Margaret Thatcher, famously known as the “Iron Lady” due to her tough-as-nails personality, was not only Britain’s first female prime minister, but one of the most influential political leaders of the 20th century.

Although she had her problems along the way—dealing with the Cold War, incursions at the Falkland Islands, and attacks by the IRA, at one point almost losing her life in the process—she rose to the occasion.

Die erste umfassende kritische Darstellung von Bill Gates und seiner Stiftung. Der Imagewechsel vom skrupellosen Kapitalisten und rücksichtslosen Microsoft-Chef zum wohltätigen Gutmenschen ist Bill Gates mit Bravour gelungen.

Grigori Rasputín tomó por sorpresa a sus contemporáneos. Más de un siglo después de su violenta muerte, su biografía sigue espantando y fascinando. Nacido en un pequeño pueblo de Siberia Occidental, empezó a tener visiones místicas y borracheras en la adolescencia. Luego de un paso por la secta de los flagelantes, desarrolló el carisma que le hizo ganarse la confianza de la zarina Alejandra, encargándose de las "curaciones" de su hijo hemofílico y poco a poco ascendiendo en influencia sobre la Dinastía Románov.

Sin dudas su liderazgo jugó un papel importante en la cohesión del esfuerzo internacional contra el nazismo.

The Richard Nixon Stein remembers and lovingly describes has almost nothing to do with the Richard Nixon as portrayed in most media. In Stein’s view, Richard Nixon was a born peacemaker, a saint. Stein believes Nixon was tortured, abused, beat up by the Beautiful People, but through it all, above all, he was a peacemaker, a trait he inherited from his Quaker mother.

As a child, Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop, along with her five brothers, was raised to revere the tribal legends of the Alsop and Roosevelt families. Her parents’ marriage was not what either of her parents had imagined it would be. Her mother’s strict Catholicism and her father’s restless ambition collided to create a strangely muted and ominous world, one that mirrored the whispered conversations in the living room as the power brokers of Washington came and went through their side door. Through it all, her mother, trained to keep secrets as a decoding agent with MI5, said very little.
