At the book's centre is the manhunt for Casement led by intelligence officer Reginald 'Blinker' Hall, the legendary British spy chief who pioneered codebreaking, early mass surveillance and media manipulation.\r\n          \r\nAs he did for the critically acclaimed Killing Thatcher, master storyteller Rory Carroll has combed diaries, letters, police reports, memoirs, court transcripts, secret service archives and declassified government files in the US, Britain, Ireland and Germany to create a page-turning history, and a story that still echoes through Anglo-Irish relations. A Rebel and a Traitor raises profound questions about honour, courage and the price of patriotism.\r","authors":["Rory Carroll"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/948\/9780008696948_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/948\/9780008696948_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/948\/9780008696948_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"21,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"26 mars 2026","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Rory Carroll \u2014 Harper Collins Publishers","translator":null,"weight":615,"page_count":null,"readership":null,"editor":"Harper Collins Publishers","price":2140,"published_date":"2026-03-25T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780008696948\/a-rebel-and-a-traitor-a-fugitive-the-manhunt-and-the-birth-of-the-ira"},{"id":"9781802063240","title":"Crimes Against Humanity : The Struggle For Global Justice","description":"The definitive book on human rights law, now updated with a new chapter on war crimes in Ukraine and the continuing war in Gaza  \r\nIn Crimes Against Humanity, Geoffrey Robertson KC explains why we must hold political and military leaders accountable for genocide, torture and mass murder.\r\nHe shows how human rights standards can be enforced against cruel governments, armies and multi-national corporations.

It is one of the most devastating  episodes in the history of the twentieth century. With unprecedented  authority and detail, Red Famine investigates how this happened,  who was responsible, and what the consequences were. It is the fullest  account yet published of these terrible events.\r\nThe book draws on  a mass of archival material and first-hand testimony only available  since the end of the Soviet Union, as well as the work of Ukrainian  scholars all over the world. It includes accounts of the famine by those  who survived it, describing what human beings can do when driven mad by  hunger. It shows how the Soviet state ruthlessly used propaganda to  turn neighbours against each other in order to expunge supposedly  'anti-revolutionary' elements. It also records the actions of  extraordinary individuals who did all they could to relieve the  suffering.\r\nThe famine was rapidly followed by an attack on  Ukraine's cultural and political leadership - and then by a denial that  it had ever happened at all. Census reports were falsified and memory  suppressed. Some western journalists shamelessly swallowed the Soviet  line; others bravely rejected it, and were undermined and harassed. The  Soviet authorities were determined not only that Ukraine should abandon  its national aspirations, but that the country's true history should be  buried along with its millions of victims. Red Famine, a triumph  of scholarship and human sympathy, is a milestone in the recovery of  those memories and that history. At a moment of crisis between Russia  and Ukraine, it also shows how far the present is shaped by the past.\r","authors":["Anne Applebaum"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/284\/9780141978284_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/284\/9780141978284_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/284\/9780141978284_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"24,30 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"5 juillet 2018","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Anne Applebaum \u2014 Penguin Books Uk","translator":null,"weight":392,"page_count":512,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Books Uk","price":2430,"published_date":"2018-07-04T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141978284\/red-famine-stalins-war-on-ukraine"},{"id":"9780141978741","title":"The Greek Revolution : 1821 and the Making of Modern Europe","description":"WINNER OF THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE 2021\r\nSHORTLISTED FOR THE RUNCIMAN AWARD 2022\r\nA NEW STATESMAN AND TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021\r\n'Deserves to remain the standard treatment of the subject in English for many decades to come' Roderick Beaton, Times Literary Supplement\r\nIn the exhausted, repressive years that followed Napoleon's defeat in 1815, there was one cause that came to galvanize countless individuals across Europe and the United States: freedom for Greece.\r\nMark Mazower's wonderful new book recreates one of the most compelling, unlikely and significant events in the story of modern Europe. In the face of near impossible odds, the people of the villages, valleys and islands of Greece rose up against Sultan Mahmud II and took on the might of the imperial Ottoman armed forces, its Turkish cavalrymen, Albanian foot soldiers and the fearsome Egyptians. Despite the most terrible disasters, they held on until military intervention by Russia, France and Britain finally secured the kingdom of Greece.\r\nMazower brilliantly brings together the different strands of the story. He takes us into the minds of revolutionary conspirators and the terrors of besieged towns, the stories of itinerant priests, sailors and slaves, ambiguous heroes and defenceless women and children struggling to stay alive amid a conflict of extraordinary brutality. Ranging across the Eastern Mediterranean and far beyond, he explores the central place of the struggle in the making of Romanticism and a new kind of politics that had volunteers flocking from across Europe to die in support of the Greeks. A story of how statesmen came to terms with an even more powerful force than themselves - the force of nationalism - this is above all a book about how people decided to see their world differently and, at an often terrible cost to themselves and their families, changed history.\r\n'Exquisite, impressive' The Times\r\n'Superbly subtle and thorough' Daily Telegraph\r","authors":["Mark Mazower"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/741\/9780141978741_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/741\/9780141978741_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/741\/9780141978741_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"24,30 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"26 janvier 2023","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Mark Mazower \u2014 Penguin Books Uk","translator":null,"weight":500,"page_count":624,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Books Uk","price":2430,"published_date":"2023-01-25T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141978741\/the-greek-revolution-1821-and-the-making-of-modern-europe"},{"id":"9780141980430","title":"To Hell and Back : Europe, 1914-1949","description":"'Superb ... likely to become a classic' Observer\r\nIn the summer of 1914 most of Europe plunged into a war so catastrophic that it unhinged the continent's politics and beliefs in a way that took generations to recover from.

When history is this gripping there's nothing like it' - Andrew O'Hagan\r\nRichard of Bordeaux and Henry Bolingbroke were first cousins, born just three months apart. Their lives were from the beginning entwined. When they were still children, Richard was crowned King Richard II with Henry at his side, carrying the sword of state: a ten-year-old lord in the service of his ten-year-old king.\r\nYet, as the animals on their heraldic badges showed, they grew up to be opposites: Richard was the white hart, a thin-skinned narcissist, and Henry the eagle, a chivalric hero, a leader who inspired loyalty where Richard inspired only fear. Henry had all the qualities Richard lacked, all the qualities a sovereign needed, bar one: birth right. Increasingly threatened by his charismatic cousin, Richard became consumed by the need for total power, in a time of constant conflict, rebellions and reprisals. When he banished Henry into exile, the stage was set for a final confrontation, as the hart became the tyrant and the eagle his usurper.\r\nHelen Castor tells this story of one of the strangest and most fateful relationships in English history. It is a story about power, and masculinity in crisis, and a nation brought to the brink of catastrophe.

Based on wide-ranging research and witness testimony, Plokhy traces the arc of each crisis, exploring in depth the confused decision-making on the ground and the panicked responses of governments to contain the crises and often cover up the scale of the catastrophe.\r\nAs the world increasingly looks to renewable and alternative sources of energy, Plokhy lucidly argues that the atomic risk must be understood in explicit terms, but also that these calamities reveal a fundamental truth about our relationship with nuclear technology: that the thirst for power and energy has always trumped safety and the cost for future generations.\r","authors":["Serhii Plokhy"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/179\/9780141997179_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/179\/9780141997179_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/179\/9780141997179_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"18,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"31 ao\u00fbt 2023","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Serhii Plokhy \u2014 Penguin Books Uk","translator":null,"weight":285,"page_count":384,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Books Uk","price":1880,"published_date":"2023-08-30T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780141997179\/atoms-and-ashes-from-bikini-atoll-to-fukushima"},{"id":"9780486411439","title":"Twelve Years a Slave","description":null,"authors":["Solomon Northup"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/439\/9780486411439_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/439\/9780486411439_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/439\/9780486411439_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"13,70 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"6 avril 2000","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Solomon Northup \u2014 Dorling Kindersley Usa","translator":null,"weight":435,"page_count":352,"readership":null,"editor":"Dorling Kindersley Usa","price":1370,"published_date":"2000-04-05T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780486411439\/twelve-years-a-slave"},{"id":"9780195389142","title":"American History : A Very Short Introduction","description":"This brief history of America will span the earliest migrations to the present, reflecting Paul S. Boyer's interests in social, intellectual, and cultural history, including popular culture and religion. It will reflect his personal view of American history, in which a sense of paradox and irony loom large. While noting positive achievements--political, economic, social, and cultural--he will also discuss the United States's failures to live up to its oft-stated ideals; although America has figured in the world's imagination (and its own self-image) as a \"land of opportunity\" offering \"liberty and justice for all,\" the reality has often fallen short.\r\nFor example, the establishment of the North American colonies had very different meanings for colonists from the British Isles and Europe, for Native peoples, and for enslaved Africans brought against their will. The late nineteenth century saw not only impressive industrial expansion and the creation of vast fortunes but also appalling conditions in urban-immigrant slums and a degraded, exploited labor force. The twentieth-century emergence of a suburban society of consumer abundance meant a better life for many and laid the groundwork for impressive cultural creativity, yet left behind crime-ridden inner cities and spawned a stultifying mass culture. The immigrants who have renewed and revitalized the nation have also stirred hostility and resentment. While American popular culture has demonstrated global appeal, the projection of U.S. military power abroad, from the Philippines early in the twentieth century to Iraq early in the twenty-first, has sometimes failed in its purpose and damaged the nation's international standing. Although this book will not be a muckraking expos\u00e9 or anachronistic moral tract, neither will it be a celebratory panegyric or a bland recital of facts. \r\nABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Britain in 1789 was overwhelmingly rural, agrarian, multilingual, and almost half Celtic. By 1914, when it faced its greatest test since the defeat of Napoleon, it was largely urban and English.

Beginning with its earliest coastal communities through to the spread of Buddhism, the rise of the warlords, the promise and menace of the West and Japan's own empire-building, Harding explores how a distinctly Japanese society and culture was forged.\r\nDrawing on the latest scholarship, A Short History of Japan moves beyond traditional tourist-board clich\u00e9s to consider Japan's own view of its past, values and culture, from ceramics and theatre to food and architecture. The result is a sensory, tactile history conveying to the reader much about Japan's special nature.

In tracing the evolving meaning of 'antisemitism,' [Mazower] demonstrates persuasively how we might turn it from a weapon back into a word... Rigorous and lucid' - Lily Meyer, The New Republic'\r\nFor most of history, antisemitism has been understood as a menace from Europe's political Right, the province of blood-and-soil ethno-nativists who built on Christendom's long-standing suspicion of its Jewish population and infused it with racist pseudo-science. Such threats culminated in the nightmare of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.\r\nThe landscape is very different now, as Mark Mazower argues in this piercingly brilliant book. More than four-fifths of the world's Jews now live in Israel and the United States, with the former's military dominance of its region guaranteed by the latter while the loudest voices decrying antisemitism see it coming from the Left not the Right.\r\nMazower clearly and carefully shows us how we got here, seeking to illuminate rather than blame. Very few words have the punch of 'antisemitism' and yet no term is more liable to be misunderstood in ways affecting free speech and foreign policy alike.

It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book.\r\nCapitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics.\r\nCapitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China.

Historian Camilla Townsend returns to the original tales, told at the fireside by generations of Indigenous Nahuatl speakers. Along the way, she deals with human sacrifice, the raising of great temples, and the troubling legacy of the Spanish conquest.\r\n\r\nFew cultures are generally understood to have been so controlled by their religion as the Aztecs, and few religions are envisioned as being as violent and celebratory of death as theirs. In this introduction to the Aztec myths, Townsend draws from sixteenth-century historical annals and songs written down by Nahuatl-speaking peoples, now known as the Aztecs, in their own language to counter this narrative, inherited from the conquering Spaniards. In doing so, she reveals a rich tapestry of mythic tradition that defies modern expectations.\r\n\r\nTownsend retells stories ranging from the creation of the world, revealing the Aztec cosmological vision of nature and the divine, to legends of the Aztecs' own past that show how they understood the foundation of their state and the course of their wars. She considers the impact of colonial contact on the myths and demonstrates that Indigenous engagement with the new cultural customs introduced by the Europeans never entirely uprooted old ways of thinking.","authors":["Camilla Townsend"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000","9050400","9050401"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/536\/9780500025536_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/536\/9780500025536_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/536\/9780500025536_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"21,00 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"27 avril 2024","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Camilla Townsend \u2014 Thames & Hudson","translator":null,"weight":788,"page_count":208,"readership":null,"editor":"Thames & Hudson","price":2100,"published_date":"2024-04-26T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780500025536\/the-aztec-myths-a-guide-to-the-ancient-stories-and-legends"},{"id":"9780500026410","title":"Ancient magic in Greece and Rome : A hands-on guide","description":"An accessible historical exploration of the methods and motivations behind using magic in ancient Greece and Rome.\r\n\r\nIn the ancient world, magic was everywhere.

In a time before scientists studied weather patterns and figured out what caused the Earth's most mysterious phenomena, it was magic that packed a cloud full of energy until it exploded with thunderbolts. It was everyday magic, but it was still magical.\r\n\r\nIn Ancient Magic, author Philip Matyszak ushers readers into that world, showing how ancient Greeks and Romans concocted love potions and cast curses, how they talked to the dead and protected themselves from evil spirits. He takes readers to a world where gods interacted with humans and where people could not only talk to spirits and deities, but could themselves become divine.\r\n\r\nAncient Magic presents us with a new understanding of the role of magic, combining a classical historiography with a practical how-to guide. Using a wide array of sources and lavish illustrations, this book offers an engaging and accessible way into the supernatural for all.","authors":["Philp Matyszak"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000","9050400","9050404"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/410\/9780500026410_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/410\/9780500026410_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/410\/9780500026410_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"21,00 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"6 juillet 2023","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Philp Matyszak \u2014 Thames & Hudson","translator":null,"weight":501,"page_count":232,"readership":null,"editor":"Thames & Hudson","price":2100,"published_date":"2023-07-05T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780500026410\/ancient-magic-in-greece-and-rome-a-hands-on-guide"}]}
