Charles Stewart Henry Vane-Tempest-Stewart, the 7th Marquess of Londonderry, was born to power and command. But history has not been kind to "Charley", as the king called him, because, in his own words, he "backed the wrong horse", and a very dark horse indeed: Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. Londonderry was hardly the only British aristocrat to do so, but he was the only Cabinet member to do so, and it ruined him. Author Ian Kershaw is not out to rehabilitate Lord Londonderry but to understand him and to expose why he was made a scapegoat.

For all the literature about Adolf Hitler, there have been just four seminal biographies; this is the fifth, a landmark work that sheds important new light on Hitler himself.

Die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts war turbulent: Ganze Gesellschaften wurden umgestaltet, blutige Kriege geführt – oft unter Verachtung der grundlegendsten Werte.

Andreas Kossert, renommierter Experte zum Thema Flucht und Vertreibung im 20. Jahrhundert und Autor des Bestsellers Kalte Heimat, stellt in diesem Buch die Flüchtlingsbewegung des frühen 21. Jahrhunderts in einen großen geschichtlichen Zusammenhang. Immer nah an den Einzelschicksalen und auf bewegende Weise zeigt Kossert, welche existenziellen Erfahrungen von Entwurzelung und Anfeindung mit dem Verlust der Heimat einhergehen – und warum es für Flüchtlinge und Vertriebene zu allen Zeiten so schwer ist, in der Fremde neue Wurzeln zu schlagen.
