From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Volunteer, the powerful true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after World War II to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large.

Since the signing of the international conventions prohibiting torture, this extreme form of violence seemed to remain a problem only in individual dictatorships. Discussions over the permissibility of preventive torture or torture to save people's lives and methods practised in the war on terror question this assumption. Since the mid-1990s there has been an increase in the portrayal of torture on television, in films and computer games, and even in its use by positive heroes. At the same time medical and psychological evidence testifies to the serious psychological consequences of torture for the victims. Torture not only threatens individuals but also the fundamental social cohesion of human life. The contributions to this volume discuss various aspects of torture. They range from media law provisions to the visual representation of torture, how torture is dealt with in the context of legal residential status procedures, and how medicine and psychology relate to torture and historical and current legal discourse.
Ein neuartiges Ministerium und die Frage nach Kontinuität und Diskontinuität. Knapp sechseinhalb Jahre nach Gründung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurde Mitte Oktober 1955 das Bundesministerium für Atomfragen gegründet, das sich – unter wechselnden Namen – nach und nach zu einem Forschungs- und später auch Bildungsministerium entwickelte. Thomas Raithel und Niels Weise untersuchen erstmals das Ausmaß historischer Kontinuitäten in diesem betont zukunftsorientierten Ressort aus institutionen-, diskurs- und personengeschichtlicher Perspektive. Die Autoren unterstreichen die Vielfalt individueller NS-Belastungen innerhalb eines stark natur- und technikwissenschaftlich geprägten Bundesministeriums und belegen die hohe Anpassungs- und Funktionsfähigkeit deutscher Eliten von der Weimarer Republik über das NS-Regime bis in die frühe Bundesrepublik.

Im Zusammenhang mit dem NSA-Abhörskandal in den USA wurde auch die Spionage des BND gegen Verbündete und internationale Organisationen ein politisches Thema. Seit mehreren Jahren beschäftigt sich damit ein Bundestagsuntersuchungsausschuss. Was genau war geschehen? Drei ausgewiesene Geheimdienstexperten analysieren das Verhältnis des BND zu seinen wichtigsten Partnern im Westen über sechs Jahrzehnte hinweg. Sie behandeln das Spannungsfeld zwischen Kooperation und Konfrontation am Beispiel der Nachbarländer Österreich, Schweiz und Frankreich genauso wie die konfliktreichen Beziehungen mit Großbritannien, Italien und den skandinavischen Ländern sowie den USA. Die Autoren stützen sich auf Akten der Organisation Gehlen und des BND, auf freigegebene Akten ausländischer Nachrichtendienste sowie auf Materialien und Nachlässe einst einflussreicher Agenten.
