At the height of World War II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was home to 75,000 residents, consuming more electricity than New York City. But to most of the world, the town did not exist. Thousands of civilians - many of them young women from small towns across the South - were recruited to this secret city, enticed by solid wages and the promise of war-ending work. Kept very much in the dark, few would ever guess the true nature of the tasks they performed each day in the hulking factories in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.

The emperor Caligula was one of the strangest and cruelest rulers that ever lived, and most of what is known about his reign comes from Suetonius. The first six months of his reign appear to have been moderate and successful; but after that, he fell into a spiral of sadism, sexual perversity, and plain insanity that made him one of the most hated tyrants of all time.

Anthony Fokker: The Flying Dutchman Who Shaped American Aviation tells the larger-than-life true story of maverick pilot and aircraft manufacturer Anthony Fokker. Fokker came from an affluent Dutch family. Despite not receiving a traditional education, he stumbled his way into aviation as a young stunt pilot in Germany in 1910. He survived a series of spectacular crashes and rose to fame. A combination of industrial espionage, luck, and deception then propelled him to become Germany's leading WWI aircraft manufacturer. When the German Revolution swept the country, Fokker made a spectacular escape to the US.

Between 1796 and 1815, the continent of Europe was held in thrall by one of the most remarkable personalities of modern times, a man whose name was on the lips of every man, woman, and child: Napoleon Bonaparte. Certainly, one would have to go back to the time of Charlemagne to find his equal on the field of battle, in the halls of diplomacy, or in the courts of jurisprudence.

Story1
The Twelve Caesars was written based on the information of eyewitnesses and public records. It conveys a very accurate picture of court life in Rome and contains some of the raciest and most salacious material to be found in all of ancient literature. The writing is clear, simple and easy to understand, and the numerous anecdotes of juicy scandal, bitter court intrigue, and murderous brigandage easily hold their own against the most spirited content of today's tabloids.

He is the star of a hit Broadway musical, the face on the 10-dollar bill, and a central figure among the founding fathers. But do you really know Alexander Hamilton? Rather than lionize Hamilton, Americans should carefully consider his most significant and ultimately detrimental contribution to modern society: the shredding of the United States Constitution. Connecting the dots between Hamilton's invention of implied powers in 1791 to transgender bathrooms and same-sex marriage today, Brion McClanahan shows the origins of our modern federal leviathan.

The Three Graces of Val-Kill changes the way we think about Eleanor Roosevelt. Emily Wilson examines what she calls the most formative period in Roosevelt's life, from 1922 to 1936, when she cultivated an intimate friendship with Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, who helped her build a cottage on the Val-Kill Creek in Hyde Park on the Roosevelt family land. In the early years, the three women - the "three graces", as Franklin Delano Roosevelt called them - were nearly inseparable.

Very few British soldiers could lay claim to such a full war as Leslie Young. Having survived the retreat to and evacuation from Dunkirk, he volunteered for the newly formed commandos and took part in their first operation: the raid on the Lofoten Islands. He fought and was captured in Tunisia. He went on the run before his POW camp at Fontanellato was taken over by the Nazis after the September 1943 Italian armistice. He spent six months on the run in the Apennine mountains aided by brave and selfless Italians, many of whom were actively fighting their occupiers.

Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965), Sohn einer alten englischen Adelsfamilie, britischer Premier und Nobelpreisträger für Literatur, hat schon viele Historiker beschäftigt. Churchill, der sich bereits in den dreißiger Jahren zur stärksten politischen Persönlichkeit Englands entwickelte, wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg eine Art lebendiges Symbol des nationalen Widerstands und einer der großen Heroen der Anti-Hitler-Koalition. Seit 1946 gab er dank seines internationalen Ansehens wichtige Impulse zur Schaffung des Nordatlantik-Paktes und zur wirtschaftlichen und politischen Einigung Europas.

يروي ناظم الزهاوي في مذكراته «الفتى القادم من بغداد» مسيرة حياته منذ سنواته الأولى في العراق حتى مسيرته السياسية البريطانية. ينقسم الكتاب إلى ثلاثة أبواب كبرى، يعكس كل منها مرحلة مهمة من حياته: طفولته في بغداد، وانتقاله للعيش في المملكة المتحدة، وصعوده إلى الشهرة السياسية وخروجه النهائي من عالم السياسة. يروي الزهاوي كيف شهدت عائلته الاستبداد المتزايد في العراق، وقمع المعارضة، وتحول البلاد إلى دولة يسكنها الخوف. لذلك قررت عائلته الفرار إلى المملكة المتحدة حين كان الزهاوي في الحادية عشرة من عمره، خوفاً من الاضطهاد. يصف المؤلف تحديات التآلف مع اللغة والثقافة والنظام التعليمي البريطاني. وفي سنوات مراهقته، ترسخت اهتماماته بدنيا الأعمال. وقد وفَّر له نجاحه في مجال الأعمال الثقة والمنصة المناسبة لدخول عالم السياسة. وكانت البداية انتخابه نائباً عن حزب المحافظين، ثم تسلمه بضع حقائب وزارية في ضمنها وزارة التعليم ووزارة الخزانة.
