You think you know Winston Churchill? You've seen the statues, heard the quotes, watched the films. You know about the cigars and the brandy and the V-sign and the bulldog jaw. What you don't know is how he worked. What drove him. What broke him. And what he rebuilt himself into, again, across nine decades of failure and triumph and failure again.

In May 1877, Ulysses S. Grant, after two terms in the White House, embarked on an extraordinary three-year journey that defined a pivotal moment in the Gilded Age. Driven by a lifelong passion for travel and unburdened by a fixed itinerary, Grant set out to explore the world, his wanderlust sustained by modest means. Louis L. Picone’s Ulysses’s Odyssey: Ulysses S. Grant’s World Tour at the Dawn of American Empire masterfully chronicles this unprecedented adventure, illuminating its historical significance and Grant’s enduring legacy.

Otto von Bismarck was not the kind of man who waited for history to happen. He made it happen, and he didn't much care whose feelings got hurt along the way. Bismarck was the pragmatic Prussian statesman who engineered Germany creation as a unified nation through Realpolitik—the unsentimental art of doing whatever it takes to get results. While other politicians speechified and moralized, Bismarck was already three moves ahead, turning all of Europe into his personal chessboard.

El ducado de Medinaceli es uno de los más antiguos de España. Fue creado en 1479 por los Reyes Católicos y sus descendientes, a lo largo de más de quinientos años, lo han mantenido y engrandecido con palacios tan emblemáticos como el Hospital de Tavera en Toledo o la Casa de Pilatos en Sevilla. Sin embargo, el siglo XX estuvo lleno de vicisitudes para este linaje. El XVII duque, Luis Jesús Fernández de Córdoba, se casó dos veces y a su muerte dividió para siempre el patrimonio familiar.

In historical surveys, Andrew Johnson has been consistently ranked as one of the worst presidents for well over 150 years. But despite his bad reputation, there is much more to the life of Andrew Johnson than these rankings suggest. Andrew Johnson was a man who had long walked a political tightrope. He was a Southern Democrat who opposed the Democrat-dominated Southern states when they seceded from the Union—in fact, he was the only Southern senator to remain loyal to the United States.

Judge Gilbert Merritt and his circle of young lawyers and journalists in Nashville were among the South’s earliest Kennedy Democrats in the late 1950s.

As a young legal scholar in his twenties, Merritt was one of the nation’s youngest U.S.

Il mondo sulle spalle. È il peso che Giorgio Napolitano ha spesso sentito su di sé durante la sua lunga vita politica, piena di battaglie appassionate, cause giuste e sbagliate e strade nuove da esplorare. E che, insieme alla gratificazione per l'intenso rapporto con gli italiani, ha avvertito ancor di più quando è diventato Presidente della Repubblica e poi è stato rieletto per un secondo mandato. Ma una sensazione simile l'ha talvolta provata anche il figlio Giulio, crescendo con un padre dal rigore fuori dal comune e seguendo il suo percorso con curiosità e partecipazione.
