From 1943 the British began the design of a tank that bore distinct similarities to the German Panther tank. Designed as a Universal Tank, the design emerged in mid-1945 as the Centurion. It was last used in action by the British Army in 1991 during the Gulf War. It has also seen action with the Israeli Defence Forces, the Indian Army in the wars with Pakistan and the Australian Army in Vietnam. This book details all the variants of the Centurion used in these conflicts as well as covering the specialised variants last used by the British in the Gulf War.

This collection of over fifty top-secret letters are drawn from classified Soviet archives only recently opened to scholars. The letters offer unique insight into Soviet foreign policy and Stalin’s attitudes and intentions during the Great Terror of the 1930’s and the years leading up to the Second World War. They confirm the dependence of Comintern on the Kremlin and Stalin’s role in shaping it. They also shed light on the confusion about policies toward foreign Communist parties and the effect this had on the history of the twentieth century.

Free Download Chiara Renzo, "Jewish Displaced Persons in Italy 1943-1951 "
English | ISBN: 1032223553 | 2023 | 226 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book focuses on the experiences of thousands of Jewish displaced persons (DPs) who lived in refugee camps in Italy between the liberation of the southern regions in 1943 and the early 1950s, waiting for their resettlement outside of Europe. It explores the Jewish DPs’ daily life in the refugee camps and what this experience of displacement meant to them. This book sheds light on the dilemmas the Jewish DPs faced when reconstructing their lives in the refugee camps after the Holocaust and how this challenging process was deeply influenced by their interaction with the humanitarian and political actors involved in their rescue, rehabilitation, and resettlement. Relating to the peculiar context of post-fascist Italy and the broader picture of the postwar refugee crisis, this book reveals overlooked aspects that contributed to the making of an incredibly diverse and lively community in transit, able to elaborate new paradigms of home, belonging and family.
