The book delves into the complex life of Alojzije Stepinac, Cardinal Archbishop of Zagreb, whose legacy has been contentious since his show trial in 1946. It utilizes newly accessible original sources, including Secret Police files, to uncover his actions during turbulent times, including World War II and the rise of Communism. Stepinac's struggle to navigate authoritarian regimes while maintaining faith and protecting lives is highlighted, alongside the intense scrutiny he faced regarding accusations of wartime complicity. His eventual beatification by Pope John Paul II adds to the ongoing debate surrounding his legacy.

Margaret Thatcher is one of the most iconic politicians of the twentieth century. With the possible exception of Winston Churchill, no other Prime Minister has had such an impact on modern British history. Like it or not, her radical social and economic policies have made Britain the country it is today. Without Margaret Thatcher there could have been no New Labour, no Tony Blair and no David Cameron. Now Robin Harris, for many years Thatcher's speechwriter, trusted adviser and the draftsman of two volumes of her autobiography, has written the defining book about this indomitable woman. He tells her extraordinary life story, from humble beginnings above her father's grocer's shop in Grantham, her early days as one of the first women in Westminster who became known as 'Thatcher milk-snatcher' during her days in the Ministry for Education and then as Prime Minister. We follow her through the 'Winter of Discontent', the tribulations of the miners' strike and the Falklands War. And Harris writes a stunning account of her exit from power and tells of her life after number 10.

Olonkho, the epic narrative and song tradition of Siberia’s Sakha people, declined to the brink of extinction during the Soviet era. In 2005, UNESCO’s Masterpiece Proclamation sparked a resurgence of interest in olonkho by recognizing its important role in humanity’s oral and intangible heritage. Drawing on her ten years of living in the Russian North, Robin P. Harris documents how the Sakha have used the Masterpiece program to revive olonkho and strengthen their cultural identity. Harris’s personal relationships with and primary research among Sakha people provide vivid insights into understanding olonkho and the attenuation, revitalization, transformation, and sustainability of the Sakha’s cultural reemergence. Interdisciplinary in scope, Storytelling in Siberia considers the nature of folklore alongside ethnomusicology, anthropology, comparative literature, and cultural studies to shed light on how marginalized peoples are revitalizing their own intangible cultural heritage.

Životopis Margarety Thatcherové (1925–2013), trojnásobné britské premiérky, je fascinujícím příběhem dívky z malých poměrů, která se pod dohledem přísného, avšak laskavého otce vypracovala k významné historické roli. V době jejího politického zrání byla Británie svobodná, ale vyčerpaná válkou a ztrátou impéria, což vedlo k postupnému úpadku průmyslu a ekonomické svobody. Vzdělaní konzervativní politici byli ovlivněni předválečnou krizí a věřili, že stát musí řídit ekonomiku. Z krize však mohou povstat velcí politici, kteří voličům předloží, co demokracie nesnáší – pot a slzy. V atmosféře nepochopení a rozdělené veřejnosti se odehrálo drama, které ukázalo, že prosperita vychází z vnitřního vztahu svobody a soukromého majetku. Margareta se statečně postavila socialistům, odborům a státní byrokracii. Sověti ji označili za „Železnou lady“, která ve studené válce zvítězila. I když dnes už nikdo nepropaguje státní průmysl, regulace a byrokracie se opět zvyšují, ohrožující ekonomickou svobodu a tím i demokracii. Zápas Margarety Thatcherové je proto důležitým poučením a varováním pro současnost.
