È una torrida giornata d'estate quando l'esercito romano giunge in vista del nemico. Da ormai due anni i Goti saccheggiano in lungo e in largo la Tracia: quello che si sposta lentamente per sfuggire alle truppe imperiali è al tempo stesso un esercito e un popolo in marcia. In questa battaglia, scoppiata per caso, Roma subisce la sconfitta più decisiva della sua storia, più grave di Canne e di Teutoburgo. Si apre la strada alle invasioni barbariche e alla fine dell'impero d'Occidente.

The names Klaus Barbie, Adolf Eichmann, Hermann Goering, Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler, and Ernst Kaltenbrunner struck terror into law-abiding citizens, let alone those who resisted Adolf Hitler. These men were leaders of the Gestapo, the secret police during the times of the Nazis. This book outlines who the Gestapo were, how they operated, what their numbers were, the terrible crimes they committed, and how they paid for these in the end when they were hunted down after the war.

The Russian Revolution was the most important and progressive political event of the 20th century. There is a lot to learn from these explosive political episodes and many remarkable stories to discover.

With Europe anticipating a potential war, all that was missing was a conflagration. That would start in 1908, when Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Balkan Peninsula, drawing it into dispute with Russia. Moreover, this upset neighboring Serbia, which was an independent nation. From 1912-1913, a conflict was fought in the Balkans between the Balkan League and the Ottoman Empire, resulting in the weakening of the Ottoman Turks. After the First Balkan War, a second was fought months later between members of the Balkan League itself.

Il 1915 evidenzia in maniera definitiva come la guerra che si sta combattendo è destinata a coinvolgere diversi scenari geografici, molto più ampi rispetto a quelli che erano stati ipotizzati inizialmente. Al fronte occidentale e a quello orientale si aggiungeranno l’Africa e l’Oriente: lo scontro tra gli Imperi centrali e i Paesi alleati si sposterà dal Vecchio Continente verso nuovi territori.L’autentico primo conflitto totale dell’età moderna porterà a un decisivo cam-biamento: da un assetto politico eurocentrico si andrà verso una nuova era do-minata da superpotenze globali.

La battaglia della Marna segnò più che una sconfitta tedesca una sconfitta della strategia della Germania, che si ritrovò invischiata in un conflitto che ormai ave-va preso una piega ben diversa da quella immaginata inizialmente a Berlino. Il filosofo francese Henri Bergson intravide nella battaglia della Marna i segni di un miracolo già avvenuto: “La battaglia della Marna è stata vinta da Giovanna d’Arco”. Lo sentiva anche il nemico, che si era trovato d’improvviso di fronte ad un muro di pietra sorto dalla sera alla mattina.

The terrible conflict that dominated the mid-19th century, the Crimean War, killed at least 800,000 men and pitted Russia against a formidable coalition of Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire. It was a war for territory, provoked by fear that if the Ottoman Empire were to collapse then Russia could control a huge swathe of land from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf. But it was also a war of religion, driven by a fervent, populist and ever more ferocious belief by the Tsar and his ministers that it was Russia's task to rule all Orthodox Christians and control the Holy Land.
