Do scientists speak truth to power? During the Cold War, a group of American strategists and science advisors claimed to do precisely that. Styling themselves as figures of rationality and restraint, they insisted that mutual assured destruction was the natural logic of the atomic age: as long as nuclear deterrence was credible, no one would ever shoot first. This doctrine, known as "strategic stability," became the foundation of the arms control movement. But in this counterhistory, Benjamin Wilson shows that we have misunderstood them and their efforts.

"L'ora segnata dal destino: Ricordi di un "volontario" universitario" è il resoconto dell'esperienza della seconda guerra mondiale, vissuta da un giovane diciannovenne, nutrito di studi classici e di ideali umanitari e libertari. La narrazione di una guerra "improvvisata", vissuta all'interno delle caserme, senza il filtro della retorica ufficiale del regime, è la testimonianza dell'assurdità, per certi versi anche tragicomica, di ogni conflitto. Al dramma delle vicende storiche si intreccia l'odissea di Gaspare, il protagonista, novello Ulisse.

In this comprehensive history, Stanley Karnow demystifies the tragic ordeal of America's war in Vietnam.

Karnow elucidates the decision-making process in Washington and Asia and recounts the political and military events that occurred after the Americans arrived in Vietnam.

When Truman asked Stalin in 1945 whether Hitler was dead, Stalin replied bluntly, "No." As late as 1952, Eisenhower declared: "We have been unable to unearth one bit of tangible evidence of Hitler's death."
