      Perón and Perónism, is unique, especially among English language books, insofar as it is not so much a biography of the remarkable Argentine president, but an explanation of Perónism in theory and practice. While the lives of Juan, and especially Eva, Perón are relatively easy to access, seldom is it that a biography of the Peróns, or even a scholarly history of Argentina, details the doctrine of Justicialism. In Perón and Perónism, Bolton draws on primary documents and speeches to define the Perónist doctrine that has moved the hearts and minds of the majority of Argentines for generations. Perón is shown to have been not only a great leader, who built the foundations of modern Argentina, but a philosopher who drew upon various philosophical schools, from Classical Greece onwards in synthesising a 'third position' that transcends capitalism and communism, Right and Left, and exposes 'demoliberalism' as a fraud. Here we also see a man of vision, an exponent of geopolitical blocs to counter globalist hegemony, whose ideals remain profoundly relevant in the age of globalisation.

    • Der britische Archäologe und Agent Thomas Edward Lawrence, zur Legende geworden als „Lawrence von Arabien“, half während des Ersten Weltkrieges den Arabern bei ihrem erfolgreichen Aufstand gegen die Herrschaft der Osmanen. Sein packender Bericht aus der Sicht des aktiven Partisanenkämpfers beschreibt dabei nicht nur die militärischen Ereignisse, sondern zugleich die Bräuche und Mentalität der Wüstenvölker und die bizarren Eigenartigkeiten des Lebensraumes.

    • Challenging the modern belief in linear progress, the book argues that contemporary values such as liberalism and materialism are not unique but rather historical patterns observed in past civilizations. It draws on insights from ancient cultures, including Greece, Rome, and Egypt, to illustrate that the traits celebrated as advancements today have historically signified the decline of societies. By examining these recurring themes, the author invites readers to reconsider the notion of progress and its implications for contemporary civilization.
