Story
“Faced with the political disaster, I had to become France.” This was how Charles de Gaulle answered the call of history. One of the few French battlefield leaders to have distinguished himself in May 1940, he had become the undersecretary of state for national defense. But when the government rejected his calls to fight on and prepared to capitulate to Hitler, he escaped to London. There he instigated a resistance calling on “all the French who want to remain free to listen to me and follow me” in the legendary radio address of June 22.

A tutt’oggi Hitler e il suo carisma sono circondati da un fascino perverso. In questa nuova biografia politica, Hans-Ulrich Thamer riassume in modo pregnante lo stato della ricerca concentrandosi in particolare sul rapporto tra messinscena e potere, e tra consenso e violenza. L’autore – tra i maggiori esperti del nazionalsocialismo – mostra in modo chiaro e comprensibile come Hitler abbia reagito abilmente alle aspettative della società tedesca facendo diventare il culto del Führer la base stessa della sua politica.

Story
I'm Just a Supply Sgt. is a compelling narrative of the Vietnam War with a very personal, psychological perspective that is difficult to find in most histories. Don Stout's ability to comprehend and record his feelings during the war, and his struggles after the war, provide not only a window into the suffering of many veterans but also a tool for catharsis for those afflicted with PTSD. Without a doubt, Don's story provides one of the most unique perspectives on the war and is not only a history of his service but a psychological epic.

Story
Lew Wallace, a fascinating and multitalented historical figure, has consistently been overlooked and lost in academia, articles, and modern books. When he has been discussed, he has often been misrepresented and misunderstood. This is partly due to the sordid and profoundly controversial period in the United States during his lifetime. Yet, Lew wrote one of the most successful and influential novels of the 19th Century. The story he created, and the high-profile controversies he was intimately involved in, have lived on in numerous movies and television programs.
