Long before Hitler entered the stage, ariosopic thought already thrived in Germany en Europe. This boek provides a peak into one of the oldest sources on this theme: the early work of Rudolf von Sebottendorff, a mystical man who prophesied the downfall of the fatherland as a consequence of the stab-in-the-back myth. The grounds for anti-semitism, which became more fertile after the German defeat of November 1918, was formed by, a.o, Sebottendorff, as frontman of the Thule Society; a myterious and intellectual society that was determined to safe Germany from the 'Jewish communism'. They became the people who cleared a path for Hitler and the NSDAP. After 1933, Hitler banned the publications of Sebottendorff and the Thule Society disappeared into the background of history. Now, the old text of Sebottendorff's book Bevor Hitler kam (Before Hitler Came) is avaliable again and translated for the first time. The historic Perry Pierik wrote the introduction and annotated the text.

Because it was written right after the "Great War" [Woodrow Wilson and the World War] is a fantastic historical image of how contemporaries viewed the war, its causes, results, and how Woodrow Wilson managed and used it to further his ideological goal of Collective Security. It rea-lly is a great contemporary look of the situations surrounding the United States and World War I.

This is a book about the amazing journey of people discovering the Arctic island of Novaya Zemlya, looking for traces of a small historical event against the backdrop of the ending of the Soviet Union. At the start of the age of exploration, the North Pole was believed to be hiding a continent, a land mass warmed by the midnight sun still inspiring today's 'Lost World' fantasies. In the summer of 1596, two ships departed from Amsterdam to sail by its shores. The nine-month struggle for survival of the shipwrecked crew during the long polar night remains iconic in the history of the Arctic. Four hundred years later, Russians and Dutch together searched Novaya Zemlya for the grave and shipwreck of leader and explorer Willem Barents. This is a book about the Arctic and what it was like up there. This is a book about the 'nineties.' Over one decade we watched modern Russia take shape. This book has everything that makes the Arctic exciting, and the historical sensation on every page.
