How did an obscure agitator on the political fringes of early-20th-century Germany rise to become the supreme leader of the "Third Reich"? Unlike many other books that track Adolf Hitler's career after 1933, this book focuses on his formative period—immediately following World War I (1918-1924). The author, a veteran producer of historical documentaries, brings to life this era of political unrest and violent conflict, when forces on both the left and right were engaged in a desperate power struggle.

Мы знаем Уинстона Черчилля как ярчайшего политического и государственного деятеля, борца с нацизмом, наконец, лауреата Нобелевской премии по литературе. В ходе опроса, проведенного Би-би-си в 2002 году, англичане признали его величайшим британцем в истории. Однако Черчилль был прежде всего человеком своего времени, а значит, страстным защитником Британской империи и имперской идеи. Именно к этой стороне его политической деятельности, без которой портрет Черчилля был бы не полон, обращается известный британско-пакистанский писатель, историк, публицист и общественный деятель Тарик Али.

«Репортаж с петлей на шее» был написан известным чехословацким журналистом и антифашистом, активным участником Сопротивления Юлиусом Фучиком весной 1943 года в застенках пражского гестапо—за три месяца до казни, между избиениями, допросами и пытками. Тонкие листы папиросной бумаги и карандаш втайне передал ему тюремный надзиратель Адольф Колинский, с риском для жизни помогавший чешским коммунистам. Завершенную книгу удалось по частям вынести из тюрьмы. В 1945 году освобожденная из концлагеря жена Фучика Густа собрала все спрятанные листы и опубликовала их.

In a time when the Romans sought to add the British Isles to their ever-growing empire, she stood as the last line of defense between her tribe and total subjugation. And so, with nothing left to lose, she did what few had ever dared: she led her people in open revolt against the mightiest empire on earth.

Лев Троцкий не исчезает из нашей исторической памяти. Выдающийся революционный деятель и талантливый автор, он был движущей силой потрясений, которые в значительной степени определили политические контуры XX века. Одновременно интеллектуал мирового уровня и человек, способный на узкий идеологический догматизм, эффективный военный стратег и искусный дипломат и политик, он не сумел разыграть свои карты в борьбе за власть против Сталина в 1920‑х годах.

Da giovane era stato il figlio ribelle e avventuroso di un padre violento e militarista; amava la musica, suonando e componendo con estro; leggeva instancabilmente, e la conversazione con i filosofi era nella sua giornata la cosa più importante; dichiarava il re «il primo servitore dello Stato» e la «corona un cappello che lascia passare la pioggia».
