When the bodies of two Black men were found sitting with a crackpipe in a parked car in a rundown section of town in 1994, it seemed just another day in Kansas City, Kansas. The swift arrest and conviction of a seventeen-year-old Black kid from a broken home raised no eyebrows either. And yet, thirty years later, Lamonte McIntyre would prove to be the David that took down the Goliath of corruption that had long controlled the city’s power structure and enveloped the city’s justice system.

En un mundo dominado por imperios, George Washington no solo ganó una guerra: inventó una forma nueva de ejercer el poder. Este libro recorre su vida desde la Virginia colonial hasta la presidencia, mostrando al hombre detrás del mito: el joven ambicioso que aprendió a medir la tierra y el riesgo, el comandante que sostuvo un ejército roto en los inviernos más duros y el líder que, tras la victoria, hizo lo impensable: renunció al mando para que naciera una república real.

لعل أصدق وصف لهذا الكتاب أنه يمثل بحق مرآة العصر، فقد تناول فيه «عبد العزيز البشري» بالنقد والتحليل عددًا من أبرز شخصيات عصره في مختلف المجالات؛ كالسياسة، والطب، والفن، والشعر، والاقتصاد. هؤلاء الذين ساهموا في صناعة تاريخ مصر في تلك الحقبة، والذين ما زالوا حتى الآن مادة أساسية للبحث والاستقصاء. ويعكس لنا المؤلف صورة ألمع شخصيات العصر بالنسبة للأدباء والمفكرين، ولا يخفى على القارئ اللبيب الاتجاه السياسي الذي يمثله المؤلف؛ الأمر الذي ظهر جليًّا فى كتابته، حيث أشاد بدور كل من «سعد باشا زغلول» و«مصطفى باشا النحاس».

Eindringlich und bewegend schildert Nila ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen als Aktivistin auf den Straßen Teherans und setzt diese in den Kontext einer langen Geschichte weiblicher Stärke in Iran.
