No dictator can rule through fear and violence alone. Naked power can be grabbed and held temporarily, but it never suffices in the long term. A tyrant who can compel his own people to acclaim him will last longer. The paradox of the modern dictator is that he must create the illusion of popular support. Throughout the 20th century, hundreds of millions of people were condemned to enthusiasm, obliged to hail their leaders even as they were herded down the road to serfdom.

Based on previously unpublished documents, diaries, notes, photographs, and dramatic interviews with Hitler's colleagues and associates, this is the definitive biography of one of the most despised yet fascinating figures of the 20th century. Painstakingly documented, it is a work that will not soon be forgotten.

A princess of White Russian descent, Marie Vassiltchikov was 23 years old when she was trapped in Berlin by the outbreak of World War II. In these secret diaries, she chronicles the glamorous rise and shattering fall of the Nazi Party, as seen from the vantage point of her desk at the Foreign Ministry. She also describes how she and her friends became involved in a desperate conspiracy to murder Hitler.

Since the days of the Roman Empire dictators have written books. But in the 20th century despots enjoyed unprecedented print runs to (literally) captive audiences. The titans of the genre - Stalin, Mussolini, and Khomeini among them - produced theoretical works, spiritual manifestos, poetry, memoirs, and even the occasional romance novel and established a literary tradition of boundless tedium that continues to this day. How did the production of literature become central to the running of regimes? What do these books reveal about the dictatorial soul?

This is the incredible tale of Operation Fifth Column, a Second World War MI5 operation so secret that its existence was revealed by the National Archives for the first time only in 2014. Throughout the war and even for a couple of years afterwards, 'Agent Jack' - in reality, a bank clerk named Eric Roberts - acted as a Gestapo agent to whom hundreds of British-based Nazi sympathisers and informers passed their secrets, thinking that he was sending them back to Germany.

One of the last major stories on the Third Reich that remains largely untold is that of the extraordinary wave of suicides, carried out not just by much of the Nazi leadership, but by thousands of ordinary Germans, in the Second World War's closing period. Some of these were provoked by terror in the face of advancing Soviet troops or by personal guilt, but many could not be explained in such relatively straightforward terms.

Across the West, there is a rising tide of people who feel excluded, alienated from mainstream politics and increasingly hostile towards minorities, immigrants and neoliberal economics. Many of these voters are turning to national populist movements, which have begun to change the face of Western liberal democracy, from the United States to France, Austria to the UK. This radical turn, we are told, is a last howl of rage from an aging electorate on the verge of extinction.

Adolf Hitler is one of the most studied men in history, and yet the most important things we think we know about him are wrong. As Brendan Simms' major new biography shows, Hitler's main preoccupation was not, as widely believed, the threat of Bolshevism but that of international capitalism and Anglo-America. These two fears drove both his anti-Semitism and his determination to secure the 'living space' necessary to survive in a world dominated by the British Empire and the United States.

Lo Stato fascista è studiato qui nei suoi meccanismi essenziali. I cambiamenti e le continuità che lo caratterizzano: nei ministeri, nei nuovi enti pubblici, nel rapporto contraddittorio fra centro e periferia. E in primo piano il nuovo soggetto che ambiguamente penetra nello Stato e al tempo stesso se ne lascia penetrare, statalizzandosi: il Partito fascista.

Il fascismo pretese di erigere un nuovo Stato, ma riutilizzò abbondantemente in chiave fascista elementi e residui dello Stato liberale. Autoritario e dittatoriale, concentrò il potere pubblico, ma accettò anche la sua pluralizzazione. Eliminò libere elezioni, creò un surrogato della rappresentanza politica, si valse di organizzazioni satelliti, ma ricorse ad amministrazioni parallele per gestire la crisi economica.

I augusti 1940 utsätts Berlin för ett bombanfall. Adolf Hitler blir rasande och beordrar omedelbart att en rad gigantiska luftvärnstorn ska byggas - vart och ett dyrare än stadens olympiska anläggningar. Tornen visar sig dock vara ineffektiva och är ett slöseri med resurser. Hitler slarvar även bort ett bra tillfälle att driva ut britterna ur Nordafrika och lägga beslag på Mellanösterns ovärderliga oljekällor, och till synes utan anledning drar han in stormakten USA i kriget i Europa.

Згадуючи війну в Іспанії - нарис про громадянську війну між іспанськими лівими і фашистами, в якому Орвелл попереджає про небезпеку тоталітаризму, який з'являється і утверджується багато в чому завдяки маніпуляціям і пропаганді ЗМІ а також боягузству та угодовництву лібералів. Це пристрасний антивоєнний, гуманістичний заклик письменника, що містить ідеї, які він розвинув в культових художніх творах: 1984 і Колгосп тварин.

Притча, сповнена гіркої іронії і сарказму. Трагікомічна історія спільноти тварин, що зважилися позбутися пригноблення людьми, і потрапила під бузувірську владу свиней. Такий є Колгосп тварин Джорджа Орвелла. У повісті зображена еволюція спільноти наївних революціонерів-тварин, які вигнали з ферми її власника — невдаху містера Джонса: еволюцію від романтичної свободи і рівності до диктатури підступного і корисливого кнура на прізвисько Наполеон.

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.

Demokratie in Gefahr – und was wir dagegen tun können. Es sind beunruhigende Zeiten: Vor wenigen Jahren waren Rechtsextremisten im Parteienspektrum noch weitgehend isoliert. Heute denken Teile der Union offen über eine Koalition mit ihnen nach. Und während antidemokratische Positionen in der Breite der Gesellschaft stetig an Zustimmung gewinnen, verzeichnet die AfD in den Wahlumfragen für 2024 Spitzenwerte. Höchste Zeit, sich mit der realen Gefahr einer autoritären Machtübernahme auseinanderzusetzen.

Churchill. Hitler. Stalin. Mussolini. Roosevelt. Five of the most impactful leaders of WW2, each with their own individualistic and idiosyncratic approach to warfare. But if we want to understand their military strategy, we must first understand the strategist. In THE STRATEGISTS, Professor Phillips Payson O'Brien shows how the views these five leaders forged in WW1 are crucial to understanding how they fought WW2.
