God, Guns, and Sedition offers the definitive account of the rise of far-right terrorism in the United States-and how to counter it. Leading experts Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware trace the historical trajectory and assess the present-day dangers of this violent extremist movement, along with the harm it poses to United States national security.

How did it happen? Why did we allow it to happen? Could it happen again? These are the three questions most often asked about the Holocaust, the whirlwind of murder during which the Nazi-led government of the Third Reich systematically slaughtered 6 million Jews, along with millions of victims from other targeted populations Gypsies, Slavs, the mentally retarded, the insane, homosexuals, and the physically deformed. In The Holocaust: An End to Innocence, Rossel examines the Nazi rise to power, the role of prejudice and propaganda in the Holocaust, and echoes of the Holocaust that plagued ...

This book explains the historical roots of the conflict between Jews and Arabs, which has lost none of its explosiveness to the present day, in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand manner. The question of who owns the Holy Land is more relevant today than ever. The debates on this topic are often characterized by ignorance and strong emotions, while partiality and power interests still obscure the view on the political situation in the Middle East.

У творі Тодось Осьмачка Ротонда душогубців зображено глибокий трагізм долі українського народу напередодні великого голодомору 1932–33 років, подано художньо-психологічний аналіз організації цього штучного голодомору правлячою тоді тоталітарно-терористичною сталінською клікою. Роман Ротонда душогубців — це вражаюче жахливий літопис злочинного винищення українства в період примусової колективізації, нелюдських жорстокостей НКВС. Головний герой роману — Іван Брус — носій національної ідеї українського народу, а водночас і герой, якому немає місця в суспільстві тоталітарного режиму.

Vendredi 13 novembre 2015. Douceur automnale : ce soir pourrait avoir un air de fête. On rêve de ce que sera cette nuit qui s’ouvre. Deux amoureuses savourent l’impatience de se retrouver ; des jumelles se sont demandé où célébrer leur anniversaire ; une infirmière se promet le repos mérité. Un mari s’agace de devoir garder seul “la petite” – sa femme part écouter de la musique. Partout dans Paris, on va bavarder, trinquer, rire, danser. Et du côté des forces de secours et de l’ordre, rien n’annonce l’horreur imminente.

A top negotiator in countless high-stakes missions to free Americans captured abroad and held in the world's scariest prisons takes listeners inside the dramatic and shadowy world of international hostage rescue.

Verdad, agentes secretos y mentiras preventivas en la guerra contra el terror. Detener a los delincuentes antes de que cometan un crimen no es solamente el argumento de Minority Report, la famosa película de Steven Spielberg. Es también la fe que, desde el atentado de las Torres Gemelas, mueve la mal llamada "guerra contra el terror". En sus engranajes crujen no solo los detenidos (culpables o inocentes, eso parece secundario), sino el concepto mismo de delito e incluso de realidad fáctica. El relato preventivo en España presume de más de ochocientos detenidos, pero ocho de cada diez han sido absueltos.

戦争、内戦、テロ……。なぜ今、中東地域で惨禍が繰り返されるのか？ その理由を、パレスチナやイスラエルの歴史、数次にわたる中東での戦争から、詳細にわかりやすく解説。

Whatever happened to the Nazis after World War II? While the Nuremberg trials saw key party members prosecuted, it was impossible to imprison every German who had supported the Third Reich. This is the story of what happened to the Nazis who escaped justice.

This is the first book to examine how and why the United States refused to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide until the early 2020s. Although the American government expressed sympathy towards the plight of the Armenians in the 1910s and 1920s, historian Julien Zarifian explores how, from the 1960s, a set of geopolitical and institutional factors soon led the United States to adopt a policy of genocide nonrecognition which it would cling to for over fifty years, through Republican and Democratic administrations alike.

Steven Johnson’s engrossing account of the epic struggle between the anarchist movement and the emerging surveillance state stretches around the world and between two centuries—from Alfred Nobel’s invention of dynamite and the assassination of Czar Alexander II to New York City in the shadow of World War I.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

In a tour de force of investigative journalism and novelistic storytelling, White Terror follows the National Socialist Underground, or NSU, from their radicalisation as young skinheads through their transformation into fully fledged terrorists carrying out bombings and assassinations while living on the run. But it’s also about something almost as terrifying: the German police and intelligence services that missed clues, mishandled far-right informants and repeatedly tried to paint the immigrant victims as mafiosos.

War can settle disputes, topple tyrants, and bend the trajectory of civilization—sometimes to the breaking point. From Troy to Hiroshima, moments when war has ended in utter annihilation have reverberated through the centuries, signaling the end of political systems, cultures, and epochs. Though much has changed over the millennia, human nature remains the same. In The End of Everything, military historian Victor Davis Hanson narrates a series of sieges and sackings that span the age of antiquity to the conquest of the New World to show how societies descend into barbarism and obliteration.

The gripping narrative of one of the last Nazi criminal trials in Germany—that of Bruno Dey, a 93-year-old former concentration camp guard charged with aiding the murder of more than 5,000 people—and a larger exploration of Germany's reckoning with the Holocaust, from silence to memory to today's rising tide of fascism and antisemitism.

The just war tradition provides a framework to evaluate decisions on waging and conducting war. It can also inform conduct after a war. In addition, just war principles can assist military planners and decision-makers regarding situations other than war, including humanitarian intervention. For example, consider a potential mass atrocity in sub-Saharan Africa. The just war concepts of just cause, legitimate authority, reasonable chance of success, last resort, right intention, and proportionality can inform the moral and legal basis for intervention by a state or the international community.

As we stand now, there is one rule for the US / NATO and another for Russia / China and the rest of the world. Undeniably, US / NATO forces and commanders are committing war crimes daily and are losing the War on Terror because of their outright incompetence. Read Code Name Dawn where we discuss the International Criminal Court, ICC, and how every single Western leader since the late George HW Bush would be arrested for murder and war crimes if the law was applied evenly. These leaders are getting away with murder whilst pointing fingers at everyone else. “If the Nuremberg laws were ...
