Un documento único: la transcripción de las conversaciones que mantuvo Leon Goldensohn, psiquiatra del Ejército Estadounidense, con los principales encausados en el proceso de Núremberg.En 1946, con los juicios de Nuremberg en marcha, el psiquiatra del ejercito estadounidense Leon Goldensohn recibio el encargo de entrevistar a dos docenas de lideres alemanes encausados, asi como a numerosos testigos de la defensa y de la acusacion. El contenido de estas conversaciones no se ha desvelado hasta ahora, mas de cincuenta años despues.Robert Gellately -uno de los principales historiadores especializados en la Alemania nazi- nos ofrece en este libro treinta y tres de estas entrevistas (cuidadosamente transcritas, editadas y anotadas) con soldados y algunos de los oficiales nazis de mayor graduacion encarcelados en Nuremberg, entre los que se encuentran Hans Frank, Hermann Goring, Ernest Kaltenbrunner y Joachim von Ribbentrop.Como entrevistador, Goldensohn era especialmente astuto y, en cada una de las conversaciones, logro extraer las motivaciones y la desviacion moral que llevo a estos hombres a planear y cometer tan diabolicos crimenes. Nos presenta a unos soldados y oficiales que se debaten entre la admision y la negacion de los hechos, bien acusando a sus superiores o considerando que actuaron correctamente en todo momento.Gracias a la informacion biografica y las notas con las que Gellately ha completado cada entrevista, esta obra aporta informacion imprescindible para comprender la mentalidad y la mision de una ideologia enloquecida.

Jones has an eagles high eye for the history of RomeThe TimesttJones makes the classical world feel both beguiling and freshSunday TimesThe untold story of the real people who built an empireThe plebs were the backbone of Roman civilization. They were the farmers who fed the city, the soldiers who conquered the Mediterranean, and the craftsmen who built the monuments we still admire today.In Plebs Romana, renowned classicist and bestselling author Peter Jones takes us through the twists and turns of Romes turbulent history - from bloody conquests and civil wars to street riots and shocking scandals - to reveal how this disparate, downtrodden underclass evolved into a political force that challenged the ruling elite and transformed the Roman Republic.From debt crises to dinner parties, graffiti to gladiators, slaves to strikes, Jones provides fascinating insights into every aspect of ordinary Roman life. It is an extraordinary and entertaining account that, for the first time, places at the heart of the story Romes working people, who unwittingly helped to lay the foundations of our political system.

A Cool Head in Hell is a compelling historical narrative based on Harry Silmans diary, arguably the only contemporaneous account by a POW under the Japanese to survive WW2. In it, as well as in letters and later accounts, Silman details his experiences as a doctor in the British Army from the Dunkirk evacuation (in which he was amongst the last soldiers delivered to safety) to his deployment to Singapore and subsequent capture by Japanese troops.Silmans vivid diary entries take us through his time as a detainee in the notorious Changi prison camp, and as a forced labourer on the Burma Railway. His calm manner, resourcefulness, resilience and positive nature during such cruel conditions, in which survival was a daily gamble, stand out and his perspective is up-front, as he was tasked with care of so many ill, wounded and dying fellow combatants.Harrys diary, compiled on scraps and hidden improbably under the threat of extreme sanction,offers rare insight into the survival strategies and medical challenges endured by the prisoners of war, and the deep bonds they formed. The narrative is rich with personal anecdotes, including Harrys enduring friendship with an Anglican padre and his leadership in organising Jewish services, providing a poignant look at faith, community and solidarity in horrific circumstances.Astutely edited by Harrys daughter Jacqueline Passman, the book also reflects on the psychological and emotional aftermath of captivity, examining how Harrys experiences shaped him long after liberation.

Esta es una historia real e intensa, inscrita en la transicion del Porfiriato a los fuegos de la Revolucion y los origenes delautomovilismo en Mexico, con el telon de fondo de una ciudad agobiada por los combates, la escasez y las epidemias, en la que, sin embargo, la vida seguia, los teatros lucian abarrotados y la poblacion se emocionaba con las primeras peliculas de produccion nacional.
