La otra historia de México: Hidalgo e Iturbide, es la otra historia de México, donde sus héroes y heroínas no son de bronce o mármol, sino hombres y mujeres sujetos a la grandeza y las miserias de la condición humana. Es aquella que nos permite replantearnos quien es el verdadero Padre de la Patria y cuestionar el papel de los llamados villanos y traidores que señalan los libros de texto.

Ésta es la historia de un hombre, no la de un héroe de cartón. Por vez primera se novela íntegra la vida de Emiliano Zapata y se le presenta al escucha el complejo caleidoscopio de sus hazañas, sus dudas, sus batallas. Zapata es una novela histórica de impecable factura en la que valiéndose de la estructura y la noción de verdad y de historia del corrido mexicano, Pedro Ángel Palou se encara con una de las figuras centrales de la historia de México. De esa lucha entre el narrador y el jefe del ejército libertador del sur emergen capítulos cortados a machete y otros más con cincel, como tallados en la dura piedra de los montes de Morelos.

From 1845 to 1865 the Gulf of Mexico was at the center of American expansion and southern imperialism. A Continuous State of War tells the story of several communities as well as countries such as Mexico and Cuba, to uncover the way that wars within the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico facilitated American and southern attempts to conquer Latin American nations. In the push for westward expansion that preceded the Civil War, white southerners along with other Americans engaged in violent conquest in Latin America and the American West.

No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. The Nazis plotted to kill the city's Jews and to sabotage the nation's military installations: plans existed for hanging 20 prominent Hollywood figures such as Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Samuel Goldwyn; for driving through Boyle Heights and machine-gunning as many Jews as possible; and for blowing up defense installations and seizing munitions from National Guard armories along the Pacific Coast.

Cosa ha provato varcando i cancelli del lager? Ha mai pensato di essere sbagliata? Si poteva essere amici in un campo di sterminio? Ha sentito di aver perduto l'infanzia? Come ha ritrovato la forza di avere fiducia negli esseri umani? Ha trovato una risposta a tutto questo male? Come fermare oggi odio e razzismo? Sono centinaia le domande arrivate dagli studenti di tutta Italia attraverso Repubblica@Scuola e che abbiamo girato ai sopravvissuti oggi ottantenni e novantenni per il progetto Gli ultimi testimoni, la Shoah raccontata ai ragazzi.

¿Por qué se creían los bolcheviques con derecho a imponer a todos su idea de sociedad y a asesinar a los que la rechazaban y incluso a los que no llegaban a hacerlo? Esta es la gran cuestión del siglo que el mundo lleva a cuestas desde que Lenin tomó el poder: ¿por qué los comunistas se creen legitimados para robar y matar en nombre de una utopía que apenas esconde su afán de poder ilimitado?

La figura di Josef Mengele è una delle più inquietanti tra quelle dei protagonisti della follia nazista. Il suo nome infatti è tristemente celebre per il suo ruolo all'interno del campo di sterminio di Auschwitz, in cui Mengele lavorò per 21 mesi come medico. Per tutto quel periodo Mengele, soprannominato ben presto "l'Angelo della Morte", trasformò l'ospedale di Auschwitz in una clinica degli orrori seviziando le vittime del campo con esperimenti disumani e terrificanti, torturando bambini, nani, rom e, soprattutto, i gemelli, la vera ossessione del folle dottore nazista.

Even enemies will agree that the United States is a unique nation, in that its culture has been developed almost entirely by immigrants—people who have come to the country from other places and carved their way into society. Sometimes called a melting pot, sometimes a tossed salad, the nation has been shaped by all that is good and bad of the people who live here. Sadly, history has taught that where there is immigration, there will always be conflict.

Mengele describes the international search for the Nazi doctor in 1985 that ended in a cemetery in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the dogged forensic investigation that produced overwhelming evidence that Mengele had died - but failed to convince those who, arguably, most wanted him dead. This is the riveting story of science without limits, escape without freedom, and resolution without justice.

Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg was among the most sought-after gynecologists in pre-World War II Germany. The creator of the first IUD, known as the Gräfenberg ring, he was posthumously credited with identifying the eponymous "Gräfenberg spot" or G-spot. He was also a Jew in Nazi Germany, and by 1938 he had been stripped of his practice, his possessions, and his freedom and was languishing in a Nazi prison.

Only once in a lifetime does a war so brutal erupt. A war that becomes an official genocide, causes millions to run from their homes, compels the slaughtering of thousands in the most horrific of ways, and inspires terrorist attacks to transpire across the world. That is the chilling legacy of the ISIS onslaught, and Only Cry for the Living takes a profoundly personal, unprecedented dive into one of the most brutal terrorist organizations in the world.

En 1906 se lanzó el primer U-1, y en 1917, la Armada Imperial alemana ya contaba con 128 submarinos. Durante los últimos meses de la Primera Guerra Mundial, el éxito de los U-Boots parecía imparable hasta que se incorporó el avión como arma antisubmarina. Tras el tratado de Versalles, el mando alemán emprendió en secreto el rearme de sus ejércitos, proceso que se aceleró con el ascenso de Hitler al poder.
