Ce recueil dresse la chronologie de l'Affaire et rappelle la férocité de cette lutte pour la vérité et la justice commencée le 25 novembre 1897 avec son premier article en faveur de Dreyfus, jusqu'à sa dernière lettre au président de la République le 22 décembre 1900. À cette date, Dreyfus n'a pas été réhabilité et Zola ne peut l'accepter.

In this widely praised book, Annik LaFarge presents a very different Frédéric Chopin from the melancholy, sickly, Romantic figure that has predominated for so long. The artist she discovered is, instead, a purely independent - and endlessly relevant - spirit: an innovator who created a new musical language; an autodidact who became a spiritually generous, trailblazing teacher; a stalwart patriot during a time of revolution, pandemic, and exile.

"We are provincials no longer," said Woodrow Wilson on March 5, 1917, at his second inaugural. He spoke on the eve of America's entrance into World War I, as Russia teetered between autocracy and democracy. Just 10 days after Wilson's declaration, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated the throne, ending a three-centuries-long dynasty and ushering in the false dawn of a democratic Russia. Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany a few short weeks later.

A history of the American Civil War naval battle, the first confrontation between two Ironclads, featuring accounts from men who lived through it. "Ironclad against ironclad, we maneuvered about the bay here and went at each other with mutual fierceness," reported Chief Engineer Alban Stimers following that momentous engagement between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (ex USS Merrimack) in Hampton Roads, Sunday, March 9, 1862. The day before, the Rebel ram had obliterated two powerful Union warships and was poised to destroy more.

In June 1944, the Nazis locked 18-year-old Dave Hersch into a railroad boxcar and shipped him from his hometown of Dej, Hungary, to Mauthausen Concentration Camp, the harshest, cruellest camp in the Reich. After 10 months in the granite mines of Mauthausen's nearby sub-camp, Gusen, he weighed less than 80 lbs., nothing but skin and bones. As Allied forces drew near Dave was forced to join a death march to Gunskirchen Concentration Camp, over 30 miles away. Soon after the start of the march, and more dead than alive, Dave summoned a burst of energy he did not know he had and escaped.

Peter von Scholten, generalguvernør på De Vestindiske Øer gennem mere end tyve år, var i alt, han gjorde, drevet af kærlighed: kærlighed til kvinder, til penge og magt, til øerne og deres sorte befolkning. Men den mand, der i 1848 endelig satte danskernes slaver fri, var og forbliver et mysterium. Hvordan kan man forklare Peter von Scholtens usandsynlige lynkarriere fra ydmyg vejermester i Charlotte Amalie på St. Thomas til den mægtigste post i Dansk Vestindien? Hvorfra stammede hans nære forhold til kong Frederik den 6.
