Viceroys is the story of the British aristocracy sent to govern India during the reigns of five British monarchs. It is also the story of how the modern British identity was established. British history from the Hundred Years War onwards gives an impression of how the British were seen. It is a misconception or, more kindly, a British view. Until the 19th century the British did not have an identity readily recognised throughout the world. Even the Elizabethans were never established other than as great individuals. From 1815, an image of Britain as the first superpower was built that would make do until even the 21st century.

The last general election saw the Conservatives win their highest vote share in 40 years, while Labour slumped to their lowest seat total since 1935. At the heart of this electoral earthquake was the so-called Red Wall, some 60 seats stretching from the Midlands up to the North of England. Working-class voters in these old coal, steel and manufacturing constituencies had been the bedrock of past Labour victories, but all that changed on 12th December 2019 when Boris Johnson turned the Red Wall blue.

From the acclaimed military historian, a new history of the outbreak of World War I: the dramatic stretch from the breakdown of diplomacy to the battles—the Marne, Ypres, Tannenberg—that marked the frenzied first year before the war bogged down in the trenches. In Catastrophe 1914, Max...

Brought to you by Penguin. After all the debates, manoeuvrings, recriminations and exaltations, Brexit is upon us. But, as Kevin O'Rourke writes, Brexit did not emerge out of nowhere: it is the culmination of events that have been under way for decades and have historical roots stretching back...

How do you decide what is a 'story' and what isn't? What does a newspaper editor actually do all day? How do hacks get their scoops? How do the TV stations choose their news bulletins? How do you persuade people to say those awful, embarrassing things? Who earns what? How do journalists manage...

The European Union is the most ambitious, and one of the most contentious, international organizations ever created. Decisions made in Brussels shape the lives of over 500 million Europeans, and its laws and policies resonate around the world. But how has the European Union endured over three turbulent decades marred by crises at home and abroad? In this major account, Dermot Hodson traces the development of the European Union from its establishment in 1993 through to Brexit, COVID-19, and the invasion of Ukraine.

Sinn Féin is the most popular political party in both Northern Ireland and the Republic. A movement once synonymous with a paramilitary campaign is on the brink of taking real power through purely democratic means. But if Sinn Féin has mastered the art of electoral politics, it remains strangely opaque. Who really runs the party? How is it funded? And what can we expect of it as a party of government? Aoife Moore, Irish Journalist of the Year in 2021, explores these and other burning questions in The Long Game.

Deutschland ist seit über 35 Jahren wiedervereint, doch die Mauern in den Köpfen sind längst nicht abgebaut. Die Kluft zwischen Ost und West scheint größer denn je. Die Stärke der AfD–vor allem bei der jungen Wählerschaft–ist Beleg für eine große Polarisierung. Genau diese Themen greift Nora Zabel in ihrem gesellschaftskritischen Sachbuch auf. Mitte der 1990er Jahre in der mecklenburgischen Provinz geboren, verlor sie niemals die Hoffnung auf eine gleichberechtigte Gesellschaft und engagierte sich schon in ihrer Schulzeit politisch.

Under mer än 30 år har Jan Guillou varit Sveriges mest läste, kanske också mest kontroversielle, kolumnist. Hans texter i Aftonbladet har handlat om allt från föreställningen att de fattiga får det bättre om man sänker skatterna för de rika, till hot och hat mot framför allt kvinnliga skribenter, om tilltron till hårdare straff och utbyggda fängelser och till och med om vargfrågan. Men allra mest om terroristlagstiftningen och frågan om likhet inför lagen.

Mussolini's Grandchildren delves into Italy's self-styled 'post-fascist' movements—rooted in historical fascism yet claiming to have 'transcended' it. David Broder highlights the reinventions of far-right politics since WWII and examines the interplay between a parliamentary face aimed at integrating fascists into the mainstream and militant fringe groups which, despite their extremism, play an important role in nurturing the broader far right.

This book is Khodorkovsky's account of what is happening in Russia today and what could happen in the future. Putin will not last forever: sooner or later, there will be a post-Putin era. But Russia's history has been deeply shaped by an autocratic trap: a revolution against an autocracy has produced another autocracy, followed by another revolution and another autocracy, and so on. If Russia is to find its place as a constructive partner in a global community of civilized nations, then it has to escape this vicious cycle.

Inzwischen ist Martin Sonneborn nicht mehr so naiv: Als er 2019 zum zweiten Mal ins Europaparlament gewählt wird, weiß er bereits, wie in der EU Politik gemacht wird – und kennt alle Tricks. Das ist auch gut so, denn in seiner zweiten Amtszeit geht es in Europa um alles. (Fast).
