Walters Guy: Stealing Hitler's Rocket /
LF

Stealing Hitler's Rocket

The Incredible Mission to Smuggle a V-2 Rocket out of Nazi-Occupied Europe to Britain

Religion in the Modern World

Challenges the dominant narratives that frame peace as a civilizational ideal. At a time when millions demand an end to war, occupation, and systemic oppression, this volume gathers diverse voices in a transnational and decolonial conversation. The contributors interrogate how "peace" is too often deployed as a mirage-reproducing systems of exclusion and violence under the guise of stability, order, and reform. Exposing the coloniality embedded within hegemonic peace discourses, contributors reveal how imperial power configurations transform freedom into occupation, democracy into exclusion, and security into violence. Through critically self-reflective engagement with both religious and secular worldviews, contributors propose that peace is not an abstract ideal, but a deeply political construct shaped by empire, enforced through intervention, and justified by a faith in modernity's civilizing mission. Rejecting both reformist inclusion and idealized neutrality, these essays embody a political commitment to the tormented, the resisting, and the marginalized. From "post-conflict" pacification to imperial "peace deals," contributors unmask peacebuilding as often war by other means-while advancing liberative spiritualities that reimagine peace as justice from below. This book is not merely critique-it is a call to transformation.

Interrogating Religion and Peacebuilding

Fünf Illustratorinnen erzählen 5 Lebensgeschichten aus der Stadt Siegen und dem Umland, die sich zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus in Südwestfalen ereigneten. Sie tauchen tief in die Vergangenheit ein und schildern die Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen der fünf Protagonist:innen. Hier treffen historische Aufarbeitung und gegenwärtige Erinnerung auf eine Weise aufeinander, die das Interesse vor allem junger Leser:innen an deutscher Geschichte wecken und für die generationsübergreifende Verantwortung für diese Geschichte sensibilisieren soll.
In Form von grafischen Kurzgeschichten im Stil einer Graphic Novel werden folgende historisch dokumentierte Biografien erzählt:
- Zina, die als junges Mädchen aus Weißrussland mit ihrer Familie nach Siegen deportiert und dort als Zwangsarbeiterin Schwerstarbeit leisten musste.
- Otto Päulgen aus Niederschelderhütte, ein Opfer des sogenannten "Euthanasieprogramms" 
- Inge Frank, eine Jüdin aus Weidenau, die 1942 deportiert und anschließend ermordet wird
- Betty Hochmann, eine Jüdin, die gegen den Willen ihrer Eltern als Fünfzehnjährige ins damalige Palästina auswandert
- Die Siegener Synagoge und ihre Zerstörung
Fotos zum Making-of, der Recherche und des Storytelling Prozesses ergänzen die Geschichten und leiten beispielhaft an, auf eigene Erkundungen und Erstellungen von Graphic Novels im Sinne der lokalen Erinnerungsarbeit zu gehen. Besonders für Lehrer:innen und ihren Unterricht ist es ein anregendes Werk.
Historische Einordnungen helfen auch 'Geschichts-Neulingen' die Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge zu verstehen und eine Variante zur traditionellen Erinnerungsarbeit zu bieten.
Die dritte Generation nach dem NS-Regime ist wieder sehr interessiert, die eigene Geschichte aufzudecken, und dieses Buch ist die Unterstützung zu dem aktuellen Interesse.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Russia's Arctic policies since the 2022 war with Ukraine began. Covering geopolitical transformations, domestic evolutions and the role of climate change, it traces how, for around two decades, Russia has renewed its strategic interest in the Arctic region. It reflects on how, with more than half of the circumpolar territories, Russia's Arctic regions generate between 10 and 15% of Russia's GDP and a quarter of its exports, with the yet-to-be-explored reserves of the Arctic continental shelf also offering immense potential. Russia's Arctic analyses the growth of hydrocarbon deposits in the far north of Siberia and nearby offshore areas and how this has contributed to the rapid development of the Northern Sea Route. Marlene Laruelle and Jean Radvanyi examine the tremendous long-term importance of the region for Russia, regardless of internal political developments and the state of relations with the West. Long a place for science diplomacy and transborder dialogue, the region has once again become a hotspot for geostrategic tensions and a new interface between an expanded NATO and Russia. While the West is imposing increasingly broad sanctions specifically targeting Arctic hydrocarbon development projects, the Russian government is striving to circumvent or mitigate their effects with countermeasures by relying on their allies, most of whom are Asian. Laruelle and Radvanyi convincingly contend that Russian Arctic development policy must take into account the economic needs of the Russian budget and the geopolitical realities of decoupling from the West and pivoting towards the so-called 'Global South'. Additionally, it must consider the heavy legacies of the past in terms of population, infrastructure, and pollution, as well as future projections regarding the impact of climate change.

Climate Change, Domestic Policy, and Geopolitics

Russia’s Arctic

A fascinating, behind-the-scenes diary account of working on a major production of Beckett's iconic play from acclaimed actor Lucian Msamati. From his agent's phone call offering him the role of Estragon, Lucian Msamati brings brilliantly to life the experience of co-starring with Ben Whishaw in James Macdonald's celebrated production of Waiting for Godot in London's West End. With the likes of Jonathan Slinger as Pozzo and Tom Edden as Lucky, this production has some of today's finest theatre actors bringing new life and meaning to Beckett's 1949 play. Through rehearsal room highs and lows, workaday laughs and tears, literal stumbles and grumbles, we journey with Lucian, his fellow actors and creatives, and Beckett's play, sharing in the personal and dramaturgical discoveries they make and the inevitable emotional contours of an experience as intense as this one. As the final curtain comes down (and Lucian's trousers, too, as it happens) after the production's four-month run, we feel intimately connected with Beckett's elusive play and characters, slightly more able to navigate the play's surprising twists and turns, and with a renewed sense of appreciation for the work and graft of an actor and all that comes with it.

The Godot Diaries

Studien zu Geschichte und Politik

In den 1930er Jahren lebte die Bevölkerung von Imst von der Landwirtschaft, arbeitete in der Textilindustrie oder in Gewerbebetrieben, politisch wählte sie konservativ-rechte Parteien. In der Weltwirtschaftskrise verarmte die Gemeinde, Schulden, Arbeits- und Hoffnungslosigkeit stiegen. Im Herbst 1931 entstand in Imst eine Ortsgruppe der NSDAP, der bald honorige Bürger der Stadt beitraten, der Stadtarzt, der Apotheker und Kaufleute. Auf ihr Drängen ernannte der Imster Gemeinderat im März 1933 den deutschen Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler zum Ehrenbürger der Stadt. Es folgten (wieder einmal) gewalttätige Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Nationalsozialisten und der Heimatwehr, die Imst in den Ausnahmezustand versetzten. Auch nach dem Verbot aller NS-Organisationen und der Errichtung des Ständestaates kam Imst nicht zur Ruhe. Bis zum "Anschluss" agierte die NSDAP im Untergrund, fanatische Imster saßen monatelang in Anhaltelagern oder flohen ins Deutsche Reich. Die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung feierte begeistert den "Anschluss" im März 1938, während einige wenige unter der Gewalt und dem Fanatismus der Sieger litten. Ende April 1938 entlud sich der Hass in der brutalen Misshandlung von "Systemgegnern". Das NS-Regime errichtete ein System von Überwachung und Kontrolle aller Lebensbereiche. In den Kriegsjahren profitierte die Imster Wirtschaft von der Ausbeutung von Kriegsgefangenen und ZwangsarbeiterInnen. Nach der Befreiung zog sich der Wiederaufbau über Jahre, Kriegsverbrecherprozesse gegen Imster waren monatelang Stadtgespräch. Die NS-Zeit und die Verstrickungen mit dem Nationalsozialismus hinterließen keine sichtbaren Spuren, immer wieder aufflammende Diskussionen verdeutlichen jedoch den problematischen Umgang mit der Erinnerung daran.

THE MUST-READ BOOK ON THE WORLD'S BIGGEST FLASHPOINT 'Magnificent ... As exciting to read as it is important' Peter Frankopan 'Fascinating ... essential reading' Helen Thompson 'Alarming and uplifting' John Kampfner The Baltic will decide the course of the West in the coming years. These nine borderlands are not only the historical battleground of Russian aggression; they are also a factory of ideas for how to revive Europe. Shaped by the past one hundred years, each Baltic country offers lessons in adaptability, hope and prosperity in an era of instability. Innovation in Estonia, patience in Finland, resilience in Poland, even poetry in Latvia: with their tumultuous pasts and exposed geography, these poorly understood frontline states are reconfiguring the balance of power around the heart of Eurasia. From pioneering environmental initiatives and world-leading innovations in technology to ever-growing economies, from tackling disinformation to tempering the populist right, the Baltic states are now key to understanding how political events might unfold in the coming years. Blending history, politics and reportage, this is the first book to explain why these are some of our most imaginative allies, yet most of us know so little about them. Interviewing prime ministers, presidents, generals, intelligence officers, business leaders and ordinary people, Oliver Moody traces the extraordinary emergence of a new fulcrum of great-power rivalry. But the real reason we need to understand them is that their fate is ours.

A beautifully illustrated and comprehensive graphic history of Ukraine’s centuries-long struggle against Russian domination, from the Middle Ages to today’s devastating war, by an award-winning journalist and Ukrainian cultural historian The conflict between Russia and Ukraine began long before the 2014 war that led to the Russia’s invasion in 2022. The Ukrainian people have been subjected to systematic persecution and mass atrocities by Russian and Soviet authorities across centuries—from the linguicide of the Ukrainian language and censorship of literature in the 1860s to the Holomodor famine of the 1930s, and more.&nbsp; &nbsp; In A Brief History of a Long War, distinguished Ukrainian scholar, activist, and journalist Mariam Naiem presents a panoramic overview of the major moments in this longstanding conflict. Alongside gripping accounts of the historical foundation of the modern Ukrainian state as we know it today, Naiem seamlessly incorporates current narratives about the harrowing realities of war and the lengths citizens must go to survive.&nbsp; Featuring gorgeous illustrations by Ukrainian artists Yulia Vus and Ivan Kypibida, A Brief History of a Long War is an ode to the moments of resistance and resilience from the Ukrainian people in the face of Russia’s oppressive, colonial history.

Ukraine's Fight Against Russian Domination

A Brief History of a Long War

From an acclaimed architect and investigator, a devastating, meticulous account of the history of Israel's destruction of Gaza 'Urgent and essential' DAVID WENGROW 'Extraordinary' ILAN PAPPÉ Eyal Weizman is one of the world's leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organisation Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers document acts of state crimes and human rights violations around the world. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice's genocide case against Israel. In this revelatory new project, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey across time and into the 'deep cartography' of the area extending from Gaza's subterranean tunnels through to its militarised topography, its unique soil, settlements and barriers. He catalogues, in unflinching and forensic detail, the Israeli campaigns of violence and displacement that have reshaped the region in an effort to make Gaza and its surrounding areas unliveable. Taking us through the broader geographic and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between coloniser and colonised - and how Israel's actions after 7 October escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide. Deeply informative and profoundly affecting in its scope and precision, and illustrated with dozens of original images, maps and diagrams, Ungrounding is an essential document of atrocity in our time.

Covering Institutionalist, Post-Keynesian, Marxist, and Feminist perspectives, Heterodox Economics of Military Spending provides a comprehensive analysis of the effect of military expenditures on the economy.The impact of military spending on economic growth has always been a crucial issue for policymakers and academics. There exists an extensive body of literature on how military spending affects macroeconomic variables, including but not limited to economic growth, profit rates, income inequality, gender inequality, and employment. Different schools of economic thought have proposed various theoretical approaches to investigate the role of military production in a capitalist economy. While some of these approaches are competitive, others complement each other. Heterodox Economics of Military Spending is the first book to analyze the effects of military spending on various macroeconomic perspectives by considering all major alternative economic schools. This book also contributes to the literature by introducing new theoretical models and empirical evidence, with a special focus on its impact on economic growth.This book will be of great interest to readers in defense and peace economics, the history of economic thought, Marxist economic theory, feminist economics, and pluralist approaches to economics.
