Extrait : Kurt Waldheim (né le 21 décembre 1918 à Sankt Andrä-Wördern, Autriche, et mort le 14 juin 2007 à Vienne, Autriche, des suites d'un infarctus), est un diplomate et homme politique autrichien. Il fut secrétaire général des Nations unies de 1972 à 1981 et président fédéral de la République d'Autriche de 1986 à 1992. La révélation, en 1986, de ses états de service dans la Wehrmacht durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale lui valut d'être mis en quarantaine par les autres chefs d'état. D'abord rétif aux critiques, il finit par reconnaître avoir appartenu à une unité responsable d'atrocités en Yougoslavie, mais refusa de démissionner comme le demandait le parti socialiste. Il affirma avoir fait son devoir comme la majorité de ses compatriotes autrichiens. Un comité d'historiens militaires établit qu'il ne participa à aucun crime nazi, tout en rejetant ses affirmations qu'il ignorait que des crimes avaient été commis contre les résistants. Kurt Waldheim est né au village de Sankt Andrä-Wörden près de Vienne, le 21 décembre 1918 . Son père, un inspecteur d'école de confession catholique et d'origine tchèque du nom de Watzlawick (en tchèque Václavík), avait fait changer son nom cette année-là alors que la monarchie des Habsbourg s'effondrait. Le jeune Kurt fait son service militaire dans l'armée autrichienne en 1936-1937. Il fréquente l'Académie consulaire de Vienne qui forme les diplomates autrichiens et obtient son diplôme de droit en 1939. Alors que ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: George Galloway (born 16 August 1954) is a British politician, author and broadcaster who was a Member of Parliament from 1987 to 2010. He is known for his anti-war views. He was formerly a Labour MP, first for Glasgow Hillhead, and later for Glasgow Kelvin, before his expulsion from the party in October 2003, and subsequently becoming a founding member of the Respect Party. Galloway represented Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 parliament. In the 2010 election, Galloway unsuccessfully contested the parliamentary seat of Poplar and Limehouse. Galloway is also known for his vigorous campaigns in favour of the Palestinians in the Arab-Israeli conflict. He attempted to both overturn economic sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s and early 2000s, and to avert the 2003 invasion. He is also known for a speech he gave before the President of Iraq Saddam Hussein, in which he appeared to praise the dictator, although Galloway has maintained that he actively opposed the regime until the United States-led Gulf War in 1991 and has always stated that he was addressing the Iraqi people. Galloway is known in the USA for his testimony in the Senate in 2005, where he turned a defence of allegations against him into an attack against American foreign policy. Galloway was born in Dundee, Scotland, to a Scottish trade unionist father and Irish republican mother. He grew up in Charleston and attended Charleston Primary and then Harris Academy, a non-denominational school. From 1979 to 1999, he was married to Elaine Fyffe, with whom he has a daughter...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18247133 ... Read more

Excerpt: Sharpeville massacreSoweto uprising · Treason TrialRivonia TrialChurch Street bombing · CODESASt James Church massacreCape Town peace march Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (Xhosa pronunciation: ;), born 18 July 1918, served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, and was the first South African president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election. Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). The South African courts convicted him on charges of sabotage, as well as other alleged crimes committed while he led the movement against apartheid. In accordance with his sentence, Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island. Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela supported reconciliation and negotiation, and helped lead the transition towards multi-racial democracy in South Africa. Since the end of apartheid, many have frequently praised Mandela, including former opponents. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honourary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan. The title has come to be synonymous with Nelson Mandela. Mandela has received more than 250 awards over four decades, most notably the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize. In November 2009, the United Nations General Assembly announced that Mandela's birthday, 18 July, is to be known as 'Mandela Day' to mark his contribution to world freedom.
