewarding. I have often encountered the authors or discussions about them elsewhere by that time, and I understand more about what he is saying. I've found it useful to think of this as a kind of annotated bibliography of important works in the field of history. He shares just enough to give you a sense of what he is talking about. Chances are, if he mentions someone's name in the book, then they'll be worth reading in more depth later.
COVERAGE LIMITED, BUT GOOD INTRO TO THE FIELD
Of course, his coverage is far from exhaustive. There are many other significant contributions to the field that I would have liked to have seen discussed in there. However, he provides a good starting point for those who want to know more about the origins, current trends, and future directions for the field.
OTHER BOOKS TO SEE
Much more easily digestible (but bigger) books that address similar issues include 
Telling the Truth about History
That Noble Dream: The 'Objectivity Question' and the American Historical Profession (Ideas in Context)
The Idea of History: With Lectures 1926-1928
      (an oldy, but a goody), and 
The Historian's Craft
      (also old, but wonderful).

Ebook The Hauntology of Everyday Life

Read Here: https://hitorigotobooks.blogspot.com.eg/?FKL9UJE=B09D2QLLMV

This volume develops a comprehensive framework for applying the theory of hauntology to everyday life from ethnographic and clinical points of view. The central argument of the book is that all human experience is fundamentally haunted, and that a shift from ontological theory of subjective experience to a hauntological one is necessary and has urgent implications. Building on the notion of hauntology outlined by Derrida, the discussions are developed within the frameworks of psychoanalytic theory, specifically Jacques Lacan’s object relational theory of ego development and his structural reading of Freud’s theory of the psychic apparatus and its dynamics; along with the Hegelian ontology of the negative and its later modifications by 20th century philosophers such as Heidegger and Derrida; and the semiotics of difference introduced by Saussure and worked by Jakobson and others. This book argues and demonstrates the immediate relevance of hauntological analysis in everyday life by providing a microanalysis of the roles played by power, meaning and desire; and by using vignettes and data from ethnographic research and clinical settings, as well as references to literature, movies and other cultural products.
