Story
Eindringlich erzählt Biermann vom Vater, der als Jude in Auschwitz ermordet wurde, von der Mutter, die ihn aus dem Hamburger Bombeninferno rettete, vom väterlichen Freund Robert Havemann, mit dem er das Los des Geächteten teilte. Er führt uns in die absurde Welt der DDR-Diktatur. Und er erzählt die Geschichten seiner in den Westen geschmuggelten, im Osten heimlich kursierenden Lieder, deren "Verskunst, robuste Rhetorik und gewaltige Sprachkraft" Marcel Reich-Ranicki lobte.

Story
Kateryna ha 28 anni, ha fatto la modella, ha amici sparsi per l'Europa e all'inizio del 2022 spera che in Ucraina scoppi la guerra: «Non sono così vile da augurarmi di vivere sotto il ricatto di Vladimir Putin per anni, contando sul fatto che il compito di affrontarlo spetti poi a un'altra generazione invece che alla mia». Oggi Kateryna è un soldato. Assim ha 23 anni, studia Ingegneria aerospaziale all'università di Teheran e dal giorno in cui Mahsa Amini è morta, il 16 settembre 2022, con il suo gruppo ha cominciato a scrivere il nome di Mahsa nei bagni delle università e nei vagoni dei treni.

Eddie Ndopu was born in 1990 with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare degenerative motor-neuron disease, and told that he wouldn't live beyond age five. Now, thirty-one years old and stronger than ever, he continues to celebrate each turn around the sun as an existential defiance of the odds.

Story
Born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Samuel Ringgold Ward (1817-c. 1869) escaped enslavement and would become a leading figure in the struggle for Black freedom, citizenship, and equality. He was extolled by his contemporary Frederick Douglass for his "depth of thought, fluency of speech, readiness of wit, logical exactness." Until now, his story has been largely untold. In this book, R. J. M. Blackett brings light to Ward's life and his important role in the struggle against slavery and discrimination, and to the personal price he paid for confronting oppression.

An “enchanting, beautifully written book about heroes and the dark times to which they refused to surrender” (Todd Gitlin, bestselling author of The Sixties). In a series of character portraits, The Fifties invokes the accidental radicals—people motivated not by politics but by their own most intimate conflicts—who sparked movements for change in their time and our own. Among many others, we meet legal pathfinder Pauli Murray, who was tortured by both her mixed-race heritage and her “in between” sexuality.

Story
In October 1859, abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry. His goal was to secure weapons and start a slave rebellion. The raid was a failure, but it galvanized the nation and sparked the Civil War. Still one of the most controversial figures in American history, John Brown's actions raise interesting questions about unsanctioned violence that can be justified for a greater good.

In 1962, boxing writers and fans considered Cassius Clay an obnoxious self-promoter, and few believed that he would become the heavyweight champion of the world. But Malcolm X, the most famous minister in the Nation of Islam, saw the potential in Clay, not just for boxing greatness, but as a means of spreading the Nation’s message. The two became fast friends, keeping their interactions secret from the press for fear of jeopardizing Clay’s career.

James Carr started fighting when he was very young, and never gave up. A child prodigy of crime in the streets of the L.A. ghettos and scourge of half a dozen boys’ homes, his career in armed robbery was quickly cut short by arrest. In prison he fought harder than ever, and became one of the most notorious rebels in the seething California Penal System. Linking up with George Jackson in Folsom, they led the notorious Wolf Pack, which quickly fought its way to a position of strength in the prison race war.

In 1955, fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was lynched. That remains an undisputed fact of the case that ignited a flame within the Civil Rights Movement that has yet to be extinguished. Yet the rest of the details surrounding the event remain distorted by time and too many tellings. What does justice mean in the resolution of a cold case spanning nearly seven decades?

Women have been at the forefront of significant positive change for generations, and yet they still struggle to have their voices heard. There is no more obvious example of this than when learning about modern history, where little acknowledgment is given to women's incredible feats and sacrifices during major world events. However, there are hundreds of true stories of brave women activists, each one fighting for important causes such as ending slavery and other forms of oppression.
