The SAS: Britain’s Original Special Forces pulls back the curtain on one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. From its desert birth under the radical vision of David Stirling to the urban battlefields of counter-terrorism and beyond, the SAS has forged a reputation for ruthlessness, efficiency, and quiet excellence. Whether conducting daring raids behind enemy lines, training allied forces in jungle warfare, or silently watching from the shadows in foreign cities, the SAS operates on the cutting edge of modern combat—often invisible, but never irrelevant.

Forfatteren og landsretssagføreren Knud Nordentoft (1895-1953) meldte sig ind i Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Arbejderparti i 1940 og fik ansættelse som partifunktionær. I tre et halvt år skrev han en omfattende dagbog om livet blandt danske og tyske nazister, indtil han blev arresteret i majdagene i 1945. Knud Nordentoft skriver om det umulige samarbejde med besættelsesmyndighederne, om jødespørgsmålet, om sin frygt for kommunisterne og om sit håb om det tyske gengældelsesvåben, der kunne udslette England.

Aus den menschlichen Verwerfungen des 2. Weltkrieges sind in Deutschland zwei Staaten, die DDR und die Bundesrepublik, hervorgegangen. Mit der Bürde der deutschen Verantwortung für die unendlichen Zerstörungen und Verbrechen der Nazizeit mussten sie einen neuen Weg in die Gemeinschaft mit anderen Völkern finden. Der Frieden war eine aus den Trümmern erstandene Hoffnung für alle Deutschen. Im Rückblick sieht Gabriele Gysi die Gemeinsamkeit beider deutscher Staaten in ihrem unmittelbaren Bezug aufeinander. Noch heute ist die deutsche Frage nicht gelöst, nur neu gestellt.

In his critically acclaimed account of one of Europe’s most important but often forgotten figures, former BBC foreign correspondent and EU insider Martyn Bond tells the extraordinary story of Richard Count Coudenhove-Kalergi.

Settembre 1939 - agosto 1945: dall'aggressione tedesca alla Polonia fino alla resa del Giappone, tutto il mondo fu impegnato in una guerra devastante che, oltre a costare quaranta milioni di vite umane, lasciò in eredità una divisione in due blocchi contrapposti, una serie di importanti scoperte scientifiche e tecnologiche e la necessità di misurare ogni questione sociale, politica o culturale su una scala mondiale.

«Il giorno più lungo», come lo definì Rommel, sta per iniziare. Sono le ore 0.00 del 6 giugno 1944 e le truppe vengono allertate: è il D-Day, gli Alleati stanno per sbarcare in Normandia. 5000 tra navi e mezzi anfibi, 104 cacciatorpedinieri, 130.000 soldati che raggiungeranno la costa francese via mare e 20.000 uomini paracadutati. Queste le cifre dell'enorme contingente spiegato. L'obiettivo è la resa incondizionata della Germania nazista.

In The Devil’s Castle, Susanne Paola Antonetta weaves a haunting narrative that confronts the darkest chapters of psychiatric history while offering a bold vision for the future of mental health care. In 1939, the eugenics movement growing throughout the West did its worst in Nazi Germany. Through the Aktion T4 euthanasia program, five asylums and an abandoned jail were transformed into gas chambers. Tens of thousands of lives—predominantly adults with neuropsychiatric conditions—were extinguished in those structures, ultimately paving the way for the horrors of the Holocaust.

In 1942, historian Peter Fritzsche offers a gripping, ground-level portrait of the decisive year when World War II escalated to global catastrophe. With the United States joining the fight following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, all the world’s great powers were at war. The debris of ships sunk by Nazi submarines littered US beaches, Germans marauded in North Africa, and the Japanese swept through the Pacific.

It doesn’t just tell you what he did.

Dopo l'8 settembre 1943 uno sparuto gruppo di studenti vicentini, guidato da un giovane professore antifascista, si dà alla macchia sull'altopiano di Asiago per tentare di organizzare la Resistenza.

What if you were flying into war with barely three weeks of training? What if your first dogfight ended with your guns still on safety? What if a single wrong turn landed you in a prison camp halfway across Europe, unsure if you'd ever see home again? This is the extraordinary true story of Ken Cam, a young RAF Spitfire pilot hurled into the chaos of World War II far from ready—but never backing down.

While the battles of Europe and the Pacific dominate the headlines of World War II, an equally brutal and strategically vital campaign unfolded far from the spotlight—in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
