It’s almost impossible to imagine that unbridled hate and systematic violence could come for us or our families. But it has happened in our lifetimes in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. And it could happen here.

Summer, 1945. The war is over, and Germany has surrendered. Across Europe, the top surviving Nazis are being tracked down, arrested and imprisoned in a once-opulent Luxembourg hotel, on 24-hour suicide watch. Now, the Allies must decide what to do with them. After much deliberation, Britain, America, Russia and France agree that Hitler's high command must be formally tried. This will be an entirely new kind of trial, with utterly new charges: those of 'crimes against humanity' and 'genocide'. And before it can even take place, numerous crises and obstacles must be overcome.

Usama Bin Laden’s greatest fear was not capture or death, but the exposure of al-Qaeda’s secrets. At great risk to themselves and the entire mission, the US Special Operations Forces, who carried out the Abbottabad raid that killed Bin Laden, took an additional eighteen minutes to collect Bin Laden’s hard drives and thereby expose al-Qaeda’s secrets. In this ground-breaking book, Nelly Lahoud dives into Bin Laden’s files and meticulously distills the nearly six thousand pages of Arabic private communications.

Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism is a masterly history of these chaotic, tragic and above all futile conflicts, ranging with his usual excoriating accuracy from Mali to Pakistan, from Iraq to Yemen by way of Syria and Libya. Millions are dead, disabled or languish desperately far from their homes as the direct result of our blunders, bewilderment and outright malicious stupidity.

The West is in shock. Al-Qaeda has struck the US on 9/11, and thousands are dead. Within weeks, UK Special Forces enter the fray in Afghanistan alongside the CIA's Team Alpha and US troops. Victory is swift but fragile. Hundreds of jihadists surrender, and two operatives from Team Alpha enter Qala-i Jangi - the 'Fort of War' - to interrogate them.

A principios del siglo XX, con el mito de modernidad y progreso en el centro del discurso porfirista, un hecho cimbró la historia de México: entre el 13 y el 15 de mayo de 1911, alrededor de 300 chinos - cerca de la mitad de la colonia cantonesa de La Laguna - fueron masacrados por tropas revolucionarias y ciudadanos de Torreón.

This book reveals how China has used the US-led Global War on Terror as cover for its increasingly brutal suppression of the Uyghur people. China’s actions, it argues, have emboldened states around the globe to persecute ethnic minorities and severely repress domestic opposition in the name of combatting terrorism. Within weeks of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, the Chinese government announced that it faced a serious terrorist threat from its largely Muslim Uyghur ethnic minority.

La tragedia de un día. El drama de dos vidas. Dos niños inocentes, sin el calor de la familia y sin la protección de las instituciones. El 11 de diciembre de 1987, José Mari tenía trece años, y Víctor, once. Residían con su familia en la casa cuartel de la Guardia Civil de Zaragoza. Poco después de las seis de la mañana el edificio voló en pedazos. Solo una pared quedó en pie. En ella se apoyaban las camas de José Mari y Víctor, que, tras la explosión, despertaron para encontrarse sobre un abismo de escombros.

This is the first book-length survey of the Union's "hard war" against the people of the Confederacy.

De héroe a villano: Los 30 años de lucha contra la banda armada del comisario Enrique Pamies, "Lleida", que trabajó a las órdenes del PSOE y del PP. "La lucha antiterrorista supone andar descalzo por un filo que corta. En un lado está la legalidad y en el otro la ilegalidad. Para poder avanzar, unas veces hay que apoyar el pie en uno de los lados y otras en el otro. Es mentira que solo con el Estado de derecho se acaba con el terrorismo. Quien diga lo contrario falta a la verdad o no sabe de lo que habla."

Vehement widerspricht Andreas von Bülow der offiziellen Version der Anschläge vom 11. September: Ohne geheimdienstliche Unterstützung war eine solche Operation nicht durchzuführen. Seine brisanten Thesen sind ein Angriff auf die Verlogenheit der CIA. Nur Stunden nach dem Terroranschlag vom 11. September hatte die US-Regierung Fotos und Steckbriefe aller Attentäter, wusste sie Bescheid über alle Drahtzieher und Hintermänner. Und blitzartig war auch Präsident George Bushs Strategie gegen die Mächte des Bösen fertig. Zufall? Bülow, früherer Bundesminister, zweifelt die offizielle Version vehement an.

As the first decade of the 21st century has made brutally clear, the very definitions of war and the enemy have changed almost beyond recognition. Threats to security are now as likely to come from armed propagandists, popular militias, or mercenary organizations as they are from conventional armies backed by nation-states. In this timely book, national security expert Max G. Manwaring explores a little-understood actor on the stage of irregular warfare - the gang.

The Ticket Collector from Belarus tells the remarkable story of two interwoven journeys. Ben-Zion Blustein and Andrei Sawoniuk were childhood companions in 1930s Domachevo, once a holiday and health resort in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and then a struggling township in Belarus. During the events which followed its Nazi occupation in 1942, they became the bitterest of enemies. After the war, Ben-Zion made his way to Israel, and ‘Andrusha the bastard’ found work as a London Transport ticket collector.

Santa messa per i miei fucilati è una testimonianza pressoché unica delle rappresaglie compiute dall'esercito italiano nel 1942-43 nei territori occupati della Slovenia e della Croazia. Il diario è stato scritto giorno dopo giorno da don Pietro Brignoli, un cappellano militare al seguito delle truppe italiane che nell'aprile del 1941 avevano invaso il Regno di Jugoslavia. Nelle pagine del suo quaderno Brignoli registra scrupolosamente le quotidiane fucilazioni di civili e presunti partigiani, eseguite spesso in maniera del tutto arbitraria.

The Nuremberg Interviews reveals the chilling innermost thoughts of the former Nazi officials under indictment at the famous postwar trial.

Depuis 2015 la menace terroriste nous est devenue familière, voire ordinaire. Si l'occident avait déjà été violemment touché en 2001, l'histoire du djihadisme remonte à bien plus loin. Comment le terrorisme islamiste est-il apparu ? Quel rôle a joué l'occident en utilisant ce phénomène contre le nationalisme panarabique pendant la guerre froide ? Comment l'Arabie Saoudite diffuse-t-elle les idées salafistes ? Quel rôle ont joué les Frères musulmans ?

The 9/11 Commission Report is the official report of the events leading up to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Adherents of the 9/11 Truth movement, however, dispute the mainstream account of the September 11 attacks of 2001. The group disputes the commonly accepted account Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airliners, crashed them into the Pentagon and New York's Twin Towers, where the crashes led to their collapse.

Too often over the past several years, American communities have felt the wrenching pain of domestic terrorism. Black church members slaughtered during their bible study in Charleston. A synagogue in Pittsburgh targeted for supporting immigrants. A gunman spraying bullets at an El Paso Walmart to target Latinos. It goes against everything our country strives to stand for in the world, and it poses a direct challenge to America’s national security, our democracy, and our national unity.

As white supremacy, ultra-nationalism, rabid misogyny, and anti-immigrant fervor coalesce, a new and uniquely American form of fascism looms.
