This masterful biography by one of Germany’s best known journalists was the leading nonfiction best seller in Germany. Fest shows Hitler as the receptacle of the dreads and resentments of a shaken social order, gifted with an uncanny instinct for all that was hollow behind the appearance of power, at home and abroad. Though a warped human being, he was neither clown nor puppet, as many liked to think; Hitler appears here as an enormously astute politician, impressing and hypnotizing Germans and foreigners alike with the scope of his projects and the theatricality of their presentation. Fest uncovers in Hitler a constantly destructive personality....

Tilmon Justice was a young man working hard to provide for his growing family in the insular Appalachian world, but he had the odds stacked against him.

This book describes the 18 years during which Den Dover had the privilege to serve the people of Chorley, in Lancashire, as their Member of Parliament. He entered Parliament in 1979 when Margaret Thatcher became the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and left in 1997 when Tony Blair won a massive victory for New Labour. Where the author has omitted to mention certain happenings, it has been in an effort to focus the minds of listeners on the important matters – not to obscure what really happened.

Late in the afternoon of April 4, 1968, a company of the 82nd Airborne Division was inserted by helicopter into what was believed to be a blocking position. Instead, the paratroopers were delivered into a killing zone. Ten men were killed and seventeen wounded, which prompted the company commander to request medevac and gunship support. After two medevac helicopters were struck by enemy fire and forced to abandon their recovery effort, one of the supporting gunships from the 101st Airborne Division landed twice in the dark and carried out ten wounded.

An ancient Greek in a traveling cloak stood on the plain at Giza, in the shadow of the pyramids, and had many questions. He wanted to know how the great stones had been raised, how many men had labored on them and for how long, what the workers had eaten, and what the marks carved into the casing recorded. Egyptian priests gave him answers, an interpreter turned their words into Greek, and the traveler wrote everything down, the plausible and the fantastic side by side, because he had come a very long way to learn it. He had no intention of leaving anything out.

A man’s destiny is shaped by the work he does, but also by his attitude towards life, his values and his ethics.
