When John Bercow retired as Speaker of the House of Commons on 31 October 2019, he had become one of the most recognisable and iconoclastic figures in British politics, occupying a ringside seat during one of the most febrile periods in modern British history. In his no-holds-barred memoir, he...

Deadliest Sea by Kalee Thompson is the spellbinding true story of the greatest rescue in US Coast Guard history. Recounting the tragic sinking of the fishing trawler, Alaska Ranger, in the Bering Sea and its remarkable aftermath in March 2008, Deadliest Sea is real-life action and adventure at its finest. The full story of an amazing rescue - where extraordinary courage, ingenuity, will, and technology combined in one of the most remarkable maritime feats ever recorded - has never been told before now. It’s The Perfect Storm meets Deadliest Catch.

The extraordinary authority of the US presidency has no parallel in the democratic world. Today, that authority resides in the hands of one man, Donald J. Trump. But rarely if ever has the nature of a president clashed more profoundly with the nature of the office. Unmaking the Presidency tells the story of the confrontation between a person and the institution he almost wholly embodies. From the moment of his inauguration, Trump has challenged our deepest expectations of the presidency. But what are those expectations, where did they come from, and how great is the damage?

Zeitzeugen des 20. Jahrhunderts: neunzehn faszinierende Interviews, geführt vom Journalisten André Groenewoud. Mit einem Vorwort von Guido Knopp. Bedeutende Zeitzeugen, deren persönliche Geschichten eng mit dem Weltgeschehen verknüpft sind, erzählen ihre Erlebnisse. Der Journalist André Groenewoud hat sie befragt: Wie fühlte sich der Navigator der "Enola Gay", als die Atombombe auf Hiroshima geworfen wurde - und wie Nobuo Miyake, ein Überlebender? Wie lebte Françoise Gilot mit Picasso und wie Rockefeller aus der einst reichsten Familie der Welt?

De aanslagen zoals in Parijs en Brussel zijn voor velen onbegrijpelijk. Wat kan mensen ertoe drijven om zichzelf en vele onschuldige omstaanders de dood in te jagen? Wat kan verklaren dat men bereid is om een dergelijk offer te brengen? Het ligt voor de hand dat de verklaring deels wordt gezocht in religie, niet in het minst omdat de daders zelf godsdienstige motieven inroepen. Voor vele gelovigen is dit een ongemakkelijke vaststelling. Door een selectieve lezing van hun heilige teksten zijn ze er immers van overtuigd dat hun God synoniem staat voor vrede en liefde. Zij draaien bovenstaande vraag dan ook om: Waarom in Gods naam?

Alaric Thain’s History of the 21st Century recounts the events of the pivotal 21st century in a way that can be understood by people of the 29th century, who live in what might considered a progressive utopia. Alaric Thain was born in 2064 but traveled extensively at relativistic speeds until he returned to Earth and wrote his seminal work in 2864. His point of view is unique as he is able both to understand the motivations of 21st-century humans and explain them to 29th-century humans.

James Verini arrived in Iraq in the summer of 2016 to write about life in the Islamic State. He stayed to cover the jihadis' last great stand, the Battle of Mosul, not knowing it would go on for nearly a year, nor that it would become, in the words of the Pentagon, "the most significant urban combat since WWII." They Will Have to Die Now takes the listener into the heart of the conflict against the most lethal insurgency of our time. We see unspeakable violence, improbable humanity, and occasional humor.

En högsommardag i början på juli 1973 försvann en 39-årig tvåbarnsmamma spårlöst från sitt hem i Trollbäcken - en villaförort ett par mil söder om Stockholm. En dryg månad senare anträffades hon mördad och nedgrävd i ett grustag tre mil från hemmet. Ett par veckor senare kunde gärningsmannen gripas, främst tack vare en överväldigande teknisk bevisning. I Nordisk kriminalkrönika berättar poliser själva om sina mest uppmärksammade, omskakande, och svåra fall. Nordisk Kriminalkrönika är ett historiskt verk.

Den 9 augusti 1984 lämnade Alf ett av vårt lands mest beryktade fängelser för en 48-timmars permission. Det skulle dock dröja betydligt längre, närmare ett halvt år, innan han återvände dit. Då med ytterligare sex års fängelse att lägga till de två år han höll på att avtjäna. För att få reda på vad detta berodde på får vi vända oss mot den stad dit Alf åkte, nämligen Malmö. I Nordisk kriminalkrönika berättar poliser själva om sina mest uppmärksammade, omskakande, och svåra fall. Nordisk Kriminalkrönika är ett historiskt verk.

"Vi befinner oss i den lilla byn Näset i Tornedalen ungefär mitt emellan Haparanda och Övertorneå. Det är torsdagen den 14 november 1975 och höstmörkret vilar tungt över dalen och det lilla samhället. Kung Bore skulle komma att spela en avgörande roll i nattens kommande händelser i den lilla byn, var det naturligtvis ingen som kunde förutse." I det lilla samhället Näset känner alla varandra. Det bor några hundra personer där, och det är sällan det händer något uppseendeväckande. På den lilla orten hyrde det dåtida postverket en liten utbyggnad i fru Karlssons villa, vari postkontoret låg.

På måndagsmorgonen den 9 januari 1967 anträffades tre män döda i Handens centrum strax sönder om Stockholm. Det var två polismän och en nattvakt. Alla hade skjutits till döds. Dådet väckte avsky och bestörtning och kraven från press och allmänhet var enhälliga. Brottet måste klaras upp!

Berättelserna och samlingarna är uttryck för den samtid som de skrevs i, och kan i enstaka fall ha föråldrat eller kontroversiellt innehåll.
