Germany lost twice. Then it did something rare. It learned. This book tells the story of a nation that burned down its own future, twice, and then chose to remember. From the rise of the Iron Chancellor to the ashes of Berlin, Blitzkrieg to the Berlin Wall, and Hitler to Merkel, Germany’s story is not one of endless conquest. It’s a story of collapse, reckoning, and slow, deliberate reconstruction. Through war, guilt, genius, division, and reinvention, Germany became something almost impossible: a world power that leads quietly. A country that doesn’t hide from its ghosts.

"The Furhrer" delves into the complex and disturbing life of Adolf Hitler, a man who became synonymous with hatred and fear.

In einer Zeit, in der politische Lagerbildung die Regel ist, zeigt Volker Wissing in diesem Hörbuch, wie eine erfolgreiche demokratische Debattenkultur aussehen müsste – und wie weit wir derzeit davon entfernt sind. Wissing berichtet aus den Schaltzentralen in Berlin und zeichnet ein Bild tiefer Zerwürfnisse und politischer Grabenkämpfe, aber auch von demokratischer Haltung, wenn es wirklich zählt. Denn Verantwortung zu übernehmen heißt konstruktive Politik für Menschen zu machen statt sich in Lagerkämpfen zu verlieren.

D'abord à Auschwitz, puis au camp des Tsiganes, et enfin à Birkenau, orchestrant des expériences atroces et souvent létales sur les prisonniers. À la fin de la guerre, commence pour Mengele une longue cavale qui va le conduire de tanière en tanière, depuis Munich jusqu'au Brésil, en passant par l'Argentine et le Paraguay.

Le nom de Jean Moulin, sa figure sont devenus familiers à tous les Français. En ne parlant pas sous la torture, il a racheté les lâchetés de nombreux Français pendant l'Occupation. Mais qui était-il vraiment ? Pourquoi de Gaulle a-t-il décidé de faire de lui son représentant en France ? Était-il un sous-marin du Parti communiste, un agent soviétique ou américain ? Faut-il inscrire le tragique épisode de Caluire dans un combat fratricide ? Ce grand livre d'enquête de Pierre Péan, fourmillant de révélations, redonne à Jean Moulin une dimension humaine. Le héros était aussi un homme.

Though extremely different men in most ways, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Third Reich Fuhrer Adolf Hitler shared a passion for science, technology, and (sometimes impractical) "wonder weapons." In some cases, this fixation paid off handsomely, as in the case of British centrimetric radar, a compact, powerful radar type that enabled fitment to individual aircraft and contributed to the defeat of German U-boats.

Lions in the Shadows: The Rise and Legacy of South Africa’s Special Forces from Apartheid to Peacekeeping is a powerful journey through five decades of courage, secrecy, and transformation.

Operation Rolling Thunder was meant to be controlled. It was designed as a measured use of air power, a campaign that could pressure North Vietnam without triggering a wider war and without requiring the United States to commit to an all-consuming ground conflict. On paper, it looked like a modern solution to a Cold War problem: apply force from the air, send a message, disrupt supply, and persuade an opponent to change course.

From the bestselling author of Viking Britain, a stunning new perspective on the medieval world. When we think of the Crusades, the image is usually squarely medieval: an era of pageantry, knights, castles and cathedrals. An age of violence, certainly, but one glossed with faith, chivalry and...

'Shocking. Gripping. Unputdownable. You thought you knew the Cambridge Five? Think again! Their level of treachery beggars belief, yet the British establishment's incompetence and cover-up is equally unbelievable.' DAMIEN LEWIS, author of THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE 'Meticulously...

What followed was America’s final sustained air campaign of the war.
