Catholic priests all across Poland were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps at the beginning of World War II. This memoir by Fr. Henryk Maria Malak (1912-1987) is their story and his. Through the author's eyes we witness the German invasion, atrocities against the local population, and the roundup of priests from the region. A series of "transports" takes them to Stutthof and Grenzdorf in Poland, then to Sachsenhausen and Dachau in Germany. Fr. Malak spent more than four years at Dachau, and he describes camp life in detail. (His final chapters are entries from a diary he kept secretly near the end of the war.) Some priests are selected for medical experiments; others are sent on "death transports." Throughout their ordeal they face brutal treatment, hard labor, hunger, disease. Although many perish along the way, all remain steadfast in their faith and in their loyalty to Poland.

The Austrian Empire was not a colonial power in the sense that fellow actors like 19th-century England and France were. It nevertheless oversaw a multinational federation where the capital of Vienna was unmistakably linked with its eastern periphery in a quasi-colonial arrangement that inevitably shaped the cultural and intellectual life of the Habsburg Empire. This was particularly evident in the era’s colonial utopian writing, and Tropics of Vienna blends literary criticism, cultural theory, and historical analysis to illuminate this curious genre. By analyzing the works of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Theodor Herzl, Joseph Roth, and other representative Austrian writers, it reveals a shared longing for alternative social and spatial configurations beyond the concept of the “nation-state” prevalent at the time.

This omnibus edition includes all three books of the System States Rebellion series with over 200,000 words of military SF action. Included in this ebook are the following novels; Rumors of Glory; Rumors of Honor and Rumors of Salvation. The first book, Rumors of Glory, can still be downloaded individually and is free. After centuries of peaceful expansion under the auspices of the Federation of Planetary States, some of the more developed colonies have had enough of the economic exploitation by Earth-chartered companies and attempt to secede. The Rebellion soon expands in both scope and violence beyond the expectations of both sides. As the war drags on year after year, it takes an unexpected turn and puts not only Human Civilization at risk but Human existence as well. This ebook has both space and ground battles, high level strategy, personal triumphs and tragedies.
