Vladimir Ilitch Oulianov, alias Lénine, l'une des figures les plus influentes du XXe siècle, va orchestrer la révolution russe et du même coup changer la face du monde. Mais qui était ce révolutionnaire avant les événements de 1917 ?

The attack of the US Pearl Harbor Naval Base changed the entire progress of World War II, and as a result, it was a very formative event both for the United States and Japan. Though the two nations seemed unlikely enemies at the onset of the Second Great War, bloodshed between them would be greater than anyone could have imagined. The future of the world at large was changed on December 7, 1941, when the Empire of Japan chose to make a preemptive strike on its most feared Pacific neighbor, the United States of America.

This is the incredible true story of the greatest spy you’ve never heard of - as told to the author by the woman herself. At the outbreak of World War Two, Nancy Wake’s glamorous life in the South of France seemed far removed from the fighting. But when her husband was called up for military service, Nancy felt she had just as much of a duty to fight for freedom. By 1943, her fearless undercover work even in the face of personal tragedy had earned her a place on the Gestapo’s "most wanted" list.

On June 6, 1944, the greatest armada in history stood off Normandy and the largest amphibious invasion ever began as 107,000 men aboard 6,000 ships pressed toward the coast. Among them were 14,500 Canadians, who were to land on a five-mile-long stretch of rocky ledges fronted by a dangerously exposed beach. Drawing on personal diaries as well as military records, Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Victory, June 6, 1944 dramatically depicts Canada's pivotal contribution to the critical Allied battle of World War II.

As a psychiatrist, Dr. Rubin learned that Anti-Semitism and other deep-seated prejudices are non-organic diseases of the mind: malignant emotional illnesses that can be treated by only first understanding the unique psychodynamics involved. Little has been written about this aspect of bigotry. Anti-Semitism is a bold endeavor to shed light on one of humankind's most destructive and contagious illnesses, and offers hope and healing for the future.

Iosif Vissarionovich, Stalin, fue el hijo de un zapatero, un preso, un revolucionario, un líder militar y, entre 1928 y 1953 manejó a voluntad el destino del país más grande del mundo y la vida de sus ciudadanos. Su recuerdo aún genera una mezcla de terror y añoranza en millones de personas y la historia del S. XX no puede entenderse sin comprender a fondo su vida y el contexto en el que vivió hasta en sus más nimios detalles.

Napoleone alla fine di agosto raduna la parte più agguerrita del suo esercito, la ribattezza Grande Armée, e marcia verso oriente, per quella che sarebbe stata, insieme a Canne, l'esempio più famoso di battaglia condotta secondo un piano prestabilito. C’è da chiedersi se le cose siano andate proprio come Napoleone le ha raccontate. Quel dicembre del 1805 il mito di Napoleone si è consolidato per sempre.

Dzieło życia Jacka Komudy, znanego popularyzatora historii i autora kilkudziesięciu bestsellerów książkowych. Tym razem pisarz wziął na warsztat wojska I Rzeczypospolitej. Na temat powstań kozackich napisano bardzo wiele prac naukowych, rozwikłano wiele problemów politycznych, gospodarczych i społecznych, nie mamy jednak pełnego obrazu jak wyglądała wojskowość kozacka. Niniejsza książka jest – o dziwo – pierwszą rozprawą omawiającą kozacką ars militaris. Piechota zaporoska, jej uzbrojenie i sposób walki.

"Mon Dieu, si je survis, je ferai tout pour changer ça." C'est sous le feu nourri de l'artillerie ukrainienne que Pavel Filatiev s'est fait cette promesse. Membre du 56e régiment d'assaut aéroporté russe, il participe dès le 24 février 2022 à la guerre déclenchée par le Kremlin. Blessé à l'oeil, il est évacué et demande à démissionner pour raisons de santé. Démission refusée. Il décide alors de fuir la Russie. Mais pas avant d'avoir témoigné, en publiant un long manifeste sur le réseau social VKontakte : ZOV, "l'appel", en référence aux trois lettres peintes sur les blindés qui ont envahi l'Ukraine.

De entre todos los conflictos acaecidos en la historia de América, la guerra de 1812 es uno de los más singulares, y clave en el devenir americano. Fue una batalla llena de sorpresas e ironías - las debilidades de ambas partes en el conflicto a lo largo de los dos años de lucha constante terminarían por convertirse en sus respectivas fortalezas. 

Nella storia della civiltà europea il Settecento rappresenta una tappa fondamentale; è un'età di profondo e generale rinnovamento in tutti i campi: politico, sociale e culturale. La prima metà del secolo è segnata da tre guerre di successione: la guerra di successione spagnola (1704-12), la guerra di successione polacca (1733-35), la guerra di successione austriaca (1740-48).

Written in 1791 as a response to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, Thomas Paine's Rights of Man is a seminal work on human freedom and equality. Using the French Revolution and its ideals as an example, he demonstrates his belief that any government must put the inherent rights of its citizens above all else, especially politics.

When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. A Jew and a medical doctor, the prisoner Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was spared death for a grimmer fate: to perform "scientific research" on his fellow inmates under the supervision of the man who became known as the infamous "Angel of Death" - Dr. Josef Mengele. Nyiszli was named Mengele's personal research pathologist. In that capacity he also served as physician to the Sonderkommando, the Jewish prisoners who worked exclusively in the crematoriums and were routinely executed after four months.

The Vietnam War remains one of the most iconic events of the 20th century. In the United States, it polarized public opinion and changed foreign policy. It destroyed the presidency of Lyndon Johnson and was the catalyst for a massively impactful protest movement. More importantly, in Vietnam, as well as surrounding areas, it caused untold destruction, death, and suffering. 

This book brings to light some of the lost stories of Indian aviators who built the very foundations of human and physical infrastructure for what is now the world's fourth largest air force. It benefits from several first-person interviews with some of the last Indian survivors of World War II, enabling a level of fidelity that is quite rare among Indian histories. 

Huge international companies and corporations are a normal part of our everyday lives today. For most, their unimaginable wealth and power, rivaling even some of the smaller countries of the world, is something we take for granted. And we see them as the living embodiment of the capitalist system, regardless if we take it as a good or a bad omen. However, this wasn’t always the case. 

D-Day, June 6, is one of the most significant dates in the calendar. The 20th century's fate hung in the balance as Nazi Germany had marched across Europe, bringing the blitzkrieg, the Holocaust, and the mad dreams of Adolf Hitler across the bloodied landscape of Europe. In order for the Nazis to be stopped, the Allies had to invade occupied Europe. And invade they did, launching the most massive amphibious landing the world had ever seen.

Gli eventi che portarono Napoleone al potere furono il frutto di un contesto sto-rico preciso in cui per la prima volta nella Storia si facevano vive le istanze di li-bertà da parte di tutte le classi sociali.

Scopriremo inoltre un giovane Napoleone, la formazione militare, i primi passi come soldato e gli iniziali audaci sogni di gloria.

The Battle of Okinawa was the deadliest campaign of the Pacific during World War II.

But the Japanese, determined to defend their homeland and preserve their way of life, would fight to the death against the invaders. As the Army and Marines fought bloody battles to gain Okinawa inch by inch, the Navy was subjected to kamikaze attacks.
