Publisher's summary
Desde una perspectiva centrada en los ciudadanos de a pie, a los que se les pone rostro y voz, Retaguardia roja indaga en las lógicas subyacentes a la violencia que se desplegó de forma brutal contra los adversarios políticos en la zona republicana durante la guerra civil española (1936-1939). En contraposición con las modas y los estudios mayoritarios al uso, que han tendido a priorizar la historia de las ciudades y la población urbana pese al perfil abrumadoramente agrario que presentaba la sociedad de entonces, la mirada se ha focalizado aquí en el mundo rural, escenario privilegiado para calibrar el significado y el alcance político de los conflictos y contradicciones que recorrieron la España de los años treinta. En medio de un contexto europeo caracterizado por el radical retroceso de los valores democráticos, el golpe del 18 de julio de 1936 y la guerra y la revolución consiguientes fueron las circunstancias que enmarcaron aquellas matanzas, una suerte de política de limpieza selectiva que respondió al objetivo inicial de controlar el territorio en disputa y neutralizar a los sublevados. Pero esa violencia, además de verse directamente mediatizada por la marcha del conflicto y las represalias inherentes al mismo, también respondió a los mitos movilizadores y a las tensiones de la política internacional del momento, a presupuestos ideológicos que apostaron por la deshumanización del adversario y a las experiencias traumáticas hijas del combate político contraídas en los años previos.

Story
World War II is the defining conflict of the 20th century, one that created a line in the sands of history dividing the pre-war and post-war eras. In this epoch-defining conflict lies another definitive moment: the invasion of a 50-mile stretch of coast in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. This battle, also known as D-Day, was the pivot point of the war in Europe. Its success led to a nearly yearlong, bloody campaign that saw the liberation of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands, followed by the final defeat of Hitler’s Third Reich.

Story
Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Story
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
Millions of words have poured forth about man's trip to the moon, but until now few people have had a sense of the most engrossing side of the adventure: namely, what went on in the minds of the astronauts themselves - in space, on the moon, and even during certain odysseys on earth. It is this, the inner life of the astronauts, that Tom Wolfe describes with his almost uncanny empathetic powers that made The Right Stuff a classic.

Story
The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

Stories of "The American West" often rely on tired tropes of tough cowboys, but real history is much less straight and narrow and way more interesting. Join host Niecy Nash-Betts for a wild round-up of LGBTQ+ lives that got buried in the dust of popular culture and history, and a look at how queer people continue to shape the West today–from gay rodeo to two-spirit identity to trans truckers.
