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...

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.

America and Guerrilla Warfare
On December 26, 2004, a massive tsunami triggered by an underwater earthquake pummeled the coasts of Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and other countries along the Indian Ocean. With casualties as far away as Africa, the aftermath was overwhelming: ships could be spotted miles inland; cars floated in the ocean; legions of the unidentified deadÑan estimated 225,000Ñwere buried in mass graves; relief organizations struggled to reach rural areas and provide adequate aid for survivors. Shortly after this disaster, researchers from around the world traveled to the regionÕs most devastated areas, observing and documenting the tsunamiÕs impact. The Indian Ocean Tsunami: The Global Response to a ...
Civil Society, Conflicts and the Politicization of Human Rights
This publication explores violence, conflict and peace. It focuses on the non-governmental component in ethno-policitcal conflicts. Civil society actors, or "conflict society organizations" (CoSOs), are increasingly central in view of the complexity of contemporary ethno-political conflicts. CoSOs are key players in ethno-political conflicts, both as violators and as promoters of human rights. Nevertheless, the precise relationships underpinning the human rights-civil society-conflict nexus have not been fully examined. This volume analyses the impact of civil society on ethno-political conflicts through their human rights-related activities, and identifies the means to strengthen the complementarity between civil society and international governmental actors in promoting peace. These aims are addressed in case studies on Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Turkey's Kurdish question, and Israel-Palestine.
Necropolis
Boris Pahor spent the last fourteen months of World War II as a prisoner and medic in the Nazi camps at Bergen-Belsen, Harzungen, Dachau and Natzweiler-Struthof. Twenty years later, as he visited the preserved remains of a camp, his experiences came back to him: the emaciated prisoners; the ragged, zebra-striped uniforms; the infirmary reeking of dysentery and death. Necropolis is Pahor’s stirring account of providing medical aid to prisoners in the face of the utter brutality of the camps – and coming to terms with the guilt of surviving when millions did not. It is a classic account of the Holocaust and a powerful act of remembrance.
