On the 27th August, 1963, the day before Martin Luther King electrified the world from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with the immortal words, 'I Have a Dream', the life of another giant of the Civil Rights movement quietly drew to a close in Accra, Ghana: W.E.B. DuBois. In this new biography, Bill V. Mullen interprets the seismic political developments of the Twentieth Century through Du Bois’s revolutionary life.

It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.

Helmut Schmidt erzählt in seinem neuen Buch von seinen Vorbildern. Von den Menschen, die ihn so geprägt haben, dass er sich an deren Beispiel bis heute orientiert. Die frühe Lektüre von Mark Aurel und Cicero, die Beschäftigung mit Kant, Weber und Karl Popper waren entscheidend in der Entwicklung des Politikers, der in seiner aktiven politischen Zeit als ein Verfechter des Pragmatismus galt. Dennoch wurde seine Politik stets von einer sittlichen, tief verinnerlichten Grundorientierung geleitet, die er sowohl den großen Denkern als auch Begegnungen in der Schulzeit oder seiner Frau Loki verdankte.

Once described by Mao Zedong as a "needle inside a ball of cotton", Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China's radical transformation in the late 20th century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao's cult of personality, and loosened the policies that had stunted China's growth. Obsessed with modernization, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Yet he also answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in 1989 at Tiananmen Square.
