Citizen
A powerful, candid, and richly detailed memoir from an American icon, revealing what life looks like after the presidency: triumphs, tribulations, and all.On 20th January 2001, after nearly thirty years in politics - eight of them as President of the United States - Bill Clinton was suddenly a private citizen. Only fifty-four years old, full of energy and ideas, he wanted to make meaningful use of his skills, his relationships with world leaders, and all he'd learned in a lifetime of politics, but how? Just days after leaving the White House, the call came to aid victims of a devastating earthquake in India, and Clinton hit the ground running. Over the next two decades, he would create an enduring legacy of public service and advocacy work, from Indonesia to Louisiana, Northern Ireland to South Africa, and in the process reimagine philanthropy and redefine the impact a former president could have on the world.Citizen is Clinton's front-row, first-person chronicle of his post-presidential years and the most significant events of the twenty-first century, including 9/11 and the runup to the Iraq War, the Haiti earthquake, the Great Recession, COVID-19, the January 6th insurrection, and the enduring culture wars of our times. Yet Citizen is more than a presidential memoir. These pages capture Clinton in a rare and unforgettable light: not only as celebrated former president and foundation leader, but also as a father, grandfather, and husband. He shares his support for Hillary Clinton during her tenure as senator, secretary of state, and presidential candidate, and openly details the frustration and pain of the 2016 election.With clarity and compassion, President Clinton also weighs in on the unprecedented challenges brought on by a global pandemic, ongoing inequality, a steadily warming planet, and authoritarian forces dedicated to weakening democracy. In this landmark publication, the highly anticipated follow-up to the best-selling My Life, Clinton pens a clear-sighted account of American democracy on a global stage, offering a frank reflection on the past and, with it, a fearless embrace of our future. Citizen is a testament to one man's unwavering commitment to family and nation, a self-portrait of equal parts eloquence, insight, and candor.

Citizen Kane
Inte många filmer kan rätteligen göra anspråk på att vara världens genom tiderna bästa film, men de flesta brukar vara eniga om att det här är en av dem.Orson Welles tidlösa mästerverk är inte bara ett stycke nyskapande filmhistoria utan också storslagen underhållning en kompromisslös uppgörelse med den amerikanska drömmen genom den episka skildringen av en inflytelserik mediapamps uppgång och fall.Welles lägger pussel med mysteriet kring den döende Kanes sista förbryllande ord, där varje pusselbit bidrar till en intrikat väv av makt, korruption, fåfänga och mänsklig tragedi som håller spänningen uppe till det bittra slutet, då den sista och avgörande pusselbiten äntligen läggs på plats.Citizen Kane skapade en enorm kontrovers där verklighetens intriger snabbt överträffade diktens, och mediamogulen Randolph Hearst, vars liv filmen är baserad på, förbjöd hela sitt mediaimperium att skriva om filmen eller göra minsta reklam för den - ett förbud som stod sig i över 30 år.Den blott 25-årige Welles filmdebut bjuder på lysande skådespelarprestationer, innovativ och visuell regi samt ett nyskapande filmfoto. Filmen blev trots medias motstånd och alla anklagelser nominerad till inte mindre än nio Oscar.

Citizen 865
In 1990, in a drafty basement archive in Prague, two American historians made a startling discovery: a Nazi roster from 1945 that no Western investigator had ever seen. The long-forgotten document, containing more than 700 names, helped unravel the details behind the most lethal killing operation in World War Two. In the tiny Polish village of Trawniki, the SS set up a school for mass murder and then recruited a roving army of foot soldiers, 5,000 men strong, to help annihilate the Jewish population of occupied Poland. After the war, some of these men vanished, making their way to the U.S. and blending into communities across America. Though they participated in some of the most unspeakable crimes of the Holocaust, 'Trawniki Men' spent years hiding in plain sight, their terrible secrets intact. In a story spanning seven decades, Citizen 865 chronicles the harrowing wartime journeys of two Jewish orphans from occupied Poland who outran the men of Trawniki and settled in the United
