Werner Maser, der seit Jahrzehnten zu den profundesten Hitler-Forschern gehört, ist Garant für die Veröffentlichung und Analyse bislang unberücksichtigter, brisanter historischer Dokumente. In seinem neuesten Buch untersucht Maser die Zeitgeschichtsschreibung über Hitler, Stalin ihre Regime und Hinterlassenschaften und stößt dabei auf Fälschungen und Irrtümer von namhaften deutschen und ausländischen Hitlerbiografen, Chronisten und Historikern. Zahlreiche Beispiele dokumentieren, wie nachweisbare historische Fakten verändert und in ein vorgegebenes Raster eingepasst wurden. Legenden, Mutmaßungen und Behauptungen, in denen historische Ereignisse teilweise sinnverkehrt verzerrt wurden, werden aufgeführt und den tatsächlichen historischen Sachverhalten gegenüber gestellt. Die Aufdeckung der "angepassten Fakten" ist ebenso verblüffend, wie der sich daraus ergebene Erkenntnisgewinn. Wird man künftig in der Geschichtsschreibung Korrekturen anbringen müssen? ...

A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of 'karma' that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the internationally bestselling author and world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru. What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins-the mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action- your action, your responsibility. It isn't some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it's possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior. In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver's seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of ...
