Free Download Tim Fanning, "The Salamanca Diaries: Father McCabe and the Spanish Civil War"
English | ISBN: 1785372777 | 2019 | 280 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
In July 1936, an army-led coup against the democratically elected republican government ushered in the Spanish Civil War. Father Alexander J. McCabe was rector of the Irish College in Salamanca when General Francisco Franco seized power a few months later and established his GHQ in the medieval city. McCabe recorded the arrival of the nationalist war machine in his diaries, vividly documenting the horror of the repression and his encounters with Franco, Nazi officers and diplomats, British and American spies and journalists, and adventurers and charlatans from around the world who flocked to Salamanca. He also observed the implosion of General Eoin O'Duffy's ill-fated Irish Brigade, first as one of its chaplains and later mediating between the nationalist high command and O'Duffy. He unsuccessfully attempted to dissuade a disillusioned O'Duffy from returning to Ireland with the Irish Brigade in 1937. Historian Tim Fanning uses McCabe's diaries to provide a fascinating account of life in Spain before, during and after the war, as well as McCabe's memories of growing up in Ireland at a time of momentous change. This is the troubling and enthralling story of an eyewitness to one of the most tragic episodes in twentieth-century European history.

'The infantry is only a few metres ahead of us when suddenly, on the left of our tank, a Russian stands up. The swine had pretended to be dead when our infantry came past him! That's an old classic, pretending to be dead and then firing from the rear. But that isn't a good idea when facing tank-men like us... floor the accelerator! Turn left and run over him!'

Fiona J Houston, "The Garden Cottage Diaries"
English | ISBN: 1887354778 | 2010 | 224 pages | EPUB | 14 MB
Challenged to prove her claim that an 18th-century diet was better than today's, for a full year Fiona J Houston recreated the lifestyle of her 1790's rural Scottish ancestors in a basic one-roomed cottage, cooking from her garden and the wild, often entertaining family and friends, and surviving on her own resources. She learned lost crafts and skills, making nettle string, quill pens and ink, as well as cheese and ale, lighting her fire from flints, and dressing in hand-sewn period clothing, with nothing but an old range stove and candles for warmth and light. This beautiful, quirky, illustrated title tells her extraordinary story and is packed with historical anecdotes, folklore, practical gardening info, seasonal menus, recipes, wildlife notes, and more. Includes linocuts, photos, and historic engravings.

The Wartime Diaries of Count Galeazzo Ciano 1939-1943 By Galeazzo Ciano
2015 | 496 Pages | ISBN: 178155448X | PDF | 161 MB
'In this state of mind, which excludes any falsehood, I declare that not a single word of what I have written in my diaries is false or exaggerated or dictated by selfish resentment. It is all just what I have seen and heard. And if, when making ready to take leave of life, I consider allowing the publication of my hurried notes, it is not because I expect posthumous revaluation or vindication, but because I believe that honest testimonial of the truth in this sad world may still be useful in bringing relief to the innocent and striking at those who are responsible.' Count Galeazzo Ciano was foreign minister in Fascist Italy from 1936 until 1943. He was also Mussolini's son-in-law. This fascinating diary gives a day to day account of this passage through the war, his meetings with the Duce and other key figures of the conflict including Hitler and Von Ribbentrop. It becomes, in effect, a history of Italy under Mussolini. But the story does not end happily. In 1943, as the Italian war effort began to crumble in the wake of an allied invasion from the South, Ciano was dismissed as Foreign Minister after his involvement in a Description to depose Mussolini. Under pressure from the Nazis, Ciano was executed by firing squad in Verona in January 1944. His diaries provide a unique and perceptive insight into this remarkable period of history, revealing a man that, unlike many of his colleagues, did not embrace war.
