    Sieben Jahre nach Außer Dienst legte Helmut Schmidt ein neues eigenes Buch vor. Seine Ausgangsfrage lautet: Brauchen wir heute noch Vorbilder, und wenn ja, zu welchen Zielen sollen sie uns anleiten? Schmidt erzählt von Menschen, die ihn prägten und an deren Beispiel er sich orientierte.Politik ist pragmatisches Handeln zu sittlichen Zwecken, hat Helmut Schmidt einmal gesagt. Weil er stets pragmatisch handelte, hat man ihm früh das Etikett des "Machers" angeheftet. Dass seiner Politik aber immer ein strenges sittliches Koordinatensystem zugrunde lag, ahnten die wenigsten. Und die Bezugsgrößen in Schmidts ethischer Grundorientierung sind unverrückbar geblieben. Die frühe Lektüre von Mark Aurel und Cicero, die Beschäftigung mit Kant und Weber, die Vertiefung in die Philosophie Karl Poppers sind entscheidende Wegmarken in der Entwicklung eines Politikers, der den Wählern nie nach dem Mund redete. Ob Schmidt berichtet, wie sich ihm in Gesprächen mit dem ägyptischen Präsidenten Sadat die gemeinsamen Wurzeln von Judentum, Christentum und Islam erschlossen oder wie in den Begegnungen mit Deng Xiaoping das System des Konfuzianismus bestätigt wurde: Im Mittelpunkt steht stets die persönliche Faszination. Im einleitenden Kapitel "Frühe Prägungen" schreibt Schmidt über seine Schulzeit, über acht Jahre als Soldat - und über seine Frau Loki.

    Unwanted Visionaries: The Soviet Failure in Asia at the End of the Cold War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 990min
    Mikhail Gorbachev's relations with the West have captured the imagination of contemporaries and historians alike, but his vision of Soviet leadership in Asia has received far less attention. The failure of Gorbachev's Asian initiatives has had dramatic consequences, by the late 1980s, the Soviet Union was in full retreat from Asia, and since the Soviet collapse, Russia has been left on the sidelines of the "Pacific century." In this exceptionally wide-ranging and deeply researched audiobook, Sergey Radchenko offers an illuminating account of the end of the Cold War in the East, tracing the death of Soviet ambitions in Asia. Radchenko shows that Gorbachev began with big gestures, of which the most important was his initiative in Vladivostok in July 1986, the opening salvo of the Soviet charm offensive in Asia Pacific. The problem, Radchenko points out, was that no one in Asia bought into Gorbachev's vision. If the Soviets had realized earlier that they needed Asia more than Asia needed them, they might have played a much more important role there. Instead, China was largely misunderstood, early gains in India were squandered, Japan was ignored or condescended to, and the Korean scenario played out in ways most unfavorable to Russia. Radchenko captures all of this in his compelling narrative, shedding important new light on many key players, including Gorbachev, Deng Xiaoping, Margaret Thatcher, Boris Yeltsin, and George H. W. Bush, among others. Based on archival research in Russia, China, Mongolia, India, the United States, Britain, and numerous European countries and on interviews with former policy makers in a dozen countries, Unwanted Visionaries presents a deftly narrated and penetrating portrait of the Soviet failure in the East, with a wealth of valuable insight into Asia today. ungekürzt.

    Mao Zedong: A Captivating Guide to the Life of a Chairman of the Communist Party of China, the Cultural Revolution and the Political Theory of Maoism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 122min
    Explore the captivating life of Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong is recognized alongside Chiang Kai-Shek and Sun Yat-Sen as one of the most influential figures of modern Chinese history. His political control of the nation waned during his later years, but he remained the Chairman of the Community Party of China since it was established in 1949 to the day he died on September 9, 1976. As the founding father of the People’s Republic of China and the centerpiece of one of the world’s most intense personality cults, the extent of his influence is difficult to understate. Today, Mao’s legacy can inspire slavish devotion, outright condemnation, as well as, a hesitance to look too closely at the negative aspects of his legacy. The fact that his influence spanned over nearly three decades also makes it difficult to arrive at a holistic understanding of his impact on China. The official line from the Community Party of China, which was popularized by Deng Xiaoping, is that Mao was “70 percent correct and 30 percent wrong”. This biography details Mao’s remarkable journey from being the son of a peasant to one of modern history’s greatest - and highly polarizing - leaders. It aims to provide a better understanding of Mao as a person and to try to unpack the personality traits and personal experiences that shaped his worldview and actions. Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:  Early life Political awakenings Beijing May Fourth and the New Culture Movement The Communist Party of China’s growing pains The Northern expedition Communists at large The Long March The People’s Republic of China The Great Leap Forward The Cultural Revolution What Did Maoism stand for?

    The Noodle Maker of Kalimpong: The Untold Story of My Struggle for Tibet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 702min
    In December 2010 residents of Kalimpong, a town on the Indian border with Tibet, turned out en masse to welcome the Dalai Lama. It was only then they realized for the first time that the neighbor they knew as the noodle maker of Kalimpong was also the Dalai Lama's older brother. The Tibetan spiritual leader had come to visit the Gaden Tharpa Choling monastery and join his brother for lunch in the family compound. Gyalo Thondup has long lived out of the spotlight and hidden from view, but his whole life has been dedicated to the cause of his younger brother and Tibet. He served for decades as the Dalai Lama's special envoy, the trusted interlocutor between Tibet and foreign leaders from Chiang Kai-shek to Jawaharlal Nehru, Zhou Enlai to Deng Xiaoping. Traveling the globe and meeting behind closed doors, Thondup has been an important witness to some of the epochal events of the 20th century. No one has a better grasp of the ongoing great game as the divergent interests of China, India, Russia, and the United States continue to play themselves out over the Tibetan plateau. Only the Dalai Lama himself has played a more important role in the political history of modern, tragedy-ridden Tibet. Indeed, the Dalai Lama's dramatic escape from Lhasa to exile in India would not have been possible without his brother's behind-the-scenes help. Now, together with Anne F. Thurston, who cowrote the international best seller The Private Life of Chairman Mao, Gyalo Thondup is finally telling his story. The settings are exotic - the Tibetan province of Amdo, where the two brothers spent their early childhood; Tibet's legendary capital of Lhasa; Nanjing, where Thondup received a Chinese education; Taiwan, where he fled when he could not return to Tibet; Calcutta, Delhi, and the Himalayan hill towns of India, where he finally made his home.... ungekürzt.

    The Shining Path: The History of Peru’s Revolutionary Communist Party and the Ongoing Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min
    On the evening of May 17, 1980, a day before the Peruvian electorate - the most representative in the nation’s history - was due to go to the polls for the first authentic presidential election since 1963, a curious thing happened. In the tiny mountain town of Chuschi, little more than a hamlet nestled in a valley on the western slopes of the Andes, a group of armed youth broke the lock on the town hall and removed all of the ballot boxes, papers, and voting lists prepared for the following day. These were carried out into the town square and burned. The group identified itself as Sendero Luminoso, the “Shining Path”, declaring this action to be the commencement of the armed phase of the “People’s War".In the avalanche of press coverage for the election, the incident was scantly reported and generally overlooked. It was an exciting and energetic time in Peruvian politics, as the country sought to shake off nearly two decades of military rule and dictatorship, and a minor disturbance such as this in the rural countryside was of little interest. Nor, for that matter, was the theft of dynamite from a handful of local mines, although the handful of isolated bomb blasts that followed did stir a certain amount of curious reporting.Soon, however, the citizens of Lima began to notice the frequency of stray dogs found hanging from traffic lights and lamp posts. Images that have since become iconic in the chronicles of the Shining Path began appearing in local newspapers. They were described by Peruvian journalists and satirist Santiago Roncagliolo: “My earliest memory of Peru is a newspaper photograph from 1980 of dead dogs hanging from lamp posts in downtown Lima. Their stiff bodies were wrapped in posters that said: "Deng Xiaoping, son of a bitch". In the picture, bewildered policemen are cutting down the bodies in the early-morning light. Some of the dogs drip blood, others are painted black, but most are simply dead.Roncagliolo then went on to ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Platt.

    Tiananmen Square: The Site of China's Most Infamous Protests , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min
    Tiananmen Square, a large city square in the center of Beijing, can be said to represent the essence of Chinese culture, being the site of several important events in the country's history. It is characterized as being a vast open ground centered on and defined by a series of monuments constructed over a period of 500 years. Named after the Tiananmen gate, one that means the "Gate of Heavenly Peace", the square is located towards the north of the gate, separating it from the Forbidden City. Considered the fourth largest city square in the world, its dimensions are 440,000 square meters. Outside China, the square has come to be best known as the pivotal point of the protests of 1989 which were part of a pro-democracy movement which ended on June 4, 1989, with the declaration of martial law in Beijing by the government, and a casualty rate of thousands of civilians. The events that took place at this Square include the annual mass military displays on each anniversary of the 1949 proclamation, and the 1984 military parade for the 35th anniversary of the People's Republic of China which coincided with the ascendancy of Deng Xiaoping. It also staged military displays and parades on the 50th anniversary of the People's Republic in 1999 and on the 60th anniversary in 2009. In addition, many mark the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident in 2001 as the downfall of this grand monument. Nonetheless, a series of mass movements taking place here have become landmarks in modern Chinese history: the demonstration on May 4, 1919, in protest against the Treaty of Versailles handing over Chinese lands to Japan; the patriotic march on March 18, 1926; the demonstration on December 9, 1935, which started the resistance movement against the Japanese invasion; the anti-autocratic movement during the Civil War on May 20, 1947; the mass memorial to the former prime minister Zhou Enlai on April 5, 1976; and finally the 1989 student uprising. ungekürzt.
