Michael Roth schreibt von den "Zonen der Angst" der Berufspolitik. Vom innerparteilichen Machtkampf. Den sozialen Medien und dem drohenden Shitstorm. Dem Pranger, weil man die Rituale und die Sprache der eigenen Bubble, Partei oder Peer-Group infrage stellt. Dem falschen politischen Spiel mit gesellschaftlichen Ängsten. Darunter hat der Mensch Michael Roth immer stärker gelitten - und seine eigene mentale Erkrankung erst spät erkannt. Mit seinem Buch möchte er anderen Mut machen, sich den eigenen Ängsten zu stellen. Dabei schont er weder seine politischen Weggefährten noch sich selbst.

Persönlich aber unsentimental verfolgt er den Weg der Gutsbesitzerfamilie in den Westen und spürt dabei dem Verlust nach, der nicht nur den Betroffenen entstanden ist. Es entsteht ein Porträt der fast vergessenen deutschen Provinz, die in ihrer Tragik, aber auch in ihrer historischen und kulturellen Einzigartigkeit sichtbar wird – als verdrängter Teil unserer nationalen Identität.

Aus den menschlichen Verwerfungen des 2. Weltkrieges sind in Deutschland zwei Staaten, die DDR und die Bundesrepublik, hervorgegangen. Mit der Bürde der deutschen Verantwortung für die unendlichen Zerstörungen und Verbrechen der Nazizeit mussten sie einen neuen Weg in die Gemeinschaft mit anderen Völkern finden. Der Frieden war eine aus den Trümmern erstandene Hoffnung für alle Deutschen. Im Rückblick sieht Gabriele Gysi die Gemeinsamkeit beider deutscher Staaten in ihrem unmittelbaren Bezug aufeinander. Noch heute ist die deutsche Frage nicht gelöst, nur neu gestellt.

The most highly decorated German regimental commander of World War II, Hyazinth Graf Strachwitz first won the Iron Cross in the Great War. He was serving with the 1st Panzer Division when the Polish campaign inaugurated World War II. Strachwitz's exploits as commander of a panzer battalion during the French campaign earned him further decorations before he transferred to the newly formed 16th Panzer Division. There, he participated in the invasion of Yugoslavia and then Operation Barbarossa, where he earned the Knight's Cross.

In May 1941 the German battleship Bismarck, accompanied by heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, broke out into the Atlantic to attack Allied shipping. The Royal Navy's pursuit and subsequent destruction of the Bismarck was an epic of naval warfare. In this new account of those dramatic events at the height of the Second World War, Iain Ballantyne draws extensively on the graphic eyewitness testimony of veterans to construct a thrilling story, mainly from the point of view of the British battleships, cruisers, and destroyers involved.

Durch Görings Leben zieht sich wie ein roter Faden das Streben nach Macht und Geltung, von der Kindheit bis zur Verurteilung beim Nürnberger Kriegsverbrechertribunal und dem Selbstmord in der Gefängniszelle. Andreas Molitor zeigt, dass der selbsternannte «Mann der Tat» mit der «Entjudung der deutschen Wirtschaft» den wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Niedergang der deutschen Juden besiegelt und bei der Vorbereitung des Holocaust eine Hauptrolle gespielt hat.

In October 1977, an unknown German police unit made global headlines by storming a hijacked Lufthansa airliner in Mogadishu, Somalia. Operatives of GSG 9 freed eighty-six hostages, eliminated three of the four terrorists, and emerged with a near-total victory. This daring rescue left the world in awe, including the US military. President Carter asked, "Do we have the same capability as the West Germans?" The answer was no—and it was this realization that impelled the creation of Delta Force.

Based on newly discovered, secret documents from German archives, diaries and newspapers of the time, Gun Control in the Third Reich presents the definitive, yet hidden history of how the Nazi regime made use of gun control to disarm and repress its enemies and consolidate power. The countless...

Jahrhundertelang fegte ein Feuer durch Europa. Es brannte unaufhörlich und zwang Nationen und Königreiche in die Knie – dieses Feuer kam aus dem Norden. Aufgrund einer Reihe soziopolitischer Auslöser brachen die Wikinger aus ihren nordischen Heimatländern in Skandinavien auf und durchzogen die Reiche Europas in alle Himmelsrichtungen – nach Süden, Osten, Westen und Norden. Meisterhaft beherrschten sie die Navigation der Ozeane und dominierten die Flusswege. Auf ihren schnellen Langschiffen schrieben diese unbarmherzigen Nordmänner ein völlig neues Kapitel europäischer Geschichte.

World War II was more than just a clash of armies—it was a battle of ideologies, economies, and strategies on a global scale. It was the deadliest conflict in human history, involving more than 30 countries and resulting in the deaths of an estimated 70 to 85 million people, including both military personnel and civilians. For a time, it seemed as though Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, might succeed in reshaping the world according to its vision. Germany’s early victories stunned observers and instilled fear across Europe.

Through its unforgettable characters and immersive storytelling, The Intermediaries charts the relationships between nascent sexual science, queer civil rights, and the fight against fascism.

Hatte die DDR einen eigenen Klang? Wie politisch oder privat ist Kunst und Kultur? Welche Bilder zeichnet die Lyrik in einem sozialistischen System und welche Töne schlägt die Musik an? Mit Fragen wie diesen befassen sich die Pianistin Ragna Schirmer, der Schlagzeuger Matthias Daneck und der Schauspieler, Regisseur und Autor Axel Ranisch. Sie beleuchten in Wort und Ton die vier Jahrzehnte der DDR-Historie. Gedichte sowie Musikstücke im Spannungsfeld zwischen Alltag und Utopie, Avantgarde und Anpassung.

Aachen saw some of the fiercest fighting of the Second World War. Through the determined defense of their city the citizens of Aachen held off the oncoming American forces for six weeks, giving the Nazis time to mobilize their troops for what would become the Battle of the Bulge. Had it not been for dogged resistance of these men and women the last great German offensive in the West might have never occurred, potentially ending the war in Europe six months earlier and saving the lives of thousands.

The German Army lost two consecutive wars and the conclusion is often drawn that it simply wasn't able to cope with its opponents. This image is constantly reinforced in literature and in the media, where seemingly brainless operating German units led by fanatical officers predominate. Nothing was as far from the truth. The records show that the Germans consistently outfought the far more numerous Allied armies that eventually defeated them: their relative battlefield performance was at least 1.5 and in most cases three times as high as that of its opponents.

After the WWII, Germans began a generation-long debate about the status that should be accorded Wehrmacht deserters. The topic would be debated between the two Germanies and engaged survivors and perpetrators, playwrights, and judges, those who had stayed in the ranks and those who had not. Was the Wehrmacht a coward, a victim, or a role model? The book's discussion of this postwar debate explains how and why Germany finally decided to overturn military court-martial verdicts from the Second World War fifty years after its conclusion.

From childhood trauma to global war, The Last Kaiser traces the life of Europe’s most volatile monarch—and the empire that crumbled with him. It’s the story of how one man’s pride, paranoia, and theatrical leadership helped ignite World War I, destroy the old European order, and leave behind a vacuum that would welcome something even darker.

How did an obscure agitator on the political fringes of early-20th-century Germany rise to become the supreme leader of the "Third Reich"? Unlike many other books that track Adolf Hitler's career after 1933, this book focuses on his formative period—immediately following World War I (1918-1924). The author, a veteran producer of historical documentaries, brings to life this era of political unrest and violent conflict, when forces on both the left and right were engaged in a desperate power struggle.

In the summer of 1940, darkness was falling over Europe. Led by Winston Churchill, the British rediscovered the virtues that had made a humble people the rulers of the world. In June 1940, Winston Churchill called the battle Britain's "finest hour", and he was right.

The Fall of the Reich: The Final 100 Days tells the harrowing and historically rich story of how the Third Reich unravelled during its final, desperate months between January and May 1945. What was once a seemingly invincible Nazi war machine had by 1945 become a hollow shell—crumbling under the weight of defeat, dissent, and destruction. From the failed final offensive in the Ardennes to the thunder of Soviet artillery at the gates of Berlin, this book tracks the intense and often chaotic events that sealed Hitler’s fate and reshaped the modern world.
