Paperback. Condition: Good. Old Europe's new crisis. Europe, the charming continent of windmills and gondolas. But lately, Europe has become the continent of endless strikes and demonstrations, bombs on the trains and subways, radical Islamic cells in every city, and ghettos so hopeless and violent even the police won't enter them. In Spain, a terrorist attack prompts instant capitulation to the terrorists' demands. In France, the suburbs go up in flames every night. In Holland, politicians and artists are murdered for speaking frankly about Islamic immigration. This isn't the Europe we thought we knew. What's going on over there? Traveling overland from London to Istanbul, journalist Claire Berlinski shows why the Continent has lately appeared so bewildering--and often so thoroughly obnoxious--to Americans. Speaking to Muslim immigrants, German rock stars, French cops, and Italian women who have better things to do than have children, she finds that Europe is still, despite everything, in the grip of the same old ancient demons. Anyone who knows the history can sense it: There is something ugly--and familiar--in the air. But something new is happening as well. Indeed, Europe now confronts--and seems unable to cope with--an entirely new set of troubles. Tracing the ancient conflicts and newly erupting crises, Menace in Europe reveals: - Why Islamic radicalism and terrorist indoctrination flourish as Europe fails to assimilate millions of Muslim immigrants - How plummeting birthrates hurtle Europe toward economic and cultural catastrophe - Why hatred of America has become ubiquitous--on Europe's streets, in its books, newspapers, and music, and at the highest levels of government - How long-repressed destructive instincts are suddenly reemerging - How the death of religious faith has created a hopeless, morally unmoored Europe that clings to anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, and other dangerous ideologies - Why the notion of a united Europe is a fantasy and what that means for the United States In the end, these are not separate issues. Berlinski provocatively demonstrates that Europe's political and cultural crisis mirrors its profound moral and spiritual crisis. But this is not just Europe's problem. Menace in Europe makes clear that the spiritual void at the heart of Europe is ultimately our problem too. And America will pay a terrible price if we continue to ignore it.

Merci d'avance Les mémoires du commandant de la Ve Armée en Italie Ce livre est le témoignage personnel du Général américain Mark W. Clark. Il retrace son expérience de commandant en chef du théâtre méditerranéen pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Clark fut l'un des principaux artisans de la victoire alliée en Italie. L'ouvrage offre une perspective unique depuis le sommet de la hiérarchie militaire. Il mêle récit stratégique, anecdotes vécues et analyses personnelles des événements. Du débarquement en Afrique du Nord à la prise de Rome Le récit détaille les préparatifs et l'exécution de l'opération "Torch" en Afrique du Nord. Clark y relate sa périlleuse mission secrète auprès des Français et l'épisode politique complexe de "l'affaire Darlan". Le cœur du livre est consacré à la difficile campagne d'Italie. L'auteur décrit les batailles acharnées de Salerne, du Monte Cassino et d'Anzio. La libération de Rome en juin 1944 est présentée comme l'apogée de ces efforts. Un document historique sur le commandement et la diplomatie Au-delà des combats, Clark expose les défis du commandement d'une armée multinationale. Il aborde ses relations avec les autres généraux alliés comme Eisenhower. Le livre se prolonge après la capitulation allemande du 2 mai 1945.

La participation de Clark à la conférence de Moscou de 1947 illustre le passage de la guerre à la Guerre Froide.…
