Seit jeher waren Staaten daran interessiert, Kenntnis über das militärische Potenzial ihrer Nachbarn zu erlangen. Aber erst im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts schufen sie im Geheimen arbeitende Organisationen, die diese Informationen laufend gewannen, analysierten und für die Entscheidungsträger bereitstellten. Dieses Buch untersucht die Gründungsgeschichte von militärischen Nachrichtendiensten in den Jahren zwischen 1871 und 1914 - erstmals in vergleichender Perspektive für die drei Heere im Deutschen Reich, in Frankreich und in Großbritannien. Es analysiert die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die Rolle des nachrichtendienstlichen Raumes, die Herausforderung der Streitkräfte durch Wissenschaft und Technik und ihren Umgang mit den wahrgenommenen Bedrohungen der inneren und äußeren Sicherheit. Der Autor zeichnet die Entstehung des modernen Führungsgrundgebietes "Militärisches Nachrichtenwesen" auf. Die Präsentation ausgewählter Operationen zeigt, dass es dabei schon immer um mehr als nur Spionage ging, sondern um staatliches Wissensmanagement an den Schnittstellen von Militär, Polizei und Diplomatie.

A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEARWhen everyday life becomes a state of emergency, how can yesterday's words suffice?'We were so happy and didn't know it...'A thirty-three-year-old writer lives in a quiet European suburb with his wife and his dog. His parents have bought an apartment nearby. On weekends they go out for brunch, cook and see friends. Life is good; it is normal. Then the invaders come.The Language of War is about what happens when your world changes overnight. When you wake up to the sound of helicopters and the smell of gunpowder. When your home is hit by shells or broken into by gunmen, and you spend another night in a basement-turned-bomb shelter. When, even though you've never held a weapon before, you realise the only choice is to fight back. It is about things one can never forget, or forgive.Bringing together Oleksandr Mykhed's vivid day-by-day chronicles of the invasion of Ukraine with a chorus of other voices - his family, friends in exile, those who have fought and have witnessed unimaginable atrocities - this book is both a record, and a reckoning. Haunting and timeless, it asks how it is possible to find the words to describe a new reality; how you can still make sense of the world when the only language you can speak is the language of war.

The American Civil War of 1861-65 is Greek tragedy writ large. Beginning in 1619, when the first colonists land in Virginia, Prelude to War painstakingly shows how slavery was built into the fabric of American society. Author Robert Drane traces the events that make the Civil War inevitable, beginning with the U.S. Constitution's declaration, ratified in 1788, that Africans are three-fifths of a free individual, officially sanctioning slavery. The 1819 Tallmadge Amendment signals the North's intent to block the expansion of slavery - a threat to southern wealth based on new plantations, sales of cotton, and the "auction value" of "bred slaves." With "Manifest Destiny," the Mexican-American War in 1856, and the expansion west, the South and North grow further apart with the South's contention that slavery should expand into the new territory. In 1860, with the election of Abraham Lincoln, the south will secede, paving the way for the beginning Civil War at Fort Sumter, South Carolina.With primary source material, first-hand accounts, archival maps and photographs, Robert Drane creates a rich tapestry embracing the sounds of Negro Spirituals, the cries of those enslaved, the efforts of Black clergy and activists to secure freedom and respect; the small band of white abolitionists whose missions were born of the Second Religious Awakening; and the voices of Northern politicians who passed the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery.

There is no book in English about the wartime Berlin 'salon' run by Kitty Schmidt under the secret control of Reinhard Heydrich, one of the architects of the Final SolutionSalon Kitty was the most notorious brothel in the decadent Berlin of the Weimar Republic - the city of Cabaret. But after the Nazis took power, it became something more dangerous: a spying centre with every room wired for sound, staffed by women agents specially selected by the SS to coax secrets from their VIP clients. Masterminded by Reinhard Heydrich, the spymaster whom Hitler himself called 'the man with the iron heart', the exclusive establishment turned listening post was patronised by the Nazi leaders themselves, not knowing that hidden ears were listening. One of the last untold stories of the Second World War, Salon Kitty's sensational true history is now revealed by historians Nigel Jones, Urs Brunner and Dr Julia Schrammel. After years of painstaking research and investigation, the story they tell sheds new light on Nazi methods of control and coercion, and the way that they used and abused sex for their own perverse purposes.

The contributions in this volume offer a political, legal and historical analysis of transitional justice legislation, emerging memory laws, and the societal perception of the past.
