  Hermann Röchling: The Factory of...

  Who now remembers Hermann Röchling (1872-1955), an emblematic figure of German industry during the two world wars. A Nazi from the very beginning, he was one of the main protagonists of this sinister movement, alongside Albert Speer and Adolf Hitler. He did not shy away from any measure to support the National Socialist effort, and his power was such that the Americans referred to him as the “czar” of a regime that functioned on the backs of millions of enslaved workers.
  A steel magnate and notorious anti-Semite, Hermann Röchling fell through the cracks of history. Margaret Manale is the first researcher to devote an exhaustive biography to him. She explains the reasons why such a character has remained almost unnoticed. She sheds light on the difficulty of judging him in the aftermath of the collapse of the Third Reich.
  To put his personality into perspective, Manale goes back to the origins of the family in 1870 and the French defeat by Germany. For 170 years, the Röchlings played a major role in these successive conflicts and in particular in the struggle for control of the mines in Alsace-Lorraine. Herman Röchling was prosecuted and sentenced at Nuremberg for war crimes in 1946 but, under American pressure, he was pardoned in 1951 in order to revive Germany quickly and build a strong Europe in the face of the Soviet threat.
  This shocking book is the implacable account of one man’s deception and the weight of realpolitik.

  Empath - Understanding The...

  We are all born with a certain degree of empathy. For some people, this quality is extremely intense and difficult to manage, leading them to be labelled “highly sensitive” or “empaths.” These individuals are often misdiagnosed with conditions such as anxiety or depression because their emotional sensitivities are so pronounced. However, new research is emerging that suggests highly sensitive empaths can actually thrive in life if they learn how to manage their sensitivities properly. 
  Highly sensitive people (HSP) are a unique breed. They make up only around 15-20 per cent of the population and are known for their heightened intuition, deep empathizing abilities, and propensity for introspection. This makes them incredibly insightful and caring individuals, but can also lead to a lot of stress and overwhelm.

  Death in the Highlands - The...

  In fall 1965, North Vietnam's high command smelled blood in the water. The South Vietnamese republic was on the verge of collapse, and Hanoi resolved to crush it once and for all. The communists set their sights on South Vietnam's strategically vital West-Central Highlands. Their first target was the American Special Forces camp at Plei Me, remote and isolated along the Cambodian border. 
   
   
    
  As darkness fell on 19 October, 1965, two North Vietnamese Army regiments crept into their final strike positions. The plan was as simple as it was audacious: one regiment would bring the frontier fortress under siege while the other would lie in wait to destroy the inevitable rescue force. Initially, all that stood athwart Hanoi's grand scheme was a handful of American Green Berets, a few hundred Montagnard allies—and burgeoning US airpower. 
   
   
    
  But as the overland relief force bogged down, 5th Group ordered in the legendary "Chargin" Charlie Beckwith and his elite Project Delta to help hold the line. Soon, the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, under its commander Maj. Gen. Harry Kinnard, would join the fray, setting the stage for its bloody Ia Drang Valley fights a few weeks later. Before it was over, the siege of Plei Me would push its defenders to the brink and usher in the first major clashes between the US and North Vietnamese armies.
