When James Forrestal resigned as secretary of defense in March 1949 before apparently committing suicide (arguably the highest ranking US government official to do so), he left in his office a large accumulation of files and papers. Among them was a private record. This was the "diary", as he called it, that he had maintained in one form or another since the middle of 1944, shortly after his appointment as secretary of the Navy.

Constantine the Great is a complex figure surrounded by controversies and contradictions. The sources of history left for us to read are often biased one way or the other as he is the first Christian Roman emperor. His own propaganda paints a bright picture of his actions and his personality, while on the other side, we have his political enemies who paint him in much darker colors. All of the sources available to us either fully support Constantine or are strictly against him.

Between 1796 and 1815, the continent of Europe was held in thrall by one of the most remarkable personalities of modern times, a man whose name was on the lips of every man, woman, and child: Napoleon Bonaparte. Certainly, one would have to go back to the time of Charlemagne to find his equal on the field of battle, in the halls of diplomacy, or in the courts of jurisprudence.

Esta obra presenta la vida del Ernesto Guevara Lynch, el “Che”, en un género de comedia musical que utiliza temas pertenecientes a distintos géneros musicales de América Latina para explorar la vida de uno de los mitos más grandes de Occidente. ¿Quién fue el Che? ¿Un revolucionario que encontró la aventura? ¿O un aventurero que encontró la revolución? ¿Es lícito moralmente vivir y morir en la utopía? 

This autobiography collection contains My Life and Work: The Autobiography of Henry Ford, My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla, and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

Refusant résolument, je le cite : "Le contraste entre le faste des uns et le dénuement des autres, entre le labeur accablant et la paresse insolente", Léon Blum s'engagea tardivement mais résolument dans l'arène politique. Mu par une conscience aiguë de l'égalité, naturelle entre les hommes, et révolté par l'inégalité, sociale, existant néanmoins entre eux, il mit ainsi son talent littéraire et son art oratoire au service de son idéal socialiste.

La fondation du Parti communiste français a mis en scène, sous nos lattitudes, l'un des plus grands rêves humain : fonder une société sur la pratique généralisée du partage. L'histoire de l'actualisation de cette utopie donne toutefois maintes preuves de ses contradictions et de ses abus, voire de ses trahisons.

André Malraux, dont on ne rappelle plus l'importance dans la vie politique, littéraire et artistique du XXè siècle, fut également l'un des plus grands tribuns de son temps. Frémeaux & Associés remercie l'Assemblée nationale, qui vient d'exhumer cet enregistrement, ainsi que Florence Malraux, qui en a autorisé la diffusion auprès du public.

Cet ouvrage nous permet de réentendre la voix de celui qui incarna le salut de la France au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de celui qui fut le fondateur de la 5ème République et qui expérimenta la constitution tout en étant le véritable précurseur des idées modernes de notre société.

The Cid, an Arab nickname meaning "the Lord", has been called the "most famous Spaniard of all time". Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar was a Castillan military and political leader in medieval Spain. He was an outstanding general, first leading the Spanish against the Moors in victorious battles, then working as a mercenary-general for whoever would require a war won. He eventually captured the city of Valencia, keeping it to himself and ruling it until his death. His remarkable military ability made him the legendary national hero of Spain. He remains an idolized figure in Spain, and his name has been immortalized in every form of story.

Militant à l'engagement sans faille, Jorge Semprún a donné corps à ses idéaux de démocratie et de liberté tout au long de sa vie. Dans ce témoignage incarné, le grand homme retrace sa vie de combats : de la Résistance dans la France occupée au camp de Buchenwald, de sa lutte dans la clandestinité sous l'Espagne franquiste à son poste de Ministre de la Culture une fois la République rétablie.

La parution des Mémoires de Philippe de Gaulle chez Plon, créa, tant chez certains hommes politiques que chez des journalistes et historiens, un certain nombre de polémiques auxquelles l'Amiral désirait répondre de sa propre voix. Il accepta donc ma proposition d'un entretien avec Michel Tauriac pour y inscrire ses souvenirs majeurs et en même temps donner des réponses définitives à la vérité historique dont il a été un témoin privilégié.

Known as a very strong man and an expert shot, William Tell took part in the resistance against the rule of the Habsburg, the emperors of Austria who had vowed to dominate his country. He was arrested for disobedience, which led to the cruelest punishment a prince could think of. Tell famously succeeded, but this was not to be the end of his tribulation. His struggle for liberty eventually sparked a rebellion which marked History.

In The Drudge Revolution, investigative journalist and author of Newtown: An American Tragedy Matthew Lysiak pulls back the curtain on the world’s most powerful journalist, for the first time telling the inside story of how one man’s visionary belief in the potential of the internet, coupled with the post-Fairness Doctrine growth of conservative talk radio and the rise of cable news and social media, created the perfect storm that seized the narrative from the mainstream media and ushered in the presidency of Donald Trump.

En este audiolibro, escritas desde una memoria lúcida, aparecen anécdotas de artistas reconocidos, políticos como los Kennedy y los presidentes que ha tenido el Perú, su amistad con Mario Vargas Llosa o su matrimonio con la poeta Blanca Varela. En tono íntimo, habla también de sus ambiciones, fracasos, penas y amores. Son estas unas memorias llenas de vida, el autorretrato de un triunfador contra todo pronóstico, las palabras de un hombre libre.

Nero’s extravagance has become nothing short of legendary. In its day, it was incredibly destructive to his people, particularly after the Great Fire of Rome - a fire that he may have even started. Instead of assisting the ten districts that had been damaged by the fire, Nero took advantage of the extra space to build himself a golden palace. He murdered, among others, his own mother, his ex-wife, and his stepbrother. He was additionally a rapist, a child molester, and a brutal abuser.

In 2004, Argentina’s President, Nestor Kirchner, appointed Martín Redrado to lead their country’s Central Bank. It was the logical choice, considering that Harvard-educated and Wall Street-seasoned Redrado brought to the table an extensive knowledge of world economics. Redrado’s primary assignment as president was to provide monetary and financial stability to a country wrecked with cyclical breakups. In early 2010, Cristina Kirchner ordered the Central Bank to fund public spending and pay national debts. Martín Redrado refused.

The man that the world knows as Winston Churchill looms large on the stage of world history. Like some sort of colossus from antiquity, Churchill strides between two major epochs in the world, one foot planted in the glory days of the British Empire when the sun never set on history’s largest known conglomeration of imperial holdings, and the other planted firmly in the aftermath of World War Two, and a post-war order that saw that empire collapse, with Britain barely hanging on to its own sovereignty in the wake.
