Veredicto de la Historia: ROMMEL Audiobook

Erwin Rommel ha alcanzado un estatus casi legendario como el Mariscal de Campo alemán de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Principalmente por su astucia para burlar y superar a sus enemigos aliados, actualmente es conocido como el Zorro del Desierto. Este es un logro realmente notable, dado el odio al nazismo tras la estela de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero el Veredicto de la Historia se cuestiona si es un premio que se merece. Irónicamente, los que más le admiraban eran sus antiguos enemigos; mientras que algunas de sus mayores críticas provenían de oficiales alemanes caídos. Analizaremos cuáles fueron sus verdaderos logros y virtudes, así como sus debilidades? Uno de los únicos hombres dispuestos a hablar en contra de los males del nazismo ¿era el maestro táctico y el soldado perfecto? ¿O un cazador de gloria que no tenía conocimiento de la estrategia militar general? La relación con Hitler también se examina en detalle. ¿Qué puntos de vista nazis, si los había, compartía, y cuál fue su papel en el complot para matar al Führer? Para Rommel el jurado está fuera y setenta y cinco años después de su muerte, la historia está finalmente lista para ofrecer su veredicto.

VEREDICTO DE LA HISTORIA: La Serie Completa

Desde la madrugada del 1 de septiembre de 1939, cuando los cañones del acorazado alemán Schleswig-Holstein abrieron fuego contra la base militar polaca de Westerplatte, en la antigua ciudad libre de Danzig (Gdansk), y desencadenaron la Segunda Guerra Mundial, han pasado más de setenta años. El resultado del conflicto, que se cobró la vida de más de 55 millones de personas e involucró a la mayoría de las naciones de la Tierra, dejó al mundo dividido en dos campos armados: uno, dominado por la URSS y su bloque comunista; el otro, dirigido por una América decidida a detener la propagación del comunismo. Conocemos mejor este enfrentamiento como la Guerra Fría. Para un juicio histórico objetivo sobre el mayor conflicto que la raza humana ha experimentado, es vital conocer a los hombres que lo lideraron. Hoy, gracias a décadas de trabajo de innumerables historiadores y a los expedientes desclasificados por los gobiernos de todo el mundo, tenemos la oportunidad de juzgar a esos líderes con eficacia e imparcialidad. Algunos de estos líderes no estaban seguros de si estaban luchando una o varias guerras. Otros estaban convencidos de que el conflicto era global. Lo que es seguro es que la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue una Guerra Total, que vio frecuentes errores políticos en la guerra más política de todos los tiempos. Pacific Media ha reunido a un grupo de expertos historiadores, investigadores y analistas del King's College, una de las instituciones educativas más prestigiosas de Europa continental, para crear este libro y la serie documental History's Verdict. Desde un punto de vista actualizado, y repleto de nuevos descubrimientos históricos, sus guiones ofrecen veredictos justos y sabios sobre las figuras más poderosas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial: Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, Hirohito, Himmler, Montgomery, Patton, De Gaulle, MacArthur, Rommel, Eisenhower.

Survive for Now

When a group of well funded people decided years before to prepare for the end of civilization by building impenetrable shelters, they unknowingly left a legacy for a small band of survivors. Hordes of infected dead have swarmed across the world and destroyed civilization. Most of the world's population is dead, yet some people are determined to cling to life and are given a second chance when they learn the secrets of those shelters. A small group of people brought together by chance have survived in a shelter on an island near the coast of South Carolina, but although they are safe, they cannot bring themselves to sit by and wait for all of civilization to die. They are forced to make the hard choices that include leaving the shelter when it is for the good of others. Out of necessity, they make the decision to bring a father and his daughter, Tom and Molly, into their shelter. Not content to simply rescue the pair, they believe it is possible to reunite them with their family in Alabama. Driven by a feeling of moral responsibility to do more than just exist, they set out on a risky quest to accomplish the impossible by traveling through a devastated world.

Returned for Now

Adam, Natalia, and Henry weren't just close friends. They were the last crew of the International Space Station. Forgotten by all but a few survivors, they helplessly watch as the world below them is consumed by the infected dead. As they circle the Earth from orbit they are forced to survive in space until a time when they no longer have a choice, but when they return, it's not to the same world they left behind. The world has had years to change. The infected dead roam the streets and the forests in search of living victims. No one knows how the virus started, but even less is known about how to stop it.

Cities have fallen before the hordes of infected, but a small band of survivors has fought back by locating and liberating a network of shelters built by the government during the Cold War. Their goal is to unite enough survivors to eventually turn the tide of death in the favor of the living.

History's Verdict: Wise verdicts on World War 2’s most powerful figures.

Since the early hours September first 1939, when the guns of the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein opened fire on the Polish military base of Westerplatte in the former free city of Danzig (Gdansk) and triggered the Second World War, over seventy years have gone by. The outcome of the conflict - which claimed the lives of over 55 million people and involved most of the nations of the Earth – left the world divided into two armed camps: one, dominated by the USSR and its Communist bloc; the other, led by an America determined to halt the spread of Communism. We know this stand-off better as The Cold War. For an objective historical judgement on the greatest conflict the human race has ever experienced, it is vital to know the men who led it. Today, thanks to decades of work by countless historians and the innumerable files declassified by governments worldwide, we now have the opportunity to judge those leaders effectively and impartially. Some of these leaders were unsure whether they were fighting one war or several wars. Others were convinced the conflict was global. What is certain is that the Second World War was a Total War, which saw frequent political errors in the most political war of all time. Pacific Media have assembled a group of expert historians, researchers and analysts from King’s College, one of mainland Europe’s most prestigious educational institutions, to create the documentary series History’s Verdict. From an up-to-the-minute viewpoint, and packed with fresh historical discoveries, their scripts deliver fair and wise verdicts on World War 2’s most powerful figures. The series consists of 13 self-contained episodes each lasting 60 minutes: Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, Hirohito, Himmler, Montgomery, Patton, De Gaulle, MacArthur, Rommel, Eisenhower.

History's Verdict: Rommel

The Desert Fox or unnecessary risk taker? Erwin Rommel has achieved almost legendary status as the German Field Marshall of World war Two? Mainly for his cunning in outwitting and outmanoeuvring his allied enemies he is now known as the desert fox. This is a truly remarkable achievement, given the hatred for Nazism in the wake of World War Two. But History’s Verdict asks if this is a deserving accolade? Ironically, often those who admired him most were his former enemies; while some of his strongest criticism came from fell German officers. Just what were his true strengths and achievements as well as his weaknesses? Was he the master tactician and perfect soldier, one of the only men willing to speak out against the evils of Nazism? Or was he an unnecessary risk taker, a glory hunter who had no grasp of overall military strategy? The relationship with Hitler is also examined in detail. What Nazi views, if any, did he share, and what was his role in the plot to the kill the Fuhrer? For Rommel the Jury is out and seventy years after his death, History is finally ready to offer its verdict.
