You’ve heard the names. You’ve seen the paintings. Maybe you even thought they were just Ninja Turtles. But behind the marble and oil paint were four real men—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello—who didn’t just create art. They rewired civilization. This isn’t a sleepy art history book. It’s a front-row seat to the most creative, competitive, and gloriously petty era in human history. Rivals, patrons, popes, politics, and power—it’s all here.

Roma, 8 giugno 1944. Vera Simoni, figlia del generale Simone Simoni, massacrato nell'eccidio delle Fosse Ardeatine, guida un corteo di donne decise a incontrare il tenente colonnello John Pollock, comandante per la pubblica sicurezza a Roma.

He wasn’t born to rule—he decided to. Seize the Crown tells the story of how a boy from Corsica rose to dominate Europe—not just with armies, but with ideas, optics, and unstoppable momentum. This isn’t a dry military chronicle or another romantic portrait. It’s a forensic breakdown of how Napoleon hacked power, reshaped law, manipulated myth, and became the blueprint for modern authoritarianism.

Our modern image of the Middle Ages—filled with vivid scenes of chivalric tournaments, epic battles, devastating plagues, revered saints, powerful kings, noble knights, and courtly ladies—was not simply uncovered through objective historical research. Rather, it was largely shaped and even invented in the 20th century. The medieval world did not emerge fully formed from the archives; it had to be imagined, interpreted, and constructed. This is the story of how that vision came to life.

Forget the image of Denmark as just a land of Vikings! While their legendary adventures capture our imagination today, this small Nordic nation boasts a far richer and more influential history–one where it consistently "punched above its weight."

“Crusade” means a war for the sake of the Cross, a war to protect Christian people from persecution and death on account of their faith in Jesus Christ. Everyone has heard of the crusades of the Middle Ages. But few know of the crusade fought for this same purpose in Spain during the early twentieth century. This is the story of that crusade, now honored in no other book in the English language. Most people who know of the Spanish Civil war do not understand why it was fought or how it was really won. This book will tell you. There is no story like it in the history of the twentieth century.

Over 40,000 Frenchmen were executed for holding fast to the Catholic Faith and objecting to the worst excesses of the Committee of Public Safety. The bloodlust of the time staggers the imagination, and the campaign against the Church was as diabolical as it was cruel. Carroll captures the brutality of the period, but also the action of grace in the heroism of the Church, the saintliness of her martyrs and the dramatic conversion of Danton—an erstwhile leader of the uprising who landed in a death-battle with the forces he helped put in motion.

In medieval Europe, Jews were not passive victims of the Christian community, as is often assumed, but rather were startlingly assertive, forming a Jewish civilization within Latin Christian society. Both Jews and Christians considered themselves to be God's chosen people. These dueling claims fueled the rise of both cultures as they became rivals for supremacy. In How the West Became Antisemitic, Ivan Marcus shows how Christian and Jewish competition in medieval Europe laid the foundation for modern antisemitism.

Sull'esempio delle proteste americane, anche in Italia si è diffusa un'ondata di revisionismo nei confronti di protagonisti e avvenimenti del passato considerati politicamente scorretti. Ma le conseguenze talvolta sono paradossali. Le asperità del passato non si possono nascondere e la complessità della storia non obbedisce alle ipersensibilità del presente.

The dramatic story of the Jewish Bund—a revolutionary movement from a vanished world—and its radical vision of solidarity in an age of division. “Molly Crabapple beckons readers through a portal to an irresistible, lost world, one bound together by passion, solidarity, and a burning hunger...

Se Pansa è stato un giornalista stimato per la sua onestà, un giornalista ‘democratico e di sinistra’, se i suoi scritti sulla Resistenza gli hanno procurato persino il riconoscimento di Grande Ufficiale della Repubblica da parte del presidente Ciampi, come è possibile che, per aver completato la verità sul ‘biennio fatale 1943-45’, si sia trasformato in un falsario o, per i suoi peggiori detrattori, nientemeno che in un fascista?”
