Wendemanöver : Die geheimen Wege zur Wiedervereinigung. Das Ende der Kohl-Legende (3446402713)

Der Zusammenbruch der DDR und der Mauerfall kamen völlig überraschend, Kohl nutzte die Gunst der Stunde und leitete die deutsche Wiedervereinigung ein. Das ist die offizielle Lesart - bis heute. Dieses Buch macht mit dieser Kohl-Legende Schluss: Die Hauptakteure der Wende wurden keineswegs von den Geschehnissen 1989 überrascht. Vielmehr war sie das Resultat langjähriger konspirativer Verhandlungen und geheimdienstlich gesteuerter Aktionen zwischen West und Ost. Bereits Anfang der 80er-Jahre finden Geheimgespräche über eine größere Öffnung der Mauer statt. 1983 vermittelt Franz-Josef Strauß der wirtschaftlich angeschlagenen DDR einen Milliardenkredit und unterminiert damit diese Sondierungen. Doch das bringt nicht dauerhaft Hilfe: 1986 errechnet das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit in einer Studie den wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruch der DDR in spätestens vier Jahren. 1987 signalisiert Gorbatschow Kohl eine Lösung der deutschen Frage. 1988 wird Kohl der erste Vorschlag gemacht. Doch de...

Authority and Diplomacy from Dante to Shakespeare (9781409430209)



A detailed examination of the relationship between the discourses and practices of authority and diplomacy in the late medieval and early modern periods, Authority and Diplomacy from Dante to Shakespeare interrogates the persistent duality of the roles of author and ambassador. The volume approaches its subject from a literary-historical perspective, drawing upon late medieval and early modern ideas and discourses of diplomacy and authority, and examining how they are manifested within different forms of writing: drama, poetry, diplomatic correspondence, peace treaties, and household accounts. Contributors focus on major literary figures from different cultures, including Dante, Petrarch, and Tasso from Italy; and from England, Chaucer, Wyatt, Sidney, Spenser, and Shakespeare. In addition, the book moves between and across literary-historical periods, tracing the development of concepts and discourses of authority and diplomacy from the late medieval to the early modern period. Taken together, these essays forge a broader argument for the centrality of diplomacy and diplomatic concepts in the literature and culture of late medieval and early modern England, and for the importance of diplomacy in current studies of English literature before 1603.

Fundamental Chess Endings : A New One-volume Endgame Encyclopaedia for the 21st Century (9781901983531)

In a major event in chess publishing, two German endgame experts have produced a masterly one-volume encyclopaedia that covers all major endgames. This is the first truly modern one-volume endgame encyclopaedia. It makes full use of endgame tablebases and analytical engines that access these tablebases; where previous authors could only make educated guesses, Müller and Lamprecht have often been able to state the definitive truth, or get much closer to it.

This book provides comprehensive assistance for any players wishing to study the endgame. In addition to a feast of detailed analysis, the authors emphasize the practical side of endgame play, describing rules of thumb, principles, and thinking methods.
