A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies is an account written in 1542 by the Spanish Dominican friar Bartolomé de las Casas (1484-1566).

WAR. It will happen again. We must be ready. Sober words from Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a man who has made the unvarnished truth his specialty. And there’s one eternal truth that Americans are in danger of forgetting: the most important weapon in any geopolitical conflict is the will to win. And we must win.

The events that took place on September 11, 2001, were the most important of our generation. The event must not be forgotten. It should dominate debate, both public and private.

Reports of sexual violence in armed conflict frequently appear in political discussions and news media, presenting a stark contrast to a long history of silence and nonrecognition. Conflict-related sexual violence has transitioned rapidly from a neglected human rights issue to an unambiguous security concern on the agendas of powerful states and the United Nations Security Council. Through interviews and primary-source evidence, Kerry F. Crawford investigates the reasons for this dramatic change and the implications of the securitization of sexual violence.

Vor Jahren erklärte Präsident Bush dem Terror den Krieg, heute will Trump Mauern errichten lassen und polarisiert mit Läster-Tweets und "Lügenpresse": Ein Dauerkrieg gegen immer neue Feinde, Kämpfe an verdeckten und offenen Fronten im In- und Ausland, die Propagierung von unerreichbaren Zielen. Doch die USA im Ausnahmezustand ist kein Phänomen der Neuzeit. Der Ausnahmezustand ist die Basis dieser Gesellschaft, der eigentliche "American Way of Life". Extremsituationen bündeln die Aufmerksamkeit und konzentrieren sie auf das unmittelbare - und vor allem auf das eigene! - Überleben. Extremsituationen entlasten vom Alltag, von der Routine, von der Verantwortung fürs Ganze, von Kontinuität. Sie sind das Lebenselixier einer ruhelosen Gesellschaft.

In The Day Wall Street Exploded, Beverly Gage tells the story of a once infamous but now largely forgotten terrorist attack. On September 16, 1920, a horse-drawn cart packed with dynamite exploded in a spray of metal and fire, turning the busiest corner of America's financial center into a war zone. Based on thousands of pages of Bureau of Investigation reports, this historical detective saga traces the four-year hunt for the perpetrators, a worldwide effort that spread as far as Italy and the new Soviet nation.

The massacre of the Yazidi people by ISIS was nothing less than genocide. In refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan, the authors brought a skilled team to interview more than a hundred ISIS survivors and document what they experienced and saw. These former slaves observed their torturers and knew from the inside the secret facilities that ISIS has kept hidden from the world. What their testimony reveals is an organization whose ambition is power, regardless of their claim to be "soldiers of God."

Med Menneskesmuglere i Agadez. På tomandshånd med Bashar al-Assad i en villa i Damaskus. I centrum af et sønderskudt Mosul, få timer efter byen blev revet ud af Islamisk Stats greb. Til bryllupsfest i det svært tilgængelige Nordkorea. I hælene på de amerikanere, der løftede Donald Trump ind i Det Hvide Hus. Med tapre drenge i Aleppos udbombede gader. På jagt efter den russiske folkestemning. Og midt i optøjer i Jerusalem.

Rasmus Tantholdt rejser ind i verdenshistorien, mens den bliver til. Han opsøger krige og konflikter for at fortælle om de kvinder, mænd og børn, der står midt i dem. Den journalistiske ambition, både i hans mangeårige virke som udenrigskorrespondent for TV 2 og i hans bøger, er at gå til alt og alle med åbne øjne og give plads til forskelligartede stemmer, især dem, vi ikke hører så ofte.

Once upon a time, liberals knew what they believed. They believed America must lead the world by persuasion, not command. And they believed that by championing freedom overseas, America itself could become more free. That liberal spirit won America's trust at the dawn of the Cold War. Then it...

When the terrorist attacks struck New York City on September 11, 2001, boat operators and waterfront workers quickly realized that they had the skills, the equipment, and the opportunity to take definite, immediate action in responding to the most significant destructive event in the United States in decades. For many of them, they were “doing what needed to be done”. American Dunkirk shows how people, many of whom were volunteers, mobilized rescue efforts in various improvised and spontaneous ways on that fateful date.

But it didn't take long for Kassem to realise that he was treated differently at school because of his family's resistance to the brutal government regime.
