Knowledge = Power

A 50th-anniversary Deluxe Edition of the incomparable 20th-century  masterpiece of satire and fantasy, in a newly revised version of the  acclaimed Pevear and Volokhonsky translation

This book is the culmination of  more than three decades of meticulous historiographic research on Nazi  Germany by one of the period's most distinguished historians. The volume  brings together the most important and influential aspects of Ian  Kershaw's research on the Holocaust for the first time. The writings are  arranged in three sections - Hitler and the Final Solution, popular  opinion and the Jews in Nazi Germany, and the Final Solution in  historiography - and Kershaw provides an introduction and a closing  section on the uniqueness of Nazism.

Kershaw was a founding historian of the social history of the Third  Reich, and he has throughout his career conducted pioneering research on  the societal causes and consequences of Nazi policy. His work has  brought much to light concerning the ways in which the attitudes of the  German populace shaped and did not shape Nazi policy. This volume  presents a comprehensive, multifaceted picture both of the destructive  dynamic of the Nazi leadership and of the attitudes and behavior of  ordinary Germans as the persecution of the Jews spiraled into total  genocide.

Josef Stalin exercised supreme power in the Soviet Union from 1929  until his death in 1953. During that quarter century, by Oleg  Khlevniuk's estimate, he caused the imprisonment and execution of no  fewer than a million Soviet citizens per year. Millions more were  victims of famine directly resulting from Stalin's policies. What drove  him toward such ruthlessness?

This essential biography, by the author most deeply familiar with the  vast archives of the Soviet era, offers an unprecedented, fine-grained  portrait of Stalin, the man and dictator. Without mythologizing Stalin  as either benevolent or an evil genius, Khlevniuk resolves numerous  controversies about specific events in the dictator's life while  assembling many hundreds of previously unknown letters, memos, reports,  and diaries into a comprehensive, compelling narrative of a life that  altered the course of world history.

In brief, revealing prologues to each chapter, Khlevniuk takes his reader into Stalin's favorite dacha, where the innermost circle of Soviet leadership gathered as their vozhd lay dying. Chronological chapters then illuminate major themes:  Stalin's childhood, his involvement in the Revolution and the early  Bolshevik government under Lenin, his assumption of undivided power and  mandate for industrialization and collectivization, the Terror, World  War II, and the postwar period. At the book's conclusion, the author  presents a cogent warning against nostalgia for the Stalinist era.

A magnificent new biography that revolutionizes our understanding of Stalin and his world

Robert Cialdini-Instant Influence

The most authoritative life of the Chinese leader every written, Mao: The Unknown Story is  based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao’s  close circle in China who have never talked before — and with virtually  everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him. It is full  of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and  showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or  ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back  to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese  occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned, and blackmailed  to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was  to dominate the world. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38  million people in the greatest famine in history. In all, well over 70  million Chinese perished under Mao’s rule — in peacetime.
