This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of 30 years' work - examines the two tyrants during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history. Yet despite the fact they were bitter opponents, Laurence Rees shows that Hitler and Stalin were, to a large extent, different sides of the same coin. Hitler's charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin's regimented rule by fear, and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin's change in behaviour in response to events.

The Fight for China’s Future throws light on the quintessence of 21st century Chinese politics through the prism of the struggle between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and China’s vibrant intelligentsia and civil society. This book examines Xi Jinping’s 24-hour, multi-dimensional, AI-enabled police-state apparatus and explores the CCP’s policy towards civil society.

La extrema derecha está dejando de raparse la cabeza y cada vez emplea menos el saludo romano; ahora se pone traje y corbata, y, junto al emoji de carita sonriente y el de la taza de café, continúa la cadena de fake news y comparte los titulares con mayor clickbait que le han llegado a través de sus redes sociales para dar los buenos días. Aunque aquella resulta clara y llanamente amenazadora, la nueva versión encierra peligros que pasan fácilmente inadvertidos.

Richard Bessel, history professor at the University of York, specializes in the social and political history of Nazi Germany. In four compelling essays, he forcefully argues that racism made war inevitable. The Third Reich, led by "[A] band of political gangsters", came to power with a deep ideological commitment to war and racism. As the driving force behind the economics, social policy, and propaganda of Germany, racial hatred was the catalyst that plunged Europe into war.

Judith Butler, the pioneering theorist whose iconic book Gender Trouble redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts one of the most pressing issues of our time. So-called "gender ideology"—and its supposed dangers—has provoked reactionary backlash across the world. Global networks spread the idea that “gender” is a dangerous, if not diabolical, ideology threatening to destroy families, local cultures, civilizations—and even "man" himself.

Acht Monate lang tauchte Tobias Ginsburg inkognito in die Szene der "Reichsbürger" und rechten Verschwörungstheoretiker ein. Er baute sich eine Scheinidentität im Netz auf und bewegte sich unter AfD-Politikern, gewaltbereiten Neonazis und friedensbewegten Esoterikern in Braun, Sektierern und Systemumstürzlern. Sein Buch ist ein ebenso erschütternder wie komischer Streifzug durch eine Welt böser Verführer und verführter Irregeleiteter, das zugleich einen neuen, literarischen Ton in die investigative Reportage einführt.

La extrema derecha española empezó a parecerse un poco más a la europea cuando murió el dictador Francisco Franco. La transición estuvo marcada por la violencia de los grupos parapoliciales y el terrorismo de Estado, pero pronto llegaron las bandas de skinheads neonazis, los ultras del fútbol, y poco a poco, las nuevas formaciones de ultraderecha y los movimientos sociales neofascistas.

Non una storia del fascismo e del nazismo, bensì un bilancio puntuale dei tratti che li apparentarono, e delle singolarità rispettive. Grande attenzione è data anche al parallelo sul governo dell'economia, incluse l'agricoltura, l'autarchia e la mobilitazione economica; al rapporto dei due regimi con la cultura e la società, al rispettivo grado di consenso, infine al modo in cui nazismo e fascismo affrontarono la sfida della guerra. L'autore reca un utile contributo conoscitivo sui caratteri del totalitarismo di destra.

Lautstark schwingen sich selbsternannte Tribunen des Volkes, esoterische "Querdenker" und autoritäre Demagogen zu Verteidigern der demokratischen Ordnung auf, deren Werte sie eigentlich ablehnen. Um Gefolgschaft zu organisieren, schüren sie Ängste vor drohendem Chaos und spinnen Verschwörungstheorien über anonyme Mächte, die das Schicksal der Nation bestimmen. Vorschläge zur Lösung komplexer gesellschaftlicher Probleme sind ihre Sache nicht.

He examines the crumbling of the social fabric and the fractures of the Biden era, including the halting steps toward a Green New Deal, the illegitimate authority of the Supreme Court, in particular its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19. Chomsky also untangles the roots of the War in Ukraine, the diplomatic tensions among the United States, China, and Russia, and considers the need for climate action on an international scale.

Edda Mussolini was Benito's favourite daughter: spoilt, venal, uneducated but clever, faithless but flamboyant, a brilliant diplomat, wild but brave and ultimately strong and loyal. She was her father's confidante during the 20 years of Fascist rule, acting as envoy to both Germany and Britain, and playing a part in steering Italy to join forces with Hitler. From her early 20s, she was effectively first lady of Italy. She married Galeazzo Ciano, who would become the youngest foreign secretary in Italian history.

Les mémoires d'Albert Speer sont un document exceptionnel à plus d'un titre : témoignage d'un des plus hauts dignitaires nazis, il relate en détail le fonctionnement de l'appareil d'État vu de l'intérieur, avec le mélange de rationalité bureaucratique et de soumission à l'arbitraire du chef qui le caractérise. Mais c'est aussi l'itinéraire d'un homme brillant, architecte de talent, qui est rapidement séduit par Hitler et qui va progressivement mettre son intelligence et ses compétences au service de la machine de guerre nazie et d'une idéologie totalitaire.

Wie alles begann. Am 24. Juni 2022 jährt sich die Ermordung des deutschen Außenministers Walther Rathenau zum 100. Mal. Der Journalist und Buchautor Thomas Hüetlin lässt zu diesem Anlass die Ereignisse, die zu dieser verhängnisvollen Tat führten, in einer aufrüttelnden Reportage wieder auferstehen. Er erzählt vom Verlauf dieses tragischen Tages der deutschen Geschichte und den politischen Auswirkungen bis in unsere Tage hinein. Wie in einem Thriller laufen die Operationen der "Organisation Consul" auf den Tag X zu - ebenso wie das Leben Walther Rathenaus, dieser herausragenden Persönlichkeit.

Resultado de mais de três anos de apuração, O Negócio do Jair: A história proibida do clã Bolsonaro desvenda o passado secreto da família que hoje comanda o Brasil. A jornalista Juliana Dal Piva parte do escândalo das rachadinhas exposto pelo caso Queiroz, a partir de dezembro de 2018, para contar uma história que remonta à entrada de Jair Bolsonaro na política na década de 1990.

This is the incredible tale of Operation Fifth Column, a Second World War MI5 operation so secret that its existence was revealed by the National Archives for the first time only in 2014. Throughout the war and even for a couple of years afterwards, 'Agent Jack' - in reality, a bank clerk named Eric Roberts - acted as a Gestapo agent to whom hundreds of British-based Nazi sympathisers and informers passed their secrets, thinking that he was sending them back to Germany.

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I. As an evil dictator during World War II, he greatly overextended his forces and was eventually killed by his own people in Mezzegra, Italy.

Qu'est-ce que le fascisme ? Cette question ne cesse de se poser aux historiens avec la même force qu'elle le faisait aux contemporains de Mussolini. Fut-il un mouvement réactionnaire, conservateur ou révolutionnaire ? Se situait-il à gauche ou à droite ? Autre question cruciale : quelle place y occupa le Duce, et peut-on réduire le fascisme à un simple "mussolinisme" ? Le présent ouvrage apporte des réponses à ces questions tout en jetant sur le fascisme un regard nouveau et rare chez les historiens français.

German tanks rolled unimpeded across the Russian steppes at the start of Hitler’s campaign against the Soviet Union. But in 1943, the so-called Slavic "untermensch" (subhumans) gain the initiative and transform the country into a hell for Hitler’s invasion forces. Nearly 100,000 Germans are captured after the Battle of Stalingrad at the beginning of the year. Ahead lies cold, hunger and ill-treatment, and only five percent of prisoners will return to Germany after the war.

Rechte sind überall. Sie sitzen im Bundestag - in Form der AfD. Sie nutzen die sozialen Netzwerke und tragen Hass und Gewalt auf die Straßen. Franziska Schreiber analysiert in ihrem neuen Hörbuch die Strategien der Rechten im Kampf um Macht und Wählerstimmen und zeigt, wie wir uns dagegen wehren können. Was ist die richtige Antwort auf die gezielten Provokationen der AfD, die Parlamente als Bühne demokratiefeindlicher Propaganda missbraucht? Wie führen wir Debatten mit Rechten, die Fake News und einer "Wir gegen alle"-Rhetorik anheimfallen?
