Il podcast Sigonella 85 ripercorre le 51 ore drammatiche del dirottamento dell’Achille Lauro, “la nave più bella del mondo“, per poi concentrarsi su ciò che è avvenuto a Sigonella: il primo no detto da un Governo Italiano agli Americani, un rifiuto che ha scatenato la più profonda crisi Italia-USA mai verificatasi dal Dopoguerra, e che ha messo in discussione gli equilibri di tutto il mondo. Un contrasto diplomatico che ha rischiato di trasformarsi in uno scontro militare. Eppure, a sentire chi, quella sera, era presenta a Sigonella, le cose non sarebbero andate così come ci sono sempre state raccontate.

Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

Dieses Hörspiel ist eine sorgfältig recherchierte und umfassende Tatsachensammlung zum Ukraine-Krieg. Mit eigenen Vermutungen hält sich der Autor zurück. Die blossen Vorgänge sind dramatisch genug. Wie ist der Konflikt historisch entstanden? Mit welchen Weichenstellungen wurde auf den Krieg hingesteuert? Um was geht es wirklich? Wie haben die Ukraine, die USA, die NATO und Russland die Eskalations-Spirale angetrieben? Es geht nicht darum, wer "gut" oder "böse" ist, wer "gewinnt" oder "verliert". Es geht darum, die Zusammenhänge zu verstehen.

American wars in Iraq were a defining feature of global politics for almost thirty years. The Gulf War of 1991, the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the campaign against the Islamic State beginning in 2014 each had their own logic. Each occurrence was a distinct conflict; however they must not only be considered in isolation. The United States spent the 1990s trying but failing to implement the Gulf War's cease fire agreement. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, American leaders decided to settle the open-ended aftermath of the Gulf War by launching the Iraq War of 2003.

Il libro è suddiviso in tre parti.

Carl von Clausewitz (1780–1831) gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Militärtheoretiker der Geschichte. In Vom Kriege, seinem Hauptwerk, formuliert er Grundgedanken, die bis heute internationale Strategiediskussionen prägen – auch weit über das Militärische hinaus. Das erste Kapitel enthält die bekannteste seiner Thesen: dass der Krieg lediglich eine "Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln" sei.

One of three volumes responding to the 7 October attack, Law and Society begins with a legal and a genocide studies critique of the claim that Israel is genocidal; another reflects on the absence of an understanding of antisemitism in international legal discourse. There are reflections on experiences in the Palestine solidarity movement and on the twists that discourse there takes. Contributions draw on Judaism, feminism, and sociology to face what happened and to trace how Israelis were transported back to a quintessentially pre-Israel Jewish experience.

In this urgent book, Julie M. Norman and Maia Carter Hallward provide a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to Gaza's political history. Combining a nuanced narrative with hard-hitting reflections from everyday Gazans, the book tells the dynamic story of how Gaza became an epicenter of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a pivotal hot-spot in the region.

Zusammen mit seinem Regiment überfiel Pawel Filatjew die Ukraine. Dann entschloss er sich, nicht mehr mitzumachen – und der Welt die dreckige Wahrheit über den Wahnsinn dieses Krieges zu erzählen. Am 24. Februar 2022 um vier Uhr morgens marschierte der russische Fallschirmjäger Pawel Filatjew mit seinem Regiment in die Ukraine ein. Er war am Angriff auf Cherson beteiligt, saß in den Schützengräben um Nikolajew. Nach zwei Monaten an der Front wurde er verwundet; im Lazarett beschloss er, aufzuschreiben, was er gesehen und erlebt hatte: Verwüstung, Leichen, ratlose, verängstigte Befehlshaber, marodierende Truppen und Plünderer.

Mike Thexton was held at the front of the plane for 12 hours, waiting to be shot. When the ground power unit failed and the plane became dark, the terrorists put him back with the others, before opening fire indiscriminately. At least 20 people died and over a hundred were injured, but Mike escaped by jumping off the wing of the plane and running away, sure that he would wake up and find himself still kneeling by the front door.

Sono italiani due volte i trecentomila che in un lungo esodo durato oltre vent'anni dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale lasciarono l'Istria, Fiume e Zara. Erano nati italiani e scelsero di rimanere tali quando il trattato di pace del 10 febbraio 1947 assegnò quelle regioni alla Jugoslavia comunista del maresciallo Tito.

இந்தப் புத்தகத்தில் எந்த இனப்படுகொலைக்கும் யார் மீது தவறோ அல்லது வக்காளத்தோ வாங்கவில்லை. விவாதிக்கப்படாமல், கவனம் செலுத்தாமல்.... ஏன் பலருக்கு தெரியாமல் எத்தனையோ இன ஒழிப்பு சம்பவங்கள் உலகில் நடந்திருக்கிறது. அதை முடிந்தளவு எந்த சார்பில்லாமல் சொல்லியிருக்கிறேன்.

Jews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust, yet the world did not recognize their destruction equally. In the years and decades following the war, the Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts, scholars, educators, curators, and politicians, while the genocide of Europe's Roma went largely ignored. Rain of Ash is the untold story of how Roma turned to Jewish institutions, funding sources, and professional networks as they sought to gain recognition and compensation for their wartime suffering.
