From the Moon landing to the dawning of the atomic age, the decades prior to the 1970s were characterized by the routine invention of transformative technologies at breakneck speed.

Citizen is Clinton’s front-row, first-person chronicle of his post-presidential years and the most significant events of the twenty-first century, including 9/11 and the runup to the Iraq War, the Haiti earthquake, the Great Recession, COVID-19, the January 6th insurrection, and the enduring culture wars of our times. Yet Citizen is more than a presidential memoir.

The Russo-Ukraine War is a vital learning opportunity for military strategists across the globe. The first and clearest lesson to be gleaned from it is this: the soundness of a military's strategy and the nimbleness with which it can adapt to unforeseen circumstances are the two most important factors in deciding victory or defeat. The War for Ukraine analyzes the war through these twin lenses of strategy and adaptation, detailing how each army has succeeded or failed to plan for and adapt to this twenty-first century war.

Het verzwegen verhaal van een Amsterdamse familie die zich schuldig maakte aan verraad en collaboreerde met de nazi's. 'Als je voorouders helden waren, dan lijkt dat ook iets over jezelf te zeggen. Alsof een stukje van hun heldendom ook afgeeft op jou. Maar wat als je voorouders verraders waren, zoals de mijne? En aan de verkeerde kant van de geschiedenis stonden?'. Stephanie Biesheuvel stuitte bij toeval op een familiegeheim toen haar overgrootvader in Het Parool werd genoemd als de mogelijke verrader van Anne Frank.

Par une froide nuit d'hiver, alors que toute la ville était plongée dans la torpeur, Monsieur Descartes doutait : Se pourrait-il que trois et deux ne fassent pas cinq ? Que le monde, finalement, soit un rêve ?
