In February 1942 RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly-identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed W\u00fcrzburg. The brilliant scientist Dr RV Jones proposed an assault to capture key components. The nearest accessible enemy set stood upon a steep cliff at Bruneval in Normandy. Winston Churchill enthused, as did Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of Combined Operations. A company of the newly-formed Airborne Forces was committed to the operation, which took place on the night of 27\/28 February. Amid heavy snow 120 men landed, some of whom were misdropped almost two miles from their objective. They nonetheless launched the assault, dismantled the German radar, and after three nail-biting hours in France and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time by landing-craft across stormy seas to Portsmouth.\r\n          \r\nMax Hastings recounts this cliffhanging tale in a wealth of previously unchronicled detail. He portrays its remarkable personalities: the 'boffin' RV Jones; the peacock Mountbatten; the troubled husband of Daphne Du Maurier, Gen. 'Boy' Browning, who commanded the Airborne Division; 'Colonel Remy', the French secret agent whose men reconnoitered Bruneval at mortal risk; Major John Frost, who led the paras into action; Charlie Cox, the little RAF technician who stripped the W\u00fcrzburg and became an unexpected hero; Wing-Commander Charles Pickard, a legendary bomber pilot who led the drop squadron. Seldom have so many fascinating personalities been brought together to fulfil a mission that became a front-page triumph in a season of British defeats.\r\n          \r\nRecounted in Hastings' familiar best-selling blend of top-down and bottom-up action detail, Operation Biting tells a story that has become almost forgotten yet deserves to rank among the epic tales of courage and daring that took place in the greatest conflict in history.","authors":["Max Hastings"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/204\/9780008642204_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/204\/9780008642204_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/204\/9780008642204_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"16,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"9 octobre 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Max Hastings \u2014 William Collins","translator":null,"weight":392,"page_count":362,"readership":null,"editor":"William Collins","price":1640,"published_date":"2025-10-08T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780008642204\/operation-biting-the-1942-parachute-assault-to-capture-hitlers-radar"},{"id":"9780141985831","title":"The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism","description":"From the author of The Shifts and the Shocks, and one of the most influential writers on economics, a reckoning with how and why the relationship between democracy and capitalism is coming undone \r\nWe are living in an age when economic failings have shaken faith in global capitalism. Political failings have undermined trust in liberal democracy and in the very notion of truth. The ties that ought to bind open markets to free and fair elections are being strained and rejected, even in democracy's notional heartlands. Around the world, democratic capitalism, which depends on the determined separation of power from wealth, is in crisis. Some now argue that capitalism is better without democracy; others that democracy is better without capitalism.\r\nThis book is a forceful rejoinder to both views. It analyses how the marriage between capitalism and democracy has become so fraught and yet insists that a divorce would be an almost unimaginable calamity. Martin Wolf, one of the wisest public voices on global affairs, argues that for all its recent failings - slowing growth, increasing inequality, widespread popular disillusion - democratic capitalism, though inherently fragile, remains the best system we know for human flourishing. Capitalism and democracy are complementary opposites: they need each other if either is to thrive. Wolf's superb exploration of their marriage shows us how citizenship and a shared faith in the common good are not romantic slogans but the essential foundation of our economic and political freedom.","authors":["Martin Wolf"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/831\/9780141985831_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/831\/9780141985831_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/831\/9780141985831_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"18,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"1er f\u00e9vrier 2024","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Martin Wolf \u2014 Penguin Books Uk","translator":null,"weight":338,"page_count":496,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Books Uk","price":1880,"published_date":"2024-01-31T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141985831\/the-crisis-of-democratic-capitalism"},{"id":"9780141987286","title":"Afropean : Notes from Black Europe","description":"Winner of the Jhalak Prize\r\nWinner of the Bread & Roses Award for Radical Publishing \r\n'A revelation' Owen Jones\r\n'Afropean seizes the blur of contradictions that have obscured  Europe's relationship with blackness and paints it into something new,  confident and lyrical' Afua Hirsch \r\nA Guardian, New Statesman and BBC History Magazine Best Book of 2019  \r\n'Afropean.

A historian and a political economist, both experts in their field, investigate\r\nOver the last three centuries, the West rose to dominate the planet. Then, suddenly, around the turn of the millennium, history reversed. Faced with economic stagnation and internal political division, the West has found itself in rapid decline.\r\nThis is not the first time the global order has witnessed such a dramatic rise and fall. The Roman Empire followed a similar arc from dizzying power to disintegration - a fact that is more than a strange historical coincidence. In Why Empires Fall, historian Peter Heather and political economist John Rapley use this Roman past to think anew about the contemporary West, its state of crisis, and what paths we could take out of it.\r\nIn this exceptional, transformative intervention, Heather and Rapley explore the uncanny parallels - and productive differences - between the two cases, moving beyond the familiar tropes of invading barbarians and civilizational decay to learn new lessons from ancient history. From 399 to 1999, the life cycles of empires, they argue, sow the seeds of their inevitable destruction.

Other countries looked on in helpless amazement. Pushing aside further French resistance, a new German Empire was proclaimed (as a deliberate humiliation) in the Palace of Versailles, leaving the French to face civil war in Paris, reparations and the loss of Alsace and Lorraine.\r\nBismarck's War tells the story of one of the most shocking reversals of fortune in modern European history. The culmination of a globally violent decade, the Franco-Prussian War was deliberately engineered by Bismarck, both to destroy French power and to unite Germany. It could not have worked better, but it also had lurking inside it the poisonous seeds of all the disasters that would ravage the twentieth century.\r\nDrawing on a remarkable variety of sources, Chrastil's book explores the military, technological, political and social events of the war, its human cost and the way that the sheer ferocity of war, however successful, has profound consequences for both victors and victims.","authors":["Rachel Chrastil"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/610\/9780141991610_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/610\/9780141991610_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/610\/9780141991610_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"18,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"6 juin 2024","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Rachel Chrastil \u2014 Penguin Books Uk","translator":null,"weight":352,"page_count":512,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Books Uk","price":1880,"published_date":"2024-06-05T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141991610\/bismarcks-war-the-franco-prussian-war-and-the-making-of-modern-europe"},{"id":"9780141997797","title":"HOMER AND HIS ILIAD","description":"A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year\r\n\r\nA thrilling study of the greatest of all epic poems, by one of the world's leading classicists\r\n\r\nHomer's Iliad is the famous epic poem set among the tales of Troy. Its subject is the anger of the hero Achilles and its dreadful consequences for the warring Greeks and Trojans. It was composed more than 2,600 years ago, but still transfixes us with its tale of loss and battle, love and revenge, guided throughout by the active presence of the gods. Its beauty and profound bleakness are intensely moving but great questions remain: where, how and when it was composed and why it has such enduring power?\r\n\r\nIn this compelling book Robin Lane Fox addresses these questions, drawing on a life-long love and engagement with the poem. He argues for a place, a date and a method for its composition, giving us a sense of alternative approaches and grounding his own in discoveries about long heroic poems composed elsewhere in the world, and the ever-growing evidence of archaeology.\r\n\r\nUnlike other books on the Iliad, this one combines the detailed expertise of a historian with the sensitivity of a teacher of it as poetry. Lane Fox goes on to consider hallmarks of the poem, its values, implicit and explicit, its characters, its women, its gods and even its horses. He argues repeatedly for its beautiful observation and addresses its parallel use of what is, to us, the natural world. Thousands of readers turn to the Iliad every year. In this superbly written and conceived tribute, Lane Fox expresses and amplifies what old and new readers can find in it. It is pervaded, he argues, by a poignant hardness which is not just a poetic trick. It is a deeply held view of the world.\r\n","authors":["Robin Lane fox"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000","9050400","9050404"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/797\/9780141997797_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/797\/9780141997797_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/797\/9780141997797_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"22,00 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"10 octobre 2024","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Robin Lane fox \u2014 PENGUIN UK","translator":null,"weight":500,"page_count":438,"readership":null,"editor":"PENGUIN UK","price":2200,"published_date":"2024-10-09T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":["9780241524510"],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141997797\/homer-and-his-iliad"},{"id":"9780141999241","title":"House of Lilies : The Dynasty that Made Medieval France","description":"'A mighty, panoramic history... Firnhaber-Baker does a real service for those with an interest in France and England alike by providing a dexterous and engrossing account, a treasury for anyone with an interest in the royal, political and religious worlds of the high medieval period' Daily Telegraph\r\n\r\nThe sweeping story of one of the great epics of Europe's history: the rise and rise of the dynasty that dominated the Middle Ages\r\n\r\nStarting in the tenth century from an insecure foothold around Paris, the Capetians built a nation that stretched from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and from the Rh\u00f4ne to the Pyrenees. They founded practices and institutions that endured until the Revolution, transformed Paris from a muddy backwater to a splendid metropole, and popularized the fleur-de-lys, the lily, as the emblem of France. Time and again, their opponents woefully misjudged who they were up against, as through guile, ruthlessness, luck and marriage the Capetians disposed of them all.\r\n\r\nThis is the story of the most powerful kingdom in Christendom. It is a tale of religious upheaval, heroism, adulterous affairs, holy wars, pogroms and persecution. From Hugh Capet to Eleanor of Aquitaine, the Capetians were men and women of vision and ambition, who considered themselves chosen by God to fulfil a great destiny. They did not simply rule France: they created it.\r\n\r\nHouse of Lilies is a highly enjoyable account of this extraordinary sequence of events, set against one of the great eras in the history of western Europe. Justine Firnhaber-Baker brilliantly conveys not only the cultural effervescence of the French court, but also the intellectual achievements, the battles and the religious fervour, as well as the series of catastrophes that led to the dynasty's ultimate demise.\r\n","authors":["Justine Firnhaber-Baker"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000","9050500"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/241\/9780141999241_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/241\/9780141999241_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/241\/9780141999241_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"18,95 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"21 mars 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Justine Firnhaber-Baker \u2014 Penguin Uk","translator":null,"weight":353,"page_count":448,"readership":"Tout public","editor":"Penguin Uk","price":1895,"published_date":"2025-03-20T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141999241\/house-of-lilies-the-dynasty-that-made-medieval-france"},{"id":"9780198840077","title":"The French Revolution : A Very Short Introduction","description":"The French Revolution is a time of history made familiar from Dickens, Baroness Orczy, and Tolstoy, as well as the legends of let them eat cake, and tricolours. Beginning in 1789, this period of extreme political and social unrest saw the end of the French monarchy, the death of an extraordinary number of people beneath the guillotine's blade during the Terror, and the rise of Napoleon, as well as far reaching consequences still with us today, such as the enduring ideology of human rights, and decimalization.\r\nIn this Very Short Introduction, William Doyle introduces the French old regime and considers how and why it collapsed. Retelling the unfolding events of the revolution, he analyses why the revolutionaries quarrelled with the king, the church and the rest of Europe, why this produced Terror, and finally how it accomplished rule by a general. Doyle also discusses how and why the revolution destroyed the age-old cultural, institutional, and social structures in France and beyond. In this new edition, Doyle includes new sections highlighting the main developments in the field since the first edition, before exploring the legacy of the revolution in the form of rationality in public affairs and responsible government.\r\nABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

You cannot understand slavery, or British Empire, without it' Sathnam Sanghera\r\n \r\nArguing that the slave trade was at the heart of Britain's economic progress, Eric Williams's landmark 1944 study revealed the connections between capitalism and racism, and has influenced generations of historians ever since.\r\nWilliams traces the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to show how it laid the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, and how racism arose as a means of rationalising an economic decision. Most significantly, he showed how slavery was only abolished when it ceased to become financially viable, exploding the myth of emancipation as a mark of Britain's moral progress.\r\n'Its thesis is a starting point for a new generation of scholarship' New Yorker","authors":["Eric Williams"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/165\/9780241548165_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/165\/9780241548165_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/165\/9780241548165_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"15,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"24 f\u00e9vrier 2022","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Eric Williams \u2014 Penguin Books Uk","translator":null,"weight":224,"page_count":304,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Books Uk","price":1540,"published_date":"2022-02-23T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780241548165\/capitalism-and-slavery"},{"id":"9780241747599","title":"A Short History of America : From Tea Party to Trump","description":"The global powerhouse that is the United States of America is younger even than the British Museum, Guinness and the flushing toilet.
