De héroe a villano: Los 30 años de lucha contra la banda armada del comisario Enrique Pamies, "Lleida", que trabajó a las órdenes del PSOE y del PP. "La lucha antiterrorista supone andar descalzo por un filo que corta. En un lado está la legalidad y en el otro la ilegalidad. Para poder avanzar, unas veces hay que apoyar el pie en uno de los lados y otras en el otro. Es mentira que solo con el Estado de derecho se acaba con el terrorismo. Quien diga lo contrario falta a la verdad o no sabe de lo que habla."

 El castillo de Eppstein, una novela escrita en el más puro estilo gótico que hacía furor en el siglo xix con sus imprescindibles dosis de secretos familiares, maquiavélicos villanos, doncellas en peligro, amores apasionados y espectros vengadores.

Alla fine degli anni Sessanta, Italia, Francia, Germania occidentale e Gran Bretagna – Paesi già colpiti dal terrorismo interno – si trovarono a far fronte a una nuova minaccia: le organizzazioni armate, nate in Medio Oriente, che internazionalizzarono la propria lotta, esportando il terrorismo in Europa. Raggiunsero il loro obiettivo? Generarono il caos internazionale? O invece i Paesi europei riuscirono, almeno temporaneamente, a disarmare i terroristi, includendoli nel sistema delle relazioni internazionali?

When Camille Deming isn’t cooking, cleaning, or homesteading in her picture-perfect country farmhouse, she’s posting about her tradwife lifestyle for her online followers. She takes inspiration from other tradwives on social media, aspiring to be like them, but Camille’s missing a key component: a baby. And contrary to what she posts online, things with her husband, Graham, have been strained. Pressured by her eager followers, Camille fears that without a baby, her relationship will suffer and her social media will never grow out of its infancy.

In the early 1980s, a series of quiet, targeted killings spread through a criminal underworld. The dead were not innocent. There were men already living outside the law, and their disappearances passed largely unnoticed. For years, the murders attracted little scrutiny. Then forensic evidence began to surface, revealing a pattern that could no longer be ignored. At the centre of it was Werner Pinzner, known as "Mucki." He operated efficiently within a system designed to protect those who ordered the killings and those who carried them out.

Most times left solely within the confine of plantation narratives, slavery was far from a land-based phenomenon. This book reveals for the first time how it took critical shape at sea. Expanding the gaze even more widely, the book centers on how the oceanic transport of human cargoes - known as the infamous Middle Passage - comprised a violently regulated process foundational to the institution of bondage. Sowande' Mustakeem's groundbreaking study goes inside the Atlantic slave trade to explore the social conditions and human costs embedded in the world of maritime slavery. 

In the wake of the September 11 terror attacks, the American government implemented a wave of overt policies to fight the nation's enemies. Unseen and undetected by the public, however, another set of tools were brought to bear on the domestic front. One of today's leading experts on the US security state shows how these "subtle tools" imperiled the very foundations of democracy, from the separation of powers and transparency in government to adherence to the Constitution. Karen Greenberg describes the subtle tools that were forged under George W. Bush in the name of security.

The Convenient Terrorist is the definitive inside account of the capture, torture, and detention of Abu Zubaydah, the first “high-value target” captured by the CIA after 9/11. But was Abu Zubaydah, who is still being indefinitely held by the United States under shadowy circumstances, the blue-ribbon capture that the Bush White House claimed he was? 

Cuando decides denunciar las injustas muertes de la gente de tu comunidad e inicias un movimiento revolucionario, tal vez algunos te llamen terrorista. Esto es lo que les sucedió a Patrisse Khan-Cullors y Asha Bandele, entre otros muchos activistas, cuando decidieron impulsar el movimiento Black Lives Matter, el cual incendió las redes sociales en 2013 tras la absolución de George Zimmerman por la muerte del adolescente afroamericano Trayvon Martin.

Written by a cult survivor and renowned expert on cults and totalitarianism, Terror, Love and Brainwashing draws on the author's 25 years of study and research to explain how almost anyone, given the right set of circumstances, can be radically manipulated to engage in otherwise incomprehensible and often dangerous acts. 

Terror Inc.: The Business of Hate and Animosity is a gripping exploration of how terrorism has evolved from isolated, ideologically driven acts into a sophisticated, profit-driven global industry. This book reveals the dark, interconnected systems that sustain modern terrorism, where violence, power, and profit collide, challenging our understanding of extremism. Once seen as chaotic outbursts of fringe ideologies, terrorism has transformed into a calculated enterprise—a sprawling network where financial gain, political manipulation, and ideological subversion converge.

Americans responded to the deadly terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, with an outpouring of patriotism, though all were not united in their expression. A war-based patriotism inspired millions of Americans to wave the flag and support a brutal War on Terror in Afghanistan and Iraq, while many other Americans demanded an empathic patriotism that would bear witness to the death and suffering surrounding the attack. Twenty years later, the war still simmers, and both forms of patriotism continue to shape historical understandings of 9/11's legacy and the political life of the nation.

In Empire of Terror, Mark D. Silinsky argues that Iran is one of the United States’ deadliest enemies. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, known as the Guards, bring Iran’s sway over much of the greater Middle East, and pose a growing existential threat to Western security.

Part memoir and part forensic investigation, Textures of Terror is a gripping first-person story of women, violence, and migration out of Guatemala-and how the United States is implicated. Accompanying Jorge Velásquez in a years-long search for answers after the brutal murder of his daughter Claudina Isabel, Victoria Sanford explores what it means to seek justice in "postconflict" countries where violence never ended.

When the Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR halted mass operations in repression in November 1938, large numbers of mainly Communist purge victims whose cases remained incomplete were released. At the same time, hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror were scapegoated and arrested. Drawing on materials from the largely closed archives of the Soviet security police, this collection of essays by an international team of researchers illuminates the previously opaque world of the NKVD perpetrator.
