Railway Travel in World War Two
The popular image of railway travel during the Second World War is that of a sparse service of dirty and grossly overcrowded trains that were forever being delayed.The iconic ‘is your journey really necessary’ poster campaign is credited with discouraging the public from travelling by train.This book questions these assumptions and examines the mobility requirements of the British public during the war years and aligns these to the level of service provided by the railways.Throughout the war the railways were managed by the Railway Executive Committee (REC) whose members were all senior railway officers.The conflicts between the REC and the government in respect to controlling passenger numbers on the railway system, which was overcrowded with essential additional war related freight traffic, are examined; as are the propaganda campaigns aimed at restricting ‘unnecessary’ travel.The public’s response to the travel restrictions are analysed to determine how railway passengers’ attitudes and reactions corresponded to the publicly accepted mythology.Many British citizens did reduce their railway journeys, but for others who had previously had little need to travel by train, the exigencies of war resulted in them having to make long and often difficult journeys by rail.

War and War
Winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize War & War begins at a point of danger: on a dark train platform Korim is on the verge of being attacked and robbed by thuggish teenagers.From here, we are carried along by the insistent voice of this nervous clerk.Desperate, at times almost mad, but also keenly empathic, Korim has discovered in a small Hungarian town's archives an antique manuscript of startling beauty: it narrates the epic tale of brothers-in-arms struggling to return home from a disastrous war. Korim is determined to do away with himself, but before he commits suicide, he feels he must escape to New York with the precious manuscript and commit it to eternity by typing it all out onto the world wide web.Following Korim with obsessive realism through the streets of New York (from his landing in a Bowery flophouse to his move far uptown with a mad interpreter), War and War relates his encounters with a fascinating range of people in a world torn between viciousness and mysterious beauty. Following the eight chapters of War & War is a short 'prequel acting as a sequel', 'Isaiah', which brings us to a dark bar, years before in Hungary, where Korim rants against the world and threatens suicide.Written like nothing else (turning single sentences into chapters), War & War affirms W.G. Sebald's comment that Krasznahorkai's prose far surpasses all the lesser concerns of contemporary writing.

The conflict was not solely an internal struggle within Korea, but rather a larger geopolitical struggle between the two opposing ideologies of communism and capitalism.

David Kenyon explores the story of the war in the Arctic, revealing that the contest was more evenly balanced that previously thought.Battles included major ship engagements, aircraft carriers, and combat between surface ships.Amid this wide range of forces, Bletchley Park’s Naval Section played a decisive role in Arctic operations, with both sides relying heavily on Signals Intelligence to intercept and break each other’s codes.Kenyon presents a vivid picture of the Arctic theater of war, unearthing the full-scale campaign for naval supremacy in northern waters.

How did the Second World War turn from a European war into a world war?
The Second World War turned from a European war into a world war primarily due to the expansionist policies of Nazi Germany and Japan. Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 prompted Britain and France to declare war, drawing in their colonies and allies from around the world. Japan's aggressive actions in Asia, such as the invasion of China and the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, further escalated the conflict by involving countries in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. The alliances formed between the Axis powers and the Allied powers also contributed to the global nature of the war, as countries from different regions joined the fight on either side.
