25. Mai 1944. Im Morgengrauen springen über dem bosnischen Bergstädtchen Drvar Hunderte deutsche SS-Luftlandesoldaten mit Fallschirmen ab oder landen per Gleitsegler. Der Kampfauftrag des Bewährungsbataillons: das Zentrum der jugoslawischen Partisanen zerschlagen und deren Führer Marschall Tito fassen - tot oder lebendig. Weitere deutsche Einheiten, darunter die SS-Division "Prinz Eugen", kesseln Drvar weiträumig ein. Es ist der letzte großangelegte Versuch der Deutschen, den Kriegsverlauf auf dem Balkan nochmals zu wenden. Was die SS nicht weiß: Tito verschanzt sich mit seinem Stab in einer entlegenen Berghöhle. Für die Fallschirmjäger beginnt ein Kampf gegen die Zeit. Und schon b...

«Negli ultimi decenni è prevalsa, nel mainstream delle rappresentazioni mediatiche della nostra storia nazionale, una diffusa degenerazione revisionista, fatta di scoop, dissacrazioni, sensazionalismo e verità taciute o negate che nulla ha a che spartire con il rigore dell’argomentazione scientifica. Ed è proprio questa degenerazione ad acclamarsi per prima revisionista». La storia è in crisi? Oppure è la comunicazione storica che fatica ad arginare la deriva presentista della società contemporanea? Quali sono le responsabilità dei politici e dei media nel processo di destoricizzazione che investe le università e le nuove generazioni? E quali quelle degli storici? Sono alcune del...
The second volume of The Cambridge History of Communism explores the rise of Communist states and movements after World War II. Leading experts analyze archival sources from formerly Communist states to re-examine the limits to Moscow's control of its satellites; the de-Stalinization of 1956; Communist reform movements; the rise and fall of the Sino-Soviet alliance; the growth of Communism in Asia, Africa and Latin America; and the effects of the Sino-Soviet split on world Communism. Chapters explore the cultures of Communism in the United States, Western Europe and China, and the conflicts engendered by nationalism and the continued need for support from Moscow. With the danger of a new Cold War developing between former and current Communist states and the West, this account of the roots, development and dissolution of the socialist bloc is essential reading.

Mitja Velikonja has written a comprehensive survey that examines how religion has interacted with other aspects of Bosnia-Herzegovina's history. Velikonja sees the former Ottoman borderland as a distinct cultural and religious entity where three major faiths -- Islam, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy -- managed to coexist in relative peace. It is only during the past century that competing nationalisms have led to persecution, ethnic cleansing, and mass murder. Emphasizing the importance of religion to nationalism as a symbol of collective identity that strengthens national identity, Velikonja notes that religious groups have a tendency to become isolated from one another. He believes Bosnia-Herze...

Framed by appropriate conceptual frameworks to define the contemporary dynamics of innovation in tourism, case studies supported by advanced quantitative methods and developed in rural and urban areas of Asia, Europe, and Africa are presented and discussed. The concept of smart specialization inspires the formulation of regional innovation policies and strategies, emphasizing the importance of endogenous resources and existing territorial capabilities. By exploring the diver...
