Soy Eufrosina Cruz y nací en la montaña zapoteca. A los 27 años gané la presidencia de mi pueblo, pero no me dejaron gobernar porque era mujer. En ese momento supe que, para cambiar mi vida y la de las mujeres indígenas, debía transformar la ley más importante de mi país. Desde entonces, mi lucha ha sido para que los pueblos indígenas y afro no sean considerados menores de edad y para que las mujeres no sean personas de segunda.

So who really spearheaded India's Freedom Struggle? Millions of ordinary people—farmers, labourers, homemakers, forest produce gatherers, artisans and others—stood up to the British.

In The Last Heroes, these footsoldiers of Indian freedom tell us their stories.

"Ich hatte einen herrlichen Monat - ich habe ein Häuschen gebaut und ein Buch diktiert: 200 Ziegelsteine und 2000 Wörter am Tag", erzählte Churchill Stanley Baldwin über seine Parlamentsferien 1928. Entstanden ist ein Buch, in dem die Erzählfreude des Autors auf jeder Seite spürbar ist: Churchills Erinnerungen an seine ersten dreißig Lebensjahre, geschrieben aus einer "jeweils meinem Lebensalter angemessenen Sichtweise". Tatsächlich schönt Churchill nichts - weder seine miserablen Leistungen in der Schule noch seine peinliche Kriegsbegeisterung an der Militärakademie.

In 1982, amid the nuclear paranoia that engulfed the US and the Soviet Union, Samantha Smith, a fifth grader from Manchester, Maine, wrote a letter to the Kremlin asking the Soviet leader if he was going to start a war.

In January 2020, Admiral Brett P. Giroir, MD, was among the first federal leaders tapped to handle the reintegration of US citizens from Wuhan, China, in the earliest days of what became the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ultimately, Giroir would be called to serve on the White House Coronavirus Task Force under President Donald Trump.

Era un asesor cercano al presidente Salvador Allende y no estaba dispuesto a abandonarlo en ese momento.

Alexander Hamilton: Founding Father chronicles the remarkable life of one of America's most controversial and significant founding fathers. From his humble beginnings in the British West Indies to his eventual rise to power in the United States government, Hamilton's story is one of perseverance and ambition.

After his sudden rise to power in the summer of 2019 amid the Brexit deadlock, Boris Johnson presided over the most dramatic period of British history in almost a century. From the controversial prorogation of Parliament in August 2019 to the historic landslide victory later that year, the agonising upheaval of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic—and the scandals unleashed by both—the Afghanistan crisis, and the conflict in Ukraine, Johnson's premiership was more turbulent than any other in living memory.

José Martí (1853–1895) was the founding hero of Cuban independence. In all of modern Latin American history, arguably only the “Great Liberator” Simón Bolívar rivals Martí in stature and legacy. Today he is revered by both the Castro regime and the Cuban exile community, whose shared veneration of the “apostle” of freedom has led to his virtual apotheosis as a national saint.

Wilfred Petersen var fører for en revolutionær politisk sekt med få hundrede medlemmer - men alligevel fik han afgørende indflydelse på dansk nazismes historie. ”Følg Wilfred!” er fortællingen om Wilfred Petersen og hans folk fra mellemkrigstiden og ind i besættelsestiden. Det var et radikaliseret miljø, hvor gemen kriminalitet og fanatisme gik hånd i hånd med aktivisme. Wilfred Petersen var så uregerlig, at han ikke kunne sættes i bås. På den ene side var han en antitysk modstandsmand og på den anden side sendte han sine folk ud for at jage og afpresse jøder.

Hvem er personen bag den senere så markante statsmand, og hvad er han påvirket af? Anders Fogh Rasmussen giver et meget personligt portræt af sine forældre. Han skriver om at føle sig som en bondeknold på Viborg Katedralskole, men ender alligevel med at indtage talerstolen. Han fortæller om kærligheden til Anne Mette og om at være "weekendfar". Fogh skriver om sit liberale livssyn, der er formet af bonde- og andelsbevægelsen, modstandsbevægelsen og ender med at formulere sit frihedsbegreb inspireret af Grundtvig og Kierkegaard.
