My Father's Iron Cross, Field Post Letters from the Front- authors Renate Becker and Helmut Becker-Wildenroth contains 23 letters. Fritz Becker - the father of the authors, has written the letters from the 18th of January, 1915 to the 11th of October, 1915 to his parents and siblings. The reader finds a short prehistory of the First World War, a time table about the war at the western front in Flanders in 1915 and a short history and description of the German Iron Cross. The book contains handwritten letters and photos. Fritz Becker is 20 years old when he writes the letters. The first letters still distinguish themselves by an optimism and are marked by the faith in victory and by devotion to duty. He does not mention yet the fright of fighting. Only in the letters from Douai the destruction of numerous villages is mentioned. He often thinks of all those at home. Then a change of events enters all of a sudden. Fritz Becker has to go to the front. Now he experiences the war with all its dangers, among other things the first hostile air raids in which a small girl and soldier are killed. One lives under the most primitive conditions, and starves. Now Fritz Becker is assigned to the pioneers. He must dig trenches and install barbed wire. The battalion marches past common graves of fallen comrades. He describes a visit of the Holy Mass. The church is full of praying soldiers. He feels he is in God's hands. In a storm attack on English positions, a British rifle bullet strafed his head. An English soldier places him in a shell-crater to protect him against direct bombardment. He gives him water to drink from his canteen and a piece of biscuit. The wounded soldier looses a lot of blood and becomes unconscious. After rescue by comrades he awakes in the military hospital. In a letter out of the field hospital he lets his parents know that he has a light strafing wound in the head. In another card he informs his parents that all is well with him. In reality the wound is very serious. More operations become necessary by brains specialists in a military hospital. The letters present the war action in all its cruelty from the point of an directly affected combatant. In spite of all frights the letters show a deep trust in God. The letters remind us to strive for peace so that such an event cannot happen again. That this war was the oldest military catastrophe of the 20th century is not known to many people today. It is good that the authors of the book keep up the memory of this awful event.

On 16 October 1946 Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler's wartime Foreign Minister, was executed at Nuremberg, convicted on four counts including deliberately planning a war of aggression and war crimes. In this first English Language edition of his memoirs, Rudolf von Ribbentrop frankly describes his relationship with his father when he was the German Ambassador in London and during the war years. Von Ribbentrop was an often isolated figure among the Nazi elite. In his final report from London von Ribbentrop informed Hitler that he was convinced that Great Britain would fight for its position in the world. He went on to play a key role forging the short-lived pact with Stalin's Soviet Union. Far from being uncritical, the author, now in his 90s, sets out to paint an objective picture of his father's role. His unique position throws fascinating light on the unfolding dramatic events leading up to, and then the execution of, the Second World war. While the author briefly describes his personal experiences including his war service with the SS, it is the insight this work provides into top level decision making at the heart of the Third Reich that will appeal most to both historians and laymen.

This revised edition of his Autobiography brings up-to-date Rescher’s account of his life and work. The passage of years since the publication of an autobiographical work makes for its growing incompleteness. Moreover, the passage of time is bound to bring some new perspectives to view. This new edition comes to terms with these circumstances. Since the publication of the previous version Rescher’s philosophical work has made substantial progress, betokened by the publication of over a score of new books that mark an ongoing expansion of his philosophical range. Then too, the internet has brought to light interesting new information about Rescher’s family background and antecedence. Overall the book affords a detailed, vivid, and highly personalized picture of the life and work of someone who counts as one of the most prolific and many-sided contemporary thinkers.

In August 1944, Hans Georg Klamroth was executed for his part in the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Wibke Bruhns, his youngest daughter, was six years old at the time.

In My Father's Country, Bruhns tells of her search for her father. Returning to her ancestral home in Halberstadt, Northern Germany, she retraces her family's story from Kaiser Wilhelm to the end of World War Two, discovering old photographs, letters and diaries, which she uses to piece together a unique and unforgettable family epic.

Nicholas Rescher was born in Germany in 1928 and came to the USA at the age of ten. He attended Queens College in New York City and Princeton University, where he earned his Ph.D. while still twenty-two. Since 1961 he has been University Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh where he has also served as Chairman of the Department of Philosophy and as Director of the Center for Philosophy of Science. The author of more than seventy books in various areas of philosophy, works by Mr. Rescher have been translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese. One of the few contemporary exponents of philosophical idealism, Mr. Rescher has been active in the rehabilitation on the coherence theory of truth and in the reconstruction of philosophical pragmatism in line with the idealistic tradition. He has pioneered the development of inconsistency-tolerant logics and, in the philosophy of science, the exponential retardation theory of scientific progress based on the epistemological principle that knowledge increases merely with the logarithm of the increase in information. Books about Rescher's work have appeared in English, German, and Italian. His contributions to philosophy have been recognized repeatedly by honorary degrees awarded by universities in the U.S.A. and abroad. In 1977 its fellow elected him an honorary member of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and in 1983 he received an Alexander von Humboldt Humanities Prize, awarded under the auspices of the Federal Republic of Germany 'in recognition of the research accomplishments of humanistic scholars of international distinction.' In this autobiographical work, Rescher describes his boyhood in Nazi Germany, his family's struggles to make a new life for themselves in the USA of the 1930's, and the vicissitudes attending his own labors as a professional philosopher. The book provides a vivid and humane portrait of the intellectual and personal formation of America's most productive philosophical author.
