These pages are filled with early historical accounts of the French Quarter and the hotel's visionary creator, Antonio Monteleone, but they are also packed with humorous memories from notable...

The publisher of this book was a man who was born in 1938, in a free and democratic country (Estonia), with Estonian identity and citizenship. That all was amended in 1940 by Russian Empire as a result of the occupation of a sovereign country. The book was written with help of leading specialists of that time and with an attempt to stay neutral, almost as bystanders. The purpose was to describe cultures and ethnic groups of people who have suffered or have been eradicated under the power of...

25 aastat tagasi, 1986. aasta 26. aprillil kell 1.23 plahvatas Tšernobõli tuumaelektrijaama 4. energiaploki reaktor, millest aurustus ja heideti atmosfääri 50 tonni tuumakütust. Radioaktiivse pilvena kandus see üle Valgevene, Venemaa, Poola, Skandinaavia ja Baltimaade. Eesti jäi küll saastepilvest märkimisväärselt puutumata, kuid õnnetus tabas meie kodusid teisel moel: 1986.–1989. saadeti Eestist Tšernobõli katastroofipiirkonda ligemale 5000 meest. Mälestusteraamatus meenutavad kordusõppuste...

The invasion of Occupied Europe loomed but the battle against Nazi Germany was just in its infancy. Fighter production was on the rise, tanks were still rolling off the German production lines, and the early air attacks by the Allies had resulted in meager damage. Clearly a change was in order. In 1943, that change came about through the declaration of a Combined Bomber Offensive which called for the destruction of Germany by air. Long before American soldiers set foot on continental Europe, the...

Reisiparvlaev Estonia väljus Tallinna sadamast 27. septembril 1994, pardal 989 inimest. Peatekil asus sõjaline veos, mis pidi läbi Rootsi minema teise riiki. Estonia uppus öösel tugevas tuules, mis polnud aga veel kasvanud tormiks. Uppumise kulg oli dramaatiline. Laevad ei upu sellepärast, et puhub tugev tuul või et pardal on sõjaline veos. Kõik meremehed on merel näinud tugevaimaidki tuuli ja sõjalisi veoseid veavad paljud kaubalaevad. Kuid Estonia oli reisilaev ja see suunas kogu vastutuse...

In Namibia, the 1980s were a dark decade of human rights abuses by South African security forces. Justice David Smuts, then a young Windhoek lawyer, felt compelled to take on the system. His gripping memoir details several dramatic cases, including the freeing of detainees held secretly for six years, proving that torture was used to extract ‘confessions’ and that Koevoet knowingly killed citizens. He also takes a new look at the assassination of his close friend, SWAPO activist Anton Lubowski.

‘Let me say to Mr Botha: apartheid is doomed! It has been condemned in the Councils of God, rejected by every nation on the planet and is no longer believed in by the people who gave it birth. Apartheid is the god that has failed … let not one more sacred life be offered on its blood-stained altar …’ This is what Bishop Peter Storey preached in 1986. Challenging apartheid wherever he could, he led the Methodist Church of Southern Africa into what many white congregants saw as uncomfortable...

‘The emotional debate about South Africa’s past of colonialism and apartheid draws heavily on the assumption that our history differs little from that of other Western colonies where the land was forcibly taken from an indigenous population which was decimated or completely marginalised. A comparative study of colonialism, however, reveals several features that have made South Africa exceptional …’ Hermann Giliomee, pre-eminent South African historian, dissects the forces that shaped the...

What does it take to deceive those closest to you? How do you lead a double life and not lose yourself? Is there ever a point of return? These are the themes – and more – that Jonathan Ancer explores as he tells the tales of some of South Africa’s most unusual and successful spies: from the navy superspy on the Russian payroll to the party girl who fell in love with Cuba, from the accidental mole in the heart of Pretoria’s war on the frontline states to the idealistic students used and abused in...

Alates 1930. aastatest kuni oma surmani 1953. a lasi Jossif Stalin hukata enam kui miljon oma riigi kodanikku. Veel mitut miljonit tabas sunnitöö, asumisele saatmine, nälg, verised massimõrvad, vahistamised ja ülekuulamised Stalini käsilaste poolt. Stalini genotsiidid on nende kuritööde õõvastav lugu. Raamat väidab, et Stalini režiimi ajal 1930ndail aastail toimunud jõhkrad tapmised olid tõepoolest genotsiidiaktid ning et nende taga oli Nõukogude diktaator isiklikult.

Viktor Suvorovi triloogia „Suure Aastakümne kroonika“ teine raamat „Murdumine“ viib aastatesse 1956-1957. Stalini surma ja Beria hukkamise järel on Nõukogude Liidus absoluutse võimu tipus kaks meest – Kommunistliku Partei juht Nikita Hruštšov ja „Võidu marssal“ Georgi Žukov. Kahekesi paistavad nad põrmu Molotovi, Malenkovi ja Kaganovitši „parteivastase grupi“, ent peagi seisavad nad teineteisega silm silma vastas. Kes keda? Taustaks 1956. aasta Ungari ülestõus ja esimese sputniku lend.
