Der nächste Brandherd vor unserer Haustür? Vor über hundert Jahren entzündete sich auf dem westlichen Balkan der Erste Weltkrieg. Verantwortlich dafür waren die Großmächte, die ihr Ringen um Vormacht in der Region austrugen. Heute baut China dort Straßen, Russland spornt Nationalisten an, die Türkei und die Golfstaaten investieren in Moscheen und Hotels. Sie alle sehen darin einen Weg, Einfluss auf Europa zu nehmen.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yaroslav Trofimov has spent months on end at the heart of the conflict, very often on its front lines. In this authoritative account, he traces the war’s decisive moments—from the battle for Kyiv to more recently the gruelling and bloody arm wrestle involving the Wagner group over Bakhmut—to show how Ukraine and its allies have turned the tide against Russia in a modern-day battle of David and Goliath.

“WER NICHT FÜR DEN FRIEDEN ARBEITET, DER ARBEITET GEGEN IHN". Der unbekannte Soldat ist eine Hommage an Bertha von Suttner, die erste Botschafterin des Pazifismus, lange bevor er eine greifbare Theorie einer Welt ohne Waffen war und lange bevor diese Welt in Trümmer fiel.

"Bloodlands" ist eines jener seltenen Bücher, die mit einem Schlag den Blick auf die Geschichte verändern. Weltweit in mehr als vierzig Sprachen übersetzt, hat sein Titel sogar Eingang in die Alltagssprache gefunden. Timothy Snyder führt darin zusammen, was bis dahin getrennt betrachtet worden war und wenig miteinander zu tun zu haben schien: die Ermordung von 14 Millionen Menschen, die im Namen unterschiedlicher Ideologien sterben mussten, deren gewaltsamer Tod aber eine auffallende Gemeinsamkeit hatte.

Nury Turkel was born in a ‘re-education’ camp in China at the height of the Cultural Revolution. He spent the first several months of his life in captivity with his mother, who was beaten and starved while pregnant with him, whilst his father served a penal sentence in an agricultural labour camp. Following this traumatic start—and not without a heavy dose of good fortune—he was later able to travel to the US for his undergraduate studies in 1995 and was granted asylum in the country in 1998 where, as a lawyer, he is now a tireless activist for the plight of his people.

En este audiolibro se revela lo esencial de las relaciones entre el conflicto armado, el conflicto social, la violencia, el pensamiento crítico y la formulación de políticas públicas de paz en Colombia durante los últimos setenta años, analizados por su autor con el rigor de su compromiso con la paz, y de su conocida agudeza analítica que combina la historia, el derecho, la sociología y la ciencia política, y muestra la incidencia de la investigación y el análisis en el esclarecimiento y la transformación de los conflictos nacionales.

Tras la brutalidad de la Revolución, los sobrevivientes necesitaban una esperanza y el nacionalismo se la dio. Pero a un costo altísimo: muerte y mentira.

The Yugoslavian genocide is hard to explain. So many factors have contributed to the war—and eventually, the genocide in Bosnia—that many UN soldiers didn’t even know what to do about it. A lack of response, though, made the problem worse. A combination of historical aspects, such as the division of religion, the world wars, the Iron Curtain, and the fall of the Soviet Union, were part of what led to a conflict that lasted for years in this sensitive region in Europe.

Oberstdorf is a beautiful village high up in the Bavarian Alps, a place where for hundreds of years ordinary people lived simple lives while history was made elsewhere. Yet even here, in the farthest corner of Germany, National Socialism sought to control not only people’s lives but also their minds. Drawing on archive material, letters, interviews and memoirs, A Village in the Third Reich is an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany under Hitler, of the descent into totalitarianism and of the tragedies that befell all of those touched by Nazism. 

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.

Victor Capesius custodiaba la reserva nazi de gas Zyklon B y proporcionaba fármacos que eran empleados por médicos para llevar a cabo experimentos espantosos y mortales en mujeres embarazadas y niños. Hurgaba en los cadáveres de los judíos en busca de empastes de oro, y llevado por la codicia, arrastraba pesadas maletas llenas de ese metal extraído a miles de víctimas. El farmacéutico de Auschwitz cuenta su historia. Tras una exhaustiva investigación, Patricia Posner recrea la historia de Victor Capesius.

Eugenio Raúl Zaffaroni encara una historia implacable del patrimonio cultural criminal de la humanidad que hace del colonialismo su hilo conductor y llama a la resistencia y a la lucha por los Derechos Humanos desde el espíritu del Sur.

Este audiolibro recopila los resultados de una sólida investigación sobre el genocidio de más de un millón y medio de armenias y armenios a manos del ejército turco entre 1915 y 1923. Mariano Saravia explica con claridad los antecedentes y desencadenantes de ese primer genocidio del siglo XX. Recupera documentos gubernamentales, crónicas de la época y testimonios de sobrevivientes que despejan toda duda sobre la magnitud de lo sucedido, sobre las responsabilidades alrededor del crimen y de su encubrimiento posterior. 

Even before World War II, there was a genocide. We are talking about the Armenian deportations that killed between one and two million innocent civilians, an atrocity the Turkish government still doesn’t fully acknowledge. At the time of World War I, the Armenian genocide led to the organized death of around one million ethnic Armenians. The Ottoman Empire was collapsing, and in a cruel act of desperation and vengeance, they decided to take out their empirical frustrations on the Armenians. It became one of the ugliest faces of the First World War in history.

The Cambodian genocide was the methodical abuse and death of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, who pushed Cambodia toward being an entirely self-dependent agrarian socialist state. Between 1975 and 1979, 1.5 to two million people were murdered, representing about a quarter of Cambodia's population in 1975. Through a high number of propaganda resources and sheer force, the coup forced millions of people from the cities to farmlands, leaving them there to die.

It doesn’t seem like Enver Pasha was a good man. His war crimes caused the deaths of millions of innocent citizens. Sure, during a war and a collapsing empire, you try to do what you can to stop losing, but I doubt anyone in their right mind can justify his actions, which included the slaughter of minorities in the Ottoman Empire during World War One, and even the Armenian Genocide. And to this day, the Turkish government is still somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the severity of that historical atrocity.

If you think that most of the world consists of unicorns and rainbows, think again. Perhaps you think that living in the West is particularly harsh and that the problems we face in the United States or Europe are more brutal than in other parts of the world. Again, think again.

Zusammen mit seinem Regiment überfiel Pawel Filatjew die Ukraine. Dann entschloss er sich, nicht mehr mitzumachen – und der Welt die dreckige Wahrheit über den Wahnsinn dieses Krieges zu erzählen. Am 24. Februar 2022 um vier Uhr morgens marschierte der russische Fallschirmjäger Pawel Filatjew mit seinem Regiment in die Ukraine ein. Er war am Angriff auf Cherson beteiligt, saß in den Schützengräben um Nikolajew. Nach zwei Monaten an der Front wurde er verwundet; im Lazarett beschloss er, aufzuschreiben, was er gesehen und erlebt hatte: Verwüstung, Leichen, ratlose, verängstigte Befehlshaber, marodierende Truppen und Plünderer.

Sono italiani due volte i trecentomila che in un lungo esodo durato oltre vent'anni dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale lasciarono l'Istria, Fiume e Zara. Erano nati italiani e scelsero di rimanere tali quando il trattato di pace del 10 febbraio 1947 assegnò quelle regioni alla Jugoslavia comunista del maresciallo Tito.
