Even the best books on international history are ignorant of the secret war against the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union waged jointly by the Caucasian peoples and Japan in the first half of the twentieth century. This book explores and exposes previously unknown passages in Eurasian international history. Although the secret war ultimately failed in liberating the Caucasian peoples, the lessons of this Eurasian collaboration were not lost on the United States, which after World War II confronted the Soviet Union just as Japan had earlier. Washington copied the strategy of its former enemy and developed it further. The Eurasian triangle of Russia, the Caucasus, and Japan is a forgotten history of cardinal importance that, stretching from the Russo-Japanese War to World War II, influenced Western Cold War strategies. This book is also the story of a friendship rare in international politics between two unlikely partners unspoiled by political vicissitudes.

"Eind september 1916 werd 'The Battle of the Somme' in de Nederlandse bioscoopzalen vertoond. Het grootste kassucces uit de filmgeschiedenis tot dan toe beloofde beelden van de gelijknamige veldslag uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog die al maanden het nieuws beheerste. Voor het eerst werd getoond hoe het er 'in de eerste vuurlinie' aan toeging. Het was een echte hype. Net als in de geallieerde landen trok de film in het neutrale Nederland veel bezoekers. 'De Telegraaf' vermeldde in zijn recensie welke Nederlandse prominenten uit het kabinet en de legertop voorstellingen hadden bijgewoond. Ook vele, vele duizenden burgers gingen hem zien. In Amsterdam kwam de politie eraan te pas om de massa in bedwang te houden. Dag na dag moesten duizenden kijklustigen teleurgesteld naar huis terugkeren omdat alle voorstellingen uitverkocht waren. Centraal in 'Plots hel het werd' staat het lange gedicht 'Het verhaal van den provinciaal' van de schrijver/schilder Jacobus van Looy. In dit gedicht beschrijft Van Looy de enorme impact die de film op hem en andere toeschouwers had. Die impact wordt samengebald in de regel 'Plots hel het werd'. De documentaire van Leo van Maaren op de bijgevoegde dvd brengt naast interviews met deskundigen de tekst van het gedicht, gelezen door Krijn ter Braak, samen met enkele originele filmbeelden".

Children under the Allied bombs in France provides a unique perspective on the Allied bombing of France during the Second World War which killed around 57,000 French civilians. Using oral history as well as archival research, it provides an insight into children's wartime lives in which bombing often featured prominently, even though it has slipped out of French collective memory. How prepared were the French for this aerial onslaught? What was it like to be bombed? And how did people understand why their 'friends' across the Channel were attacking them? Divided into three parts dealing with expectations, experiences and explanations of bombing, this book considers the child's view of wartime violence, analysing resilience, understanding and trauma. It contributes significantly to scholarship on civilian life in Occupied France, and will appeal to students, academics and general readers interested in the history of Vichy France, oral history and the experiences of children in war.
