A trent'anni dalla sua morte drammatica e in un mondo radicalmente cambiato, Chiara Valentini ne ricostruisce la storia politica e umana.

By March 4, 1865, the Civil War had slaughtered more than 700,000 Americans. After a morning of rain-drenched fury, tens of thousands crowded Washington’s Capitol grounds that day to see Abraham Lincoln take the oath for a second term. As the sun emerged, Lincoln rose to give perhaps the greatest inaugural address in American history, stunning the nation by arguing, in a brief 701 words, that both sides had been wrong, and that the war’s unimaginable horrors - every drop of blood spilled - might well have been God’s just verdict on the national sin of slavery.

Chris Hani's assassination gave rise to one of South Africa's great imponderables: if he had survived, what impact would he have had on politics and government in South Africa? More pointedly, could this charismatic leader have risen to become president of the country? Hani was a hero of South Africa's liberation, a communist party leader and Umkhonto we Sizwe chief of staff who was both intellectual and fighter, a man who could inspire an army but carried a book of poetry in his backpack.

In A Man Apart Richard Steyn once again brings to life a South African icon.

This is the story of freedom fighters who defied Italy’s despot by opposing the rising tide of populism and xenophobia. Chief among them: poet and aviator Lauro de Bosis, firstborn of an Italian aristocrat and a New Englander, who transformed himself into a modern Icarus and amazed the world as he risked his life in the skies to bring Il Duce down. Taras Grescoe’s inspiring story of resistance, risk, and sacrifice paints a portrait of heroes in the fight against authoritarianism. This is an essential biography for our time.

David Jiménez va ser nomenat director d'El Mundo. La il·lusió es va anar transformant en una crua batalla per defensar la independència del periodisme, que va acabar amb l’acomiadament del director després d'un any en el càrrec. Jiménez destapa aquí la podrida xarxa de pressions i influències que s'estableix entre els grups de poder econòmic i polític, i la premsa que suposadament ha de vigilar els dos primers. El director és un relat únic sobre com funciona el joc de favors entre els mitjans i l’elit d’un país, i quin preu paguen els que es neguen a participar-hi.

Ayn Rand’s complicated notoriety as popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult, reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure endured beyond her death in 1982. In the 21st century, she has been resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures, especially those on the political right, from Paul Ryan to Donald Trump. Mean Girl follows Rand’s trail through the 20th century from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and traces her posthumous appeal and the influence of her novels via her cruel, surly, sexy heroes.

Updated with a new preface by the author, this captivating biography of America’s 40th president recounts Ronald Reagan’s life - from his poverty-stricken Illinois childhood to his acting career to his California governorship to his role as commander in chief - and examines the powerful myths surrounding him, many of which he created himself. Praised by some for his sunny optimism and old-fashioned rugged individualism, derided by others for being a politician out of touch with reality, Reagan was both a popular and polarizing figure in the 1980s United States.

Serially betrayed by the people who promised to care for him, Asad lived his childhood at a sceptical remove from the adult world, his relation to others wary and tactical. By the time he had reached the cusp of adulthood, Asad had honed an array of wily talents. At the age of 17, in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, he made good as a street hustler. He also courted the famously beautiful Foosiya and, to the astonishment of his peers, married her.

In her final days in office she compiled the explosive State of Capture report and, two years before that, Secure in Comfort, the report on President Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla residence. Praised and vilified in equal measure, Madonsela frequently found herself on centre stage in the increasingly fractious South African political scene. Yet, despite the intense media scrutiny, Madonsela remains something of an enigma. Who is this soft-spoken woman who stood up to state corruption? Where did she develop her views and resolve?

Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Hass auf "den Staat": Verlieren wir den Osten Deutschlands? Das Buch sucht Antworten auf das Warum der Radikalisierung, ohne die aktuell bestimmende Opfererzählung nach 1989 zu bedienen. Es erzählt von den Schweigegeboten nach dem Ende der NS-Zeit, der Geschichtsklitterung der DDR und den politischen Umschreibungen nach der deutschen Einheit. Verdrängung und Verleugnung prägen die Gesellschaft bis ins Private hinein, wie die Autorin mit der eigenen Familiengeschichte eindrucksvoll erzählt.

Objetivo durante mucho tiempo de la campaña de Edgar Hoover para difamar, sabotear y criminalizar las organizaciones nacionalistas negras y a sus líderes, Shakur pasó cuatro años en la cárcel antes de su condena en 1977, sustentada en pruebas poco sólidas.

Fue también una madre afectuosa y una esposa enamorada que conoció - como luego su hija Juana - el tormento de los celos, pero que no dudó a la hora de reservarse el gobierno del reino que le era propio aún a despecho de su esposo, Fernando de Aragón. Una visión íntima y cercana de la reina más poderosa de su tiempo.
