Tito and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia

Autor: Richard West

Número de Páginas: 379

Few figures have dominated a nation's destiny as much as Marshal Tito of former Yugoslavia. For nearly thirty years he held together mutually hostile religious groups in a deeply divided country, but his death in 1980 rekindled centuries-old hatreds and by 1992 Yugoslavia ceased to exist. In this revealing biography, Richard West questions the full impact of Tito's reign of power and his implicit responsibility for the ensuing violent, bloody war in Bosnia. 'Excellent ... I recommend his book for those who already know about Yugoslavia and want food for thought about the future.' David Owen, Sunday Times 'Admirable ... Carefully researched and extremely readable.' Literary Review 'A passionate book, in which West's historical sense is interlaced with his own very intimate knowledge of Yugoslavia from the late 1940s on and of the poignancy of [subsequent] events.' Fergus Pyle, Irish Times 'Masterly'. Glasgow Herald

Escritores y artistas bajo el comunismo

Autor: Manuel Florentín

Número de Páginas: 1173

Escribir libremente, crear obras artísticas sin seguir los cánones establecidos o informar objetivamente fueron actividades de alto riesgo en los países comunistas. Escritores y artistas bajo el comunismo es un libro único en el mundo, una historia del socialismo totalitario a través de las vivencias y las obras de los escritores, intelectuales, periodistas, músicos, pintores, cineastas y artistas de todo tipo, que sufrieron la represión de los regímenes comunistas. Bien porque sus obras no exaltaban los éxitos del comunismo o porque no se ajustaban al canon literario y artístico del partido; bien por su carácter crítico respecto al sistema, por reclamar libertad, democracia y respeto a los derechos humanos; o simplemente porque aquellos creadores cayeron en desgracia. Esta obra cubre todos los países en los que hubo, o hay, regímenes comunistas o afines. A través de las vivencias y obras de estos escritores y artistas, personas con nombres y apellidos, se pretende recordar también a los millones de seres anónimos, olvidados, que sufrieron esa misma represión. No menos importante, este libro muestra cómo en Occidente muchos de sus homólogos negaron o...

The Cold War Comes to Main Street

Autor: Lisle A. Rose

Número de Páginas: 424

In 1950, Main Street American was abruptly traumatized. The sudden prospect of thermonuclear war with the Soviet Union, Senator McCarthy's vicious anticommunist crusade, and the beginning of the Korean War all combined to dampen the public mood. The Cold War invaded every home. Rose maintains that 1950 was a pivotal year for the nation. He argues that the convergence of Korea, McCarthy, and the bomb wounded the nation in ways from which we've never fully recovered. Brimming with originality, this book makes readers look at the Cold War from a dozen different angles.

Conversations with Stalin

Autor: Milovan Djilas

Número de Páginas: 176

A mesmerising, chilling close-up portrayal of Stalin from Milovan Djilas, a Communist insider - with an introduction from Anne Applebaum, author of Gulag and Iron CurtainThis extraordinarily vivid and unnerving book three meetings held with Stalin during and after the Second World War. Djilas brilliantly describes the dictator in his lair - cunning, cruel, enormously talented. Few books give as clear a sense of what made Stalin such a compelling figure and how he was able to hypnotise and terrify those around him. Djilas also describes the key members of Stalin's court: Beria, Malenkov, Zhukov, Molotov and Khruschchev. The result is a gripping account of the ruler at the height of his fame and power.
