Story0
In the early days of the Cold War, the United States faced a crisis in intelligence analysis. A series of intelligence failures in 1949 and 1950, including the failure to warn about the North Korean invasion of South Korea, made it clear that gut instinct and traditional practices were no longer sufficient for intelligence analysis in the nuclear age. The new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Walter Bedell Smith, had a mandate to reform it.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has emerged on Heisenberg’s role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In Beyond Uncertainty, Cassidy interprets this and other previously unknown material within the context of his vast research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist’s personal responsibility and guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime.

Story0
In post-war Europe, protest was everywhere. On both sides of the Iron Curtain, from Paris to Prague, Milan to Wroclaw, ordinary people took to the streets, fighting for a better world. Their efforts came to a head most dramatically in 1968 and 1989, when mass movements swept Europe and rewrote its history. In the decades between, Joachim C. Häberlen argues, new movements emerged that transformed the nature of protesting.

What happens when a father asks his son to lie for the greater good? Growing up, Scott C. Johnson always suspected that his father was different. Only as a teenager did he discover the truth: his father was a spy, one of the CIA’s most trusted officers. At first the secret was thrilling. But over time, Scott began to have doubts. How could a man so rigorously trained to deceive and manipulate simply turn off those skills at home? His father had been living a double life for so long that his lies were hard to separate from the truth.

On April Fourth, 1945, United States Army units from the 89th Infantry Division and the Fourth Armored Division seized Ohrdruf, the first of many Nazi concentration camps to be liberated in Germany. In the weeks that followed, as more camps were discovered, thousands of soldiers came face to face with the monstrous reality of Hitler's Germany. These men discovered the very depths of human-imposed cruelty and depravity.

By the end of World War I, Albert Einstein had become the face of the new science of theoretical physics and had made some powerful enemies. One of those enemies, Nobel Prize winner Philipp Lenard, spent a career trying to discredit him. Their story of conflict, pitting Germany's most widely celebrated Jew against the Nazi scientist who was to become Hitler's chief advisor on physics, had an impact far exceeding what the scientific community felt at the time.

In the tradition of great tales of men against the sea, this story offers a compelling look at courage and commitment in the face of certain tragedy. It is a powerful blend of human drama and real-life naval operations, but unlike most books in the genre, its heroes are airmen not seamen, and most survived their ordeal. Published on the twentieth-fifth anniversary of Alfa Foxtrot 586's fatal mission as a tribute to those lost, the account was written by a naval aviator who has flown the same aircraft on the same mission from the same air base.

Månen har inspireret til både grufulde, sjove, romantiske og fantasifulde fortællinger. Rumkapløbet mellem USA og Sovjetunionen gav forskerne ny viden om Månen; men den første bemandede månelanding i 1969 har også givet anledning til mange konspirationsteorier. Danmarks førende astrofysiker, Anja C. Andersen, fortæller hele den spændende historie om Jordens nærmeste nabo i rummet: kendsgerninger, myter, fup og fakta.

Il lager nazista è l'emblema più tragico del secolo appena finito; l'esperienza che più costringe noi contemporanei, e soprattutto noi europei, a riflettere sugli aspetti bui della condizione umana, sul male e le sue radici. In questa conversazione - terminata pochi mesi prima della morte di Levi - Ferdinando Camon e l'autore di Se questo è un uomo affrontano l'argomento in tutta la sua vastità, ciascuno alla luce delle proprie convinzioni e della propria formazione.

Wohl nie waren so viele berühmte Schriftsteller und Reporterinnen aus aller Welt unter einem Dach versammelt wie in Nürnberg 1946. Sie kamen, um zu berichten – von den Gräueln des Krieges und des Holocaust, die dort vor Gericht verhandelt wurden. Sie wohnten und schrieben auf Schloss Faber-Castell, diskutierten, tanzten, verzweifelten, tranken. Uwe Neumahr erzählt ihre Geschichte in seinem aufregenden und bewegenden Buch. Erich Kästner war in Nürnberg und Erika Mann, John Dos Passos und Martha Gellhorn. Augusto Roa Bastos kam aus Paraguay, Xiao Qian aus China.
