August 2021. The Taliban invaded Kabul. The British Government was Missing in Action. The evacuation was disastrous, shambolic and deadly.

He was branded a villain who valued “pets over people”, blamed for deserting Afghans, accused of risking British soldiers—nothing could be further from the truth.

La prima è stata Margaret Thatcher. Eletta a capo del governo britannico nel 1979, guidò il paese per dieci anni, portandolo attraverso una crisi economica e una guerra contro l’Argentina, interpretando il suo ruolo con il piglio autoritario che le valse l’appellativo di “Lady di ferro”. Fu il primo tentativo di rompere quel “tetto di cristallo” che nei paesi occidentali sembrava imprigionare le velleità di leadership femminili, relegando le donne in politica a incarichi minori, o alla funzione ancillare di First Lady.

Atatürk'ü en doğru ve en yalın biçimde herkese anlatabilecek tek kitap: Dersimiz: Atatürk. Tarih, savaşlarda düşmana galip gelen büyük komutanlarla dolu. Tarihte milletlerini daha ileriye götürmek için çalışan birçok önemli önder var. Ama hiçbiri Atatürk gibi anılmıyor, özlenmiyor. Tarih sayfalarında uyuyorlar. Çünkü aralarında Atatürk gibi hem vatanını düşmanlardan temizleyip yeni bir devlet kuran, hem milletini sömürüden, hurafelerden, ortaçağlılıktan kurtarıp çağdaş uygarlığa kavuşturan biri yok.

When Nusrit Mehtab joined the Met Police in the late 80s the organisation was rife with racism and misogyny. Officers refused to patrol with her, or even call her by her name. Her attempts to get promoted were met with hostility and ridicule and she was subject to cruel pranks. As the years passed and her seniority grew, Nusrit was dismayed to find that these problems got worse, not better. After 30 years, she finally had enough and left the MET, initiating an employment tribunal against them in the process.

Dopo il successo di Putin e Ucraina, Nicolai Lilin ci racconta l'enigma Rasputin, una delle figure più affascinanti, controverse e misteriose della storia russa. Rasputin è stato tante cose: un mistico rozzo ma con grande seguito, un guaritore, un seduttore, un visionario dai tratti profetici, un manipolatore di anime morte, per dirla con Gogol, un abile e furbo stratega. Un "impostore" dalla vita piena di contraddizioni, un arrampicatore sociale, un genio che sapeva parlare al cuore delle persone semplici e non solo. Aveva ai suoi piedi la dinastia dei Romanov.

A Revolutionary Friendship captures the dramatic, challenging, and poignant reality that there was no single founding ideal-only compromise between friends and sometime rivals.
