At what point does the will to survive on the battlefield give way to bloodlust? The Battle of Crete was one of the most spectacular military campaigns of the twentieth century. For the first time in history, German forces carried out an invasion entirely from the air while poorly equipped Anzac and British forces, and local Cretans, defended the island. During the campaign, one battle stands out for its viciousness. When the Germans approached the Allies' defensive line--known as 42nd Street--on 27 May 1941, men from the Australian 2/7 and 2/8 Battalions, New Zealanders from several battalions, and British soldiers counter-attacked with fixed bayonets. By the end, bodies were strewn across the battlefield. Later, a German doctor reported that many of the bodies of the German soldiers had been mutilated. Acclaimed historian Peter Monteath draws on records and recollections of Australian, New Zealand, British, and German forces and local Cretans to reveal the truth behind one of the most gruesome battles of the Second World War.

Auch 50 Jahre nach Ausbruch des Spanischen Bürgerkrieges erweist sich die Forschung zur Spanienkriegsliteratur als lückenhaft. Dieses Buch versucht, zwei Forschungslücken zu schliessen. Im I. Teil wird erstmalig die Literatur aus dem Dritten Reich zum Krieg untersucht. Der II. Teil besteht aus einer Bibliographie der internationalen Spanienkriegsliteratur, deren ca. 1300 Titel politisch-publizistische, belletristische, historisch-fachwissenschaftliche wie auch literaturwissenschaftliche Werke zum Krieg bzw. zur Kriegsliteratur umfassen.
