August 1943. As World War II consumes much of the globe, Americans at home have no idea the extent of the horror their servicemen face. What they also don’t know is that Eleanor Roosevelt has boarded a military transport plane, heading to the Pacific theater on a mission to discover and report first hand accounts of the war. Anticipating familiar backlash from those who would prefer a prim and proper First Lady, as well as to help ensure her safety, Eleanor and the rest of the White House keep the journey a closely guarded secret.

Black Tulip locates the ambiguous truth about Erich Hartmann and so much of the German Wehrmacht in general: that many of these men were neither full-blown Nazis nor impeccable knights. They were complex, contradictory, and elusive. This book portrays a complex human rather than the heroic caricature we're used to, and it argues that the tidy, polished hero stories we've inherited about men like Hartmann say as much about those who've crafted them as they do about the heroes themselves.

Historien begynder på Korsika og slutter på Sankt Helena. Det er beretningen om den fattige korsikanske patriot, den passionerede kvindeelsker og ivrige brevskriver, der ville være forfatter eller videnskabsmand, men som i den franske revolutions virvar så sin chance og blev sin tids mægtigste kejser.

Dal 1618 al 1648 gli Stati dell'Europa centrale furono lacerati da una serie pressoché ininterrotta di violenti conflitti politici e religiosi. Innescata dall'antagonismo che contrapponeva i principi protestanti all'autorità imperiale cattolica, la guerra dei Trent'anni assunse dimensioni paneuropee anche a causa dell'intervento di altre potenze (Svezia, Francia, Spagna). Questo libro ricostruisce le cause, lo svolgimento, le conseguenze della grande crisi seicentesca, dalla Defenestrazione di Praga alla Pace di Westfalia.

American Methodism Revised and Updated begins with the explosion of evangelical Pietism and revolutionary Methodism, the First Great Awakening, as an independent nation was formed. It then highlights key nineteenth century themes and Methodist contributions, such as spreading scriptural holiness through missions and literature, planting tens of thousands of Sunday schools and churches by Circuit Riders, the pivotal Methodist schism between abolitionists and enslavers, the innovative building of schools and hospitals into the next century, and the revivalism of the Second Great Awakening.

In seinen Visionen erschaute er unter anderem einen Dritten Weltkrieg, der offenbar durch eine furchtbare Aggression des radikalen Islam (vielleicht im Bündnis mit anderen despotischen Mächten) gegen den Westen ausgelöst wird. Dass er ein begnadeter Seher war, bewies Alois Irlmaier in seinem dramatischen Leben vielfach. Während des zweiten Weltkrieges konnte er beispielsweise auf paranormale Weise erkennen, ob vermisste Soldaten noch lebten oder tot waren, und in der Nachkriegszeit löste Irlmaier dank seiner Gabe eine ganze Reihe von Kriminalfällen, bei denen die Polizei im Dunklen tappte.
