IAN KERSHAWThe EndThe Defiance and Destruction of Hitler’s Germany, 1944–1945

From the preeminent Hitler biographer, a fascinating and original explora-tion of how the Third Reich was willing and able to fight to the bitter end of World War II. “Kershaw understands as well as any man alive the complex power structure that existed in Nazi Germany.”—The Wall Street Journal

PENGUIN PRESS HARDCOVER 528 PP. 978-1-59420-314-5 $35.00

RICHARD OVERY1939: Countdown to WarIn this dramatic account of the final days before the outbreak of World War II, award-winning historian Richard Overy vividly chronicles the unraveling of peace, hour by grim hour, as politicians and ordinary citizens brace themselves for a war that could spell the end of European civilization. “Exceptionally lucid, concise and authoritative.”—The Washington Post

PENGUIN PAPERBACK 176 PP. 978-0-14-312006-3 $14.00

BEV IN ALEXANDERInside the Nazi War MachineHow Three Generals Unleashed Hitler’s Blitzkrieg Upon the World

An expert military strategist examines the groundbreaking martial concepts developed by three brilliant generals—Erwin Rommel, Erich von Manstein, and Heinz Guderian.“Vividly recounts how Rommel, von Manstein and Guderian turned the Blitz-krieg into a fearsome weapon of war in France in 1940, and how Hitler botched his best opportunity to have defeated the BEF, and perhaps defeated Britain.”—Carlo D’Este, author of PattonNAL PAPERBACK 320 PP. 978-0-451-23265-6 $16.00

FREDER ICK KEMPEBerlin 1961Kennedy, Khrushchev, and the Most Dangerous Place on Earth

FOREWORD BY GENERAL BRENT SCOWCROFT

A fresh, controversial, brilliantly written account of one of the epic dramas of the Cold War—and its lessons for today.“History at its best. Kempe’s book masterfully dissects the Cold War’s strate-gically most significant East-West confrontation, and in the process signifi-cantly enlightens our understanding of the complexity of the Cold War itself.” —Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security AdvisorBERKLEY PAPERBACK 608 PP. 978-0-425-24594-1 $16.00

LUCANCivil WarNEWLY TRANSLATED BY MATTHEW FOXINTRODUCTION BY MATTHEW FOX AND ETHAN ADAMS

Portrays two of the most colorful and powerful figures of the age—Julius Cae-sar and Pompey the Great, enemies in a vicious struggle for power that severed bloodlines and began the transformation of Roman civilization.“The translation is fluent and readable, yet still manages to convey some-thing of the violent and jagged nature of Lucan’s epic style. The excerpt from Petronius included as an appendix will be especially valuable in situating the poet in his literary context.”—Martin Brady, University College DublinPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK 800 PP. 978-0-14-310623-4 $17.00Available February 2012

NORMAN DAV IESVanished KingdomsThe Rise and Fall of States and Nations

An evocative account of fourteen European kingdoms—their rise, maturity, and eventual disappearance. Davies peers through the cracks in the main-stream accounts of modern-day states to dazzle us with extraordinary stories of barely remembered pasts, and of the traces they left behind.“An expedition along the byways of European history. It is in part a traveller’s tale, as Davies tours his half-forgotten realms, describing people and land-scape, searching for memories and physical remains of these vanished king-doms. Combined with this are the ruminations of a historian about the states and societies that are this book’s heroes and the reasons why they vanished from the map.”—Financial Times“In this brilliant, beautifully written book, Davies recovers...scattered vestiges of dead kingdoms, tracing the skeins that link modern political realities with ancient history.”—The Telegraph (UK)VIKING HARDCOVER 720 PP. 978-0-670-02273-1 $40.00

PATR IC IA SK INNER and EL ISABETH VAN HOUTS , Ed i t o r sMedieval Writings on Secular WomenINTRODUCTIONS BY THE EDITORS

Artfully arranged to follow the life stages of a medieval woman living a secular existence, this remarkable volume collects a host of writings from across dif-ferent regions and cultures spanning the ninth to the fifteenth centuries. The writings—some by famous figures, but many anonymous—illuminate the life circumstances of their authors, from a woman abandoned as a baby in Italy to a female leader of a synagogue. Featuring many new translations, Medieval Writings on Secular Women is a valuable contribution to the fields of women’s and medieval literature.PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK 448 PP. 978-0-14-143991-4 $16.00

SIMON PR ICE and PETER THONEMANNThe Birth of Classical EuropeA History from Troy to Augustine

An authoritative history covering two millennia of human experience, The Birth of Classical Europe presents provocative new perspectives on the world in whose shadow we continue to live. “Combines a strong narrative with sophisticated thematic analysis and re-flection....Despite the immense ground covered, there is no impression of the breathlessness and superficiality which one might have thought unavoid-able.”—The Times Literary Supplement (UK)“Offers a seamless history across more than two millennia....By insisting on the unifying relationship between the present and what has gone on before, Price and Thonemann place themselves in the same intellectual tradition as Augustine.”—BBC History Magazine (UK)PENGUIN PAPERBACK 416 PP. 978-0-14-312045-2 $20.00

PLUTARCHThe Age of AlexanderTRANSLATED BY IAN SCOTT-KILVERTNEW INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY TIMOTHY E. DUFF

Plutarch’s parallel biographies of the great men in Greek and Roman history are cornerstones of European literature, drawn on by countless writers since the Renaissance. This selection provides intimate glimpses into the lives of these men, revealing why the mild Artaxerxes forced the killer of his usurping brother to undergo the horrific “death of two boats;” why the noble Dion re-peatedly risked his life for the ungrateful mobs of Syracuse; why Demosthenes delivered a funeral oration for the soldiers he had deserted in battle; and why Alexander self-destructed after conquering half the world.PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK 480 PP. 978-0-14-044935-8 $16.00

RICHARD MILESCarthage Must Be DestroyedThe Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization

Drawing on a wealth of new archaeological research, Miles vividly brings to life this lost empire—from its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest seapower in the Mediterranean.“A fine, sweeping survey of the rise and fall of an empire and a glimpse into the diversity of the ancient world.”—The Wall Street Journal“Historian Richard Mills, of Cambridge, makes telling use of the latest dis-coveries yielded by Carthaginian ruins in a splendid, comprehensive effort to present the city-state as a dynamic entity and minimize it as a victimized, second-tier society so often portrayed in the histories of Roman and Western interpreters.”—The Newark Star-Ledger

It is in part a traveller’s tale, as Davies tours his half-forgotten realms, describing people and land-scape, searching for memories and physical remains of these vanished king-doms. Combined with this are the ruminations of a historian about the states and societies that are this book’s heroes and the reasons why they vanished from the map.”—Financial Times“In this brilliant, beautifully written book, Davies recovers...scattered vestiges of dead kingdoms, tracing the skeins that link modern political realities with ancient history.”—The Telegraph (UK)VIKING HARDCOVER 720 PP. 978-0-670-02273-1 $40.00

SIMON PR ICE and PETER THONEMANNThe Birth of Classical EuropeA History from Troy to Augustine

An authoritative history covering two millennia of human experience, The Birth of Classical Europe presents provocative new perspectives on the world in whose shadow we continue to live. “Combines a strong narrative with sophisticated thematic analysis and re-flection....Despite the immense ground covered, there is no impression of the breathlessness and superficiality which one might have thought unavoid-able.”—The Times Literary Supplement (UK)“Offers a seamless history across more than two millennia....By insisting on the unifying relationship between the present and what has gone on before, Price and Thonemann place themselves in the same intellectual tradition as Augustine.”—BBC History Magazine (UK)PENGUIN PAPERBACK 416 PP. 978-0-14-312045-2 $20.00

PLUTARCHThe Age of AlexanderTRANSLATED BY IAN SCOTT-KILVERTNEW INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY TIMOTHY E. DUFF

Plutarch’s parallel biographies of the great men in Greek and Roman history are cornerstones of European literature, drawn on by countless writers since the Renaissance. This selection provides intimate glimpses into the lives of these men, revealing why the mild Artaxerxes forced the killer of his usurping brother to undergo the horrific “death of two boats;” why the noble Dion re-peatedly risked his life for the ungrateful mobs of Syracuse; why Demosthenes delivered a funeral oration for the soldiers he had deserted in battle; and why Alexander self-destructed after conquering half the world.PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK 480 PP. 978-0-14-044935-8 $16.00

RICHARD MILESCarthage Must Be DestroyedThe Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization

Drawing on a wealth of new archaeological research, Miles vividly brings to life this lost empire—from its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest seapower in the Mediterranean.“A fine, sweeping survey of the rise and fall of an empire and a glimpse into the diversity of the ancient world.”—The Wall Street Journal“Historian Richard Mills, of Cambridge, makes telling use of the latest dis-coveries yielded by Carthaginian ruins in a splendid, comprehensive effort to present the city-state as a dynamic entity and minimize it as a victimized, second-tier society so often portrayed in the histories of Roman and Western interpreters.”—The Newark Star-Ledger
