What Peter Cozzens has done with this remarkable book is to show us that the truth about Deadwood is, in fact, even more interesting than the myth. S. C. Gwynne, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of the Summer MoonInfamous for its stage-coach robbing, whiskey-guzzling and rampant prostitution, the gold rush settlement of Deadwood, South Dakota, was once described as the most diabolical town on Earth. Built in 1876 on land brazenly stolen from the Lakota people, it was an outlaw enterprise not subject to US laws or governance.In Deadwood, award-winning historian Peter Cozzens sifts through myth and legend to recount the towns meteoric rise - a place where the currency was gold dust - and its stunning fall. He reveals how Deadwoods foundation bred a self-reliance and a spirit of cooperation unique on the frontier, making it an exceptionally welcoming place at a time of deep-seated discrimination. Along the way, Cozzens pulls back the curtain on legendary figures Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, and introduces us to colourful Deadwoodites: from Jack Langrishe to Judge Kuykendall, and Seth Bullock to Sol Star.This is the first book to tell Deadwoods extraordinary story in full, revealing the true tale of how one frontier town, in only three years, imprinted itself on our imaginations as the best and worst of the West.

In The Hungarian Gentleman Farmer, Baroness Orczy turns her eye once more to the countryside of her beloved homeland, this time exploring the life and traditions of the landed gentry. Through vivid description and personal insight, she captures the rhythms of rural estates, the responsibilities of noble landowners, and the delicate balance between privilege and duty in Hungarian society. Rich with cultural detail, the book highlights the elegance and struggles of a class that stood between aristocracy and peasantry, preserving tradition while facing the pressures of modernity. Part memoir, part social study, it is both an affectionate portrait and a valuable historical record of Hungary at the dawn of the 20th century.

Dieses Buchlein mit dem Titel "Bilder einer Liebe im Schatten des Korans" ist die werdende Metamorphose des Gedichtbandes "Liebe im Schatten des Korans", den ich zusammen mit meiner unendlichen, unsichtbaren Liebe, dem algerischen Soziologen und Dichter Samir Tahadjrit, im Monat Ramadan 2025 schrieb. Wir haben diese Gedichte bereits in verschiedene Sprachen ubersetzt und leicht erweitert. Ich hoffe, dass in diesem Jahr inshallah noch weitere Sprachen folgen werden.Den Ansto zur Verfassung dieses dreisprachigen (deutsch-arabisch-englischen) Gedichtbandes, der die Gedichte von "Liebe im Schatten des Korans" in der Originalsprache einher mit der englischen Ubersetzung enthalt, gab mir unser gemeinsames Gesprach zum Thema des Todes der Poesie. Einerseits gibt es im Band "Liebe im Schatten des Korans" ein Gedicht von mir mit diesem Titel. Andererseits kommt der Tod der Poesie, an den in der Gedichtsammlung aber nur der Geliebte glaubt, auch im Quartett mit dem Titel "Hingabe" vor. Und zwar an dem Punkt, an dem der Geliebte den See von Pablo Nerudas Gedicht "Agua sexual" erreicht hat und dann dort mit seiner Geliebten die eheliche Vereinigung im Schatten des Korans erlebt. Diese Vereinigung erfolgt, nachdem der Geliebte mit der Hingabe, die in seinen Garten eingebrochen war, in diesen See gezogen war.Die Geliebte hat die Hingabe, wenn man das so sagen kann, vervollstandigt, indem sie aus dem ursprunglichen Gedichte "Hingabe" ein Quartett gemacht hat. Das Gedicht "Hingabe" ist wie eine Geige.Ihre vier Saiten stimmen sich aufeinander ab. Das Gedicht Hingabe ist auch chronologisch wie ein Jahr, mit seinen vier Jahreszeiten oder wie ein Leben mit seinen vier Phasen.Aber die Geliebte glaubt nicht an diesen Tod der Poesie und will es nicht beim Gedicht "Hingabe 4" mit dem Untertitel "Bild am See I" belassen...Dreisprachiges Buch in deutscher, arabischer und englischer Sprache

A pioneering female politician who thought women didnt need the vote; a conservative who shared platforms with communists; a shy public speaker who travelled the world speaking for Spanish refugees: the formidable Duchess of Atholl was full of contradictions.Born into an ancient Scottish family and married to a philandering duke, Kitty rose above the constraints of class and convention to become a tireless advocate for women and children. By her election as the first Scottish female MP in 1923, she was one of the most prominent women in Scotland and that was well before she shocked Westminster with outspoken rebellions against her own government.She stood with Spanish refugees and challenged fascism, visited war zones and campaigned with her political opponents, criticised tyrants and wrote her own political playbook. In Red Duchess Kitty Atholls extraordinary life is brought to the spotlight she has long deserved a compelling story of courage, conviction and a woman who refused to play by the rules.

In the early 1820s, Thomas Harvie, a newly rich, arrogant Glasgow distiller, bought Westthorn estate on the eastern edge of the city close to the north bank of the River Clyde. To establish the bounds of his property and keep out intruders, he erected two walls, the larger of which (Harvies Dyke) was massive, fortified and blocked a long-established pathway alongside the river. Colliers and other workers from nearby villages (many of whom regularly used the walkway) were outraged. A large crowd gathered on midsummers evening in 1823 and set about demolishing the wall. After a cavalry charge put an end to the disturbance, dozens of the rioters were arrested and some imprisoned. But Harvie rebuilt his walls, and a six-year struggle with the people of Glasgow ensued, which resulted in a House of Lords ruling in 1828 in favour of those who had campaigned for the liberties of the banks of the Clyde. The episode gripped the city and was heralded in poems, song and newspapers for many decades. It also inspired later protests against landowners who attempted to obstruct public rights of way. This book is testimony to a triumphant victory for ordinary Glaswegians over an uncompromising estate proprietor.

Richard Holloway has been the archetypal turbulent priest. Having risen to be the Primus (Head) of the Scottish Episcopal Church, he abandoned religion and ecclesiastical office to fight for the rights of minorities and to write a string of best selling books, most famously Leaving Alexandria. He also became Chairman of the Scottish Arts Council.In this, his last book, he reflects deeply on his life, most especially as a child of desperately poor parents in Dumbartonshire in Scotland. He tells the story of how he found faith but then abandoned Christian orthodoxy after leaving office as Head of the Scottish Episcopal Church, and discovered a new life as a writer, broadcaster, journalist and public intellectual.This book opens and ends with chapters of a philosophical kind in which he explains how he lost belief in a loving God and became true to himself.

Compulsory reading for anyone interested in the Irish Revolution. Dr Matthew Potter, curator of Limerick MuseumDuring the Irish Civil War, between the 15 and 20 July 1922, the Republican-held Strand Barracks in Limerick, on what is now Clancys Strand, came under constant ferocious attacks from Free State troops.They attacked the barracks repeatedly with armoured cars, and a non-stop bombardment of sniper, machine gun and mortar fire. All attempts to capture the barracks were resisted fiercely by the brave men inside. Finally, when everything else failed to dislodge these gallant men, the Free State turned an 18-pounder Artillery Gun on the barracks. This was the only time a siege gun was used in Limerick since the siege of 1691. The officer in charge was told to surrender the barracks or be held responsible for the loss of life. His response was "he would not surrender while he still had ammunition".This man was Captain Cornelius McNamara of A Company, 2nd Battalion, Mid-Limerick Brigade, but was known to his men as Connie Mackey. An intimate friend of the former Irish president Sean T. OKelly, Connie was part of a golden generation of unselfish Irishmen with high ideals who were prepared to risk and endure everything for the sake of their country and countrymen. This is his story.

Ucraina e NATO: Le Missioni Segrete dal 1992 e le Vere Origini della Guerra con la Russia Uninchiesta storica sulle missioni NATO dellUcraina dal 1992 e sul ruolo nascosto del Pentagono nelle origini del conflitto con la Russia Laltra guerra taciuta: le missioni NATO dellUcraina prima del conflitto con la Russia Dal 1992 al 2022, decine di migliaia di militari ucraini hanno partecipato a missioni militari allestero sotto direzione e coordinamento del Pentagono, in un processo continuo di integrazione operativa con la NATO. LUcraina si e cosi trasformata, passo dopo passo, in un vettore strategico occidentale nel cuore dellEurasia, percepito da Mosca come una minaccia diretta alla propria sicurezza nazionale. Tra le operazioni piu significative di questo percorso: lintervento in Kosovo e la partecipazione alloccupazione dellIraq. Unanalisi documentata e scomoda sulle origini del conflitto attuale Attraverso unimponente raccolta di documenti ufficiali testi parlamentari, atti militari, articoli di giornale e pubblicazioni accademiche questo libro getta luce su un capitolo poco noto della storia recente dellUcraina. Non si tratta di unanalisi superficiale: lautore compone un mosaico dettagliato che ricostruisce le tappe attraverso cui le Forze Armate ucraine sono state progressivamente integrate nella struttura militare occidentale. Una verita spesso ignorata dal dibattito pubblico europeo e italiano. Oltre il 2014: quando e iniziato davvero il controllo NATO sullUcraina Secondo lautore, la narrazione ufficiale che fissa al 2014 linizio delladdestramento NATO alle truppe ucraine in risposta alla crisi di Maidan e alla destituzione del presidente Yanukovic e una falsificazione ideologica. Linizio della cooperazione risalirebbe invece al 1992, con il crollo dellURSS. Gia allora, un gruppo di contatto del Pentagono si insedio a Kiev per avviare un programma di interoperabilita militare: migliaia di ufficiali ucraini furono formati negli Stati Uniti, e milioni di dollari furono investiti per fidelizzare la classe militare ucraina al potere occidentale, con una dinamica che lautore paragona al sistema di clientelismo dellantica Roma. Kosovo e Iraq: i due scheletri nellarmadio della narrazione ucraina Due operazioni militari in particolare spiccano come gravi elementi di ambiguita nella storia recente dellUcraina: la presenza ventennale di truppe ucraine in Kosovo, al fianco della NATO, per imporre la secessione a una Serbia bombardata nel 1999; e linvasione dellIraq, dal 2003 al 2008, con il terzo contingente piu numeroso dopo USA e Regno Unito. Due guerre profondamente controverse, che hanno causato gravi crisi umanitarie, e che lautore presenta come scheletri nellarmadio che oggi meritano di essere esaminati con attenzione, per comprendere davvero le radici geopolitiche del conflitto ucraino. Una teoria storica e politica sulla Classe Armata in Occidente Accanto alla ricostruzione fattuale, il libro propone una riflessione originale sul potere militare contemporaneo. Lautore definisce la Classe Armata come una nuova elite sociale e geopolitica che, nellarco degli ultimi decenni, si e progressivamente imposta come soggetto politico autonomo, con propri interessi, risorse e narrative. Secondo questa tesi, le guerre per la sicurezza avrebbero spesso come obiettivo la riproduzione di potere di que...
