Story
Throughout the war on the Eastern Front, there were two consistent trends. The Red Army battled to learn how to fight and win, while involved in a struggle for its very survival. But by 1944 it had a leadership that was able to wield it with lethal effect and with far more effective equipment than before. By contrast, the Wehrmacht had commenced a slow process of decline after the invasion of the Soviet Union. Hitler became increasingly unwilling to delegate decision-making to commanders in the field, which had been crucial to earlier success.

In molti scritti sulla Resistenza sono indicati come autori di attacchi ai tedeschi o vittime dei loro rastrellamenti "i partigiani", senza altra specificazione.

Nel dopoguerra fu il loro stesso partito a inglobarli nella sua visione della guerra di Liberazione come "guerra di popolo" combattuta da un ampio fronte antifascista quasi indifferenziato.

In the early morning of 9 April 1940 a fleet of German ships entered the Oslofjord. The Norwegian artillery delayed the German advance long enough for King Haakon VII and his cabinet to escape to England, but there was no stopping the Nazi blitzkrieg. Norway stood on the cusp of a traumatic five-year occupation whose aftershocks would continue to trouble its national consciousness long after the defeated Germans departed in May 1945. In a magnificent feat of storytelling, Robert Ferguson tells the extraordinary – and relatively little-known – story of the occupation and its judicial aftermath.

Story
Liverpool is a unique city within the United Kingdom—in terms of its dialect, hedonism, friendliness, rejection of 'Englishness', and most pertinently, its politics. It is bastion of working-class left-wing politics like no other—as evidenced by the suspension of a Liverpool FC match after the death of the Queen, for fear the Liverpool fans would boo the minute's silence. Yet it was not always so, and Liverpool's transformation from a stronghold of working-class Toryism to its current identity is a remarkable remaking.

The Viking Great Army landed in East Anglia in late 865 and over the following fifteen years it fought numerous battles in all four Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, made and broke peace treaties, and deposed or killed at least three Anglo-Saxon kings, replacing them with its own appointees. It had a major impact on English society, initiating extensive transformations in Anglo-Saxon society, culture, economy, and political organization. Previous Viking armies had raided only in the summer months, but the Great Army was a constant presence over this period.

Story
Ci sono buchi in Sardegna che sono case di fate, morti che sono colpa di donne vampiro, fumi sacri che curano i cattivi sogni e acque segrete dove la luna specchiandosi rivela il futuro e i suoi inganni. Ci sono statue di antichi guerrieri alti come nessun sardo è stato mai, truci culti di santi che i papi si sono scordati di canonizzare, porte di pietra che si aprono su mondi ormai scomparsi, e mari di grano lontani dal mare, costellati di menhir contro i quali le promesse spose strusciano impudicamente il ventre nel segreto della notte, vegliate da madri e nonne.

The book outlines “the activities of Nazi agents in the United States, Mexico, and Central America” in the late 1930s. “During the past five years,” Spivak writes, “I have observed some of them, watching the original, crudely organized and directed propaganda machine develop, grow and leave an influence far wider than most people seem to realize.” First aimed at domestic propaganda, these activities extended to probing U.S. military secrets and attempting to damage U.S. relations to its neighbors to the south.

"Преданная революция" — одно из самых известных произведений Троцкого, сам автор даже называл эту книгу "главным делом в своей жизни". Написанная во время вынужденного затворничества в Норвегии книга посвящена анализу советского политического режима и прогнозу его дальнейшего развития. Не стесняясь формулировок, Троцкий в яростной и категоричной манере сводит счеты со своим главным противником И. В. Сталиным и утверждает, что "свинцовый зад бюрократии перевесил голову революции", превратив страну в "деформированное рабочее государство".

En levende fortælling om et helt særligt kapitel af den dansk-grønlandske historie.I 1728-1731 søgte den danske konge, Frederik 4., at sætte skub i koloniseringen af Grønland med en stort anlagt ekspedition, der én gang for alle skulle sikre det danske riges dominans over det enorme land. Der skulle bygges nye kolonier for at få kontrol over den grønlandske befolkning, der skulle rejses et fort til skræk og advarsel for konkurrerende nationer, og en europæisk kolonibefolkning skulle grundlægges.

Am 18. Februar 1882 besteigt Karl Marx in Marseille den Dampfer "Said" und verlässt zum ersten Mal Europa. Den Tod seiner Frau Jenny drei Monate zuvor hat er nicht verwunden. Er ist krank und hofft auf Genesung in Algier. Anhand von teils unpublizierten Quellen erzählt Uwe Wittstock höchst lebendig von der letzten großen Reise des großen Denkers und blickt mit ihm zurück auf sein außergewöhnliches Leben: die wilden Studienjahre in Bonn und Berlin, Marx’ frühe poetische Ambitionen, seine seltsam bremsende Rolle im Revolutionsjahr 1848, dann das ewige Exil, die Zumutungen der Armut.

In Drunk on Genocide, Edward B. Westermann reveals how, over the course of the Third Reich, scenes involving alcohol consumption and revelry among the SS and police became a routine part of rituals of humiliation in the camps, ghettos, and killing fields of Eastern Europe. Westermann draws on a vast range of newly unearthed material to explore how alcohol consumption served as a literal and metaphorical lubricant for mass murder. It facilitated "performative masculinity," expressly linked to physical or sexual violence.

Story
Das Ende des nationalsozialistischen Deutschen Reichs scheint klar verortet: Am 7. bzw. 9. Mai wird die bedingungslose Kapitulation der deutschen Wehrmacht unterzeichnet. Damit war zwar der Krieg zu Ende, noch nicht aber waren Wehrmacht und "Drittes Reich" endgültig untergegangen. Nicht jeder bekam sogleich mit oder wollte mitbekommen, dass alles zu Ende war. Manche kämpften weiter, Hinrichtungen von "Deserteuren" gab es noch massenhaft. Manche versuchten sich abzusetzen, begingen Selbstmord oder gerierten sich als Unbeteiligte wie Albert Speer.
