The failure of Gorbachev's Asian initiatives has had dramatic consequences, by the late 1980s, the Soviet Union was in full retreat from Asia, and since the Soviet collapse, Russia has been left on the sidelines of the "Pacific century." In this exceptionally wide-ranging and deeply researched audiobook, Sergey Radchenko offers an illuminating account of the end of the Cold War in the East, tracing the death of Soviet ambitions in Asia.

Story2
This book - the first comprehensive transatlantic history of the rise of neoliberal politics - presents a surprising answer. Based on archival research and interviews with leading participants in the movement, Masters of the Universe traces the ascendancy of neoliberalism from the academy of interwar Europe to supremacy under Reagan and Thatcher and in the decades since. Daniel Stedman Jones argues that there was nothing inevitable about the victory of free-market politics.

Few diseases are more gruesome than typhus. Transmitted by body lice, it afflicts the dispossessed - refugees, soldiers, and ghettoized peoples - causing hallucinations, terrible headaches, boiling fever, and often death. The disease plagued the German army on the Eastern Front and left the Reich desperate for a vaccine. For this they turned to the brilliant and eccentric Polish zoologist Rudolf Weigl.

Story1
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.

Story1
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.

Story1
Around noon on January 15, 1919, a group of firefighters were playing cards in Boston's North End when they heard a tremendous crash. It was like, "a roaring surf," one of them said later. Like, "a runaway two-horse team smashing through a fence," said another. A third firefighter jumped up from his chair to look out a window - "Oh my God!" he shouted to the other men, "Run!" A 50-foot-tall steel tank filled with 2.3 million gallons of molasses had just collapsed on Boston's waterfront, disgorging its contents as a 15-foot-high wave of molasses that at its outset traveled at 35 miles an hour.

La Inquisición española fue una mezcla de agencia de espionaje, unidad de asuntos internos y fuerza de orden público que, aunque tuviera como objetivo prioritario la persecución de delitos religiosos, acabó convirtiéndose –y esta es una de las sorpresas mayúsculas de este libro– en un brazo «político» de la monarquía hispánica, realizando una labor de vigilancia global, con intervenciones quirúrgicas.

Le 30 janvier 1933, Adolf Hitler est nommé chancelier du Reich. Les nazis avaient développé, depuis 1919 et le traumatisme de la Grande Guerre, une vision du monde qui n’avait d’original que sa cohérence raciste et son élan utopique. Ils surent exploiter le contexte d’une crise majeure, celle de 1929, pour subjuguer les consciences et accéder au pouvoir. Le pouvoir leur fut donné, avec une inconséquence sidérante, par les élites en place qui pensaient que Hitler ne tiendrait que quelques semaines et que ses partisans seraient "domestiqués".

Non appena in Occidente si sparse la voce della prossima uscita della flotta turca, papa Pio V decise che quella era l'occasione buona per realizzare un progetto che sognava da tempo: l'unione delle potenze cristiane per affrontare gli infedeli in mare con forze schiaccianti, e mettere fine una volta per tutte alla minaccia che gravava sulla Cristianità. Quando divenne sempre più evidente che la tempesta era destinata a scaricarsi su Cipro, il vecchio inquisitore divenuto pontefice, persecutore accanito di ebrei ed eretici, volle affrettare i tempi." È la primavera del 1570.

¿Estuvo implicado Alfonso XIII en el golpe de Estado de 1923?, ¿se produjeron mejoras sociales y económicas? ¿Dimitió voluntariamente Primo de Rivera? (tag de abajo) Los seis años que abarca la dictadura de Miguel Primo de Rivera (1923-1930) supone uno de los periodos de la historia de España menos conocidos, quizás, porque no pocos historiadores la han calificado como un paréntesis vacío dentro de la Restauración borbónica. Hoy sabemos que, en absoluto, fue un hombre campechano sin ideología.

È giunto il momento di smontare uno dei luoghi comuni più duraturo della storia repubblicana, ovvero quello secondo il quale il fascismo è morto e sepolto da fine aprile 1945. Già nel secondo dopoguerra, infatti, la dottrina della continuità dello Stato riportò ai vertici di prefetture e polizia personaggi di schietta fede fascista. Poi si è permessa la ricostituzione di un partito fascista come il Movimento sociale italiano che, tra manganello e doppiopetto, ha avuto un ruolo negli scontri di piazza e ha contribuito perfino all’elezione di presidenti della Repubblica (da Antonio Segni a Giovanni Leone).

Irresponsabili che con le loro azioni scatenano le rappresaglie naziste e fasciste che si abbattono sulla popolazione inerme. Esaltati che combattono per imporre una dittatura comunista in Italia. Assassini che infieriscono sui vinti. E ancora, autori di un racconto falsificato della storia, imposto a tutti. Questi giudizi sui partigiani oggi sono parte integrante di un senso comune diffuso, popolato di frasi fatte.

Articolato in quindici capitoli, il manuale tratta del periodo che va dal 1914 a oggi. Azioni e mentalità di uomini e di donne sono proiettate nel tessuto della grande storia quali oggetti d'analisi di straordinaria capacità espressiva; i mezzi di comunicazione, i consumi e la pubblicità, le arti, gli stili di vita, lo sport, il linguaggio, la scienza - ma anche temi dalle forti implicazioni simboliche e politiche, come le identità sessuali o le discriminazioni razziali - tematizzano criticamente l'analisi degli eventi.

Il regno delle Due Sicilie era una specie di paradiso in terra: ben amministrato da un governo illuminato come quello napoletano, aveva raggiunto risultati straordinari che lo ponevano all’avanguardia in Europa. Ma proprio questo benessere aveva acceso la cupidigia del Nord che con la forza delle armi se n’è impadronito, distruggendone l’industria, occupando militarmente i territori e sterminando i ‘briganti’, in realtà eroici resistenti all’oppressione.

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.
