Die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts war turbulent: Ganze Gesellschaften wurden umgestaltet, blutige Kriege geführt – oft unter Verachtung der grundlegendsten Werte. An der Spitze dieser Umwälzungen standen politische Führer, Demokraten wie Diktatoren, jeder von ihnen eine herausragende Persönlichkeit.

Mais la France n'est pas le monde et des dirigeantes d'exception n'ont cessé d'enrichir le riche livre d'heures de notre histoire de l'Antiquité à nos jours.

Dieser Mann schreckt vor nichts zurück. Bei der Verfolgung seiner Ziele geht Wladimir Putin über Leichen, und das nicht erst seit dem Überfall auf die Ukraine. John Sweeney, investigativer Journalist und seit vielen Jahren auf der Spur von Putins Verbrechen, legt die Beweise vor: Schon bei seinem unheimlichen Aufstieg vom Stasi-Mann in Dresden zum unumschränkten Herrscher im Kreml ging Putin mit erbarmungsloser Konsequenz vor, ließ Oppositionelle ausschalten, provozierte Kriege und überzog Russland mit einem Netzwerk der Korruption.

Ein einzigartiger Einblick in die Hinterzimmer der Macht. Auf öffentlicher Bühne inszeniert sich Olaf Scholz sorgfältig als sachorientierter Macher. Doch wie sieht die Realität hinter den Kulissen aus? Nichts verrät darüber so viel wie seine Verwicklung als Hamburger Bürgermeister in das 47-Millionen-Euro Steuergeschenk an eine Privatbank.

John Tyler is perhaps one of America’s lesser-known presidents, and the fact that he even became president was due to the tragic death of his predecessor, William Henry Harrison. Throughout history, Tyler was indeed mostly known merely for the fact that he was the first vice president to be promoted to the presidency, but there is more to John Tyler’s story than that. He presided over a tumultuous time in American history and continued to play a decisive role in American politics even after leaving the White House. Here, in this book, we explore his life and his legacy in full.

What was it like to meet and talk to people who knew Jackie Kennedy Onassis well? Each of these eight people gave me a surprising look into what it was like to live and work in Jackie's world. Nancy Tuckerman was Jackie's friend from boarding school and also her lifelong assistant. Jackie was wary around Nan Talese, one of the most important people in publishing. Sarah Giles was an editor at Vanity Fair. She worked with Jackie in her apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue on a book that got them both into trouble. Ruth Ansel knew Jackie via man about town and photographer Peter Beard.

Seen by many as one of America’s greatest presidents, Harry S. Truman was, in many ways, an unexpected president. He came from a very undistinguished background and is, in fact, the only US president in recent history with the honor of being a college dropout. Despite what he may have lacked in formal education, Truman was a quick learner from the real-life experience he was given on the world stage. As president, he gets the credit for some major milestones in American policy. Here, in this book, we cover the dynamic life and powerful legacy of President Harry S. Truman in full.

The Second World War was the defining moment in the history of the Soviet Union. With Stalin at the helm, it emerged victorious at a huge economic and human cost. But even before the fighting had ended, Stalin began to turn against the architects of success. In this original and comprehensive study, Alfred J. Rieber examines Stalin as a wartime leader, arguing that his policies were profoundly paradoxical.

For many people, Jackie was beyond criticism. People who came from her own background, however, were often more detached. They could be more forceful with her and sometimes more openly critical of her than others were. Nan Talese was one of the most important people in American publishing at the end of the 20th century. Nan and Jackie both grew up as bookish debutantes in and around New York. When Nan and Jackie worked at the same publisher in the 1990s, a muted rivalry arose between them.

Toute ma vie j'ai eu de la chance, beaucoup de chance, peut-être même trop de chance quand je pense à tous ceux qui n'ont d'autre choix que d'affronter la grisaille d'un quotidien désespérant et, souvent, douloureux. Ce n'est pas que les épreuves m'ont été épargnées. J'ai eu mon lot d'échecs professionnels et personnels. J'ai même l'impression d'avoir parfois dû payer un prix élevé au succès, et à la notoriété. Mais jamais, au grand jamais, je n'ai connu l'ennui.

No American president has enjoyed as intimate a relationship with the soldiers in his army as did the man they called “Father Abraham.” In Lincoln’s Men, historian William C. Davis draws on thousands of unpublished letters and diaries—the voices of the volunteers—to tell the hidden story of how a new and untested president became “Father” throughout both the army and the North as a whole. Lincoln’s Men casts a new light on our most famous president and on America’s revolution—on our country’s father and its rebirth.

The fate of the Union and the emancipation of slavery were at stake in the national election of 1864. It was the most important election in the history of the United States, and a beacon of hope for the world. This is the story of how Lincoln mastered language, and how his words changed public perspective, drove home emancipation, reignited the ideals of freedom and saved democratic government. In all he said, Lincoln’s words speak freedom to peoples the world over today as in 1864.

Tarradellas es un recorrido por la trayectoria vital y política de quien fue uno de los presidentes más célebres de la Generalitat de Catalunya. Se trata de la biografía más exhaustiva sobre el político que se ha escrito hasta ahora y que está llamada a convertirse en la obra de referencia sobre su figura en los próximos años. Este minucioso trabajo analiza la evolución profesional y política de Josep Tarradellas (1899-1988) y, a su vez, se convierte en un relato de la historia del catalanismo y de la relación Cataluña-España a lo largo del siglo xx.

John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States, and the youngest man elected to the office. He was assassinated at the age of 46 in 1963. Arthur Ashe was an African American professional tennis player who won more than forty singles titles. He died in 1993 at the age of 49 of AIDS-related pneumonia. But imagine if the lives of JFK and Ashe had not been cut short? In this pair of speculative biographies, two writers suppose what might have been if JFK had lived long enough to serve out his presidency and what Arthur Ashe may have done to enhance his already notable legacy.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Nancy Tuckerman were friends over seven decades. Nancy almost never talked to people writing books about Jackie. She made an exception for me because I was working with her former colleagues. She and I met for the first time at the Red Lion Inn on a cold day in February. She was wearing a plain brown sweater and hiding behind a newspaper. At first she was stiff with me. But at lunch the young waiter poured her a cold cup of coffee. When he stepped away, we both laughed. That was how we began a friendlier and franker conversation that lasted 10 years.
