Book Description
"In July 1982, at the height of the Lebanion war, Uri Avnery crossed the lines in Beirut for a sensational meeting with the PLO leader. This was the culmination of a clandestime operation which had started eight years previously when the author first met in deepest secrecy with a high-ranking PLO official in London. These contacts led to secret meetings in various countries, involving kings, presidents and statesmen from half a dozen governments. They included Yitzhak Rabin and Menahem Begin; King Hassan of Morocco and President Bourghiba; the late Sa'id Hammami and Issam Satrawi from the PLO; as well as prominent European socialist leaders like ex-Premier Mendes-France and ex-Chancellor Bruno Kreisky who were the first European statesmen to take the PLO seriously."--Back cover.

Book Description
A fascinating new perspective on World War II; a fictitious, personalized take on the real-life rebel German youth group, the Edelweiss Pirates. Karl Friedman is only twelve, but like all boys his age in Germany, he's already playing war games, training to join the Hitler Youth. Stefan, Karl's nonconformist older brother, wants nothing to do with it. Then their father is killed, and what had been a game suddenly becomes deadly serious. Karl's faith in the Fuhrer is shaken: Is Hitler a national hero--or a villain? What is the meaning of the flower symbol stitched inside Stefan's jacket, and what is the mission of the shadow group he belongs to? Karl soon finds out as he joins his brother in a dangerous rebellion against the burgeoning threat of Nazism.

Book Description
This book explores the contradictory development of gender roles in Central and Eastern Europe including Russia. In light of the social changes that followed the collapse of communism and the rise of new conservatism in Eastern Europe, it studies new forms of gender relationships and reassesses the status quo of female empowerment. Moreover, leading scholars in gender studies discuss how right-wing populism and conservative movements have affected sociopolitical discourses and concepts related to gender roles, rights, and attitudes, and how Western feminism in the 1990s may have contributed to this conservative turn. Mainly focusing on power constellations and gender, the book is divided into four parts: the first explores the history of and recent trends in feminist movements in Eastern Europe, while the second highlights the dynamics and conflicts that gained momentum after neoconservative parties gained political power in post-socialist countries. In turn, the third part discusses new empowerment strategies and changes in gender relationships. The final part illustrates the identities, roles, and concepts of masculinity created in the sociocultural and political context of Eastern Europe.
