You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first 'independence generation'.

Es común que los pueblos tumben los monumentos de héroes antiguos. Pero, para Nicolás Pernett, el problema no está en las estatuas, sino en los pedestales, donde se escriben las exageradas alabanzas que elevan a las figuras del pasado por encima del resto de mortales. En este riguroso y divertido libro de historia de Colombia, el autor nos invita a bajar del pedestal de la memoria a los presidentes de la nación, cuestionando su legado con datos que suelen omitirse en la historia tradicional, desde antes de la Independencia hasta nuestros días.

Al verlo en el centro del Salón de Tesorería, un magno espacio construido para la realeza española del siglo XVI, me di cuenta de que no hablaba como presidente, político o siquiera líder social, sino como un pastor espiritual que se dirige a su grey. La primera vez que fui a la mañanera, vi a Andrés Manuel López Obrador de una manera distinta. No era aquel que conocí en 1995, en Villahermosa,platicando sobre el futuro del movimiento social que ya encabezaba. Tampoco era el hombre que tomaba pozos petroleros ni el candidato en permanente campaña.

During the first 15 years of colonial rule (1898–1913), a small group of Americans controlled the headhunting tribes who were wards of the nascent colonial government.

Battling colleagues and supervisors over their treatment of the mountain people, Early also had run-ins with lowland Filipino leaders like Manuel Quezon.

Em novembro de 2014, a família Biden se reuniu para o Dia de Ação de Graças. A data marcava uma tradição que os Biden celebram há mais de quarenta anos, uma pausa no que se tornou uma vida agitada, repleta de compromissos e submetida ao incessante julgamento público. O feriado, portanto, sempre foi uma folga bem-vinda, um momento de refletir sobre as bênçãos e provações que o ano havia trazido e sobre o que o futuro lhes reservaria.

Gamal Abdel Nasser, the larger-than-life Egyptian president who ruled for eighteen years from the coup d'etat he led in 1952, is best known for wresting the Suez Canal from the British and French empires and befriending such iconic revolutionaries as Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Yet there is a darker side to Nasser's regime. He was a brutal authoritarian, whose legacy lies at the heart of the violent and repressive order that still prevails throughout the Arab world today. In We Are Your Soldiers, Alex Rowell focuses on seven countries to reassess Nasser's impact in the Arab sphere.

Racked by rheumatism, a ticking embolism, pathogens in his blood, a bad leg, and a bullet in his chest from an assassination attempt, in the last two years of his life, he went from the great disappointment of being denied his own regiment in World War I, leading a suicide mission of Rough Riders against the Germans, to the devastating news that his son Quentin had been shot down and killed over France.
