Well-considered answers to the many questions raised by the situation in Iraq, past and present, are rare. This first comprehensive, thematically organised, bibliography devoted to Iraq is based on the full Index Islamicus database and is drawn from a wide variety of European-language journals and books. Featuring an extensive introduction to the subject and its literature by Peter Sluglett, this bibliography will help readers to find their way through the massive secondary literature now available. Following the pattern established by the Index Islamicus, both journal articles and book publications are included, as well as important internet resources. The editors have taken care to add much new material to bring its coverage up to date, and supplement the previously published volumes, while the most important and/or influential publications are conveniently highlighted in the introduction. An indispensable gateway for all those with a more than superficial interest in what is, and what has been, happening in this nation so much the focus of attention today.

This updated edition of Secret Affairs covers the momentous events of the past year in the Middle East and at home in the UK. It reveals the unreported attempts by Britain to cultivate relations with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt after the fall of Mubarak, the military intervention on the side of Libyan rebel forces which include pro-al-Qaeda elements, and the ongoing reliance on the region's ultimate fundamentalist state, Saudi Arabia, to safeguard its interest in the Middle East. It illuminates path of Salman Abedi, the bomber who attacked Manchester in May 2017, and his terror network: how he fought in Libya in 2011 as part of a group of fighters which the UK allowed to leave the country to go and battle against Gadafi to topple him. In this ground-breaking book, Mark Curtis reveals the covert history of British collusion with radical Islamic and terrorist groups. Secret Affairs shows how governments since the 1940s have connived with militant forces to control oil resources and overthrow governments. The story of how Britain has helped nurture the rise of global terrorism has never been told.
«Un libro che tutti dovrebbero leggere». Carlo Rovelli Dopo gli orrori della seconda guerra mondiale, con l’istituzione nel 1945 delle Nazioni Unite allo scopo di mantenere la pace, la guerra è stata bandita dalla politica internazionale. Uniche due eccezioni a tale divieto: il diritto all’autodifesa o un’azione bellica su mandato del Consiglio di sicurezza dell’ONU. Tuttavia, la realtà è stata tragicamente ben diversa e la responsabilità è in massima parte dell’Occidente e del suo strapotere militare. Come documenta con rigorosa chiarezza lo storico Daniele Ganser in questo libro, negli ultimi settant’anni sono stati i paesi della NATO – la più grande alleanza militare...
Der Sturz autoritärer Herrscher in zahlreichen arabischen Staaten schuf eine neue sicherheitspolitische Umgebung vor den Toren Europas. Diese Umbrüche führten nicht nur zu einer Aufwertung extremistischer Gruppierungen, sondern eröffneten ihnen einen noch nie dagewesenen Handlungsspielraum. Der Krieg gegen das Assad-Regime in Syrien und das entstandene Sicherheitsvakuum wurden zu einer Anlaufstelle für den internationalen Dschihad und zogen tausende Kämpfer aus der arabischen Welt, aber auch aus Europa an. Auf diese neue Dynamik müssen Regierungen mit vorhandenen wie auch neuen „Werkzeugen“ reagieren. Auf Grundlage der Erfahrungswerte im Umgang mit Extremismus in muslimischen und westlichen Ländern wird der Versuch unternommen, effektive Maßnahmen und Instrumente zur Prävention von Radikalisierung, insbesondere in Europa, zu finden.

Kniha švýcarského historika na příkladu 13 zemí popisuje, jak byly v minulosti a jsou i v přítomnosti vedeny nezákonné války a opakovaně jsou porušovány zásady vyslovené v Chartě OSN, a tím je záměrně sabotován zákaz vedení válek. Jde o otřesnou, nanejvýš aktuální výpověď.
