Im Gegensatz zum weitverbreiteten Irrglaube sind die Auswirkungen des Bauernaufstandes von 1524 bis 1526 auch in unserer heutigen Gesellschaft noch erkennbar. Was damals wirklich geschah und wie dieser Aufstand zu einem der tragenden Momente der deutschen Geschichte wird, zeigt dieses Hörbuch.

Gale Molly har længe prædiket for beboerne i Ballynockanor, at livet i den lille landsby snart vil ændre sig, og at de fattige og undertrykte irere vil blive løftet ud af deres elendighed. Da den fremmede Joseph dukker op på selve juleaften, udråber Molly ham til byens frelser og frihedens sendebud. Men kan én mand antænde det oprør, der skal til for at give irerne frihed? Er dette starten på et irsk oprør eller er det et varsel om den ulykke, der vil overrumple dem alle? Joseph selv har sine egne grunde til at opsøge byen.

Natten mellem 6. og 7. november 1917 kuppede Lenin og bolsjevikkerne sig til magten i Petrograd.

Historiker, dr.phil. og forfatter Bent Jensen skriver fortællingen om Zardømmets fald og bolsjevikkernes vej til magten i et uroligt og tumultarisk Rusland.

En el año 1917, tuvo lugar en Rusia un acontecimiento tan extraordinariamente singular que por sí solo ha robado protagonismo en los libros de historia a la más espantosa tragedia experimentada hasta entonces por el continente europeo: la Primera Guerra Mundial; una guerra que aún se hallaba en todo su apogeo. El envejecido y anacrónico régimen zarista se mostró incapaz de acometer los cambios que su sociedad exigía.

Gore Vidal has been described as the last “noble defender” of the American republic. In Imperial America, Vidal steals the thunder of a right wing America - those who have camouflaged their extremist rhetoric in the Old Glory and the Red, White, and Blue - by demonstrating that those whose protest arbitrary and secret government, those who defend the bill of rights, those who seek to restrain America’s international power, are the true patriots.

Written in the form of a letter to a Frenchman, Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France is an impassioned attack on the French Revolution and its hasty destruction of the Church, the old elites, and the Crown. Burke tackles the new republic and its allegiance to principles such as liberty and equality, as well as its failure to recognize the complexities of human nature, society, and wisdom accumulated over time, contending that gradual change and adjustment is far better than immediate upheaval.

Blending narrative with analysis, Peter Davies explores a time of obscene opulence, mass starvation, and ground-breaking ideals; where the streets of Paris ran red with blood, and the numbers requiring execution precipitated the invention of the guillotine. Davies brings the subject up to date by considering the legacy of the revolution and how it continues to resonate in today’s France.

The first and only successful slave revolution in the Americas began in 1791 when thousands of brutally exploited slaves rose up against their masters on Saint-Domingue, the most profitable colony in the 18th-century Atlantic world. Within a few years, the slave insurgents forced the French administrators of the colony to emancipate them, a decision ratified by revolutionary Paris in 1794. This victory was a stunning challenge to the order of master/slave relations throughout the Americas, including the Southern United States.

The Reign of Terror continues to fascinate scholars as one of the bloodiest periods in French history, when the Committee of Public Safety strove to defend the first Republic from its many enemies, creating a climate of fear and suspicion in revolutionary France. R. R. Palmer's fascinating narrative follows the Committee's deputies individually and collectively, recounting and assessing their tumultuous struggles in Paris and their repressive missions in the provinces. 

Between 1793 and 1794, thousands of French citizens were imprisoned and hundreds sent to the guillotine by a powerful dictatorship that claimed to be acting in the public interest. Only a few years earlier, revolutionaries had proclaimed a new era of tolerance, equal justice, and human rights. How and why did the French Revolution's lofty ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity descend into violence and terror? 

Andre Scheepers grew up on a farm in Rhodesia, learning about the bush from his African childhood friends, before joining the army. A quiet, introspective thinker, Andre started out as a trooper in the SAS before being commissioned into the Rhodesian Light Infantry Commandos, where he was engaged in fireforce combat operations. He then rejoined the SAS. Andre writes vividly about his experiences, his emotions, and his state of mind during the war, and reflects candidly on what he learned and how war has shaped his life since. 

George Washington claimed that anyone who attempted to provide an accurate account of the war for independence would be accused of writing fiction. At the time, no one called it the “American Revolution”: Former colonists still regarded themselves as Virginians or Pennsylvanians, not Americans, while John Adams insisted that the British were the real revolutionaries, for attempting to impose radical change without their colonists’ consent. With The Cause, Ellis takes a fresh look at the events between 1773 and 1783.
