Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Lewis M. Simons recollects his fifty years as a foreign correspondent, one whose powerful stories contributed to transforming Asia from Vietnam War-era basket case to a global boomtown that today rivals the United States. Simons's investigative work led to the toppling of a dictator in the Philippines. He covered the Tiananmen Square massacre in China, bloody coups in Thailand, attempted genocide and societal collapse in Cambodia, and economic advance, decline, and rebirth in Japan.

V roce 1979 se Daňa Horáková stala třetí, poslední, manželkou režiséra a scénáristy Pavla Juráčka (1935–1989). Ve stejném roce byli vzhledem ke svým politickým postojům nuceni se v rámci akce Státní bezpečnosti „Asanace“ vystěhovat do Západního Německa. Autorka v knize popisuje jejich seznámení, svatbu a následný společný život nejprve v Čechách a později v Německu bez příkras, a byť i jen malé trošky autocenzury. Poznáváme tu patologický vztah dvou intelektuálů, kteří nemohli žít spolu, ale ani bez sebe. Vyprávění stejně spalující jako příběh Viktorky a Černého myslivce.

Dean Yates was the ideal warzone correspondent: courageous, compassionate, dedicated. After years of facing the worst, though, including the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami, one final incident undid him. In July 2007, two of his staff members were brutally gunned down by an American helicopter in Iraq. What followed was an unravelling of everything Dean thought he knew of himself. His PTSD was compounded by his moral wound - the devastation of what he thought he knew of the world and his own character and beliefs.

In June 1798, President John Adams signed the now infamous Alien & Sedition Acts to suppress political dissent.

Autobiografie česko-německé novinářky a spisovatelky popisuje nesmírně vzrušující životní příběh vzdělané ženy. Její pokora nedovoluje o sobě hovořit v superlativech. Naopak. Její celoživotní snaha podávat pouze pravdu, ideálně ověřenou z několika na sebe nezávislých zdrojů, je cítit i v textu nejosobnějším, jejích vzpomínkách. Poznáváme život dívky dospívající na jihu Čech, která přes zastávku na studiích v Praze nakonec kvůli okupaci zakotvila na více než třicet let v Německu jako novinářka Rádia Svobodná Evropa.

Niemand im deutschen Fernsehen ist so verspottet und beschimpft worden wie Markus Lanz. Spätestens nach dem Ende von 'Wetten, dass ..?' schien der Moderator erledigt, 'einer wie er dürfte eigentlich nie eine Talkshow moderieren', schrieb die Frankfurter Rundschau noch 2019. Wenige Jahre später hat Markus Lanz aus seiner Talkshow eine der wichtigsten politischen Bühne des Landes gemacht, ohne ihn wäre Karl Lauterbach wahrscheinlich nie Bundesgesundheitsminister geworden.

Making a life first in civil service and then in the theater, Stoker drew upon his personal experiences, his deepest fears, and the larger-than-life people in his inner circle to create his timeless masterpiece, cementing his own immortality in the process.

Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen der Jahres 1932. Seine Berichterstattungen sind sehr genau und zeugen von der Bildung eines aufgeklärten Europäers. 1932 ist wie ein langer dunkler Dezember ohne Advent und Weihnachten. Der größte Teil des Textes behandelt die aufgeheizten Debatten um die Politik des Tages (5 große Wahlen in 8 Monaten). Den Terror der Nazis auf den Straßen und die Sabotage der Weimarer Institutionen aus den Hinterzimmern des Parlaments.
