Book excerpt: Offers not only a close reading but also a film-historical contextualization of Phoenix, constituting the most significant and thorough study of Petzold's film to date. Christian Petzold's Phoenix (2014), a masterpiece from one of Germany's leading contemporary filmmakers, portrays a death-camp survivor's return to occupied Berlin just after the war has come to an end. Nelly, played by German film star Nina Hoss, returns badly wounded, her face covered in bandages, hoping that her German husband will still love her. Johnny fails to recognize her and instead offers her a role in an intricate criminal scheme. Petzold's film, which he scripted together with his frequent collaborator Harun Farocki, was an international success that has been widely compared with works by Alfred Hitchcock and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. This study explores the film's unique array of influences including the vast range of films, novels, and memoirs on which its screenwriters drew. Its central argument concerns the film's integration of a long history of German-Jewish works and ideas-its attempt to confront its audience with a neglected tradition that included figures as diverse as Peter Lorre, Fred Zinnemann, and Hannah Arendt. Offering a close reading of the film's themes, compositions, and music alongside a film-historical contextualization, this book constitutes the most significant and thorough study of Phoenix to date. Brad Prager is Professor of German and Film Studies at the University of Missouri.

Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Penn Cage series comes a heartstopping thriller about one of the great unsolved mysteries of World War II. The Spandau Diary—what was in it? Why did the secret intelligence agencies of every major power want it? Why was a brave and beautiful woman kidnapped and sexually tormented to get it? Why did a chain of deception and violent death lash out across the globe, from survivors of the Nazi past to warriors in the new conflict now about to explode? Why did the world’s entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss? “Entirely plausible, totally engrossing…a remarkable, impressive novel.”—Nelson DeMille “An incredible web of intrigue and suspense, an avalanche of action from first page to last.”—Clive Cussler

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: November 2016: could Adolf Hitler's son become the President of the United States of America? From the fall of Berlin in 1945 to this day, a Nazi plot could change our future. Why have seventy-year-old documents come to light from the archives of the Russian secret services? From the NKVD to the KGB to the current SVR, a common thread unites the investigations on Hitler's biological son. "Operation Phoenix is the Nazi attempt to seize power in the world's most powerful nation and take revenge on history." "The Russian's nightmare? Adolf Hitler's son with a briefcase containing nuclear launch codes." From the tragic figure of Eva Braun to the evil that is Kaltenbrunner, from the adventurous Skorzeny to Lansky the mafioso, from the ambiguous Hanna Reitsch to the brilliant Markus Wolf: a crowd of extraordinary historical figures.

Book excerpt: From acclaimed author Henning Boetius comes this "powerful tale" (Publishers Weekly) of a doomed airship and one man's attempt to resurrect his life from its ashes. It is 1947--ten years after the zeppelin Hindenburg burst into flames over Lakehurst, New Jersey, in one of the twentieth century's most spectacular catastrophes. An alleged representative of world peace and "infallible" German technology, the Hindenburg was a great floating palace almost three football fields long--but to many it was also a hated symbol of the Nazi regime. Suspecting sabotage, one scarred survivor refuses to believe that his life was shattered by a so-called accident. Still obsessed with the cause of the crash, Birger Lund will place himself at risk to uncover the plot behind the explosion--in the hope that the truth will make him whole again...
