Nel 1861 si forma il Regno d'Italia: dopo molti secoli di frammentazione statale la penisola è così riunita in un'unica compagine, i cui territori vengono completati nei dieci anni seguenti. È un evento rivoluzionario, vissuto in questi termini dai contemporanei, in Italia e fuori d'Italia. In questo libro l'autore analizza il lungo processo di formazione del movimento nazionale, dai primi slanci patriottici di fine Settecento alle organizzazioni insurrezionali, ai tentativi rivoluzionari della prima metà dell'Ottocento fino all'anno cruciale del regno.

Bringing with him the practical experience that comes from having owned a high-end gun store—catering largely to law enforcement—and as a competitive shooter and self-defense trainer, Correia blasts apart the emotion-laden, logic-free rhetoric of the gun-control fanatics who turn every "mass shooting" into a crazed call for violating your rights, abusing the Constitution—and doing absolutely nothing to really fight crime.

The culmination of years of work on Abraham Lincoln's political thought, Michael Zuckert's A Nation So Conceived argues for a coherent center to Lincoln's political ideology. Zuckert provides invaluable guidance to understanding both Lincoln and the politics of the United States between 1845 and Lincoln's death in 1865 by focusing on roughly a dozen speeches that Lincoln made during his career. This listener-friendly chronological organization is motivated by Zuckert's emphasis on Lincoln as a practical politician who was always fully aware of the political context of the moment.

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.
