How did communism become such a pervasive economic and political philosophy? Why did it first take root in early 20th-century Russia? These and other questions are part of a fascinating story whose drama has few equals in terms of sheer scale, scope, or human suffering and belief. These 12 lectures invite you to go inside communism’s journey from a collection of political and economic theories to a revolutionary movement that rocked the world.

This magnificent biography of Henry VIII is set against the cultural, social and political background of his court - the most spectacular court ever seen in England - and the splendour of his many sumptuous palaces. An entertaining narrative packed with colourful description and a wealth of anecdotal evidence, but also a comprehensive analytical study of the development of both monarch and court during a crucial period in English history.

Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the West and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the repercussions of European colonialism in Africa remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.

Nothing offends liberals more than Western imperialism—it is racism, sexism, and chauvinism all in one. And of course the epitome of Western imperialism is the British Empire, covering at its height a quarter of the globe’s surface and ruling a quarter of the world’s population. Here, best-selling author H. W. Crocker III exposes how the British Empire was actually one of the greatest establishers and defenders of freedom in history.

Zerstört, geteilt, geeint, zwischen Taumel und Triumph: Die Geschichte Europas wie Timothy Garton Ash sie erlebt hat – als Historiker, Kommentator und Zeitzeuge. Timothy Garton Ash ist leidenschaftlicher Europäer. Schon vor 1989 wollte er sich nicht mit der Teilung des Kontinents abfinden, bis zuletzt kämpfte er gegen den Brexit.

The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

At the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, where the victorious Allied powers met to reenvision the map of Europe in the aftermath of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson's influence on the remapping of borders was profound. But despite his deep involvement in the region's geopolitical transformation, President Wilson never set eyes on Eastern Europe, and never traveled to a single one of the eastern lands whose political destiny he so decisively influenced.

Seit 2020 werden wir aus einem fatalen Nickerchen wachgerüttelt. Zu gemütlich hatten wir es uns während der letzten 50 Jahre in Selbstverständlichkeiten gemacht, die die Krisenherde unserer Welt ausblendeten. Indset argumentiert für eine Neu- und Wiederentdeckung des Denkens. Eines Denkens, das unsere Grundhaltungen hinterfragt und Veränderungen nicht nur zulässt, sondern begrüßt. Wir müssen uns öffnen für Paradoxien, für Gleichzeitigkeiten und das Unbekannte - um Wirkkräfte rechtzeitig zu erkennen und entsprechend zu handeln.

Bei dem vorliegenden Hörbuch handelt es sich um die Aufnahme einer Lesung von gesammelten Texten, die vor ca. 20 Jahren entstanden sind und nun der Öffentlichkeit erneut unbearbeitet präsentiert werden.

Suhrkamp, obschon seit 1999 zur Verbreitung vertraglich verpflichtet, zog es vor, sich darauf zu konzentrieren, dieses Werk der deutschen Öffentlichkeit vorzuenthalten.

Drawing on half a century of interviews and experience, Homelands tells the story of Europe in the later twentieth and early twenty-first centuries - how, having emerged from its wartime hell in 1945, it slowly recovered and rebuilt, liberated and united to come close to the ideal of a Europe 'whole, free and at peace'. And then faltered.

In 10 lectures, award-winning historian Patrick N. Allitt transports listeners to England in the 1840s and 1850s. During those two decades, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, became one of the most influential people in the country and remains a figure of fascination even today. In fact, the British royal family as we know it wouldn't exist without the private and public actions of this detached, impartial, and upright political figure.

In the days between May 24th and 28th, 1940, the British War Cabinet held a historical debate over whether to negotiate with Hitler or to continue the war. In this magisterial work, John Lukacs demonstrates the decisive importance of those five days. Lukacs takes us hour by hour into the critical unfolding of events at 10 Downing Street, where Churchill, who had only been prime minister for a fortnight, painfully considered his war responsibilities.

The rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was much more than an ordinary electoral phenomenon: it brought to the fore two contrasting views of nationhood: between those who saw modern India in terms of secular republicanism and on the other hand were those who sought to blend technological...
