The renowned historian weaves a definitive account of the Holocaust—from Hitler’s rise to power to the final defeat of the Nazis in 1945. Rich with eyewitness accounts, incisive interviews, and first-hand source materials—including documentation from the Eichmann and Nuremberg war crime trials—this sweeping narrative begins with an in-depth historical analysis of the origins of anti-Semitism in Europe, and tracks the systematic brutality of Hitler’s “Final Solution” in unflinching detail. It brings to light new source materials documenting Mengele’s diabolical concentration camp experiments and documents the activities of Himmler, Eichmann, and other Nazi leaders. It also dem...
Scattered off the west coast of mainland Greece are the seven Ionian Islands, celebrated for their spectacular landscapes, olive groves and classical associations. Together with the mountainous mainland region of Epirus, the combined populations of Corfu, Paxos, Lefkas, Ithaca, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Kythira constitute less than a twentieth of the population of Greece, yet they have made a huge contribution to the culture of the country, before and since becoming part of the Greek state. The unsurpassed beauty of the islands and of the Pindus Mountains has stimulated the imagination of countless writers and artists from Homer to Byron, Edward Lear and the Durrells, Louis de Bernières and Nicholas Gage, as well as scores of nineteenth-century travellers. Drawing a mosaic portrait of the Ionian Islands and special places of interest in Epirus, Corfu resident Jim Potts focuses on the landscapes, legends, traditions and historical events that have appealed most strongly to the imaginations of writers, residents and travellers.

È l'unico volume che ricostruisce la genesi politica e la storia del complotto internazionale che portò al rapimento dell'onorevole Aldo Moro, contestando le tesi “politicamente corrette” apparse fino ad ora in una miriade di pubblicazioni. Storia segreta del PCI è il libro più documentato e l'ultimo atto di una vicenda descritta attraverso migliaia di carte ufficiali del Governo italiano (che solo Wikileaks, probabilmente, avrebbe pubblicato) e attraverso il racconto di numerosi osservatori diretti e partecipanti, come i partigiani italiani fuggiti dal nostro Paese - residenti in Cecoslovacchia - e personalità della nostra Ambasciata a Praga. Rudolf Barak, ex Ministro dell'Interno ...
