Il fascismo pretese di erigere un nuovo Stato, ma riutilizzò abbondantemente in chiave fascista elementi e residui dello Stato liberale. Autoritario e dittatoriale, concentrò il potere pubblico, ma accettò anche la sua pluralizzazione. Eliminò libere elezioni, creò un surrogato della rappresentanza politica, si valse di organizzazioni satelliti, ma ricorse ad amministrazioni parallele per gestire la crisi economica.

In this book: “Michael the Brave, the Ottoman Wars, and Count Dracula”— In this overview of the Ottoman Wars in Romania and the career of Wallachian prince Michael the Brave (1558-1601), it is argued that Michael the Brave, and not his earlier relative Vlad Țepeș, was the true lifetime alter ego of Bram Stoker's Count Dracula. “In Search of A.C. Cuza”— A biographical essay about a Romanian law professor and politician, dealing with his intellectual antecedents and his influence on his younger protégé, Romanian militia leader Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. "Moldavian Ukraine" — A...

Tras la brutalidad de la Revolución, los sobrevivientes necesitaban una esperanza y el nacionalismo se la dio. Pero a un costo altísimo: muerte y mentira.

Edición definitiva del libro con la confesión de Jorge Rafael Videla sobre los desaparecidos en la Argentina durante la dictadura de 1976-1983, resultado de más de veinte horas de entrevista cara a cara en la cárcel, un año antes de su muerte.

Ein unbekanntes Stück Zeitgeschichte - so packend wie ein Agententhriller. Die frühen Jahre des Kalten Krieges in Berlin: Olga Raue spioniert für die CIA - zuerst in der DDR, später in Moskau. Eine Freundin verrät sie und Olga wird inhaftiert. Sechs Jahre später kauft die Bundesrepublik sie frei. Olga schweigt über ihre Mission - mehr als 50 Jahre lang. Erst als der Politikwissenschaftler Stefan Appelius auf den "Spionagering Raue" stößt, beginnt sie zu erzählen. Olga Raues bewegtes Leben - zwischen Verführung, Verrat und der ständigen Angst, entdeckt zu werden.

Acht Monate lang tauchte Tobias Ginsburg inkognito in die Szene der "Reichsbürger" und rechten Verschwörungstheoretiker ein. Er baute sich eine Scheinidentität im Netz auf und bewegte sich unter AfD-Politikern, gewaltbereiten Neonazis und friedensbewegten Esoterikern in Braun, Sektierern und Systemumstürzlern. Sein Buch ist ein ebenso erschütternder wie komischer Streifzug durch eine Welt böser Verführer und verführter Irregeleiteter, das zugleich einen neuen, literarischen Ton in die investigative Reportage einführt.

It began with an armchair. It began with the surprise discovery of a stash of personal documents covered in swastikas sewn into its cushion. The SS Officer’s Armchair is the story of what happened next, as Daniel Lee follows the trail of cold calls, documents, coincidences and family secrets, to uncover the life of one Dr Robert Griesinger from Stuttgart. Who was he? What had his life been - and how had it ended?

This was the question George Lucas asked when he started writing the Star Wars prequel trilogy in the mid-90s. In this audiobook, Konspiracy Kyle chronicles the authoritarian tactics and traits used by Palpatine in the prequels as he rose from senator to chancellor to emperor - these machinations are compared to the methods used by totalitarian leaders and authoritarian psychopaths in our world (spoiler alert: they are very similar).

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I.

Згадуючи війну в Іспанії - нарис про громадянську війну між іспанськими лівими і фашистами, в якому Орвелл попереджає про небезпеку тоталітаризму, який з'являється і утверджується багато в чому завдяки маніпуляціям і пропаганді ЗМІ а також боягузству та угодовництву лібералів. Це пристрасний антивоєнний, гуманістичний заклик письменника, що містить ідеї, які він розвинув в культових художніх творах: 1984 і Колгосп тварин.

El libro de la premio Nobel de la paz, la periodista que puso en jaque a una dictadura. "Por su esfuerzo por salvaguardar la libertad de expresión como condición imprescindible para la democracia y la paz duradera." Con esas palabras reconocía la Academia sueca la labor y el esfuerzo de Maria Ressa. Este libro es el mejor resumen de su trayectoria y de los principios éticos que rigen su pensamiento y su labor como periodista.

Il 10 giugno 1940 Benito Mussolini annuncia l'entrata in guerra dell'Italia contro la Francia e la Gran Bretagna, al fianco della Germania nazista che allora appariva vittoriosa. Si apre così una fase decisiva della nostra storia, che però non ha trovato molto spazio nella coscienza nazionale. Non si ricordano volentieri le aggressioni a danno di altri popoli, le sconfitte a volte umilianti, i lutti e le sofferenze. Eppure è proprio tra il 1940 e il 1943 che si consuma il fallimento del regime fascista, premessa necessaria per la rinascita dell'Italia all'insegna della democrazia.

This is the incredible tale of Operation Fifth Column, a Second World War MI5 operation so secret that its existence was revealed by the National Archives for the first time only in 2014. Throughout the war and even for a couple of years afterwards, 'Agent Jack' - in reality, a bank clerk named Eric Roberts - acted as a Gestapo agent to whom hundreds of British-based Nazi sympathisers and informers passed their secrets, thinking that he was sending them back to Germany.

El protagonismo de la mentira en los fascismos del pasado y en los populismos de derecha del presente analizado detalladamente y en perspectiva histórica en tiempos de la "post verdad".

In a tour de force of investigative journalism and novelistic storytelling, White Terror follows the National Socialist Underground, or NSU, from their radicalisation as young skinheads through their transformation into fully fledged terrorists carrying out bombings and assassinations while living on the run. But it’s also about something almost as terrifying: the German police and intelligence services that missed clues, mishandled far-right informants and repeatedly tried to paint the immigrant victims as mafiosos.

¿Sabía que la Alemania nazi fue pionera en legislar en favor del ecologismo y los derechos de los animales?, ¿o que su origen está estrechamente vinculado a las vanguardias artísticas?, ¿que el British Union of Fascists fue el primer partido británico que tuvo un 10% de militancia femenina? ¿Y que trató de aunar las reivindicaciones sociales con la Tercera Posición? En torno al término fascismo se han alimentado las más variadas opiniones y definiciones por lo que siempre es objeto de debate en las ciencias políticas pero, ¿realmente sabemos lo que es?

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I. As an evil dictator during World War II, he greatly overextended his forces and was eventually killed by his own people in Mezzegra, Italy.

In 1942, in its rush to assemble a force of seven million to take on the Axis powers, the Army discovered it had inducted some iffy patriots. Unsure of what to do with them, the Army put them all into a misfit company: the 620th Engineer General Service Company. Seething, they considered disobedience, desertion, and, ultimately, a plan to sabotage the war effort. That’s when Dale Maple and two German POWs deserted. Their plans: get to Germany and persuade the government to supply money and materials for guerilla war on US soil. That’s when their fates took an only-in-America turn.

From Trump’s America to Putin’s Russia, and from Poland to the Philippines, rapid change and rising inequality have fueled a retreat into tribalist nationalism fed by a fear of being left behind. Populist leaders tap into this fear, with empty promises of looking out for the little guy and promising a return to national greatness. This is happening in countries across the globe and the political spectrum. Political scientists Drache and Froese have turned original research into a compelling analysis of the rise of populism and reveal what it will take to douse the flames.

La obra fundamental sobre el origen, expansión y caída del movimiento fascista en el siglo XX. El atractivo estético del fascismo italiano llegó a asimilarlo a las vanguardias de principios del siglo XX. Como todo nacionalismo, fue vivido por sus seguidores como una religión secular, procedente del socialismo izquierdista pero a la vez con claros antecedentes derechistas. El estudio del fascismo, de su estética, de su lenguaje, de su poder de sugestión, no ha perdido actualidad y sigue atrayendo el interés de numerosos historiadores.
