AddictiveBy P K SpurwayA great series if you like the books of Jacqueline Winspear or Susan Elia Macneal. All these authors do a great job of not only describing the world before WW2 but you also feel the anxiety, fear and confusion of this time in history. I really enjoyed getting to know Clara Vine.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Historical intriqueBy lena chadwellI could not wait to read 'The Pursuit of Pearls" after reading Jane Thynne's book "The Scent of Secrets". I really enjoyed the pace of the story. I like that the author describes an area, place, or event without going overboard in explanations; yet letting us know where the scene is taking place. I have bought a third book of Ms. Thynne's, "Woman in the Shadows". Can't wait to get started on that book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. couldn't get into this book... too slow ...By Katiecouldn't get into this book... too slow. maybe it just wasn't my speed - i'm more of a suspense/dark/thriller reader and i tried to branch out. Berlin, on the eve of war. As soldiers muster on the streets, spies circle in the shadows and Lotti Franke, a young woman from the Faith and Beauty Society - the elite finishing school for Nazi girls - is found in a shallow grave. Clara Vine, Anglo-German actress and spy, has been offered the most ambitious part she has ever played. And in her more secret life, British Intelligence has recalled her to London to probe reports that the Nazis and the Soviet Union are planning to make a pact. Then Clara hears of Lotti's death, and is determined to discover what happened to her. But what she uncovers is something of infinite value to the Nazi regime - the object that led to Lotti's murder - and now she herself is in danger. In a drama which traverses Berlin, Paris, Vienna and London, Clara Vine tries to keep her friends close, but finds her enemies are even closer. `This is the fourth of the addictive `Clara Vine' novels, set in Berlin on the eve of war. Clara is a half-German British agent with access to the inner circle of Nazi wives. Portraits of women such as Magda Goebbels and Eva Braun are ruthlessly truthful, but drawn with compassion. It is early 1939, and Clara is drawn into investigating the murder of a girl at the League of Faith and Beauty finishing school.

All rights reserved.Chapter 1Berlin, in April 1939, was partying like there was no tomorrow.The Fuuml;hrer was fifty and the whole of Germany was in a frenzy. The day itself had been declared a National Holiday and the largest military parade ever heldmdash;five hoursrsquo; worth of storm troopers, hurricane troopers, tornado troopers, and every other type of troopermdash;was proceeding along the new East-West Axis, the great triumphal boulevard that ran all the way from Unter den Linden to the Olympic Stadium. Guns and tanks glittered in the morning air as the boots of fifty thousand soldiers thudded rhythmically into the ground. One hundred and sixty-two Heinkel bombers, Messerschmitt fighters, and Stuka dive-bombers performed flybys at five-minute intervals, leaving lightning flashes of vapor in the sky. Deputations of the Hitler Youth and League of German Girls had arrived from all over Germany. There were armored cars, cannons, Howitzers, and antiaircraft guns. And more than a million spectators, most of them carrying black bread sandwiches, bottles of beer, and swastika flags.Clara Vine shuffled her feet and looked down at her glossy Ferragamo leather pumps. They were hand-stitched in Florence, had cost the earth, and they hurt like hell.Why on earth had she not worn comfortable shoes?She was hungry and thirsty and longing to sit down. She had been there since nine that morning, but had only managed to secure a place three deep opposite the Fuuml;hrerrsquo;s saluting podium on the Charlottenburger Chaussee. The view to her right was obscured by a large woman with a squashed felt hat, accompanied by two boys of around six and seven. At first Clara had pitied the children, doomed to spend the morning fenced in by a forest of legs, but after hours of their relentless wails, demanding to know when exactly the Fuuml;hrer was coming and how much longer would he be, her sympathy was wearing thin. To her left stood a war veteran, medals pinned proudly to his chest, saluting frenetically like someone with uncontrollable muscle spasms. He had come all the way from Saxony, and he was not the only one. Thousands of visitors had poured into Berlin. The stations were teeming, and every hotel from the Adlon down was booked solid. People who couldnrsquo;t afford anywhere else had pitched their tents in the parks.Like all birthdays, Hitlerrsquo;s special day had begun with presents, but that was where the ordinariness ended. Vast marble tables had been assembled in the Reich Chancellery to display Meissen porcelain, silver candlesticks, and Titian paintings, alongside rather more modest gifts from ordinary people, largely made up of swastika cakes and cushions. The Pope, the King of England, and Henry Ford had sent telegrams. The engineer Ferdinand Porsche had presented Hitler with a shiny black convertible VW Beetle. Rudolf Hess had acquired a collection of priceless letters written by the Fuuml;hrerrsquo;s hero, Frederick the Great, and Albert Speer had given him an entire scale model of ldquo;Germaniardquo;mdash;the new world capital, with buildings made out of balsa wood and glass and a thirteen-foot model of the proposed triumphal arch. This was, without doubt, Hitlerrsquo;s favorite present, and he pored over it like a boy with a train set until he could be persuaded to tear himself away.On the face of it, Berlin was putting on a magnificent show. Gigantic white pillars had sprouted all along major thoroughfares. The newsstands groaned with souvenir birthday issues. Swastikas sprouted from every conceivable surface. Spring was a riot of color in Berlin, so long as the colors were red and black.Beneath the birthday bunting, however, everything was a little shabbier in Germanyrsquo;s capital. The tablecloths in the restaurants were spotted because there was no detergent, the bread was sawdust, and the ersatz coffee undrinkable. People looked the other way on the trams because there was no toothpaste, precious few razor blades or shaving foam, and the sour odor of humanity and unwashed clothes hung in the U-Bahn. Even high-class nightclubs like Cirorsquo;s stank of low-grade cigarettes, and taxis home were nonexistent because of the gas shortage.After the previous yearrsquo;s Anschluss, when Germany annexed Austria, followed by the bloodless seizure of Czechoslovakia that March, most of Europe guessed a war was on the way.

Introduction Several scholars and many religiously conservative thinkers have recently charged that Hitler’s ideas about race and racial struggle derived from the theories of Charles Darwin (1809-1882), either directly or through intermediate sources. So, for example, the historian Richard Weikart, in his book From Darwin to Hitler (2004), maintains: “No matter how crooked the road was from Darwin to Hitler, clearly Darwinism and eugenics smoothed the path for Nazi ideology, especially for the Nazi 1 Richard Weikart, “Was It Immoral for "Expelled" to Connect Darwinism and Nazi Racism?” (http://www.discovery.org/a/5069.) 1 stress on expansion, war, racial struggle, and racial extermination.”2 In a subsequent book, Hitler’s Ethic: The Nazi Pursuit of Evolutionary Progress (2009), Weikart argues that Darwin’s “evolutionary ethics drove him [Hitler] to engage in behavior that the rest of us consider abominable.”3 Other critics have also attempted to forge a strong link between Darwin’s theory and Hitler’s biological notions.

    humanities Article Spatial and Psychophysical Domination of Women in Dystopia: Swastika Night, Woman on the Edge of Time and The Handmaid’s Tale Elisabetta Di Minico HISTOPIA Research Group, Autonomous University of Madrid, Ciudad Universitaria de Cantoblanco, 28049 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] Received: 14 January 2019; Accepted: 21 February 2019; Published: 26 February 2019 Abstract: Analyzing Burdekin’s Swastika Night Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time and Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale the article aims to examine the relations between space, gender-based violence, and patriarchy in women’s writing. Hitlerdom in Swastika Night, the mental hospital and the future dystopian New York in Woman on the Edge of Time, and Gilead in The Handmaid’s Tale are spatial and social nightmares. The authorities that rule these dystopias imprison women in restricted spaces first, limit their vocabulary and daily actions, deprive them of their beauty, freedom and consciousness, and impose maternity or sexuality upon them. My analysis will connect the limitation of space with the psychophysical domination the objectification and the disempowerment of the female gender. Hoping also to shed light on the dynamics and the reasons for contemporary real gender-based violence and depreciation, the study will be focused on: 1. the ways space contributes to the creation, the stability and the dominion of dystopian powers; 2. the representation and the construction of female figures, roles and identities; 3. the techniques of control, manipulation and oppression used by patriarchal powers against women; 4. the impact of sex, sexuality and motherhood on women’s bodies; and 5.

I proceeded from the assumption that powerful propaganda has to contain certain phrases which do not necessarily mean anything, which sound good, but which still stand for a programme. I may have chosen the name intuitively since at that time I was directly under the influence of the Span- ish romances 'Rosa Blanca' by Brentano. There is no connection with the 'White Rose' in English history."

One of only ten English majors in his class, General Poole was also an Army contract. During his time as a cadet, he participated in both of the campus publications, which at that time consisted of The Brigadier and The Sphinx. Upon graduation, General Poole commissioned in the Army. His experiences in the military lasted 32 years. He was able to pursue both his master’s degree and his doctorate, in Management and Finance, respectively, from the University of South Carolina. The Citadel Class of 1959 is widely considered to maintain the highest level of unity throughout graduating classes. Therefore, it was a great honor when the class named its scholarship after General Poole. The award is always used to complement a military contrast, resulting in a full scholarship. This year’s recipients are Cory Moyer, a Marine contract, and Ian Berdeau, an Army contract. General Poole was recognized as the Alumnus of the Year in 1999.

    ESSAY REVISION NOTES FOR NAZIS IN POWER HOW FAR WAS (ISOLATED FACTOR) RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE NAZI STATE BETWEEN 1933 AND 1939? IN OTHER WORDS WHY WAS HITLER ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL IN GERMANY? Hitler aimed to create a genuine Volksgemeinschaft to help win support and targeted all areas in Nazi Germany. However, he would not have been in a position to do this if he had not consolidated him power when he became Chancellor in 1933 DICTATORSHIP AND CONSOLIDATION OF POWER 1933 – January 30th Hitler became Chancellor with only 37% of the vote, the fact that the Nazis did not have a majority highlight that his grip on Germany was not yet secure. Hitler was one of only three Nazis in a Cabinet of twelve, and President Hindenburgh had the power to dismiss Hitler at any time. Yet, Hitler managed to destroy German democracy and set up a dictatorship and consolidate his power. How did he do this? Seizure of power begins: The Reichstag Fire 27th February the Reichstag burned to the ground, Dutch communists, Marinus Van Der Lubbe was found at the scene and accused of arson. Goring ordered the mass arrest of Communist Reichstag deputies and party officials. Overnight 4000 Communist Party officials were arrested. The March Elections and the Enabling Law 28th February Due to the Reichstag Fire President Hindenberg was persuaded to issue an Emergency Decree suspending civil freedoms and allowing the government to imprison political opponents indefinitely. The Nazis exploited the new law in the final days before the Reichstag elections and made it next to impossible for their opponents to campaign freely.
