India’s prime ministers have taken decisions that changed the course of the country’s history. This book by Neerja Chowdhury, an award-winning journalist and political commentator, goes beyond the news headlines to provide an eye-opening account of how some of the most important political decisions in independent India were taken.

Margaret Thatcher was a woman of tremendous paradoxes: a conviction politician who was also a pragmatist; someone who delighted in her tough reputation, yet could also be emotional, and even tearful, when confronted by personal or national tragedy. Her reputation as a cabinet leader was one of being quasi-dictatorial, yet she left her ministers to get on with their jobs - far more than any of her successors ever have. She was known as a classical laissez faire liberal, yet she started out as a social conservative, and wasn't averse to state intervention when she felt it was warranted.

When The Accidental Prime Minister was published in 2014, it created a storm and became the publishing sensation of the year. The Prime Minister's Office called the book a work of 'fiction', the press hailed it as a revelatory account of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's first term in the...

È il maggio del 2012. Un uomo è solo in una stanza e sta scrivendo a una scrivania. Quella, però, non è una normale scrivania è un tavolo imbullonato al muro bianco. Quella stanza è la cella di una prigione. E quell'uomo non è come gli altri. Otto mesi prima ha colpito a Oslo e sull'isola di Utøya. Ha ucciso settantasette persone in nome di una sola fede: il nazismo. L'uomo verga veloce le ultime righe di una lettera. «Siamo le prime gocce della tempesta purificatrice che sta per abbattersi sull'Europa» scrive Anders Behring Breivik.

David Ben-Gurion was the primary national founder of the State of Israel as well as the state's first prime minister. Born in Płońsk, Poland, he immigrated to the Palestine region of the Ottoman Empire in 1906. Adopting the name of Ben-Gurion in 1909, he rose to become the preeminent leader of the Jewish community in British-ruled Mandatory Palestine from 1935 until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The following 1967 recording is a fascinating and spirited discussion by Ben-Gurion about the events that lead to the creation of the Jewish state of Israel.

Quando diciamo: "Prima gli italiani!" cosa intendiamo? Chi ha la cittadinanza italiana o chi in Italia ci abita? Chi parla italiano? Chi ha genitori italiani o chi in Italia ci è nato? E non è la prima volta che ci poniamo questa domanda: ha cominciato Dante con la ‘serva Italia’; poi d’Azeglio con gli ‘italiani da fare’; e ancora, i ‘santi, poeti e navigatori’; gli ‘italiani nuovi’ fascisti o ‘gli italiani brava gente’. Urliamo questo slogan in un paese dai confini incerti, diviso tra nord e sud, est e ovest, città e campagna.

Da sempre nell'immaginario collettivo, di grandi e bambini, il sindaco è il politico a cui si fa riferimento per tutto, quello chiamato a risolvere ogni problema della comunità in cui viviamo. Ormai sono passati 25 anni da quando, nel giugno 1993, fu istituita l'elezione diretta del sindaco, che da allora è il vero raccordo fra l'elettorato e il governo centrale, colui che cerca di mediare tra le forze opposte per il bene della sua città. Il proprio sindaco lo si ama o lo si odia, ma in ogni caso su di lui si può misurare concretamente la distanza fra le promesse e le cose fatte.

Lyndon Baines Johnson, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, Gordon Brown, Theresa May, and Donald Trump: each had different motivations, methods, and paths, but they all sought the highest office. And yet when they reached their goal, they often found that the power they had imagined was illusory. Their sweeping visions of reform faltered. They faced bureaucratic obstructions, but often the biggest obstruction was their own character. However, their personalities could help them as much as hurt them.
