Göring a psychiater - Osudové stretnutia s nacistickým zločincom


Keď po svojom zajatí na konci druhej svetovej vojny prišiel ríšsky maršal Hermann Göring do amerického detenčného centra v Luxembursku, mal so sebou šestnásť kufrov a červenú krabicu s klobúkmi. V batožine si okrem iného priniesol medaily, drahokamy, dva nože na cigary, hodvábnu spodnú bielizeň a hotovosť v hodnote jedného milióna dolárov. Do plechovky od kávy ukryl mosadzné fľaštičky so sklenenými kapsulami, ktoré obsahovali smrteľne jedovatý kyanid draselný. Ku Göringovi sa postupne pripojili predstavitelia elity nacistického režimu, ktorí sa pred tribunálom v Norimbergu mali zodpovedať za vojnové zločiny. O to, aby boli prominentní zajatci spôsobilí postaviť sa pred súd, sa mal postarať kapitán Douglas M. Kelley. Ambiciózny armádny psychiater si myslel, že sa mu núka jedinečná príležitosť objaviť u týchto arcizločincov charakteristickú črtu, ktorá by ich psychologicky odlišovala od zvyšku ľudstva. Lenže aj zlo má svoj šarm a pátranie po jeho podstate nabralo nečakaný rozmer, keď si Kelley vytvoril s Göringom blízky vzťah. Kniha vychádza z Kelleyho rozsiahlej zbierky osobných i profesionálnych dokumentov vrátane lekárskych záznamov obžalovaných nacistov, ktoré boli desaťročia ukryté. Z anglického originálu The Nazi and the Psychiatrist (PublicAffairs, an imprint of Basic Books Group, a division of Hachette Book Group, Inc., New York 2013) preložila Zuzana Smolinská.

Ako sa vyliečiť zo svojej rodiny


Konečne sa sám rozhodnúť... Ten zoznam býva dlhý: nedostatok sebadôvery, zložité nadväzovanie vzťahov, ťažkosti v láske, neschopnosť sebarealizácie... Zdá sa, že mnohé z týchto zdanlivo neprekonateľných problémov, ktoré nás trápia, majú korene v príbehoch našich predkov. Aké dedičstvo nám títo ľudia zanechali? Dokážeme sa niekedy oslobodiť spod jeho ťarchy? Táto kniha nám otvára dvere k preskúmaniu rodinného rodokmeňa, aby sme hlbšie pochopili príčiny našich vlastných neúspechov. Ako sa utkvelé predstavy a očakávania našich predkov odrážajú v našich životných osudoch? Koho vlastne poslúchame a nasledujeme, keď sa nám v živote neustále opakujú nešťastné vzťahy a partnerstvá, keď sa opakovane rútime do pracovných neúspechov, keď si jednoducho nedovolíme prežívať radosť zo života? Ak chceme pochopiť smutný scenár svojho osobného príbehu, potrebujeme sa hlbšie ponoriť do príbehu svojej rodiny a postupne dospieť k vedomému prijatiu skutočnosti, že svoj život potrebujeme vziať do vlastných rúk. Napriek determinizmu, s ktorým sme sa narodili a ktorého dôsledky znášame, pretože sme vzišli z určitej rodinnej minulosti, máme v sebe schopnosť sa o tú minulosť pevne oprieť a budovať základy pre svoju budúcnosť slobodne a na svoj obraz.

Gengszterkorzó Havannában


Hogyan lett Havanna a maffia új játszótere? Miért tekintette Meyer Lansky Kubát ,,második otthonának"? És hogyan lett a kaszinók, bordélyok és szivarfüstös szállodák paradicsomából forradalmi lángtenger? Lénárt András könyve lebilincselő történelmi nyomozás: feltárja, hogyan fonódott össze a 20. század közepén az amerikai szervezett bűnözés és a kubai hatalom, miként szivárgott be a maffia a politikába, a gazdaságba, és hogyan lett Kuba az amerikai alvilág egyik legfontosabb külföldi bástyája - egészen Fidel Castro hatalomra jutásáig. A történet nem csupán gengszterekről szól: megjelenik benne Frank Sinatra és a Kennedy család, a CIA titkos akciói, és természetesen a havannai maffiakongresszus is, ahol a valóság nem ritkán felülmúlja a filmeket. A Gengszterkorzó Havannában egyszerre oknyomozó történeti munka és izgalmas kultúrtörténet. A szerző nemcsak levéltári anyagokra és titkosított CIA- és FBI-jelentésekre támaszkodik, hanem interjúkra, visszaemlékezésekre, filmes és irodalmi utalásokra is, hogy teljes képet adjon egy alig ismert, de rendkívül fontos korszakról.

Obchodní hra. Zpověď kluka z londýnské City


Už když jako kluk kopal v ulicích východního Londýna do odřeného míče, snil Gary Stevenson o něčem velkém. Pak se zúčastnil matematické soutěže zvané obchodní hra. Výhra? Vstupenka do nového života. Gary se stal nejmladším obchodníkem Citibank, jedné z největších finančních institucí na světě, a přes veškerou pravděpodobnost brzy uzavíral obchody v hodnotě miliard dolarů. Denně. Jenomže se psal rok 2008 a Gary vydělával sázením na to, že miliony lidí zchudnou – miliony lidí podobných těm, s nimiž vyrůstal. Obchodní hra je šokující, nepřikrášlené, napínavé svědectví o temných zákoutích opojného světa obchodníků od někoho, kdo hru přežil. „Neuvěřitelně důležitá kniha přicházející v pravý čas... něco jako Vlk z Wall Street s morálním kompasem, odhaluje duchovní prázdnotu systémů a procesů, které nás ovládají a omezují naši lidskost.“ Irvine Welsh, autor knihy Trainspotting Nominace na Financial Times Business Book of the Year Podle knihy se připravuje minisérie

Gustavus v Wallenstein


The book described the conflict, personal rivalry and contrast in personality, generalship and command, between the two iconic commanders in the Thirty Years War, King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden for the Protestant powers, and Albrecht von Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland. More than just commanders at the tactical level they were statesmen, military organisers and strategists on a continental scale. Both commanders represented the 17th-century ‘military revolution in action’. The writing is vivid, graphic and detailed, without overloading, and readers can feel ‘involved’ in the action, from strategic planning to battlefield tactics, and even the melee. Both generals are titanic figures, and their respective deaths - Gustavus heroically in battle and Wallenstein, murdered with the Emperor’s compliance – were dramatic highpoints in the long war. This is no hagiography, and the author analyses the contrasting reputations of two of the greatest military figures in modern history and analyses mistakes as well their triumphs. Both commanders’ understanding of the role of the modern state and finance as vital factors in the military revolution and modern warfare. A major contrast was Gustavus’s constant search for the tactical and strategic initiative compared to Wallenstein’s caution and patience and development of counter-punch defensive tactics. Exceptional for the period, a young warrior like an ‘Alexander’, Gustavus excelled in inspired battlefield leadership even at huge risk. Despite his death at Lutzen in 1632, he and his steadfast chancellor Oxenstierna, decisively defeated the Emperor’s attempt to subjugate the Empire and introduce the Catholic counter-reformation. Gustavus contributed hugely to the ending of Habsburg supremacy while advancing new concepts in modern war. His death ushered in his acolytes including generals Baner, Saxe-Weimar and Torstensson. Gustavus or Wallenstein, the greater of the two? The reader must judge but Napoleon included Gustavus in his list of ten greats with Julius Caesar, Hannibal Barca, and Alexander the Great.

Queen Victoria's Colonial Troops, 1837-1901


Queen Victoria famously presided over an empire upon which the sun never set. Extending, defending and policing Britain’s global territories required the British Army to fight a bewildering array of foes, in equally varied terrain and climates. From the subarctic mountains of Canada to the Sahara Desert and the South African veldt, from the jungles of West Africa and central India to China, the British forces flew the flag. The task was only made possible by the recruitment of troops from throughout the colonies, some of which then served far from home (such as the Australians used in the Boer Wars). Colonial troops not only boosted the numbers available to the Empire’s forces but their local knowledge of climate and terrain, as well as their differing fighting styles, offered vital variety and flexibility. This allowed the ‘British’ armies to adapt to the wide range of enemies and environments encountered.Gabriele Esposito offers an excellent overview of the troops raised from every corner of the British Empire, discussing their organization, weapons, uniform and equipment as well as how and where they were employed. The informative text is lavishly illustrated with colour artworks.

Couple Relations


In this book, Mary Morgan provides a comprehensive understanding of couple relations. Taking a psychoanalytic perspective, Morgan explores some of the fundamental tensions in being part of a couple: between being an individual and a couple, relating, non-relating, and the narcissistic problem in tolerating the otherness and alienness of one’s partner. She guides the reader through managing feelings of both separateness and intimacy, issues around sex and sexuality, the tension between love and hate, and the importance of curiosity. She also elucidates key discoveries of unconscious processes in a couple relationship made by couple psychoanalysts, including unconscious choice of partner, the couple projective system, shared unconscious phantasy and beliefs, unconscious alliances, the couple’s own transference relationship and how the real "presence" of an other is seen as an "interference" acting on the preconceptions of the other subject. Through Morgan’s accessible and holistic approach, drawing on decades of clinical experience, this book is an essential resource for all psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapists, counsellors working with couples, and researchers and students in Gender Studies, social sciences, psychology and the humanities.

Matisse at War


In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads. His 42-year marriage had ended, he was gravely ill, and after decades at the forefront of modern art, he was beset by doubt. As scores of famous figures escaped the country, Matisse took refuge in Nice, with his companion, Lydia Delectorskaya. By defiantly remaining, Matisse was a source of inspiration for his nation. While enemy agents and Resistance fighters played cat-and-mouse in the alleyways of Nice, Matisse''s son, Jean, engaged in sabotage efforts with the Allies. In Paris, under the swastika, Matisse''s estranged wife, Amelie, worked for the Communist underground. His beloved daughter, Marguerite, active in the French Resistance, was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo, sentenced to Ravensbruck concentration camp - and miraculously escaped when her train was halted by Allied bombs. His younger, son, Pierre helped Jewish artists escape to New York; even his teenaged grandson risked his life by defying the Germans and their Vichy collaborators. Amidst this chaos, Matisse responded to the dark days of war by inventing a dazzling new paper technique that led to some of his most iconic pieces, including The Fall of Icarus, his profile of Charles De Gaulle, Monsieur Loyal, and his groundbreaking cut-out book, Jazz. His wartime works were acts of resistance, subtly patriotic and daringly new. Drawing on intimate letters and a multitude of other sources, Christopher C. Gorham illuminates this momentous stage of Matisse''s life as never before, revealing an artist on a journey of reinvention, wrenching meaning from the suffering of war, and holding up the light of human imagination against the torch of fascism to create some of the most exciting work of his career, of the 20th century, and in the history of art.

Tanks on the Streets?


At 12.08pm on Friday 31 January 1919, Margaret Buchanan drives her tram into George Square in Glasgow’s city centre. She slows down to avoid the youths and men holding their arms up to stop her; some even jump onto the front of her tram. Swirling around her tram is a sea of heavy-coated men who have been on strike since Monday, demanding a reduction to a forty-hour working week. Crucially, the tram workers have not joined the strike; they are being abused as ‘scabs’. Constables and officers of Glasgow’s police force use their hands to try to part the crowd to allow the tram to proceed, but their efforts fail and batons are drawn.Within minutes, the violence will have spread across and beyond the Square; men will have been injured; the Sheriff will have read the Riot Act; strike leaders will lie stunned and bleeding inside the City Chambers; policemen and protestors will lie beaten in the streets.The violence and destruction in the Square, the streets to the north and south, in Glasgow Green and even south of the River Clyde, involves thousands of men. The city authorities believe the situation is beyond the control of the outnumbered police; the Sheriff sends a message to the local army commander requesting assistance.For the first time in history, tanks will be despatched as ‘military aid to the civil power’. They will be accompanied by 10,000 soldiers. At approximately 12.30pm on Friday 31 January 1919, a century of myth-making commences. Using thousands of pages of court papers, memoirs and news reports, this book is the first attempt to tell the story of what happened in day-by-day detail.

The Yellowlegs


The story of America’s cavalry is rich with colorful personalities and thrilling action, shaping much of the early military history of the United States. In this lively account, the author, an avid horseman, explores the key events and figures that defined the cavalry’s formative years.From the American Revolution, where figures like Henry ‘Light-Horse Harry’ Lee III and Francis Marion pioneered guerrilla tactics, the narrative moves to Stephen Kearny, known as the ‘Father of the Cavalry.’ Kearny’s Dragoons famously traveled West to California on mules. The account also highlights other iconic figures, including Jonathan ‘Stonewall’ Jackson, George Crook, who respected the Native Americans he was ordered to fight, and George Armstrong Custer, whose tragic defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 remains a pivotal moment in American history.The narrative also touches on Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and Black Jack Pershing, who led his troops in automobiles. This saga of daring raids, epic marches, and grueling battles reflects not only the legacy of the U.S. Cavalry but also the birth and growth of America itself.

The Phantom Train: Deporting Prisoners from Occupied France


On 3 July 1944, a train of cattle wagons set out from Toulouse, heading for Germany. Crammed inside eventually were 724 souls of various nationalities and backgrounds, all of whom the German occupiers had held captive in concentration camps and prisons across south-western France. Among them was Francesco Fausto Nitti, an Italian antifascist activist who had survived Mussolini’s gaols and the Spanish Civil War.The journey to Dachau was expected to take three days. Instead – bombed, re-routed and often immobilised – it lasted for two months, making it the longest of all deportation journeys out of France during the Second World War. Nitti kept a daily log of the odyssey of the Phantom Train, as it has become known, and the document was in his pocket when, on 25 August, he and some fellow captives made a perilous last-minute escape by removing some of their wagon’s floorboards and lowering themselves onto the track as the train sped through the night.Once back with his family and the Resistance, Nitti turned his log into a book, which was published at the end of 1944 by a small press run by a Resistance member. Now, with this first English translation of The Phantom Train and an extended introduction, a whole new readership can learn about that never-ending journey to Dachau and everything that led up to it, and marvel at the determination and endurance of some courageous people, notably the remarkable Francesco Fausto Nitti.
