The reign of Richard III, the last Yorkist king and the final monarch of the Plantagenet dynasty, marked a turning point in British history. But despite his lasting legacy, Richard only ruled as king for the final two years of his life. While much attention has been given to his short reign, Michael Hicks explores the whole of Richard's fascinating life and traces the unfolding of his character and career from his early years as the son of a duke to his violent death at the battle of Bosworth.

Dort, wo Maya aufwächst, herrscht Schweigen. Die deutsche Vergangenheit, der Holocaust, den die Mutter als Cellistin im Orchester von Auschwitz überlebt - davon wird nicht gesprochen. Dennoch entkommt Maya den Verwundungen der Eltern nicht, ein stabiles Leben scheint unmöglich, sie treibt durch das London der Siebziger. Zu lange Nächte, Drogen, Schulden, die falschen Typen, eine Flucht nach Jamaika, bei der sie fast stirbt... Um zu überleben, das ist ihr schlagartig klar, muss sie das Schweigen überwinden. Sie beginnt zu schreiben: Briefe nach Breslau an die von den Nazis ermordeten Großeltern.

Master of the Senate, told with an abundance of rich detail that could only have come from Caro’s peerless research, is both a galvanizing portrait of the man himself—the titan of Capital Hill, volcanic, mesmerizing—and a definitive and revelatory study of the workings and personal and legislative power.

The third and final volume takes us through World War II, FDR's death, the founding of the UN, and Eleanor Roosevelt's death in 1962. It follows the arc of war and the evolution of a marriage as the first lady realized the cost of maintaining her principles even as the country and her husband were not prepared to adopt them. Eleanor Roosevelt continued to struggle for her core issues - economic security, New Deal reforms, racial equality, and rescue - when they were sidelined by FDR while he marshaled the country through war.

The last Plantagenet king remains one of England's most famous and controversial monarchs. There are few parallels in English history that can match the drama of Richard III's reign, witnessed in its full bloody intensity. A dedicated brother and loyal stalwart to the Yorkist dynasty for most of his early life, Richard's personality was forged in the tribulation of exile and the brutality of combat.

Revolution, Diktatur und Krieg - Begriffe, die zwei Männer vereinten, die die Welt in Angst und Schrecken versetzten: Adolf Hitler und Joseph Stalin. Ihr gleichzeitiges Erscheinen auf der Bühne der Geschichte ist das wohl bemerkenswerteste Phänomen in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ein Phänomen, dessen Nachwirkungen noch bis zum Fall der Mauer im Herbst 1989 zu spüren waren. Obwohl zweieinhalbtausend Kilometer voneinander entfernt geboren, bewegten sich die Wege der beiden Despoten unaufhaltsam aufeinander zu.

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Athelstan: The Making of England by Tom Holland, read by Roy McMillan. The formation of England happened against the odds - the division of the country into rival kingdoms, the assaults of the Vikings, the precarious position of the island on the edge of the known world. But King Alfred ensured the survival of Wessex, his son Eadweard expanded it, and his grandson Æthelstan finally united Mercia and Wessex, conquered Northumbria and became Rex totius Britanniae.

Spanning 1940 to 1965, this volume picks up shortly after Winston Churchill became prime minister - when Britain stood alone against the might of Nazi Germany. The Churchill described here is a man of courage, intellect, and an irresistible will to action.

George III, Britain's longest-reigning king, has gone down in history as 'the cruellest tyrant of this age' (Thomas Paine, 18th century), 'a sovereign who inflicted more profound and enduring injuries upon this country than any other modern English king' (WEH Lecky, 19th century), 'one of England's most disastrous kings' (JH Plumb, 20th century) and as the pompous, camp and sinister monarch of the musical Hamilton (21st century). Andrew Roberts' magnificent new biography takes entirely the opposite view.

This third and final volume of the unexpurgated diaries of Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon begins as the Second World War is turning in the Allies' favour. It ends with a prematurely aged Chips descending into poor health but still socially active and able to turn a pointed phrase about the political events that swirl around him and the great and the good with whom he mingles.

Eine etwas andere DDR-Geschichte: ironisch, rotzig, zärtlich. Mit tiefgründigem Humor erzählt Bastienne Voss von der Zeit mit ihrem Opa Gustav, dem "Oberirren mit dem KZ-Koller", und ihrer Oma Wilma. "Zuerst hatte ich einen Großvater, dann eine Großmutter und dann Eltern und alles andere, was so zum Leben gehört. Großvater hatte ein Ding zu laufen. Dass er sich das im KZ weggeholt hatte, wusste ich damals noch nicht. Jedenfalls ließ er an dem Ding, das er zu laufen hatte, alle teilhaben, und so hatte auch Großmutter bald ein Ding zu laufen. Bei mir wuchs das Ding von Jahr zu Jahr, bis es hier und da mein sogenanntes Normalverhalten überschattete. In unserer Familie hatten also mindestens drei Leute eine Macke: Opa, Oma und ich. 13 Jahre lang polterte Großvater durch mein Leben. 13 Jahre lang fürchtete ich mich vor dem Tyrannen und Wundertäter, den ich abgöttisch liebte."

Rockefeller was the quintessential industrialist. He created an industry out of nascent oil and gas start-ups during a time when none existed. His strategies and tactics may not have been approved by all, but he was certain he was doing God’s work. We live in a world today that is based on the actions of John D. Rockefeller. Everything we do and how we live are the result of oil and its power. This inherent structure is based on what one man did when the oil industry was just starting off.

Master of the Senate carries Lyndon Johnson's story through one of its most remarkable periods: his 12 years in the U.S. Senate. At the heart of the book is its unprecedented revelation of how legislative power works in America, how the Senate works, and how Johnson, in his ascent to the presidency, mastered the Senate as no political leader before him had ever done. "There is something uniquely mesmerizing about the wily, combative Lyndon Johnson as portrayed by Caro," says Publishers Weekly.

Christopher Wood, a beautiful young Englishman, decided to be the greatest painter the world had seen. He went to Paris in 1921. By day, he studied; by night, he attended the parties of the beau monde. He knew Picasso, worked for Diaghilev and was a friend of Cocteau. In the last months of his 29-year life, he fought a ravening opium addiction to succeed in claiming a place in history of English painting.
