From the acclaimed author of JFK and Vietnam comes a book that uncovers the government's role in the Kennedy assassination more clearly than any previous inquiry. What was the extent of the CIA's involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald? Why was Oswald's file tampered with before the assassination of John F. Kennedy? And why did significant documents from that file mysteriously disappear? Oswald and the CIA answers these questions, not with theories, but with information from the primary sources themselves - ex-agents, officials, and secret records.

Stalking the Red Bear, for the first time ever, describes the action principally from the perspective of a commanding officer of a nuclear submarine during the Cold War - the one man aboard a sub who makes the critical decisions - taking us closer to the Soviet target than any work on submarine espionage has ever done before. This is the untold story of a covert submarine espionage operation against the Soviet Union during the Cold War as experienced by the commanding officer of an active submarine.

Fascinující popis Ruska a jeho společnosti od odborníka z nejpovolanějších – českého novináře, překladatele a komentátora ruského původu, Alexandra Mitrofanova. Autor nejen trefně popisuje současný stav země rozkládající se na dvou světadílech, který směřuje k totalitnímu státu, ale hledá odpovědi na otázky, proč se tak děje, kde je počátek toho všeho a zda tomu lze zabránit.

Nicolai Lilin ricostruisce la vita sorprendente e la folgorante ascesa politica di Vladimir Putin, da una misera casa popolare nel quartiere criminale di Leningrado alla poltrona presidenziale del Cremlino. Con il suo tipico stile potente che ti cattura e non ti lascia andare fino alla fine, Lilin indaga non solo la storia ma anche l'animo di Putin. Come in un romanzo ne racconta le origini, ne descrive le trasformazioni, ne ricorda i talenti che lo hanno portato a diventare il personaggio che conosciamo.

Med 16 ÅR I SIBIRIEN, der udkom første gang i 1982, gav Rachel og Israel Rachlin et gribende vidnesbyrd om, hvordan en familie overlevede og blev stærkere under en tvangsforflytnings hårde vilkår. I SKÆBNER I SIBIRIEN fortælles om andre ofre for Stalintidens vilkårlighed. Men det er også en beretning om 'Det andet Rusland', som langt ude i den sibiriske taiga foldede sig ud på sine helt egne og som oftest positive bestingelser. Billedet af deportationsårene udvides fra Rachlin-familien til omverdenen.
