En 1873, mientras crecía la tensión entre Chile y sus países vecinos, el gobierno de la época formó una red de colaboradores que recopiló información para el Estado ante la inminencia de la guerra contra Perú y Bolivia. Había chilenos y extranjeros, militares y civiles, hombres de letras, ingenieros, mujeres. Se les llamó prácticos, gente de confianza, personas dignas de fe, comisionados. Se estima que hubo entre setenta a cien agentes y, en los años que siguieron, una cifra similar en Centroameìrica, Estados Unidos y Europa.

La historia del Wallmapu contada a través de Pedro Borquez, un chileno que rompe sus prejuicios y se va a vivir con los mapuche. Novela histórica ambientada en el siglo XIX (1835-1859) en Chile; la historia se enmarca en una época en que la naciente república de Chile y la nación mapuche mantenían una relación entre estados, a veces no exenta de roces, pero que en general se caracterizó por una sana y pacífica convivencia, con territorios y atribuciones claramente delimitados, en que fluían en forma normal las actividades comerciales y las relaciones políticas y militares.

Publisher's summary
Crónica histórica que revela la influencia del inglés John Thomas North en la revolución de 1891 que acabó con el gobierno del José Manuel Balmaceda.
El tema es la Guerra Civil de 1891. El eje conductor será la demostración, respaldada por archivos históricos, que José Manuel Balmaceda estuvo a punto de cambiar el destino de la revolución conservadora a los tres meses de iniciada la rebelión del Congreso apoyado por la Marina. Se demostrará la desazón de los revolucionarios por la falta de medios luego de los combates registrados en Tarapacá contra las fuerzas constitucionales. Pero esto, que podría haber cambiado el curso de la historia política de Chile, se vio frustrado por la tremenda injerencia del Rey de Salitre, John Thomas North y por otros británicos, que en ese momento en que todo se estaba inclinando a favor de Balmaceda, entregaron las armas y equipos necesarios a los revolucionarios, además de sabotear el equipamiento, especialmente naval, de los balmacedistas. Se tocará el gran apoyo popular de que gozaba Balmaceda al iniciarse el conflicto interno, por todos los beneficios recibidos, pero como este fue anulado casi en forma patriarcal por los instigadores de la revolución.

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.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
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.

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.

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.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers.

Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

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.

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.
