Der Überfall
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...
Tito and His Comrades
This landmark biography, now in English for the first time, reveals the life of one of the most powerful figures of the Cold War era. Josip Broz, nicknamed Tito, led Yugoslavia for nearly four decades with charisma, cunning, and an iron fist. An illuminating, definitive portrait of a complex man in turbulent times, a life as riveting as any John Le Carré plot.

Tito and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia
Few figures have dominated a nation's destiny as much as Marshal Tito of former Yugoslavia. For nearly thirty years he held together mutually hostile religious groups in a deeply divided country, but his death in 1980 rekindled centuries-old hatreds and by 1992 Yugoslavia ceased to exist. In this revealing biography, Richard West questions the full impact of Tito's reign of power and his implicit responsibility for the ensuing violent, bloody war in Bosnia. 'Excellent ... I recommend his book for those who already know about Yugoslavia and want food for thought about the future.' David Owen, Sunday Times 'Admirable ... Carefully researched and extremely readable.' Literary Review 'A passionate book, in which West's historical sense is interlaced with his own very intimate knowledge of Yugoslavia from the late 1940s on and of the poignancy of [subsequent] events.' Fergus Pyle, Irish Times 'Masterly'. Glasgow Herald
La storia contesa
«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 Cambridge History of Communism
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.
