      Prožijte druhou světovou válku tak, jak ji líčila nacistická propaganda v časopise Signal, a porovnejte to s fakty, jak to v letech 1939 až 1945 skutečně bylo. Signal prodával na svém vrcholu okolo 2,5 milionu výtisků a byl vydáván ve více než 20 jazycích v celé okupované Evropě. Jeho výtečné fotografie a propagandistické články z něho činí úchvatnou četbu i dnes. Tato kniha klade líčení Signalu do kontextu faktů a ukazuje, jak tento časopis hrál významnou roli v utužování nacistického odporu v pokračující válce.

      The invention of photography in the first half of the 19th century gave people a completely different way of recording what was happening around them and soon professional and amateur photographers were turning their lenses onto every subject imaginable - monarchs and politicians, soldiers at war, industry and transport, farming and rural life, national celebrations, ordinary people at home and at work, entertainers and actors, fashion, sport, school and much else. Their work has given us a unique view of our nation's heritage. This volume looks at the major events, people and stories of the 1870s through photographs that reveal the essence of those times. As the decade began, Britain was enjoying an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. The gap between rich and poor was still vast, but conditions for workers were improving and the Bank Holiday Act pioneered paid holidays. Government swung between two giants of Victorian politics: Gladstone and Disraeli. Gladstone attempted to solve the problems of Ireland, but his efforts pleased no-one. Disraeli's coup was to purchase for Britain almost half the shares in the Suez Canal, securing the way to India. But this did not stop the country heading into recession, allowing Gladstone to storm back to power. Relive these times in the dramatic and moving pictures presented in this book.

    • The invention of photography in the first half of the 19th century gave people a completely different way of recording what was happening around them and soon professional and amateur photographers were turning their lenses onto every subject imaginable - monarchs and politicians, soldiers at war, industry and transport, farming and rural life, national celebrations, ordinary people at home and at work, entertainers and actors, fashion, sport, school and much else. Their work has given us a unique view of our nation's heritage. This volume looks at the major events, people and stories of the 1940s through photographs that reveal the essence of those times. In June 1940, Winston Churchill looked forward a thousand years to when Britons would still say that 'This was their finest hour'. Wartime Britain saw heroism and hardship, but it was a time when the country pulled together towards a common goal. It was also an era of growing equality that carried over into peacetime. In 1945 the people threw out their war-winning Prime Minister and chose instead a Labour government who delivered the welfare state and the NHS. Relive these times in the dramatic and moving pictures presented in this book.
