Автор: Angus Konstam Название: Naval Battle of Crete 1941 ISBN: 1472854047 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781472854049 Издательство: Osprey Рейтинг: Цена: 2523.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: A fascinating account of an often overlooked naval action of World War II, and one of the bloodiest chapters in the history of the Royal Navy. In April 1941, following the Axis invasion of Greece, the British Mediterranean Fleet was ordered to evacuate Allied survivors, many of which were taken to Crete. The Luftwaffe established itself in airfields on the Greek mainland, and formed plans to invade Crete by air and sea, under the cover of 500 fighters and bombers of the Luftwaffe's Fliegerkorps VIII.
Facing them were a small and scattered garrison on the island, a handful of under-strength RAF squadrons and the hard-pressed warships of the Mediterranean Fleet. What happened next was a costly, but ultimately inspiring, naval battle, in which Royal Navy crews were placed under intense strain. Using period photographs, stunning battlescene artworks, detailed maps and an authoritative narrative, world-leading maritime historian Angus Konstam tells the fascinating story of how Allied ships failed to repulse the Axis invasion convoys bound for Crete, before successfully evacuating troops from the island, all the while under relentless Luftwaffe attack.
Offering a fresh insight into this strategically important battle, this work shows how it marked a turning point in the naval war for the Mediterranean, and also witnessed the first use of new elements in naval warfare: the mass use of aircraft to contest control of the sea, and the use of Ultra intelligence to forestall the Axis invasion of Crete. Despite a heavy butcher's bill of dozens of Royal Navy ships lost and damaged, and hundreds Luftwaffe aircraft destroyed, the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet would live to fight another day.

This collection of essays aims at showing Crete as a cultural centre that bridges two close and, at the same time, distant worlds and traditions, Byzantium and Western Europe (Venice), during a pivotal “Renaissance” period for the island, between the 15th and 16th c. The book tells an unprecedented story about people producing, reading, cherishing, and collecting books in Crete, and about their connections across time and space. The volume?showcases the viewpoint of nine scholars, whose observations set a wide stage for reflections on places, people, cultural propaganda, and power in Venetian Crete. With their skill to weave narratives into broader conversations and complex socio-cultural commentaries, they offer the academic readership as well as the wider audience opportunities to learn, reflect upon and re-think the rich cultural heritage of the island, through the lens of the materiality and immateriality of books.?To this end, the book features investigations into the craft of manuscripts in Crete and the creation of book collections by notable figures. It also contains prosopographical studies on copyists, their migration patterns from Constantinople to Crete, and from there to Italy and vice-versa as well as research into the characteristic antiquarianism of 16th?c. Venetian scholars and the revival of ancient genres in learned poetry, while looking at peculiar aspects of the culture of Cretan humanists of the time.

In the 1890s, conflict erupted on the Ottoman island of Crete. At the heart of the Crete Question, as it came to be known around the world, were clashing claims of sovereignty between Greece and the Ottoman Empire. The island was of tremendous geostrategic value, boasting one of the deepest natural harbors in the Mediterranean, and the conflict quickly gained international dimensions with an unprecedented collective military intervention by six European powers. Island and Empire shows how events in Crete ultimately transformed the Middle East
Ugur Zekeriya Pece narrates a connected history of international intervention, mass displacement, and popular mobilization. The conflict drove a wedge between the island's Muslims and Christians, quickly acquiring a character of civil war. Civil war in turn unleashed a humanitarian catastrophe with the displacement of more than seventy thousand Muslims from Crete. In years following, many of those refugees took to the streets across the Ottoman world, driving the largest organized modern protest the empire had ever seen. Exploring both the emergence and legacies of violence, Island and Empire demonstrates how Cretan refugees became the engine of protest across the empire from Salonica to Libya, sending ripples farther afield beyond imperial borders. This history that begins within an island becomes a story about the end of an empire.
