Su obra no es solo la síntesis de una nueva generación de investigaciones académicas —la mayoría sin traducir y desconocida fuera de Alemania—, sino que además saca a la luz sorprendentes revelaciones sobre el funcionamiento y el alcance del sistema de los campos de concentración, descubiertas tras años de estudio en los archivos.

Growing up in Baltimore, I walked the same streets where Confederate sympathizers had once plotted against the Union my Irish ancestors died defending. But I had no idea of this family legacy—or of the complex, often violent political history that had shaped my hometown long before I was born. The irony runs deeper than I initially realized. My father was a Baltimore native, born and raised in a city that had harbored Confederate sympathies during the Civil War. My mother came from Providence, Rhode Island, descended from Irish immigrants who had sacrificed everything for the Union cause....

Es wird gezeigt, dass sowohl der Nationalsozialismus als auch der Kommunismus lediglich zwei Masken desselben Gesichts des dunklen Okkultismus sind, und ihre Gemeinsamkeiten in Denkweise sowie autoritären Kontrollmethoden werden beleuchtet. Darüber hinaus wird erläutert, in welcher Form diese heimtückischen okkulten Strömungen auch heute noch existieren, aktiv sind und eine ernsthafte Bedrohung für die Freiheit darstellen.

Most of the great military campaigns and breakthroughs of World War II would not have been successful without the efforts of teams of people working unsung and undercover. The codebreakers of Bletchley Park cracked codes that allowed for the interception and exploitation of German intelligence but many took the secret of their wartime activities to the grave. Others put their lives on the line to gather information for their countries, infiltrating other nations' secrets at great personal risk.

In the secretive world of World War II espionage, where deception could save lives and a whisper could move armies, one of the most incredible operations ever devised involved a corpse, a briefcase, and a story too bizarre to be fiction. Operation Mincemeat tells the true tale of how British intelligence pulled off a daring trick that convinced Adolf Hitler to send his troops in the wrong direction—by using a dead man carrying false documents.

In a contemporary world blighted by conflicts and contradictory narratives tailored to sanitize or demonize the participating countries, we need a deep but concise understanding of the essence of the belligerent parties so as to make good judgements, appropriate condemnations, or carry out justified actions. It is along those lines that the writer is taking us on a vivid journey through the seven centuries of Polish history that defined the character of the nation, forged its identity, and established its relations with its neighbors in a manner that greatly determines its foreign and ...

In this book we reveal a great many hidden secrets…..for instance: How Bormann built hundreds of businesses after the war. The real story of Rudolf Hess. Hitler’s death – fact or fantasy? Why were there so many Adolf Hitlers? German genocide – by Ike! Missing gold? What happened to ‘Die Glocke’ (the Nazi Bell)? South American spies. There is much more in this book and even we are amazed at what we have found. As we have learned, the 3rd Reich did not die on 8 May 1945 – it merely moved to South America.

О нечеловеческих условиях, в которых ей приходилось существовать, голоде и жестокости.

In Fear No Pharaoh, journalist and historian Richard Kreitner sets this question at the heart of the Civil War era. Using original sources, he tells the intertwined stories of six American Jews who helped to shape a tumultuous time, including Judah Benjamin, the brilliant, secretive lawyer who became Jefferson Davis's trusted confidante; Morris Raphall, a Swedish-born rabbi who defended slavery as biblically justified; and Raphall's rival rabbis—the celebrated Isaac Mayer Wise, who urged Jews to stay out of the slavery controversy, and David Einhorn.
