Bestselling author and jihad expert Robert Spencer unveils the shocking truth behind the mainstream media's propaganda about the Arab Spring and shows how the Fort Hood attack, the Boston Marathon bombings, and other violent acts by Muslims in the United States are indeed fresh instances of the Arab Spring ideology coming to this country. Robert Spencer brings years of study on radical Islam to this shocking and insightful book. Arab Winter Comes to America is a powerful warning of the terror and tyranny to come.

Terrorism and radicalization came to the forefront of news and politics in the US after the unforgettable attacks of September 11th, 2001. When George W. Bush famously asked "Why do they hate us?," the President echoed the confusion, anger and fear felt by millions of Americans, while also creating a politicized discourse that has come to characterize and obscure discussions of both phenomena in the media.

As early as 2014, after the fall of Mosul, maps of ISIS showing a desire to take over South Asia started to appear on social media. But how far has that borne fruit? Or has it always been more of an ill-conceived chimera? One of the shortcomings of our understanding of ISIS in India-and indeed...

In 2011, many Syrians took to the streets of Damascus to demand the overthrow of the government of Bashar al-Assad. Today, much of Syria has become a war zone where foreign journalists find it almost impossible to report on life in this devastated land. Burning Country explores the horrific and complicated reality of life in present-day Syria with unprecedented detail and sophistication, drawing on new first hand testimonies from opposition fighters, exiles lost in an archipelago of refugee camps, and courageous human rights activists among many others.

Dieses Hörbuch ist kein Rezept gegen Krieg, aber es ist ein Schlüssel zum besseren Verstehen seiner Ursachen. Es liefert keine einfachen Antworten, aber es formuliert die richtigen Fragen. Und vielleicht ist das – im Sinne beider Autoren – bereits der wichtigste Schritt hin zu einer friedlicheren Welt: zu lernen, die Komplexität des Menschseins zu akzeptieren, den destruktiven Impulsen nicht nachzugeben, und den Glauben an das dialogische Potenzial der Menschheit nicht aufzugeben.

Israel's genocide in Palestine and the complicity of powerful Western states is undermining international human rights and the UN system. The United States has imposed sanctions on lawyers, UN experts, and Palestinian officials in an attempt to bully and intimidate them into silence. One prominent example is UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who has played an important role in documenting Israel's atrocities and those who profit from its oppression of Palestinians.

In this urgent book, Julie M. Norman and Maia Carter Hallward provide a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to Gaza's political history.

一九九一年の金学順さんの告発に衝撃をうけた著者は関係文書を丹念に収集分析し，九五年刊行の『従軍慰安婦』で「慰安婦制度」の主体が軍であったことを明らかにした．しかし「軍慰安婦」たちの苦難を否定する声は今も後を絶たない．

On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israelis awoke to a harrowing reality. Not only were hundreds of rockets being launched from Gaza into Israeli population centers, but the security border had also been breached by several thousand Hamas terrorists. Carnage, not seen since the Second World War, ensued. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. One that will have to ensure nothing less than Israel's survival.

Questo libro affronta le questioni più tragiche e attuali della politica internazionale, dal bombardamento di Gaza alla guerra tra Iran e Israele. Il primo capitolo ricostruisce il dibattito sul genocidio a Gaza. Il secondo capitolo espone la tesi dell'autore attraverso il «paradosso della violenza estrema», secondo cui il genocidio può avvenire anche senza spargimento di sangue. Il terzo capitolo analizza le decisioni politicamente più rilevanti di Giorgia Meloni verso Gaza nei giorni dello sterminio dei palestinesi.

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.

Professor Alan Dershowitz calls upon the Jewish people to rise up in order to prevent recurrences of past tragedies—to learn the lessons of tragic miscalculations, try hard to anticipate the future, and act to influence it in real time. To assure “never again,” he argues that Jews and their nation-state Israel must undertake preventative and preemptive measures and not rely only on reacting to dangers that are clear and present. Failure to see parallels to past disasters or to take preventive measures increases the likelihood of comparable horrors, currently or in the future.

American wars in Iraq were a defining feature of global politics for almost thirty years. The Gulf War of 1991, the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the campaign against the Islamic State beginning in 2014 each had their own logic. Each occurrence was a distinct conflict; however they must not only be considered in isolation. The United States spent the 1990s trying but failing to implement the Gulf War's cease fire agreement. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, American leaders decided to settle the open-ended aftermath of the Gulf War by launching the Iraq War of 2003.

Die SS – untrennbar ist dieses Kürzel mit der Ermordung der europäischen Juden verbunden, dem wohl größten Menschheitsverbrechen aller Zeiten. Überall auf der Welt stehen die beiden Buchstaben als Synonym für das Böse schlechthin. Doch wie genau wurde der „Schwarze Orden" zum Vollstrecker des nationalsozialistischen Rassenwahns? Auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung führt Bastian Hein in die Geschichte des Staatsschutzkorps des Dritten Reiches ein, beschreibt die Entstehung der Organisation, ihren Kult sowie die Auslese des Personals und schildert die von der SS verübten Verbrechen.

La ETA, una organización terrorista sin parangón en Europa, dejó un reguero de viudas, huérfanos, hermanos y amigas no solo desconsolados por unas muertes dramáticas, sino vilipendiados por una sociedad cruel, aterrorizada y, en muchos casos, cómplice que no supo o quiso mostrar el más elemental rasgo de piedad o empatía con unas víctimas cuyo único delito era su parentesco con quienes la organización terrorista había puesto en una diana antes de dispararles con un arma.

Miguel Jarque entró en la unidad en la segunda promoción (1979) y participó activamente en algunas de las misiones más transcendentales de su primera década de existencia.

In the early morning of April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh drove into downtown Oklahoma City in a rented Ryder truck containing a deadly fertilizer bomb that he and his army buddy Terry Nichols had made the previous day. He parked in a handicapped-parking zone, hopped out of the truck, and walked...
