Angela Merkel è indubbiamente il simbolo della Germania del nuovo millennio. Una passione per la politica, una carriera duratura con alti e bassi, scelte difficili e grandi doti di leadership. In questo breve viaggio nella vita politica di Angela Merkel seguiremo la sua carriera nel partito e alla guida di uno degli Stati chiave della nuova Unione Europea. Alla vigilia delle elezioni in Germania, previste per l'autunno del 2017, la Merkel si trova forse nel momento più delicato della propria carriera, con un’economia nazionale per la prima volta in recessione dopo anni, e con il rischio di vedere sfaldata la complessa trama di relazioni e dipendenze intessuta fino ad ora dalla sua cancelleria.

The sinking of the German battleship Bismarck - a masterpiece of engineering, well-armored with a main artillery of eight 15-inch guns - was one of the most dramatic events of World War II. She left the port of Gotenhafen for her first operation on the night of 18 May 1941, yet was almost immediately discovered by Norwegian resistance and Allied air reconnaissance. British battlecruiser Hood was quickly dispatched from Scapa Flow to intercept the Bismarck, together with new battleship Prince of Wales.

This book describes the odd coalition between Germany and Finland in World War II, and their joint military operations from 1941 to 1945. This is a topic often missing in English, though in stark contrast to the numerous books on the shorter and less bloody Winter War. That conflict represented a gallant fight of a democratic “David” against a totalitarian “Goliath” that caught the imagination of the world. The story of Finland fighting alongside a “Goliath” of its own has not brought pride to that nation and was a period many Finns would rather forget.

Whilst the Kriegsmarine's surface fleet, restricted for much of the period after 1919 by the terms of the Versailles Treaty, was relatively small in comparison to the Royal Navy, it did possess a number of highly potent battleships and other capital vessels that could - and did - pose a major threat to British interests in the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean. Amongst the most powerful were the two battleships - the Bismarck and the Tirpitz.

When Money Dies is the classic history of what happens when a nations currency depreciates beyond recovery. In 1923, with its currency effectively worthless (the exchange rate in December of that year was one dollar to 4,200,000,000,000 marks), the German republic was all but reduced to a barter economy. Expensive cigars, artworks, and jewels were routinely exchanged for staples such as bread; a cinema ticket could be bought for a lump of coal; and a bottle of paraffin for a silk shirt....

The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to end all traffic between the city’s two halves: the democratic west and the communist east. The iconic symbol of a divided Europe, the Wall became a focus of western political pressure on East Germany; as Ronald Reagan’s famously said in a 1987 speech in Berlin, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

Making use of the extensive memoirs of German and Russian soldiers to bring their story to life, the narrative follows on from On A Knife's Edge, which described the encirclement and destruction of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad and the offensives and counter-offensives that followed throughout the winter of 1942-43.

Trent'anni fa crollava il Muro di Berlino, simbolo della guerra fredda e della divisione del mondo tra Stati Uniti e Unione Sovietica.

Cronache dal muro di Berlino", edito da Feltrinelli) e Tonia Mastrobuoni, corrispondente da Berlino, raccontano la storia del Muro con il piglio del cronista: dalla divisione di Berlino dopo la II Guerra Mondiale alla costruzione del Muro nel 1961, fino alla caduta del 9 novembre 1989.

Le difficoltà nel trovare lavoro, la crisi del debito, i problemi legati alla globalizzazione affondano le loro radici nella storia. Dal crollo del '29 di Wall Street al crac delle borse asiatiche, Alessandro Barbera aprirà una ad una le porte chiuse delle grandi crisi economiche. Perché dietro ognuna di esse, c'è una lezione da trarre per l'oggi.

In the wake of white nationalist attacks, the ongoing debate over reparations, and the controversy surrounding Confederate monuments and the contested memories they evoke, Susan Neiman's Learning from the Germans delivers an urgently needed perspective on how a country can come to terms with its historical wrongdoings. Neiman is a white woman who came of age in the civil rights-era South and a Jewish woman who has spent much of her adult life in Berlin. 

Frederick the Great, king of Prussia from 1740 to 1786, was one of the most remarkable men of the 18th century. Born the son of strict disciplinarian Frederick William I in 1712, he was a most precocious and obstinate young man, and until he actually became king, he never exhibited any signs of becoming a military genius. But the young king displayed an amazing aptitude for military life and plunged into war with Austria over the long-disputed province of Silesia.

There is no story in 20th-century history more important to understand than Hitler’s rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. With The Coming of the Third Reich, Richard Evans, one of the world’s most distinguished historians, has written the definitive account for our time.

In the summer of 1993, Thomas Harding travelled to Germany with his grandmother to visit a house by a lake. It had been a holiday home for her family, that she had been forced to leave as the Nazis swept to power. As he began to piece together the lives of the five families who had lived, he realised that this house had witnessed violence, betrayals and murders, had withstood the trauma of a world war and the dividing of a nation.
