Lisbon: War in the Shadows of the City of Light, 1939-1945


Description

Lisbon had a pivotal role in the history of World War II, though not a gun was fired there. The only European city in which both the Allies and the Axis power operated openly, it was temporary home to much of Europe's exiled royalty, over one million refugees seeking passage to the U.S., and a host of spies, secret police, captains of industry, bankers, prominent Jews, writers and artists, escaped POWs, and black marketeers. An operations officer writing in 1944 described the daily scene at Lisbon's airport as being like the movie "Casablanca," times twenty. In this riveting narrative, renowned historian Neill Lochery draws on his relationships with high-level Portuguese contacts, access to records recently uncovered from Portuguese secret police and banking archives, and other unpublished documents to offer a revelatory portrait of the War's back stage. And he tells the story of how Portugal, a relatively poor European country trying frantically to remain neutral amidst extraordinary pressures, survived the war not only physically intact but significantly wealthier. The country's emergence as a prosperous European Union nation would be financed in part, it turns out, by a cache of Nazi gold.

Inspired by the stories of Sinbad and One Thousand and One Nights, Aladdin and Alibaba fight epic battles, journey to far-off lands, and search for the secrets of King Solomon and the mysterious dungeons. Deep within the desert lie the mysterious Dungeons, vast stores of riches there for the taking by anyone lucky enough to find them and brave enough to venture into the depths from where few have ever returned. Plucky young adventurer Aladdin means to find the Dungeons and their riches, but Aladdin may be just as mysterious as the treasures he seeks. Now that the battle for Magnoshutatt is over, Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana return to Sindria. Familiar faces welcome them, as well as a few surprising characters! As a larger conflict with the Kou Empire looms, the various sides agree to Lisbon: War in the Shadows of the City of Light, 1939-1945 download epub a world summit. But before that, Alibaba returns to Balbadd to find that things in his homeland have changed drastically.
