Amid the fear following 9/11 and other recent terror attacks, it is easy to forget the most important fact about terrorist campaigns: the always come to an end - and often far more quickly than expected. Contrary to what many assume, when it comes to dealing with terrorism it may be more important to understand how it ends than how it begins.

America is a land in which extremism no longer belongs to the country's shadowy fringes, but comfortably exists in the national mainstream. That is the alarming conclusion by intelligence analyst Daryl Johnson, an expert on domestic extremism with more than 25 years of experience tracking radicalized groups for the US government. In this book, Johnson dissects the rapidly expanding forms of American hatred and radicalization, including white nationalists, antigovernment militias, antifascists (Antifa), militant black nationalists, and extremist Islamic groups.

15 dicembre 1969, la giornata più lunga. I funerali di Stato delle vittime nel Duomo. L'arresto del "mostro" Pietro Valpreda, un ballerino anarchico milanese. A suo carico c'è una testimonianza che gli inquirenti ritengono inattaccabile: un tassista sostiene di averlo accompagnato alla Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura (BNA) con una valigetta molto pesante, pochi minuti prima della strage. Dopo tre giorni, il ferroviere anarchico Giuseppe Pinelli è ancora trattenuto in questura: a mezzanotte, durante l'ennesimo interrogatorio, precipita dal quarto piano di Milano e muore.

L'incontro con un maestro di giornalismo, Corrado Stajano, fondamentale anche nella vicenda di Piazza Fontana, e quello con Mario Calabresi, per parlare della morte di suo padre, ucciso il 17 maggio 1972. La giustizia negata per la morte di Pinelli e per le vittime della strage. Il ruolo del giudice Guido Salvini e l'indagine che non può finire. Anzi, sta per entrare nel vivo.

La prima pista è quella rossa. La sera del 12 dicembre 1969 la polizia inizia a rastrellare decine di militanti di sinistra, soprattutto anarchici. Sei di loro – per la verità – sono già in prigione da alcuni mesi: li si accusa di aver compiuto una serie di attentati tra la primavera e l'estate del 1969. Gli inquirenti li stanno torchiando duramente, mentre i giornali annunciano senza esitazioni: il mostro ha già un nome.

12 dicembre 1969, Milano. Sono le 16:37 quando un giovane impiegato venuto dal Sud si avvicina alla grande vetrata che dà sul grande salone della banca dove lavora, la Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura (BNA) di piazza Fontana. La sua vita e la storia di questo Paese stanno per cambiare per sempre. Lì sotto, nell'emiciclo, una bomba esplode uccidendo 17 persone e ferendone 88. È la più grande strage europea dal 1945.

An award-winning journalist’s extraordinary account of being kidnapped and tortured in Syria by al Qaeda for two years—a revelatory memoir about war, human nature, and endurance that’s “the best of the genre, profound, poetic, and sorrowful” (The Atlantic). In 2012, American journalist...

Il 12 dicembre 1969 scoppiava una bomba nella Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura nel centro di Milano: 17 morti (alcuni deceduti nei giorni successivi) e 88 feriti e la storia d'Italia cambiò. Fu la "madre di tutte le stragi", l'apice della strategia della tensione. Una strage ancora senza colpevoli, anche se nel 2005 la Cassazione ha stabilito che fu opera dell'estrema destra, e in particolare di un gruppo eversivo costituito a Padova nell'alveo di Ordine Nuovo.

It was the most godless place on earth. An island where European men could act on their every whim. Serial killers roamed the countryside accompanied by mass murderers, psychopaths, and rapists. This book introduces Americans to a hidden genocide most know nothing about. It is a horribly true story that's not for the faint of heart. It is a story of rage. It is a story of revenge. It is a story of grisly violence and of death. It is a story that demands to be told.

This is a 9/11 book like no other. Masterfully weaving together multiple strands of the events in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, Fall and Rise is a mesmerising, minute-by-minute account of that terrible day. In the days and months after 9/11, Mitchell Zuckoff, then a reporter for the Boston Globe, wrote about the attacks, the victims, and their families.

Within days of the D-Day landings, the 'Das Reich' 2nd SS Panzer Division marched north through France to reinforce the front-line defenders of Hitler's Fortress Europe. Veterans of the bloodiest fighting of the Russian Front, 15,000 men with their tanks and artillery, they were hounded for every mile of their march by saboteurs of the Resistance and agents of the Allied Special Forces. Along their route they took reprisals so savage they will live forever in the chronicles of the most appalling atrocities of war.

A clash between cultures has happened many times throughout history. Events from 1979 to this point is leading the Western and Muslim cultures into a crusade with no present way out. The reason for all this fighting for the past 37 years has no simple answer and history has a way of always repeating itself.

Frequent claims of foiled plots; tighter monitoring of suspects and stronger global terror laws. On the flip side, a new safe haven emerging for terrorists in Pakistan; stories of terror cells springing up throughout North Africa; numerous recruits from Europe's leading universities willing to sign up to the cause. Are Al Qaeda and its affiliates, responsible for the horrific attacks in New York, London and Madrid, finding it hard to be the force they once were, or should we be bracing ourselves for the next outrage?

Michel Paradis’s Last Mission to Tokyo, a “superb” (The Wall Street Journal) and “engrossing...richly researched” (The New York Times Book Review) account of a key but underreported moment in World War II: The Doolittle Raids and the international war crimes trial in 1945 that defined...

Historicamente construído, o terrorismo é um dos assuntos mais multifacetados da atualidade, com aspectos e implicações política, cultural, religiosa, midiática, social e econômica. A sua compreensão, condição primária para o seu enfrentamento, demanda uma abordagem multi, inter e transdisciplinar capaz de alcançar a complexidade que faz desse problema um dos mais desafiadores da chamada modernidade tardia.
