Un testimonio único y de gran valor, fiel al juramento de Mauthausen

Décadas después de la guerra y fiel al juramento pronunciado por los españoles supervivientes de Mauthausen el día de la liberación, Enrique Calcerrada Guijarro escribió este inigualable y estremecedor libro testimonial, de gran calado literario y valor histórico.

El relato de Enrique arranca en Francia, junto a casi medio millón de compatriotas, huyendo del avance de las tropas franquistas. Un periplo que comienza en los durísimos campos que levantaron los franceses en sus playas para los refugiados españoles. El estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial situó a Enrique en una nueva contienda y no tardó en caer en las garras de las tropas alemanas. Durante meses fue tratado como prisionero de guerra, y obligado a transitar por diversos campos en Francia, Alemania y la Polonia ocupada. En enero de 1941, su historia dio un giro dramático cuando lo deportaron al campo de concentración de Mauthausen. Desde ese instante, se convierte en el mejor cronista de la suerte que corrieron millones de hombres y mujeres en los campos nazis. Cuando, en octubre de 1941, fue trasladado a Gusen -un subcampo de Mauthausen conocido como el Matadero, donde murieron cerca de cuatro mil compatriotas-, Enrique pensó que su nuevo destino no podía ser peor que el anterior. Se equivocaba. Carros repletos de cadáveres, prisioneros famélicos, hambre, frío, enfermedades, vejaciones y sadismo... Y, frente a todo ello, el deseo de sobrevivir, la solidaridad entre los cautivos y el compromiso vital de vivir para contarlo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A unique and valuable testimony, true to the Mauthausen oath.

Decades after the war, and true to the oath a group of Spanish survivors made the day Mauthausen was liberated, Enrique Calcerrada Guijarro wrote this heart-rending and unparalleled testimonial, with great literary depth and historical value.

Enrique's tale begins in France, next to almost half a million fellow countrymen running from the advancing Francoist troops. A journey that starts in the harsh camps the French set up on their shores for Spanish refugees. The outbreak of the Second World War placed Enrique in a new fight, and it wasn't long before he was captured by German soldiers. He was treated as a prisoner of war for months, forced to move through several camps in France, Germany, and occupied Poland. In January 1941, his story took a dramatic turn when he was deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp. From then on, he became the best chronicler of the fate of millions of men and women in Nazi camps. In October 1941, he was taken to Gusen, a Mauthausen subcamp known as the Slaughterhouse, where nearly four thousand of his countrymen died. Enrique thought his new destination couldn't be worse than the last. He was wrong. Carts overloaded with dead bodies, famished prisoners, starvation, cold weather, disease, abuse, and sadism... And facing all that, the will to survive, the solidarity among those who were captive, the crucial commitment to live to tell the tale.

Great for better understanding Iran's strategic perspectives
Format: Hardcover
The book moves through the growth of Iran's strategic history since the 1979 revolution. By the time it gets to the last 100 pages its very interesting as far as understanding Iran's perspective. Also found it chilling how foreboding many parts were in light of what is happening right now

Great book to understand Iran's strategy in a historical context
Nasr provides a solid understanding of Iran both in contemporary and historical context. It makes the case clear what and how Iran is thinking. Reading it at the time of Us-Israel and Iran war helped make sense of the news media, which often follows shallow analysis.

Iran’s Strategic Error.
Format: Audiobook
Excellent discussion of Iran’s grand strategy in what they believe will protect their Nation as they continue as the world’s pariah. The book is well written and clearly lays out the history of Iran over the past 50-60 years and why they are implementing this strategy albeit a failed one, and the results. The Ayatollahs continue to pursue the destruction of Israel and struggle via terrorism and supporting war proxies to become the regions power, instead of pursuing economic wealth. This book describes the how’s and whys of this failed strategy. Good reading
