The architects of one of history's greatest atrocities speak out about their lives, their careers in the Nazi Party and their views on the Holocaust. Their reflections are recorded in a set of interviews conducted by a U.S. Army psychiatrist. Dr. Leon Goldensohn was entrusted with monitoring the mental health of the two dozen German leaders charged with carrying out genocide, as well as that of many of the defense and prosecution witnesses. These recorded conversations have gone largely unexamined for more than fifty years. Now, Robert Gcllately~one of the premier historians of Nazi Germany~ has transcribed, edited, and annotated the interviews. and makes them available to the public for the first time in this volume. Here are interviews with the highest~ranking Nazi officials in the Nuremberg jails, including Hans Frank, Hermann Goering, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. Here too, are interviews with the lesser~known officials who were nonetheless essential to the workings of the Third Reich. Goldensohn was a particularly astute interviewer, his training as a psychiatrist leading him to probe the motives, the rationales and the skewing of morality that allowed these men to enact an unfathomable evil. Candid and often shockingly truthful, these interviews are deeply disturbing in their illumination of an ideology gone mad. Each interview is annotated with biographical information that places the man and his actions in their historical context. These interviews are a profoundly important addition to our understanding of the Nazi mind and mission.

In this groundbreaking new book, the American biologist Edward 0. Wilson, considered to be one of the world's greatest living scientists, argues for the fundamental unity of all knowledge and the need to search for consilience~the proof that everything in our world is organized in terms of a small number of fundamental natural laws that comprise the principles underlying every branch of learning. Professor Wilson, the pioneer of sociobiology and biodiversity, now once again breaks out of the conventions of current thinking. He shows how and why our explosive rise in intellectual mastery of the truths of our universe has its roots in the ancient Greek concept of an intrinsic orderliness that governs our cosmos and the human species~a vision that found its apogee in the Age of Enlightenment, then gradually was lost in the increasing fragmentation and specialization of knowledge in the last two centuries. Drawing on the physical sciences and biology, anthropology, psychology, religion, philosophy, and the arts, Professor Wilson shows why the goals of the original Enlightenment are surging back to life, why they are reappearing on the very frontiers of science and humanistic scholarship, and how they are beginning to sketch themselves as the blueprint of our world as it most profoundly, elegantly, and excitingly is.

At home equally in the emergent feudal kingdoms of northern Spain and the exotic principalities of the Moorish south, Rodrigo Diaz was an adventurous soldier of genius who, following his own fortunes, sold his skills to Christian and Muslim alike. Like all European aristocrat~soldiers of his time, he was always his own man, ever suspicious of established royal authority; throughout a remarkable career, he racked up an impressive series of military victories and amassed vast fortunes; by the end of his life (he died in 1099), he had become the independent ruler of Valencia, a principality he defended from repeated bloody attacks by Islamic fundamentalists who had invaded Spain from their Moroccan homeland~and he was the most famous man in Iberia. El Cid became the centerpiece of countless legends, of the great epic Poema de Mio Cid and of Corneille's splendid tragedy. Richard Fletcher's fascinating inquiry into the life and times of El Cid draws us into the real excitement of historical research, as the author separates fact from myth and involves us in the quest for the truth about this extraordinary hero. The Quest for El Cid is a journey of discovery into the turbulent dark history of an epoch when for the first time Christian and Muslim, European and Arab, met and clashed. Fletcher's account of a confrontation that helped to form modern Europe is a masterly accomplishment.

In a rich and riveting narrative, Jane Dunn reveals the extraordinary rivalry between the regal cousins. It is the story of two queens ruling on one island, each with a claim to the throne of England, each embodying dramatically opposing qualities of character, ideals of womanliness (and views of sexuality) and divinely ordained kingship. As regnant queens in an overwhelmingly masculine world, they were deplored for their femaleness, compared unfavorably with each other and courted by the same men. By placing their dynamic and ever~changing relationship at the center of the book, Dunn illuminates their differences. Elizabeth, inheriting a weak, divided country coveted by all the Catholic monarchs of Europe, is revolutionary in her insistence on ruling alone and inspired in her use of celibacy as a political tool~yet also possessed of a deeply feeling nature. Mary is not the romantic victim of history but a courageous adventurer with a reckless heart and a magnetic influence over men and women alike. Vengeful against her enemies and the more ruthless of the two queens, she is untroubled by plotting Elizabeth's murder. Elizabeth, however, is driven to anguish at finally having to sanction Mary's death for treason. Working almost exclusively from contemporary letters and writings, Dunn explores their symbiotic, though never face~to~face, relationship and the power struggle that raged between them. A story of sex, power and politics, of a rivalry unparalleled in the pages of English history, of two charismatic women~told in a masterful double biography.

It served as the single greatest display of Robert E. Lee's tactical genius and Stonewall Jackson's troop leadership. But while it was the high point of Civil War battlefield success for the South, Chancellorsville ultimately turned out to be a devastating blow to the future of the Confederacy. In Chancellorsville 1863, the first book on this great clash in three decades, Ernest B. Furgurson demonstrates why soldiers in America and abroad have studied the campaign as a classic for more than 125 years. Basing his work on extensive new research, including unpublished diaries and letters, Furgurson presents Chancellorsville not as a single episode but as a series of distinct and bloody clashes. He shows how Lee countered Union general Joseph Hooker's brilliant opening stroke with one risky move after another~no other Civil War general in either army would calculate or improvise maneuvers so daring. Furgurson examines why Hooker folded in a glaring display of moral weakness; he tells in detail how Jackson was struck down by friendly fire at his moment of triumph; and he describes the decisions and indecision in Washington and Richmond and army headquarters, and the bravery and terror of individual soldiers in the field. Combining an authoritative military analysis with wrenching eyewitness narratives, Chancellorsville 1863 makes clear why Lee's brightest victory predetermined his defeat at Gettysburg.

Stripped of the familiar myths surrounding him, James emerges a far more significant figure: ruthless, purposeful, intensely political; a man who, in the midst of his crimes and notoriety, made himself a spokesman for the renewal of the Confederate cause during the bitter decade that followed Appomattox. Traditionally, Jesse James has been portrayed as a Wild West bandit, a Robin Hood of sorts. But in this meticulously researched, vividly written account of his life, he emerges as far more complicated. Raised in a fiercely pro~slavery atmosphere in bitterly divided Missouri, he began at sixteen to fight alongside some of the most savage Confederate guerrillas. When the Civil War ended, his violent path led him into the brutal conflicts of Reconstruction. We follow James as he places himself squarely in the forefront of the former Confederates' bid to capture political power with his reckless daring, his visibility, his partisan pronouncements, and his alliance with a rising ex~Confederate editor, John Newman Edwards, who helped shape James's image for their common purpose. In uniting violence and the news media on behalf of a political cause, James was hardly the quaint figure of legend. Rather, as his life played out across the racial divide, the rise of the Klan, and the expansion of the railroads, he was a forerunner of what we have come to call a terrorist. T. J. Stiles has written a memorable book~a revelation of both the man and his time.

After the last shot was fired and the troops marched home, approximately three million soldiers remained unaccounted for. Some bodies were found, but they bore no trace of identification; many more men had been blown to smithereens or had simply vanished in battlefields where as many as a hundred shells had fallen on every square yard. An unassuming English chaplain first proposed a symbolic burial of one of those unknown soldiers in memory of all the missing dead. The idea was picked up by almost every country that had an army in the war, and each laid a body to rest amid an outpouring of national grief~in London's Westminster Abbey, Paris's Arc de Triomphe, Rome's Victor Emmanuelle Monument, and, for the United States, Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Reviewers have praised Neil Hanson's account of the plight of the sailors in The Confident Hope of a Miracle, a history of the Spanish Armada, his last book. In Unknown Soldiers, he once again offers an unflinching yet compassionate account of the reality of battle on the front lines. He focuses on three soldiers~an American, an Englishman, and a German~and narrates their war experiences through their diaries and letters. Hanson describes how each man endured the nearly unbearable conditions in the trenches and in the air and relates what is known about their deaths: all three died on the battlefields of the Somme, within gunshot sound of one another. He delves into their familial ties, the ideals they expressed in their letters, and he explains how the death of one, the American pilot George Seibold, was instrumental in the creation of the Gold Star Mothers, an organization caring for bereaved mothers, wives, and families that is still active today. Hanson animates and brings to life the combatants who perished without a trace, and shows how the Western world arrived at the now time~honored way of mourning and paying tribute to all those who die in war.

MI5. MI6. CIA. KGB. conspiracy theory. world war ii. cold war. ~ Harold Adrian Russell ('Kim') Philby was one of the most remarkable spies in the history of espionage. It took him only nine years to rise through the ranks of the British Secret Intelligence Service to become, in 1949, at the age of thirty~seven, liaison officer to the CIA and FBI, a position that put him at the nerve centre of the Western intelligence war against the Soviets. And it was widely accepted, at the time, that he was being groomed to become 'C,' head of the SIS. Yet Kim Philby ~ upper~class, Cambridge~educated, the quintessential Englishman ~ was also a KGB officer. Recruited when he was just twenty~two, Philby was given the lifelong assignment of penetrating the heart of the British intelligence establishment: an assignment he carried out with extraordinary success. Philby's defection to the Soviet Union in 1963 sent shock waves through the intelligence communities in London and Washington: it would take years before the extent of the damage he'd done to Western security could be fully assessed. When he died, in May 1988, one of his former SIS colleagues said he hoped Philby had ended his life in agony, like the men he had betrayed. A CIA officer said he would not believe Philby was really dead until he had driven a stake through the traitor's heart. But in Moscow, in a final acknowledgement of its most accomplished penetration agent, the KGB honoured Philby with a hero's funeral. During the twenty~five years he lived in the Soviet Union after his defection, Philby revealed little about his career as a spy. Then, in the month just before his death, he talked at great length to British journalist Phillip Knightley, telling his story in its entirety for the first time. He described his upbringing, his decision to join the Soviets, and the strategies he employed to assure that the entire post~war anti~communist effort would become known to the Kremlin. He explained the series of events and errors in judgement that led to the unravelling of his identity. He discussed all the emotional, physical, and moral complexities of his double life. Kim Philby's life story has all the suspense, intrigue, and excitement of the great novels of espionage. As told here, it gives us an unprecedentedly clear, compelling picture of the man and the master spy, before and after defection. And it reveals, as never before, the dark, astonishing world that Philby both inhabited and~by virtue of the nature of his life~helped to create.

Sereny's reconsideration of this brilliant, paradoxical figure sheds new light on the dark history of Nazi Germany, in which he played a role both crucial and enigmatic. Gitta Sereny first saw Albert Speer on trial at Nuremberg. Over the last years of his life she came to know him~through hundreds of hours of conversations~as no other biographer has known a Nazi leader. She interviewed as well the people around him~the celebrated, the notorious and the ordinary. Speer gave Sereny, for her use, a number of unpublished manuscripts, and after his death she obtained access to many of his papers. Out of her probings a huge, and hugely alive, portrait emerges. Sereny takes us through the emotional desert of Speer's childhood and marriage, through his embrace (basically, she demonstrates, for nonideological reasons) of the Nazi Party and his service as Minister of Armaments and Munitions, during which his brutal use of slave labor extended a lost war. She superbly portrays the circles in which Speer functioned: the ambivalent General Staff and the infinitely peculiar and nightmarish upper echelons of Nazism. We see Speer accused of war crimes at Nuremberg, and during his twenty years in Spandau prison, struggling to accept individual responsibility for his actions. Throughout, in person or in memory, Hitler is startlingly present, his friendship with Speer bordering on love. Sereny shows us Speer as inveterate schemer, as spectacular planner and maneuverer. We see him also as unique among Hitler's men in the integrity of his battle with conscience. His progress from moral blindness through moral self~education to a torturous coming~to terms with his own acts~this is the elemental matter at the heart of a book that stunningly illuminates the man, the war, the Third Reich, the Nazi mind and the complex comingling, in one person or society, of good and evil. "Gitta Sereny has written a fascinating book which not only throws new light on Speer's life and motivation, but examines his unique relationship with Hitler and the circle around the Ftihrer. This is a book not to be missed by anyone interested in Nazi Germany or, for that matter, simply in the complexity of human behavior." ~Alan Bullock. "A totally absorbing and tremendously important book, an essential contribution to the history of the Third Reich, and of the individuals who managed it. Albert Speer's books can now be read only along with this one." ~Telford Taylor.
