How Maoism Destroyed Communism
"Maoism essentially destroyed Communism. Yet many people still think that Maoism and Marxism are more or less the same concept, "Communism" - or the failure of Communism. The texts and analyses presented here show that the totalitarianism came from Mao alone, along with the disrespect for rights"--
How Socialist East Germany's Elite Turned Capitalist
When East and West Germany re-united, the world was amazed — but this great moment should have been foreseen. East Germany, the GDR, was not transformed by a counterrevolution from the outside; the leadership was always capitalist at heart. The author shows how they were undermining the socialist foundations even in the 1950s, as soon as Stalin died. Gerhard Schnehen leads us through the historic events that led to the formation of the German Democratic Republic, GDR. He documents what others have left out of the story, explaining the underlying causes why the supposedly 'Communist' part of Germany collapsed in 1989, to be completely integrated into the capitalist Federal Republic of Germa...
Khrushchev’s Putsch
Stalin is commonly considered the quintessential "vicious dictator," an iconic figure of tyranny. But almost none of his many biographers has drawn on primary sources, eye witness accounts, Stalin’s own writings and speeches, or what those people who met him had to say about him. This assiduously researched book is an attempt to get a little closer to the truth. It is based on first-hand observations from every stage of his life, and it evaluates numerous shocking tropes that were circulated by Stalin's rivals and made into our received view of his rule.

The Era of Perestroika
The predominant historiography in Western capitalist societies always hails those who set to work to sabotage, undermine or dismantle "totalitarian" socialism. In line with this narrative of the ruling financial elites (political correctness), supported by most Western authors and historians, the so-called reformer Gorbachev has to be seen and judged as a "democrat", a genuine progressive, who had good intentions and did a lot of good for his country and his people, who introduced "democracy" and a "state of law" in Russia in the era of perestroika, even though here and there he may have committed one or two mistakes or minor errors for which he may be forgiven. Western heroes and the "Communist" Mikhail Gorbachev are no exception to the rule, are always positive heroes and depicted as great "democrats" and their opponents are classed cruel and heartless "Stalinists", anti-democrats and sometimes even as mass murderers. But this narrative is ideologically biased, is nothing but propaganda and has little to do with reality which is shown by the books and the many documents included.
Jesusforschung in vier Jahrhunderten
In seiner „Geschichte der Leben-Jesu-Forschung“ bezeichnet Albert Schweitzer die Erforschung des Lebens Jesu als „die größte Tat der deutschen Theologie“. 100 Jahre später trifft dieses Urteil noch immer zu, auch wenn die wissenschaftliche Rückfrage nach dem historischen Jesus längst international geworden ist. Um in dieser weit gespannten Forschungslandschaft Orientierung zu ermöglichen, bietet das Studienbuch eine Auswahl von relevanten Beiträgen in deutscher und englischer Sprache. Geboten werden Texte von den Anfängen der historischen Kritik im 18. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart. Damit gewinnt der Leser/die Leserin die Möglichkeit, die Entwicklungen der Jesusforschung nachzuvollziehen sowie sich mit deren Fragestellungen, Methoden und Ergebnissen eigenständig auseinanderzusetzen. In der Einleitung stellt der Herausgeber die einzelnen Beiträge in den jeweiligen Forschungszusammenhang und zeichnet ein eindrückliches Bild der verschiedenen Stadien der Jesusforschung. Darüber hinaus werden didaktisch motivierende Fragestellungen für die Lektüre und Weiterarbeit gegeben.
