Angela Merkel hat die Republik verändert wie kein Kanzler vor ihr. Machtwille und Bindungslosigkeit machten sie den Westpolitikern überlegen. Das Herrschaftswissen der gescheiterten DDR und mächtige Gönner in der West-CDU lieferten ihr den Spielraum für eine Kehrtwende in der gesamtdeutschen Politik. Merkel verschob die politische Mitte nach links und schleifte CDU-Bastionen. Die Kanzlerin der Einheit sprach das Siegersyndrom der Deutschen an: Überall die Ersten und Besten sein, gekoppelt an die Unfähigkeit, mit der Rolle der Deutschen als Täter umzugehen.

The World War II era produced many leaders of titanic determination, men whose strengths and weaknesses left an extraordinary imprint on historical affairs. Josip Broz Tito, better known to history as Marshal Tito, was undoubtedly one of these figures.

World War II proved the watershed that enabled him to secure control of the country.

Seitdem steht er unter Polizeischutz.

Timothy Snyder opens a new path in the understanding of modern nationalism and 20th-century socialism by presenting the often overlooked life of Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz, an important Polish thinker at the beginning of the 20th century. During his brief life in Poland, Paris, and Vienna, Kelles-Krauz influenced or infuriated most of the leaders of the various socialist movements of Central Europe and France. His central ideas ultimately were not accepted by the socialist mainstream at the time of his death.

À compter du 16 mai 2007, j'étais seul. Bien sûr, il y avait le peuple français, mais sa force collective ne s'exprime pas dans le quotidien des décisions à prendre, ou des nominations à effectuer. J'avais une équipe, des conseillers, des amis, des visiteurs du soir, mais j'étais seul à prendre et à assumer la décision finale. C'est le premier sentiment qui m'a envahi après avoir raccompagné Jacques Chirac à sa voiture et être remonté dans le bureau présidentiel qui était devenu le mien pour les cinq années à venir.

Das literarische Werk Georg Büchners ist verblüffend vielfältig - gerade angesichts seines so dramatisch kurzen Lebens. In nicht einmal 24 Jahren schaffte er es, als Schriftsteller, Naturwissenschaftler und Revolutionär zu einer der bedeutendsten Figuren des deutschen Vormärz zu werden. Vom hessischen Goddelau führte ihn der Weg über Straßbur und Gießen bis nach Zürich, wo er 1837 dem Typhus erlag.

War as I Knew It is the personal and candid account of General George S. Patton, Jr.'s celebrated, relentless crusade across Europe during World War II. First published in 1947, this absorbing narrative draws on Patton's vivid memories of battle and his detailed diaries, from the moment the Third Army exploded onto the Brittany Peninsula to the final Allied casualty report. The result is not only a grueling, human account of daily combat but also a valuable chronicle of the strategies and fiery personality of a brilliant warrior.
