Resumen del Libro

Libro U-BOOTE

From the beginning of the Second World War the sea became a vitally important scene of conflict. Great Britain relied on receiving supplies by sea and, therefore, a total blockade of the United Kingdom was one the main objectives of Hitler’s Germany. The British government was forced to maintain a strategy of antisubmarine warfare throughout the conflict, while the Royal Navy sought to interrupt the Third Reich’s maritime traffic. In these circumstances the submarine became an important weapon of war. Headed by Karl Dönitz, who would later succeed Hitler as Head of State, the German U-boats gained the initiative in the sea war and from the beginning launched all-out attacks against shipping en route to Great Britain. At the start of hostilities the Ubootwaffe had only 57 submarines, of which 22 could operate in the Atlantic. The superiority of the British navy led to U-boats playing a leading role in the German war effort, to such an extent that they could have tipped the balance in favour of Germany, had it not been for Hitler’s lack of vision. Putting aside the question of the regime they defended, over the years no one has doubted the bravery of the men who fought aboard the 820 submarines out of a total of 1,158 that the Third Reich put into service. Their tactics and strategy and their tenacity in battle during operations at sea earned them the admiration of friends and foe alike. Of the almost 40,000 officers and men that took to sea in U-boats, the majority were volunteers, and 30,000 went down with the 785 submarines that were lost at sea, though they managed to sink more than 3,000 merchantmen and 200 enemy warships. One of the great unanswered questions of the war is what would have happened if Hitler had granted the numerous requests made by Dönitz for more submarines?

“Each war entails the destruction of the human soul” (Henry Miller). Humanity should not lose its memory, even if some may try to conceal it.

From the atrocious moment in which Hitler ordered the invasion of Polish territory to the day in which Emperor Hirohito “had to accept the unacceptable”, all is encompassed in this book over...

Hispania tardoantigua y visigoda

Libro Hispania tardoantigua y visigoda

Nunca gozó el estudio de la historia peninsular en la Antigüedad tardía de tanta popularidad como otros periodos de nuestro pasado. El Bajo Imperio romano en Hispania estuvo, por lo general, algo mejor atendido, sin embargo, los visigodos quedaron relegados y sólo unos pocos historiadores –en su práctica totalidad fuertemente ideologizados– se preocuparon durante el siglo XX de este periodo. La historiografía reciente ha supuesto que podía restaurar la historia que realmente fue, alejándose de las premisas ideológicas que marcaban la precedente. sin embargo, la producción...

Libro Memorias del Mediterráneo

¿No digan que la Prehistoria no es Historia¿, advierte el autor. Hay que haber excavado, analizado, interrogado a las primeras civilizaciones prehistóricas para saber que se puede esbozar su historia, detectar la construcción de su identidad, su estructura social, sus mutaciones económicas, su existencia cotidiana... Al pasear al lector por todo el Mediterráneo, desde la Prehistoria a la conquista romana, Braudel no sólo se entrega al placer del viaje sino que nos hace compartir su convicción de que ¿no hay historia comprensible que no se extienda a través de todo el tiempo de los...
