The Silent Warrior: The Price of Survival is a deeply personal memoir by Tony Guerra, tracing nearly eight decades of a life shaped by discipline, war, service, illness, and unbreakable resilience. The book is not merely a war story, but a reflection on character, endurance, and the quiet strength required to survive life’s greatest trials.

In April 1975, the Vietnam War ended not with a treaty or a victory parade, but with helicopters lifting from a collapsing city. Operation Frequent Wind was the final evacuation of Saigon, carried out as South Vietnam disintegrated and the last American personnel prepared to leave a war that had exhausted political will, trust, and time. In Operation Frequent Wind, Miles Dunsford delivers a clear, human account of those final days. Moving from Washington’s political paralysis to the pressure inside the U.S.

Una lectura profundamente humana que demuestra que, incluso frente al mal absoluto, la esperanza puede sobrevivir en manos de los valientes.

It is newly estimated that 750,000 soldiers died in the American Civil War. But less well-known than the war’s death toll are the roughly 400,000 Union and Confederate troops who were captured and imprisoned. Many POWs died from starvation, dysentery, and exposure, and at the worst of the prison pens, more than 30,000 soldiers were caged in the equivalent of ten city blocks. Against the backdrop of a brutal internecine conflict, the Civil War’s prison camps were a harrowing milestone in the history of mass dehumanization.

As the soldiers lifted me from the floor, my father's eyes locked with my own. For just a moment, I thought I saw a shadow of sadness across his face. But it disappeared as quickly as it had arrived, replaced with my father's look of perpetual determination. "You'll find me at the hospital," I...

Judith Hermann folgt den Spuren ihres Großvaters, der während des Zweiten Weltkriegs für die SS im polnischen Radom stationiert war. Sie verknüpft ihr Schreiben mit seiner lange verleugneten Geschichte, reist von Polen aus weiter zu ihrer Schwester nach Neapel und geht Erinnern und Vergessen der folgenden Generationen nach. In Zwischen- und Untertönen spürt Judith Hermann das Verdrängte, die Leerstellen unserer Gesellschaft auf. Ebenso magisch wie magnetisch erzählt sie davon, wie fragil wir uns in unseren Leben einrichten – und zeigt auch, welche Schönheit sich darin verbergen kann.

Much of the history of United States defense over the course of 250 years has been a story of success. Insulated by two oceans and mostly friendly neighbors, but constantly ambitious abroad, America has dared mighty things and often achieved them, argues defense analyst Michael O'Hanlon. After growing into a continental power, largely through force of arms, during the first half of its history, it then led the way to coalition victories in two world wars, pursued peace in the Cold War, and has contributed to the most democratic period in human history.

The Winter Soldier Investigation was a pivotal event organized by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) from January 31 to February 2, 1971, in Detroit. It aimed to expose war crimes and atrocities committed by U.S. military forces during the Vietnam War. The investigation was named as a contrast to Thomas Paine’s “summer soldier,” symbolizing those who support war only in times of ease, while “winter soldiers” speak truth despite hardship.

Operation Gold is one of the most extraordinary—and least believed—Cold War operations ever attempted: a secret tunnel dug beneath divided Berlin so Britain and America could listen directly to Soviet communications. It sounds like the plot of a spy thriller, yet it happened in real life, in a city where every street corner had eyes, every building had informants, and every shadow seemed to belong to someone else. This book takes you into that world, where engineering became espionage, and where the ground itself became a battleground.

Se trató de una campaña sofisticada y sorprendentemente bien financiada para socavar las instituciones democráticas, promover el antisemitismo y destruir la confianza ciudadana en sus líderes electos, con el objetivo final de derrocar al Gobierno estadounidense e instaurar un régimen autoritario. Algunos de los funcionarios electos más influyentes del país, incluyendo senadores y miembros del Congreso, trabajaron para difundir argumentos nazis, mientras que paramilitares fascistas almacenaban bombas y armas preparándose para una insurrección violenta.

For eighty-two years the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), which in 1918 became the Royal Air Force (RAF), maintained a permanent military aviation presence in the Far East. The first RFC units arrived in India in 1915. RAF India grew substantially in the interwar period and throughout World War Two. Various changes in the command structure finally saw the creation of the Far East Air Force (FEAF) in June 1949, covering South East Asia and Hong Kong.

Vladka Meed, born Feigele Peltel, was just a teenager when the Germans invaded Poland in 1939. Increasingly devastated by the deportation and murder of 300,000 Jews—including her mother, brother, and sister—who were sent from Warsaw to the death camp of Treblinka, she heeded the call for armed resistance, joining the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB), established in Warsaw in July 1942.

The history of modern China has long been portrayed as a tale of Communists fighting in the hills for freedom, gradually gaining popular support by taking land from the rich and giving it to the poor. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Red Dawn Over China reveals how unlikely the Party's victory actually was, had it not been for financial and military support from the Soviet Union.
