Quick Fixes
Drugs are ubiquitous in the past and present of capitalist society. What can they tell us about our society and economy? Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the 21st century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified “war” on drugs. How did we get here? Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America’s passionate love and intense hatr...

Histories of Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Australia
Histories of Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Australia provides a history of fascist movements and anti-fascist resistance in Australia over the past century. In recent years, the far right has become a resurgent force across the globe, resulting in populist parties securing electoral victories, social movements organising on the streets, and acts of right-wing terrorism. Australia has not been immune to this. However, this is not merely a recent phenomenon; it has a long history of fascist and far-right groups and individuals. These groups have attempted to situate themselves within the wider settler colonial political landscape, often portraying themselves as the inheritors of a violent and ex...
Il sogno anticomunista. Neofascisti italiani in America Latina (1977-1982)
A partire da una corposa documentazione proveniente da Cile, Argentina, Paraguay, Stati Uniti e Italia, questo volume si propone di far luce sulle relazioni intercorse tra le ultime dittature militari latinoamericane e i militanti di Ordine Nuovo e Avanguardia Nazionale, principali sigle del neofascismo italiano nonché maggiori responsabili della strategia della tensione. Dal 1977 in poi, molti neofascisti provenienti delle due organizzazioni si diressero in America Latina dove, nel corso degli anni, poterono contare sulla protezione di Cile, Argentina, Bolivia e Paraguay. Attraverso un’analisi complessiva, questo volume tenta di dimostrare come non sia possibile considerare la migrazione...
The War in the West: A New History
From Hitler's invasion of Russia, America's entry into the conflict and the devastating Thousand Bomber Raids over Germany, to the long grinding struggle in the deserts of North Africa and the crucial Battle of the Atlantic, the middle passage of the Second World War was all about turning back the Nazi tide. These catalytic moments would come to define the course of the war and its outcome. They encompass the most vicious fighting, the most hair-raising strategy and the most breathtaking bravery. Across the battlefronts on land, sea and air, to the streets, fields and factories of Britain, America, Africa and Europe, Holland shows, in his own dramatic and compelling style, how the fortunes of war were changed and what happened when the Allies were finally able to fight back . . .

The Devil's Agent
The Devil’s Agent: The Life and Crimes of Nazi Klaus Barbie is a captivating and unique book that reveals the dark secrets and mindset of the Butcher of Lyon, his work as a U.S. and West German spy, his network of escaped Nazis in South America, and his nefarious connections with mercenaries, cocaine traffickers and military dictators. During 1942-1944, Klaus Barbie was a mid-level Nazi officer in charge of the Gestapo HQ in Lyon, France. His treatment of prisoners ranged from banal indifference to pleasure as he sadistically tortured and murdered his victims. After the war, what set him apart was the public role he played as an unscrupulous businessman and adviser to military rulers, and ...

Die Wirklichkeit der Propaganda des Helden Che Guevara ist nur ans Licht gekommen, als ich angefangen habe, nach meinen Geburtseltern zu suchen. Mein erster Schock war der, dass er noch lebendig war!

The Skorzeny Papers
In The Skorzeny Papers, the author reveals the details of the post-World War II activities of former SS Commando Otto Skorzeny. Considered by British and American Allied forces as “the most dangerous man in Europe,” Skorzeny planned and led numerous daring missions throughout the war. The story in this book was extracted by Major Ganis from Skorzeny’s personal papers. The evidence reveals that Skorzeny gradually and methodically became involved in US intelligence and covert operations during the Cold War. But Skorzeny’s network had a greater point of destiny in November 1963, when it was utilized to carry out the most tragic mission in history. This story would have been lost had Skorzeny not kept meticulous records of his businesses and contacts, which were fronts for US covert activity. In the end, The Skorzeny Papers reveal the intriguing web of secret organizations and people linked to the events culminating in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Germanistik in Lateinamerika
Lateinamerika und die deutschsprachigen Länder Mitteleuropas stehen seit langem in vielseitigen und dynamischen Beziehungen. Dieses enge Miteinander hat sich maßgeblich auch auf Geschichte und Gegenwart der institutionellen Germanistik in Lateinamerika ausgewirkt. Dabei gibt es allerdings länderspezifische Unterschiede: während man im Falle einiger Standorte nur ansatzweise von einer etablierten Germanistik sprechen kann, ist sie in anderen durchaus breit aufgestellt. Die bestehende Vielfalt nachzuzeichnen ist Hauptanliegen dieses Sammelbandes. Die Idee für die Publikation entstand während des 16. Kongresses des Lateinamerikanischen Germanistenverbandes (ALEG) in Buenos Aires im Dezemb...
