Cuando se temía una invasión por parte de Estados Unidos, el presidente Plutarco Elías Calles emprendió una vasta obra de reconstrucción material e institucional. Hombres como Alberto J. Pani, Luis Montes de Oca, Manuel Gómez Morin, Moisés Sáenz y Gonzalo Robles, entre otros, se encargaron de realizar esa obra creativa con tiempo limitado y pocos recursos, pero también con claridad, profesionalismo y patriotismo.

Da han bliver anholdt i lufthavnen på øen Isla Margerita i juli 1998, har han 3,5 kilo kokain på sig. Foran ham ligger tre år og otte måneders helvede i San Antonio, et af verdens mest brutale fængsler – og da han ved hjælp af familie og venner overlever og vender hjem igen, er de psykiske og fysiske ar store. Mads Bjørn-Nielsen (født 1970) tilbragte næsten fire år i et af verdens hårdeste fængsler for narkosmugling. I dag holder han foredrag om narkokriminalitet for unge.

Quando entrambi sono ancora membri del Partito Socialista, prima della Grande Guerra, Mussolini trova già nel futuro segretario un tenace oppositore, senza sapere che, in seguito, proprio lui, soprannominato "tempesta" dai compagni di partito, diventerà un ostacolo insormontabile per la sua sfrenata ambizione. Il loro antagonismo si rinnova un decennio dopo e culmina il 30 maggio 1924, nell'aula della Camera, dove Matteotti denuncia le violenze perpetrate dagli squadristi fascisti durante le ultime elezioni che hanno portato Mussolini alla guida di un governo di coalizione.

Hedgewar chronicles the untold story of the enigmatic founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), whose vision for India's cultural revival continues to shape the nation's socio-political landscape. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, this biography traces Hedgewar's journey from an orphaned child in colonial India to the mastermind behind one of the world's most secretive organizations.

In 1894, a remarkably self-possessed American woman, with no formal education to speak of, stood before a British court seeking damages for libel from the trustees of the British Museum. It was yet another stop along the unpredictable route that was Victoria Woodhull’s life. Born dirt-poor in an obscure Ohio settlement, Woodhull was the daughter of an illiterate mother entranced by the fad of Mesmerism—a therapeutic pseudoscience—and a swindler father whose cons exploited his two daughters.

La vie de Charles de Gaulle est comme un fil tendu qui nous relie au XIXe siècle finissant, nous fait comprendre les tragédies du XXe siècle et ouvre sur celles que demain nous réserve. Dans une brève allusion à son enfance, l'auteur des Mémoires de guerre évoque « une certaine fierté anxieuse » qu'il éprouvait à l'égard de la France.

Louis XIII et Richelieu : c'est tout le cadre historique des Trois Mousquetaires qui nous est raconté dans cette biographie, écrite avec toute la fougue et toute la gaieté de Dumas. Biographie qui commence par une fessée, celle que Henri IV fait donner à son fils, et Alexandre Dumas n'en est pas mécontent ; et d'une certaine façon ce sont les fessées politiques que Richelieu donnera à Louis XIII durant tout son ministère que Dumas nous raconte.

This autobiography is told through the eyes of a child growing into a teen from the last gasping thousand-year empire of Hitler into the equally evil government of East Germany, a life that had no normal childhood, tears, and fears of no future. Only being allowed to migrate to the US at age 21 changed the author's life.

He wasn’t born to rule — he was born to ignite. This is the epic, explosive, and relentlessly human story of Alexander the Great, the man who almost conquered the world through sheer willpower. From a boy raised on Homer and prophecy to a general who destroyed empires and demanded worship, ALEXANDER: The Man Who Couldn’t Stop is a firestorm biography that walks the razor’s edge between genius and madness. Written with bite, clarity, and a streak of dark humor, this book doesn’t worship Alexander — it dissects him. Because he wasn’t a god. He was something scarier. He was human. With no brakes.

Die Kreuzfahrer, die zurück in ihre Heimatdörfer humpelten und vertrocknete Palmblätter aus dem Heiligen Land auf die Altäre der Kirchen legten, hatten 1099 gesiegt: Jerusalem war in christlicher Hand. Was zählte der gemeinsame Glaube, wenn es um Gold und Macht ging?

This isn’t a biography. It’s a deep-dive into the man who fused warlord power with priestly authority and accidentally programmed Western civilization. Through brutal conquest and divine branding, he became more than king—he became the template. Popes would crown in his shadow. Emperors would copy his crown. Napoleon would steal his vibe. And every modern system of power would inherit his logic. This is the story of how one man merged Church and State into a single executable file—and why we’re still running his code.

Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands is the bold, witty memoir of Mary Seacole, a Jamaican nurse and businesswoman who defied racism and sexism to care for soldiers during the Crimean War in the 1850s. Writing in her own voice, Seacole recounts her travels across the Caribbean, Central America, and Europe, sharing vivid stories of healing, hardship, and independence.

James VI & I, who died 400 years ago, was one of Britain’s most consequential and interesting monarchs, not least in creating the British monarchy itself by joining the English and Scottish thrones. A major intellectual, James's preoccupations ranged from witchcraft and theological controversy to hunting, diplomacy, poetry and sartorial fashion. The 'Mirror of Great Britain' was a spectacular jewel that gave symbolic endorsement to James's vision of British union, but mirrors themselves supplied James with one of his favourite literary metaphors.

Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle were thrown together by the challenges of war. They incarnated the resistance of Britain and France to the existential threat from Nazi Germany, and their ultimate victory over Hitler has ensured their achievements will never be forgotten. But, as The Last Titans: Churchill and de Gaulle shows, that is only a small part of a complex story. Both men influenced their countries, and the world around them, long after the war was won.

Los malos de la historia: Malinche «Empezaré por una advertencia. Si el lector busca entre estas páginas una biografía del tipo: "La Malinche nació en el año tal, cursó sus estudios en la escuela primaria Herederos de Chimalpopoca, se graduó con honores, amó con pasión incondicional y desmedida a Hernán Cortés y fue madre del primer mestizo de América", mejor devuelva este libro al estante.

History remembers her as the gracious wife standing beside Lyndon B. Johnson, but Lady Bird Johnson was much more than just the period of time that she spent at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the White House. Born in the piney woods of East Texas to a wealthy but troubled family, Lady Bird overcame tragedy to become one of the most accomplished women of her generation. By age 22, she had earned two college degrees and harbored dreams of becoming a globe-trotting journalist.

The nineteenth century was an exciting time of initiative and enterprise around the world. If John D. Rockefeller was creating unimagined wealth in the United States that he would put to the service of the nation, a Parsi family with humble roots was doing the same in India.

Winston Churchill was born into a wealthy aristocratic family. He grew up with stories of his ancestor, John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough, who led the British army to triumph against the French and Bavarians in the War of the Spanish Succession.
