  Six attempts were made by German officers to kill Hitler in autumn 1943 and summer 1944. Explosives in personal gifts, assassins armed with hand grenades and pistols, and even suicide bombers with pockets full of explosives hunted the Führer, who undoubtedly recognised the danger. The security arrangements around the leader of the Nazi regime were therefore enormous when, in July 1944, Officer Claus von Stauffenberg travelled to Hitler's Führerbunker in East Prussia to kill first Adolf Hitler and then the entire Third Reich. 
  Claus von Stauffenberg was not alone. He was just a pawn in a group of noble officers' plan to overthrow the Nazis and then make gentle peace with the British, Russians and Americans before Germany was destroyed by its enemies. How close was the group to succeeding? 
  World History invites you on a fascinating journey to bygone eras, allowing you to explore the greatest events in history. Take a trip back in time - to the frontlines of World War 2, to the Viking raids, and to the religious rituals of ancient Egypt. World History is for everyone who would like to know more about the exciting and dramatic events of the past.

  As seen on Tucker Carlson Tonight! 
   
   
   
  This is the story of how I tried to get the Hunter Biden laptop evidence to the authorities. 
   
   
   
  My life changed forever on April 12, 2019, when Hunter Biden stumbled into my shop requesting data recovery from one of his liquid-damaged laptops. After his father announced his candidacy for president of the United States, and Hunter failed to pay for and collect his computer, fear for my safety grew. There was paperwork in Hunter's possession giving me permission to examine and copy his data—someone was going to come looking for the laptop, and come looking for me. Concerned that I was sitting on evidence in a criminal investigation, I set out to hand everything over to the FBI. But, feeling betrayed by the FBI's inaction in providing the laptop as evidence during the impeachment trial, I then turned to Congress, and ultimately, to a lawyer for the president, Rudy Giuliani. When the story broke, Big Tech and social and mainstream media blocked the reporting. I was instantly labeled as a hacker and a criminal. My actions were labeled Russian disinformation, and it didn't take long before people started attacking my business and my character, forcing me to close my shop and flee the state.

  'Mithi Mukherjee makes a compelling case for Asianism to be recognized as a key element in India's anticolonial struggle.' 
  -Sugata Bose, author of Asia after Europe 
  'Mukherjee's riveting study highlights the philosophical and cultural ties that made Asia one in the eyes of many of its leaders' 
  -Anand Yang, author of Empire of Convicts 
   
  'Redefines the story of decolonization and recovers the overlooked figures who were instrumental to it.' 
  -Prasenjit Duara, Professor of East Asian Studies, Duke University 
   
  Offering a new global perspective on India's freedom struggle, Asianism and the Fall of Empire identifies the rise of Asianism in the early twentieth century as the origin and primary driving force of the resistance movements that brought down the British Empire.  
  Thoroughly researched and thought-provoking, the book ties together into a single sweeping narrative two contrasting, conflicting forms of anticolonialism: the nonviolent resistance movement under Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa and the militant movement that culminated in the war on British India by the Indian National Army under Bose in alliance with the Japanese army. Asia emerges in this breakthrough retelling not as an inert geographical category, but as a singular agent of change in modern world history. 
  As Asian powers become central to global politics once again in the twenty-first century, Mithi Mukherjee's timely and perceptive book traces India's historical relations with its neighbours and presents a strong case for transnational solidarities against ethnonationalist discourses.
