Soudés durant cinquante-deux ans, Dominique et Bernard Tapie ont tout connu, la gloire et l'opprobre, le luxe et la ruine, les retours en grâce et les défaites... Face à un Bernard Tapie que l'on découvre aussi infatigable, excessif et imprévisible à la maison que dans sa vie publique, mais aussi terriblement jaloux et possessif, il fallait partir ou suivre. Dominique Tapie a fait mieux?: elle a décidé de résister. Présente mais rebelle, aimante mais critique, elle l'a mis en garde contre ses propres démons. Gardienne du «?clan?», elle a tenu la barre fermement.

Le monde regorge de tacticiens... et manque de stratèges ! Pourtant, les dirigeants qui réussissent le mieux, quel que soit leur domaine - diplomatie, politique, conseil, entreprise, défense -, sont ceux qui savent élaborer une stratégie, la faire partager à leurs collaborateurs et s'y tenir. Persévérer dans sa vision, s'adapter, agir sous contrainte sans compromettre sa liberté : ce sont autant de défis à relever pour viser le sommet, y compris dans sa propre vie.

Em muitos aspectos, Pio XI e o “Duce” não poderiam ter personalidades mais diferentes. No entanto, havia muito em comum. Não acreditavam na democracia e abominavam o comunismo. Eram propensos a ataques de cólera e protegiam com todas as forças as regalias dos cargos que ocupavam. Além disso, contaram um com o outro para consolidar seus poderes e alcançar objetivos políticos.

Toute ma vie j'ai eu de la chance, beaucoup de chance, peut-être même trop de chance quand je pense à tous ceux qui n'ont d'autre choix que d'affronter la grisaille d'un quotidien désespérant et, souvent, douloureux. Ce n'est pas que les épreuves m'ont été épargnées. J'ai eu mon lot d'échecs professionnels et personnels. J'ai même l'impression d'avoir parfois dû payer un prix élevé au succès, et à la notoriété. Mais jamais, au grand jamais, je n'ai connu l'ennui.

The powerful and timely story of Peter Hain's political life fighting South African apartheid and modern-day corruption. Peter Hain has had a dramatic 50-year political career, in Britain and his native South Africa. This is the story of that extraordinary journey, from Pretoria to the House of Lords. Hain vividly describes his anti-apartheid parents’ arrest and harassment in the early 1960s, the hanging of a close white family friend, and enforced London exile in 1966.

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa is credited with driving through the deal between the apartheid government and the African National Congress that was at the heart of South Africa’s democratic constitution. He was the ANC’s lead negotiator and the man who persuaded one of the most recalcitrant racist governments in the world to buy into a settlement based on one of its most enlightened bills of rights. But once the ink had dried on the constitution, Ramaphosa found himself politically sidelined.

In her final days in office she compiled the explosive State of Capture report and, two years before that, Secure in Comfort, the report on President Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla residence. Praised and vilified in equal measure, Madonsela frequently found herself on centre stage in the increasingly fractious South African political scene. Yet, despite the intense media scrutiny, Madonsela remains something of an enigma. Who is this soft-spoken woman who stood up to state corruption? Where did she develop her views and resolve?

L'opposition entre de Gaulle et Mitterrand met dos à dos un homme qui lutte contre l'effondrement d'une civilisation et un individu qui se moque que celle-ci disparaisse pourvu qu'il puisse vivre dans ses ruines à la façon d'un satrape. Le premier donne sa vie pour sauver la France ; le second donne la France pour sauver sa vie. L'un veut une France forte, grande et puissante, à même d'inspirer une Europe des patries ; l'autre la veut faible, petite et impuissante, digérée par l'Europe du capitalisme. L'un ressuscite Caton ; l'autre réincarne Néron.

Elaine Brown assumed her role as the first and only female leader of the Black Panther Party with these words: “I have all the guns and all the money. I can withstand challenge from without and from within. Am I right, Comrade?” It was August 1974. From a small Oakland-based cell, the Panthers had grown to become a revolutionary national organization. How Brown came to a position of power over this paramilitary, male-dominated organization, and what she did with that power, is a riveting, unsparing account of self-discovery.

Then with almost no warning, those dreams were pulled away from her when she was suddenly married to a stranger at 17 and had to leave behind her family in Pakistan to move to Canada. Her new husband and his family promised that the marriage and the move would be a fulfillment of her dream, not a betrayal of it. But as the walls of their home slowly became a prison, Samra realized the promises were empty ones.

As an academic turned politician, the charismatic Slabbert brought unusual intellectual rigour to parliament, transforming the upstart Progressive Federal Party into a force that challenged the National Party government. But disillusioned by the paralysis of formal white politics and by the growing polarisation of South African society, he resigned in 1986 to explore democratic alternatives to the impasse into which the country had been led under apartheid.

Robert A. Caro's life of Lyndon Johnson continues - one of the richest, most intensive, and most revealing examinations ever undertaken of an American President. The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer/historian carries Johnson through his service in World War II and the foundation of his long-concealed fortune and the facts behind the myths he created about it. But the explosive heart of the book is Caro's revelation of the true story of the fiercely contested 1948 senatorial election.
