    Nazis in the Holy Land 1933-1948
    Young Germans marched through Haifa shouting "Heil Hitler!" and Swastika flags were hoisted at the German consulates in Mandatory Palestine. It was in November 1931 when a non-Jewish German made the initial contact with Nazi officials in Germany that led to the establishment of a miniature Third Reich with local NS groups, Hitler Youth program, and associations for women, teachers, and others in Palestine. Approximately 33% of all Palestine-Germans (Palästina-Deutsche) participated in the NS movement. Until today no extensive research written in English has been done on this bizarre "footnote" in history. While previous publications in German mainly concentrated on the members of the Temple Society, this work includes Protestant and Catholic Germans as well. It focuses on the relationship of Palästina-Deutsche with local Arabs and Jews. It covers the period of 1933 to 1948 as well as the years between the establishing of the State of Israel and the departure of the last group of Germans in 1950. At the end of the book, the reader will find a list with more than seven hundred names of those who joined the NS groups.

    Strangers with Memories: The United States and Canada from Free Trade to Baghdad , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 676min
    In the early 1990s, North America was the vibrant center of an increasingly democratic and revitalized western hemisphere. The United States and Canada were close allies working together to implement a bilateral free trade agreement and build an integrated manufacturing and export economy. By the late 2000s, the economic and diplomatic ties between the two countries were strained as policies stagnated or slipped backward and passports were needed to cross the border for the first time in history. By 2017, the US planned to wall off its border with Mexico and NAFTA was slated for renegotiation.In Strangers with Memories, John Stewart combines an insider’s knowledge, a mole’s perspective, and a historian’s consciousness to explain how two countries that spent the 20th century building a world order together drifted so quickly apart in the early years of the 21st - and how that world order began its current shift. Assessing the major forces and events in North America’s development between 1990 and 2010, this book also details changes at the US embassy in Ottawa during those years and its relationship with US consulates in Canada and with the state department’s Canada desk. Explaining how Canada's influence in the world depends on the US and has radically diminished with the decline in US diplomacy under presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump, Stewart gives valuable advice on how Canada should handle its foreign policy in a much less stable world.The book is published by McGill-Queen’s University Press.

    Von Saloniki an den Nil
    Die beiden Bände Von Saloniki an den Nil beschreiben nicht nur eine luxuriöse Reisewelt mit Orient-Express, teuren Luxushotels, Dampfschiffen des Österreichischen Lloyd, Baedeker-Sternen und imponierenden Schrankkoffern. Unter dem Doppeladler gab es in der Levante k.u.k. Konsulate, k.k. Postämter und Auslands-Handelskammern, Nationalschulen und Nationalkrankenhäuser. In Konstantinopel, Saloniki, Smyrna, Beirut, Jerusalem, Alexandria und Kairo existierten bis 1918 große Österreicher-Kolonien - Österreich-Ungarn im Kleinen! Dem Textband wurde daher Band II mit einem Verzeichnis von rund 1.500 Personen mit Österreich-Bezug in der Levante angefügt. Die beiden Bände Von Saloniki an den Nil setzen die im selben Verlag erschienene Reihe Österreich in Istanbul, Bände I bis III, fort.The two volumes of Von Saloniki an den Nil do not merely describe a luxurious world of travel which includes the Orient Express, expensive luxury hotels, steamships of the Österreichischer Lloyd, Baedeker stars and imposing dresser trunks. Under the symbol of the double-eagle, in the Levant there were imperial and royal consulates, imperial and royal post offices, foreign chambers and chambers of commerce, as well as national schools and national hospitals. In Constantinople, Thessaloniki, Izmir, Beirut, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Cairo, until 1918 there were large Austrian colonies - Austria-Hungary in miniature! With an index of around 1,500 people who were in the Levant and had a connection to Austria, Volume II was therefore added to the present publication. The two volumes of Von Saloniki an den Nil continue the series of Österreich in Istanbul, Volumes I to III, released by the same publishing house.

    Pineapple Grenade: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 663min
    Miami has always set the weirdness bar, but Serge Storms is back in action and ready to pole vault over it. First, there's the media frenzy over the “Hollow Man”, a gutless corpse found on the beach. And yet people think it’s perfectly normal to find dead sharks in the middle of downtown boulevards - or to spot black mushroom clouds behind the airport. Then there are the roving bands of carjackers who suddenly find themselves inconvenienced. Not to mention people lurking outside sex-addiction meetings. Could this be the work of Serge, that eccentric trivialista and one-man vigilante? And why is he extensively photographing foreign consulates right before the critically important Summit of the Americas comes to town? Does it have something to do with Serge’s declaration to tell his ever-stoned sidekick, Coleman, that he’s decided to become a spy? Of course he’s not working for anyone yet, so Serge is content to just spy for himself until he shows up on radar and his talents are appreciated. His ace in the hole? Serge’s newly revamped Secret Master Plan! His spider senses tell him something big is about to go down in Miami, and it just might involve the recently reactivated CIA cell operating in the same historic building that plotted the overthrow of Fidel Castro. The intelligence community isn't amused, and they want answers: How did Serge and Coleman get so cozy with the president of a banana republic? Who is the femme fatale with a heart of gold - and national pride? Why is the congressman in favor of the latest oil spill? When did everyone in the city forget how to drive? And what about the Most Laid Man in Miami? Meanwhile, a mysterious international man of intrigue is shipping military arms around the clock, in competition with clandestine flights of souvenirs, causing the office of Homeland Security to take measures against people who aren’t scared enough. The crossfire of chaos continu ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Oliver Wyman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/harp/002737/bk_harp_002737_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
