Europe was forged out of the ashes of the Napoleonic wars by means of a collective fight against revolutionary terror. The Allied Council created a culture of in- and exclusion, of people that were persecuted and those who were protected, using secret police, black lists, border controls and fortifications, and financed by European capital holders.

With a bitterly divided nation plunged into the War of 1812, a fiery young Federalist editor named Alexander Hanson risked his life to defend a newspaper that dared express unpopular views. His words provoked a violent standoff that crippled the city of Baltimore and left Hanson beaten within an inch of his life. This little-known episode in American history - complete with a midnight jailbreak, bloodthirsty mobs and unspeakable acts of torture - helped shape the course of war, the Federalist Party and the nation's very notion of the freedom of the press. Josh Cutler's history of the Mobtown Massacre offers a lesson in liberty that reverberates today.

The story of how Germans came to embrace the Third Reich.Germany in early 1933 was a country ravaged by years of economic depression and increasingly polarized between the extremes of left and right. Over the spring of that year, Germany was transformed from a republic, albeit a seriously faltering one, into a one-party dictatorship. In Hitler's First Hundred Days, award-winning historian PeterFritzsche examines the pivotal moments during this fateful period in which the Nazis apparently won over the majority of Germans to join them in their project to construct the Third Reich. Fritzsche scrutinizes the events of theperiod - the elections and mass arrests, the bonfires and gunfire, the patriotic rallies and anti-Jewish boycotts - to understand both the terrifying power that the National Socialists came to exert over ordinary Germans and the powerful appeal of the new era that they promised.

Category : Cato Street Conspiracy, 1820
ISBN :
"A high profile treason trial in a highly nervous London sponsored by a highly nervous government who considered revolution to be a real possibility. Arthur Thistlewood (1770-1820), later to be a Cato Street conspirator, had developed revolutionary sympathies by reading Paine's works and by visits to America and Paris. He joined the revolutionary Spencean Society in London (the Society aim at revolutionising all social institutions in the interest of the poorer classes) and, together with the father and son James Watson, organised a revolutionary meeting at Spa Fields. He and his co-conspirators were arrested and tried but extraordinarily all were acquitted. He was eventually hanged in 1820 after the Cato Street debacle"--description.
