Twenty-six-year-old cavalry officer Slavomir Rawicz was captured by the Red Army in 1939 during the German-Soviet partition of Poland and sent to the Siberian Gulag.

How did an obscure agitator on the political fringes of early-20th-century Germany rise to become the supreme leader of the "Third Reich"? Unlike many other books that track Adolf Hitler's career after 1933, this book focuses on his formative period—immediately following World War I (1918-1924). The author, a veteran producer of historical documentaries, brings to life this era of political unrest and violent conflict, when forces on both the left and right were engaged in a desperate power struggle.

In The OSS: America’s First Spy Agency, acclaimed historian Cyril Marlen peels back the curtain on the secret missions, eccentric characters, and dangerous innovations that defined the OSS’s short but seismic existence.

Blitzkrieg explores one of the most revolutionary military strategies of the twentieth century—a method of war that stunned nations, shattered armies, and reshaped the rules of conflict. This deeply engaging and accessible book uncovers how speed, coordination, and surprise became the most lethal combination in modern warfare. In the opening phases of World War II, German forces swept across Europe with astonishing speed. Nations that had once braced for long, drawn-out battles collapsed in mere weeks. At the centre of this storm was a tactical approach known as Blitzkrieg, or “lightning war.”

In the summer of 1940, darkness was falling over Europe. Led by Winston Churchill, the British rediscovered the virtues that had made a humble people the rulers of the world. In June 1940, Winston Churchill called the battle Britain's "finest hour", and he was right.

By 1942, Churchill faced a vastly different war than the one he'd inherited from Neville Chamberlain. Britain was no longer alone; the Soviets were now an unlikely ally in the East, and Pearl Harbor had finally pushed America into action. In Advance Britannia, historian Alan Allport reveals the war as it was lived - from the battlefields to the ration books, in the War Ministry and in the air raid shelters. Mixing social history with dramatic storytelling, this is a definitive account of the war that reshaped the world.

We all learned the story. Now it’s time to hear what actually happened. 1776: The Revolution is a piercing, unfiltered journey into the founding of the United States. What really happened in the meeting rooms, the battlefields, and the parchment scrolls of the so-called land of the free? What was written in ink—and what was left out by design? This is a time capsule. A mirror. A warning label. Because the revolution never ended. We just stopped asking who it was for.

Churchill fu protagonista di una eccezionale gamma di attività ed esperienze: nominato ufficiale durante il regno della regina Vittoria, partecipò alle guerre coloniali in Africa e alle prime fasi di sviluppo dell'aviazione, ma soprattutto guidò l'Impero britannico nella sua ora più buia, durante i giorni cupi e gloriosi della Seconda guerra mondiale.

In the aftermath of the First World War, the seeds of fascism were sown in Italy. While the country reeled in shock, a new movement emerged from the chaos: one that preached hatred for politicians and love for the fatherland; one that promised to build a ‘New Roman Empire’, and make Italy a great power again.
