At the age of 19, scared and illiterate, James Pennington, escaped from slavery in 1827 and soon became one of the leading voices against slavery prior to the Civil War. Just 10 years after his escape, Pennington was ordained as a priest after studying at Yale and was soon traveling all over the world as an anti-slavery advocate. He was so well respected by European audiences that the University of Heidelberg awarded him an honorary doctorate, making him the first person of African descent to receive such a degree.

An intimate account of the Spitzer administration, one man's political downfall, and the enduring friendship between two complex men. The March 10, 2008, disclosure that Governor Eliot Spitzer had patronized prostitutes from the Emperor's Club VIP sex ring shocked New Yorkers and his admirers around the world, who had celebrated Spitzer as the "Sheriff of Wall Street" and a likely future U.S. president. Ironically, one man's disillusionment with Spitzer had begun to disappear 15 hours earlier, when Spitzer confessed what the rest of the world would soon learn in a media storm of unprecedented intensity.

Story1
Derided by the Right as dangerous and by the Left as spineless, Barack Obama puzzles observers. In Reading Obama, James T. Kloppenberg reveals the sources of Obama's ideas and explains why his principled aversion to absolutes does not fit contemporary partisan categories. Obama's commitments to deliberation and experimentation derive from sustained engagement with American democratic thought.

Signing Their Rights Away chronicles a moment in American history when our elected officials knew how to compromise - and put aside personal gain for the greater good of the nation. These men were just as quirky and flawed as the elected officials we have today: Hugh Williamson believed in aliens, Robert Morris went to prison, Jonathan Dayton stole $18,000 from Congress, and Thomas Mifflin was ruined by alcohol. Yet somehow these imperfect men managed to craft the world’s most perfect Constitution.

"Questo è il diario dei giorni che Walter Veltroni ha vissuto da sindaco di Roma, succedendo a Francesco Rutelli che aveva determinato la ripresa della capitale. È il resoconto dal vivo di quella esperienza di governo, dei giorni fondamentali di una stagione in cui Roma cresceva, in Pil e occupazione, tre volte più del resto del Paese, in cui si diede vita a una politica sociale e di inclusione che comportò idee inedite e mezzi nuovi. In cui si affrontò il tema centrale della "ricucitura" di Roma, mettendo le periferie al primo posto.

Sono passati 35 anni dall'agonia, dalla morte, dai funerali di Enrico Berlinguer. In quei giorni l'Italia restò sospesa. E la morte di Berlinguer fu causa di dolore non solo per chi condivideva le sue idee, ma anche per chi le avversava. Questo audiolibro racconta le ragioni di quel dolore collettivo, ma soprattutto cerca di restituire ciò che di esemplare, unico, valido ancora e soprattutto oggi, resta dell'eredità politica del segretario del Partito comunista italiano. "Credo sia utile ritrovare oggi le idee di Enrico Berlinguer...".

L'incontro tra Veltroni sedicenne e il futuro leader del Pci avviene nel 1971. "Era di una timidezza che incuteva timore, mi piaceva la sua faccia, assomigliava alle sue idee. Capii che stava facendo qualcosa di grande, mi ha cambiato la vita." Ma chi era quell'uomo schivo che è riuscito a trasformare il Partito comunista in una grande forza capace di raccogliere il consenso di un italiano su tre? Veltroni lo racconta attraverso le testimonianze della figlia Bianca, di Emanuele Macaluso, di Giorgio Napolitano, di Aldo Tortorella.

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

È Concetta Candido, di mestiere faceva l'addetta alle pulizie in una grande birreria di Settimo Torinese, inquadrata in una cooperativa inventata e presieduta dagli stessi titolari della birreria. Da sei mesi Concetta è stata licenziata. Così, senza lavoro, senza liquidazione e con il sussidio di disoccupazione che per un disguido burocratico non arriva, Concetta giunge all'apice della disperazione.

He is the star of a hit Broadway musical, the face on the 10-dollar bill, and a central figure among the founding fathers. But do you really know Alexander Hamilton? Rather than lionize Hamilton, Americans should carefully consider his most significant and ultimately detrimental contribution to modern society: the shredding of the United States Constitution. Connecting the dots between Hamilton's invention of implied powers in 1791 to transgender bathrooms and same-sex marriage today, Brion McClanahan shows the origins of our modern federal leviathan.

The Naked God is Howard Fast's public repudiation of the Communist Party, of which he was a devoted member for thirteen years until reading about the full scope of atrocities committed by the Soviet Union under Stalin. The best-selling author of Spartacus and Citizen Tom Paine, Howard Fast lent his writing talents and celebrity to the communist cause as a steadfast advocate and public figure. However, he felt increasingly ill at ease with the superior manner Party leaders took with rank-and-file members and with rumors of Soviet anti-Semitism.

El libro recoge los puntos de vista de aquel joven provinciano, enamorado del teatro y la poesía, que luchó durante veinte años en clandestinidad contra una malsana dictadura y que, más por azar y por responsabilidad, que por vocación, desempeñó un cierto papel en el gobierno de España y que hoy quiere creer que todavía sus opiniones encuentran eco en algunos españoles. En marzo de 2022, Alfonso Guerra se sentó frente a la cámara del cineasta Manuel Lamarca para hacer un repaso a su trayectoria personal y política.

Jimmy Carter: America's best ex-president? Only if you're not bothered by the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism (which started on his watch), the shamefaced foreign policy of Bill Clinton and John Kerry (ditto), and think that ex-presidents should travel the world coddling dictators and bad-mouthing America la Jesse Jackson. Jimmy Carter has been given a free ride from the liberal media, liberal historians, and even the American people, who excuse his political delinquencies and disasters on the grounds that he is a "good" man.
