Libros de Biografías políticas, página 21 de 73

En este libro, a medio camino entre el ensayo histórico y el análisis biográfico,Fernando Molina Aparicio estudia la experiencia patriótica de Mario Onaindia(1948-2003) o, como denomina este historiador, su biografia patria. Una biografia que demuestra no solo la dimension intima y personal que tiene la nacion en todo individuo, sino tambien como esta puede formar parte de un aprendizaje complejo de la libertad. Un aprendizaje especialmente estimulante en una sociedad como la vasca, fracturada y herida por un fenomeno de violencia nacionalista que la ha afectado desde hace mas de cuatro decadas y que constituyo, en Mario y tantos otros miembros de su generacion, un trauma generacional con el que hubo de tratar a la hora de concebirse como parte de una nacion.

Calamai, invece, aiuta i rifugiati:mette a punto una strategia che consente loro di scappare in Italia. Ilperiodo cileno e un'esperienza fondamentale per il giovane diplomatico.

Las tramas, conspiraciones, amenazas y descalificaciones frustraron las ilusiones de Alejandro Alonso, que no eran otras que la lucha y defensa de la clase obrera frente a la patronal, el capitalismo y el fascismo. Desde sus inicios en las juventudes socialistas, ha vivido por y para la UGT y el PSOE, ocupando cargos a los que algunos se preocuparon muy mucho en colocar piedras en su camino hacia una posible brillante carrera politica. Su niñez, adolescencia, su inexplicable servicio militar, una historia de amor y un sorprendente final en el epilogo hacen de esta obra que el lector se pregunte si la vida de Alejandro Alonso no es la suya propia. El protagonista realiza casi al final de la obra un analisis politico de la situacion actual en España donde evalua los daños colaterales de esta crisis inventada por capitalistas y banqueros que seguramente no coincidira con algunos politicos, pero si con el lector y con la realidad vivida y compartida dia a dia por las capas sociales menos favorecidas.

Per primera vegada, el lector té a les seves mans, una obra completa sobre la figura de qui es considera el pare del socialisme català. Des del seu recorregut vital, amb els aspectos íntims i familia

Un jour, un amour violent a incendié ma vie. Il avait quatre enfants. J’en avais trois. Nous avons décidé de vivre ensemble. Mais la politique est une passion dévorante. Parti de très loin, François

As Nelson Mandela was released from prison and the ensuing years saw the collapse of South Africa''s apartheid regime, John Carlin (''one of the great post-apartheid chroniclers'' Financial Times) was the South Africa correspondent of London''s Independent newspaper. In his acclaimed Playing the Enemy (filmed by Clint Eastwood as Invictus) he told the story of Mandela''s role in the Rugby World Cup of 1995, when Mandela''s political genius transformed a sporting event into a moment that defined, unforgettably, a new nation.In his new book, Carlin now offers an illuminating and inspiring personal account of the iconic figure who has come both to define post-apartheid South Africa and to represent the possibility of a moral politics to the world at large.Knowing Mandela focuses on the years from 1990 to 1995, when Mandela faced his most daunting obstacles and achieved his greatest triumphs; it was the time when the full flower of his genius as a political leader was most vividly on display. Carlin spent those years reporting on Mandela''s feats, trials and tribulations and was one of the few foreign journalists in South Africa to cover both his release from prison and his accession to the presidency four years later.Drawing on conversations with Mandela and interviews with people close to him, Carlin has crafted a remarkable account of a man who is as flawed as he is gifted, neither superman nor saint. Knowing Mandela offers a profound understanding of the man and what has made him the towering moral and political figure of our age.

Hillary Rodham Clintons inside account of the crises, choices, and challenges she faced during her four years as Americas 67th Secretary of State, and how those experiences drive her view of the future.All of us face hard choices in our lives, Hillary Rodham Clinton writes at the start of this personal chronicle of years at the center of world events. Life is about making such choices. Our choices and how we handle them shape the people we become.In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the United States Senate. To her surprise, her former rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Obama, asked her to serve in his administration as Secretary of State. This memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed, and the hard choices that she and her colleagues confronted.Secretary Clinton and President Obama had to decide how to repair fractured alliances, wind down two wars, and address a global financial crisis. They faced a rising competitor in China, growing threats from Iran and North Korea, and revolutions across the Middle East. Along the way, they grappled with some of the toughest dilemmas of US foreign policy, especially the decision to send Americans into harms way, from Afghanistan to Libya to the hunt for Osama bin Laden.By the end of her tenure, Secretary Clinton had visited 112 countries, traveled nearly one million miles, and gained a truly global perspective on many of the major trends reshaping the landscape of the twenty-first century, from economic inequality to climate change to revolutions in energy, communications, and health. Drawing on conversations with numerous leaders and experts, Secretary Clinton offers her views on what it will take for the United States to compete and thrive in an interdependent world. She makes a passionate case for human rights and the full participation in society of women, youth, and LGBT people. An astute eyewitness to decades of social change, she distinguishes the trendlines from the headlines and describes the progress occurring throughout the world, day after day.Secretary Clintons descriptions of diplomatic conversations at the highest levels offer readers a master class in international relations, as does her analysis of how we can best use smart power to deliver security and prosperity in a rapidly changing worldone in which America remains the indispensable nation.

Ruslan Khasbulatov ha sido blanco de críticas tanto de la prensa radical como de la conservadora. Ha sido galardonado con la Medalla del Mérito al Trabajo y es autor de más de una veintena de libros (algunos de los cuales han sido publicados en Austria, Italia o India).La impotencia del Poder permite conocer aspectos de la politica contemporanea rusa de la mano de uno de los principales protagonistas de la Rusia que en muy corto espacio de tiempo transito de la dictadura comunista sovietica a la Rusia del liberalismo sin control de la mano de un regimen despotico, como es el de Vladimir Putin.Se incluye un epilogo sobre los sucesos producidos en 2014 en Ucrania que de momento se ha saldado con la reincorporacion de Crimea a Rusia y la revuelta de varias localidades del este ucraniano.

La figura de Jordi Pujol ha marcat una epoca de la historia recent de Catalunya. Com en les millors novel·les d'intriga, la biografia de Pujol ha fet un gir inesperat just a les darreres pagines. La seva accio politica i la seva trajectoria pot rellegir-se ara amb una nova mirada i s'ha de veure, encara, quin sera el veredicte de la historia. Esperant aquest judici, la mirada satirica de Kap, en aquestes vinyetes publicades durant vint anys a la premsa, deixen el seu testimoni mordaç i insubornable del que van ser els anys d'esplendor del Pujolisme. El seu humor irreverent i desacomplexat ha resultat mes fidel a la veritat que la cronica periodistica.Benvinguts a Pujolandia.

Héroes de la nación, apóstoles de la república pretende ser una aproximación analítica, en clave biográfica, al cruce de caminos que se produce, en los decenios que se sitúan a caballo de los siglos XIX y XX, entre un par de culturas politicas. La primera se trata de una tradicion emancipadora, la republicana, que habia enmarcado y fortalecido, que se habia alimentado y habia propiciado, el desarrollo de las re- sistencias populares y de destacados segmentos de las clases medias a los efectos deletereos de la construccion del Estado liberal y la progresiva consolidacion del capitalismo. La segunda, no necesariamente desligada en las experiencias concretas de la anterior, la que florece con la eclosion del moderno nacionalismo de masas, con la centralidad y la hegemonia cultural del catalanismo.Las vidas abordadas aqui son las de Valenti Almirall, Enric Prat de la Riba el unico de todos ellos inmune a las propensiones demo republicanas, pero pieza fundamental en la codificacion de ideas fuerza que impactan con potencia demoledora en la izquierda de raices liberales la aqui analizada, Antoni Rovira i Virgili, Pere Coromines, Lluis Companys, Josep Tarradellas y Heribert Barrera. El itinerario, el que lleva del federalismo particularista al nacionalismo republicano, del Partido Federal a Esquerra Republicana.Fueron profetas, heroes y apostoles de la republica y de la nacion en una combinacion, la catalana, no exenta de atributos singulares.

"After serving twenty-seven years of a lifetime sentence for conspiring to overthrow South Africa's apartheid government, Nelson Mandela emerged to become both the catalyst and the symbol of post-apartheid South Africa. He served as the country's first black president and has since been internationally acclaimed as a powerful and vigilant humanitarian. John Carlin began covering South African politics while serving as the London Independent's Bureau Chief in South Africa in 1989, and formed a relationship with Nelson Mandela in the decades since. Mandela has called Carlin's journalism 'courageous' and 'absolutely inspiring'. Now, Carlin reflects back on the man he has studied and admired for much of his career. The book will begin with Mandela's release from prison in 1990, and will end with the last time Carlin saw Mandela face-to-face in December 2009. Spanning decades, and chronicling both personal and national memories, Carlin's tribute to Mandela is a fitting retrospective on a life well lived and its enduring legacy."
