Wernher von Braun was a rare and complex figure. He went on to become one of the most prominent figures not just in one country but in two. Although the first half of his life and his contributions to Nazi Germany remain extremely controversial, it can’t be denied that he was a pioneer. He oversaw the development of the first long-range guided ballistic missile, the V-2, which became a terrifying weapon in Nazi Germany’s arsenal. After the war, von Braun and many of his colleagues were brought to the United States as part of Operation Paperclip.

Kein Zweifel, Adolf Hitler war ein verbohrter Ideologe, dessen politisches Handeln von Rassismus und extremem Judenhass geprägt war. Zugleich aber konnte der faschistische Diktator durchaus anpassungsfähig sein und realpolitisch handeln. Tatsächlich handelte der Versager aus Österreich oft strategisch. Er kopierte das faschistische System seines Vorbildes Benito Mussolini in entscheidenden Punkten, bevor er es freilich zu einem totalitären Faschismus ausbaute und das Dritte Reich in den Holocaust und den Zweiten Weltkrieg führte.

Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969) a marqué son époque comme peu d’hommes. Général cinq étoiles, homme du Jour J, chef de guerre, président des États-Unis, il a été l’un des acteurs majeurs de l’histoire américaine mais aussi internationale, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale au début des années 1960. En 1945, à la tête d’une coalition sans précédent, il a réussi cinq débarquements – en Afrique du Nord, en Sicile, en Italie, en Normandie et en Provence – qui lui ont permis de libérer la France et l’Europe occidentale et d’obtenir la reddition de l’Allemagne nazie.

This is how wars are fought now by children, hopped up on drugs, and wielding AK-47s. In the more than fifty violent conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child soldiers. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them. How does one become a killer? How does one stop? Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But it is rare to find a first-person account from someone who endured this hell and survived.

President Bill Clinton's My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided in early life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It is the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, and a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals.

The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dan­gers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.

The training to become a fighter pilot is among the most competitive and difficult in the world with less than one-in-a-thousand succeeding. Pushing a cutting-edge jet to its limits at over 1,000 mph means that every split-second decision can have catastrophic consequences.
