Story
In the spring of 1944 gendarmes forcibly removed Tibor “Max” Eisen and his family from their home, brought them to a brickyard, and eventually loaded them onto crowded cattle cars bound for Auschwitz-Birkenau. At 15 years of age, Eisen survived the selection process and he was inducted into the camp as a slave laborer. More than 70 years after the Nazi camps were liberated by the Allies, By Chance Alone details Eisen’s story of survival.

Story
Jim Thompson landed in Thailand at the end of World War II, a former American society dilettante who became an Asian legend as a spy and silk magnate with access to Thai worlds outsiders never saw. As the Cold War reached Thailand, America had a choice: Should it, as Thompson believed, help other nations build democracies from their traditional cultures or, as his ex-OSS friend Willis Bird argued, remake the world through deception and self-serving alliances? This book explores a key Cold War epidsode.

Story
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has emerged on Heisenberg’s role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In Beyond Uncertainty, Cassidy interprets this and other previously unknown material within the context of his vast research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist’s personal responsibility and guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime.

Story
On November 4, 1791, a coalition of warriors determined to set the Ohio River as a permanent boundary between tribal lands and White settlements faced an army led by Arthur St. Clair—the resulting horrific struggle ended in the greatest defeat of an American army at the hands of Native Americans. The road to the battle of the Wabash began when Arthur St. Clair was appointed to lead an army into the heart of the Ohio Indian Confederacy while building a string of fortifications along the way. He would face difficulties in recruiting, training, feeding, and arming volunteer soldiers.

Il est arrivé le 15 mai 1779 à l'École royale militaire de Brienne. Il n'a pas encore dix ans et parle à peine le français... Il va rester cinq ans dans cette école, sans la quitter un seul jour, sans revoir sa famille. Vingt ans plus tard, cet enfant sera le général Napoléon, maître de cette France ou il n'a d'abord été qu'un étranger. Quel caractère, quelle volonté, quel courage, quelle énergie, quelle imagination, quelle démesure, quelle puissance de rêve, quel sens des situations, quel génie il a fallu à l'enfant arraché à son milieu pour devenir le héros d'une nation !

Story
The Holocaust is the defining event of the twentieth century and perhaps all of modern history. Yet for too long, we have ignored the vital question of how and why such a monstrous event could have happened at all. Now, in How Could This Happen, historian Dan McMillan distills the existing Holocaust research into a cogent explanation of the genocide’s causes, revealing how a once progressive society like Germany could commit murder on such a massive scale.

Story
Autumn 1945 saw the start of the Nuremberg trials, in which high ranking representatives of the Nazi government were called to account for their war crimes. In a curious yet fascinating twist, witnesses for the prosecution and the defense were housed together in a villa on the outskirts of town. The Witness House reveals the social structures that allowed a cruel and unjust regime to flourish and serves as a symbol of the blurred boundaries between accuser and accused that would come to form the basis of postwar Germany.

Story
Winner of the 2011 Strega Prize, this blend of essay, social criticism, and memoir is a striking portrait of the effects of globalization on Italy’s declining economy. Starting from his family’s textile factory in Prato, Tuscany, Edoardo Nesi examines the recent shifts in Italy’s manufacturing industry. Only one generation ago, Prato was a thriving industrial center that prided itself on craftsmanship and quality. But during the last decade, cheaply made goods - produced overseas or in Italy by poorly paid immigrants - saturated the market, making it impossible for Italian companies to keep up.

Story
In molti scritti sulla Resistenza sono indicati come autori di attacchi ai tedeschi o vittime dei loro rastrellamenti "i partigiani", senza altra specificazione. Ma in gran parte dei casi si trattò di partigiani comunisti, la cui connotazione politica in seguito è rimasta spesso sotto traccia. Nel dopoguerra fu il loro stesso partito a inglobarli nella sua visione della guerra di Liberazione come "guerra di popolo" combattuta da un ampio fronte antifascista quasi indifferenziato.

Grandi manifestazioni chiedevano a gran voce le dimissioni di Netanyahu e del suo governo e il paese era praticamente bloccato. La risposta al gesto terroristico di Hamas con la guerra di Gaza rischia però di essere un vero e proprio suicidio per Israele.

Una ricostruzione che diventa un racconto pieno di fascino: siamo sul campo di battaglia, ascoltiamo i suoni, vediamo i colori, odoriamo il fumo. Viviamo con i soldati francesi e poi con quelli inglesi e poi con i prussiani in una sorta di ripresa cinematografica a tratti dall'alto, a tratti dal basso, ad altezza d'uomo. Questo libro è il primo ad analizzare la battaglia in una prospettiva europea, dando voce a tutti coloro che vi presero parte, di qualsiasi nazionalità: le loro emozionanti testimonianze costituiscono il filo conduttore del libro.

Story
Nell'agosto del 1519 cinque navi partirono dal porto di Siviglia. Erano tutte parte di una spedizione patrocinata e sostenuta dall’imperatore Carlo V. Alla loro guida si trovava un ammiraglio portoghese allontanato dal suo paese con disonore e che si era messo al servizio della Corona spagnola in cerca di riscatto. L’obiettivo del viaggio era dimostrare che le Isole Molucche, allora famose perché produttrici di spezie, appartenevano alla Spagna e non al Portogallo secondo le regole del trattato di Tordesillas che aveva diviso il pianeta tra questi due imperi.

Diciassette mesi nascosti sottoterra: l'avventura di quarantasei ebrei nel diario di un ragazzo che sfuggì ai nazisti. Nei primi mesi del 1943 l'ombra della liquidazione incombeva sul ghetto di Drohobycz, una cittadina polacca ai piedi dei Carpazi. Gli ebrei scampati a due anni di occupazione nazista sapevano di essere condannati e cercarono di nascondersi in attesa dell'Armata rossa. Alcuni di loro, raccolti attorno alle famiglie Mayer e Schwartz, spesero le ultime risorse per costruire un bunker sotto una villa.

The liberal democratic order that seemed so stable in North America and Western Europe has become precarious. James E. Cronin argues that liberalism has never been secure and that since the 1930s the international order has had to be crafted, redeployed, and extended in response to both victories and setbacks.

Story
Nel discorso pubblico italiano e internazionale c’è una formula che ritorna costantemente: "la Germania ha saputo fare i conti con il nazismo". Se però andiamo a verificare quanto c’è di vero in questa frase, ci accorgiamo quanto il passato nazista abbia condizionato il lungo dopoguerra tedesco, generando una tacita e continua tensione, ma producendo solo occasionalmente effettive prese di responsabilità. In questo libro scopriremo come, dopo decenni di oblio e di silenzio interessato, si è cominciato ad affrontare questo tema.

Immaginate un paese in cui si ripete costantemente "che c'entriamo noi col fascismo?" e "ma poi, anche se fosse, tanto non era una dittatura, anzi ha fatto pure qualche cosa di buono". Immaginate un paese dove il crollo del fascismo viene chiamato anche 'morte della patria', dove la Resistenza diventa un'eredità scomoda da nascondere quanto prima nella soffitta della memoria. Ecco, ora immaginate di mettere alla prova dei fatti queste parole che sono diventate quasi senso comune.

Quando diciamo: "Prima gli italiani!" cosa intendiamo? Chi ha la cittadinanza italiana o chi in Italia ci abita? Chi parla italiano? Chi ha genitori italiani o chi in Italia ci è nato? E non è la prima volta che ci poniamo questa domanda: ha cominciato Dante con la ‘serva Italia’; poi d’Azeglio con gli ‘italiani da fare’; e ancora, i ‘santi, poeti e navigatori’; gli ‘italiani nuovi’ fascisti o ‘gli italiani brava gente’. Urliamo questo slogan in un paese dai confini incerti, diviso tra nord e sud, est e ovest, città e campagna.
