An awful lot has happened in the last 100 years or so. In fact, when you look at how much went on in the 20th century, it's amazing it didn't take longer than that. And what have we learnt? A few obvious lessons include: megalomaniac men with moustaches in charge of countries tend to turn out to be bad; anyone who thinks they can explain let alone sort out the Middle East is wrong; France simply cannot be relied upon; America may or may not be the cause of everything good and bad in the world (depending on who you ask).

The Fall of the Reich: The Final 100 Days tells the harrowing and historically rich story of how the Third Reich unravelled during its final, desperate months between January and May 1945. What was once a seemingly invincible Nazi war machine had by 1945 become a hollow shell—crumbling under the weight of defeat, dissent, and destruction. From the failed final offensive in the Ardennes to the thunder of Soviet artillery at the gates of Berlin, this book tracks the intense and often chaotic events that sealed Hitler’s fate and reshaped the modern world.

“If I survive.” This thought haunted Lena. Her loved ones were cruelly forced from her arms in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland and perished in Treblinka Death Camp. This is a true story of Holocaust survival. In WW2 books, it is a searing story of human rights abuses and genocide. The story of Nazi Germany and the Jews is a story of anti-Semitism, Nazi concentration camps, gas chambers, and World War II.

Under 1990-talet övertalades 26 kapitalstarka och väletablerade personer i Sverige och Finland att investera miljontals kronor i bankgarantiprogram och valutaspekulation. Men allt var ett bedrägeri som iscensatts av en välutbildad och galant kvinna. Från början var kvinnans affärsidé seriös. Med sin bakgrund som bankanställd kom hon i kontakt med många som villigt satsade stora pengar i hennes projekt. Men det hela gick snett. När kvinnan greps i augusti 1999 hade hon försnillat 140 miljoner kronor. Pengarna hade använts till att betala tidigare investerare och privat konsumtion.
