Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump term. He, his family and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again that they lied to themselves, allies and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on 28 June 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed – all but dooming the Democrats to defeat later that year.

Then, suddenly, they were assigned to a mission so sensitive and explosive that the CIA has still never acknowledged it. The CIA's source network in a country code-named 'Falcon'—one of America's most formidable rivals—had been compromised by a mole, and the agency needed a new way to collect intelligence there.

Claro está que no se trata de una ciencia exacta y que los asesinatos pueden surgir de múltiples desencadenantes. El sexo y la venganza parecen ir de la mano en el crimen. La rabia, el dinero y la venganza también son una tríada explosiva de desencadenantes. Este libro presenta mis recuerdos sobre los casos de homicidio que investigué o supervisé. En cada caso, examino el desencadenante que condujo a la muerte.

Between 1987 and 1989, Alepho, Benjamin, and Benson, like tens of thousands of young boys, took flight from the massacres of Sudan's civil war. They became known as the Lost Boys.

In jedem dieser Fälle beleuchte ich die Trigger, die zum Mord geführt haben.

The fifteenth century was a turbulent age: the Hundred Years War between England and France, and the Wars of the Roses dominated the lives of people both inside and out of the royal courts. Joan of Navarre, Katherine of Valois, Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Wydeville and Anne Neville were the queens who stood by England's sovereigns, caught up in wars that changed the course of their lives, and the course of history. They were also formidable women who defied the limitations of their times, often living out the brutal consequences of their determination.

The only others in the house were Jason's children, his wife and his parents-in-law.

Was the idea handed down from the ancient Greeks, or coined by nineteenth-century imperialists? Neither, writes Georgios Varouxakis in The West, his ambitious and fascinating genealogy of the idea.
