Döden är vår business : den otroliga historien om PMC Wagner och Jevgenij Prigozjin

»Jag ger dig ett soldatnamn: Wagner. Sedan får du själv se om du vill gå vidare eller inte.«
Döden är vår business skildrar framväxten av den ökända ryska privatarmén Wagnergruppen, som skapades för att utföra Kremls smutsiga arbete utan att lämna några fingeravtryck. År 2014 undanröjde den makthavare i Donbas som inte ville lyda Moskva och verkade bakom kulisserna i inbördeskrigens Libyen, Mali och Syrien, där den chockade världen med sina brutala avrättningar. Efter den fullskaliga invasionen av Ukraina började Wagnergruppen operera öppet och rekryterade mördare och tjuvar direkt från de ryska fängelserna. Hjärnan bakom privatarmén var »Putins kock« Jevgenij Prigozjin, före detta straffånge, korvkioskägare, restaurangmagnat, mästertrollare och makthungrig entreprenör, som omkom i en flygkrasch efter sitt väpnade uppror mot Moskva i juni 2023.
BBC-journalisterna Ilja Barabanov och Denis Korotkov följer hans väg från fängelset till Kremls innersta kretsar och kartlägger Wagnergruppens uppkomst och fall. Detta är en berättelse om makt utan ansvar, våld utan gränser och Vladimir Putins maffiastat.

Ur boken:
»Alltihop skedde mer eller mindre inför öppen ridå, åtminstone skrev oberoende journalister både i Ryssland och utlandet regelbundet om Prigozjins många äventyr och bedrägerier. Trots detta ignorerades det fullständigt av den ryska regeringen och rättsväsendet, även när det handlade om mord på andra ryska medborgare som begicks med Prigozjins kännedom. Så fungerade det maffialiknande system som Vladimir Putin hade byggt upp -- en stat där personer nära ledaren alltid står över lagen och eliten inte lever enligt rättsliga normer, utan enligt oskrivna regler. Det var detta som möjliggjorde Prigozjins uppgång -- en tidigare kriminell som alltid värdesatte lojalitet högre än alla andra principer. Med den högste ledarens godkännande fick denne före detta brottsling mångmiljardkontrakt från staten, byggde ett medieimperium för att sprida Kremlvänlig propaganda och grundade en privatarmé. Detta gjorde det möjligt för en medioker och outbildad restauratör med stor fantasi och enorma ambitioner att bli en global skräckfigur.«
Ilja Barabanov är en rysk grävande journalist verksam vid BBC:s ryskspråkiga redaktion. Han har i över ett årtionde följt Wagnergruppens framfart i Ukraina, Syrien, Afrika och Ryssland, och var en av de första journalisterna att avslöja gruppen. Tidigare var han specialreporter på tidningen Kommersant, och han har belönats med Peter Mackler Award från Reportrar utan gränser.
Denis Korotkov har sedan 2013 granskat paramilitära grupper och publicerat banbrytande reportage om Jevgenij Prigozjin och Wagnergruppen i Fontanka, Novaja Gazeta och Dossier Center. Hans arbete har lett till dödshot, men också till flera utmärkelser, bland annat Redkollegia-priset, Andrej Sacharov-priset och nominering till Global Shining Light International Award for Investigative Journalism.
Resurgence and Revolution
The PKK and the Kurdish Fight in Turkey and Syria
AvAliza Marcus

302 kr
Skickas
A riveting current history of the Kurdish rebel PKK groupAliza Marcus' new book tells the remarkable story of Kurdish revolution in the Middle East led by the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) – the rebel group whose insurgency in Turkey has impacted countries, conflicts, and Kurdish demands throughout the region.Combining reportage and scholarship, Resurgence and Revolution explores the PKK's resurgence from the brink of defeat after the capture of its leader, Abdullah Ocalan, in 1999, and the brutal internal split that followed. The book tells the story of how Ocalan – operating from prison – reshaped the PKK to extend the group's influence beyond Turkey's borders, setting the stage for the group's dominance of northeastern Syria and the unlikely partnership between its allied forces and the U.S. in the fight against ISIS. Based on interviews with PKK fighters, their supporters, and opponents in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Europe, Marcus traces the group's ability to maintain power in Turkey and extend its activities across borders, using PKK rebels' own voices to show why young people join and fight for the group and its affiliates in Syria and Iran.For the more than 30 million Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria – and for the leaders of these countries – the PKK is a force that cannot be ignored. Understanding the PKK and what drives its supporters is crucial for understanding Kurdish demands and potential solutions.The fall of the Assad regime, and a new peace process between Turkey and the PKK has changed the dynamics for Kurdish demands and their control over territory in Syria. Resurgence and Revolution is a compelling and necessary read for understanding the impact of a resurgent PKK, the future of the Middle East, and the enduring struggle of the Kurds to rule themselves.

Pity the Nation ranks among the classic accounts of war in our time, both as historical document and as an eyewitness testament to human savagery. Written by one of Britain's foremost journalists, this remarkable book combines political analysis and war reporting in an unprecedented way: it is an epic account of the Lebanon conflict by an author who has personally witnessed the carnage of Beirut for over a decade. Fisk's book recounts the details of a terrible war but it also tells a story of betrayal and illusion, of Western blindness that had led inevitably to political and military catastrophe.Updated and revised, Fisk's book gives us a further insight into this troubled part of the world.'Robert Fisk is one of the outstanding reporters of this generation. As a war correpondent he is unrivalled.'Edward Mortimer, Financial Times

Hitler's War Against the French Resistance
1940-1944
AvAntonio J Muñoz

In 1941, a year after France formally surrendered, Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the Free French forces, appointed Jean Moulin to coordinate the various resistance movements that had sprung up all over France. His mission was to unify the diverse and often fragmented resistance groups into a more cohesive organization. He successfully brought together various resistance factions under the umbrella of the National Council of the Resistance (CNR), which was a crucial step toward creating a united front against both the Nazis and the Vichy French regime.Since the start of the Occupation, the Germans realized that resistance to their rule was inevitable. With this in mind, they went about establishing total control of France, not only through the German Army forces stationed in the country, but using the entire Nazi security apparatus.From 1941 onwards, the Germans began to encounter frequent and increasingly more damaging acts of resistance, which required not only intelligence and counter-intelligence work, but the launching of raids and small operations. The intensity of partisan attacks began to increase even more in 1942. This level of resistance grew even greater in 1943. By then, the partisans were selectively challenging local German garrisons and collaborator forces in the French countryside.By the beginning of 1944, the Resistance, or Maquis as it was also known, became bolder, even establishing so-called Free-French republics in various regions of the country. Employing primary source documents from several archives, author Antonio Muñoz has produced a one-volume study that fully covers the partisan and anti-partisan struggle in France from 1940 through to 1944. Hitler’s War Against the French Resistance, 1940-1944 is a valuable reference source for those who wish to study the guerrilla and anti-guerrilla struggle during the Second World War.

In this fully illustrated introduction, acclaimed historian Dr Aaron Edwards provides a concise overview of one of the most difficult and controversial actions in recent history.Spanning 38 years of the ‘Troubles’, the British Army’s deployment in Northern Ireland (codenamed Operation Banner) was one of the most difficult and controversial in its recent history. Over 10,000 troops were on active service during much of the campaign, which saw armoured vehicles, helicopters and special forces deployed onto the streets of Ulster. In this book, Dr Aaron Edwards considers the strategic, operational and tactical aspects of Operation Banner, as the Army’s military objectives morphed from high-profile peacekeeping into a covert war against the IRA. Using personal testimony from both sides of the sectarian divide, as well as insights from the soldiers themselves, he presents an authoritative introduction to the Army’s role in the Troubles, providing expert analysis of Operation Banner’s successes and failures.Updated and revised for the new edition, with full-colour maps and 50 new images, this is an accessible introduction to the complicated yet fascinating history of modern Britain‘s longest military campaign.

The Five (later Six) Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy were central to the story of the white colonization of the American Northeast.The European fur trade transformed their world, and the struggles between English and French colonists forced the tribes to take sides. Sir William Johnson's efforts in the Mohawk Valley ensured that the Iroquois Nations were allies of the British crown; and the loyalty of his kinsman Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea) during the American Revolution forced the Mohawks into Canadian exile.This richly illustrated book introduces Iroquois history, social organization, religion and material culture.

Immediately after the Allied invasion of Italy in September 1943, Mussolini was deposed and the new Italian government switched sides. The German occupying forces swiftly freed Il Duce and ruthlessly disarmed the Italian Army; and from then until the end of the war in April 1945 Italian troops fought on both sides with the forces of the new Fascist 'Salo Republic', in the Allied 'Co-Belligerent Forces', and in the Partisan movement. This period of bitter struggle saw the appearance of many new units and a wide range of interesting uniforms, described and illustrated in this final part of Philip Jowett's comprehensive three-volume series.

'Afghanistan is just like Iraq – hot, dusty and full of people who want to kill you', SSgt Simon Fuller, Royal Engineer Search AdvisorBomb Hunters tells the story of the British army's elite bomb disposal experts, men who face death every day in the most dangerous region of the most lethal country on earth – Helmand Province, Afghanistan.Bomb Hunters are up against the Improvised Explosive Device – the IED – the deadly homemade bombs planted by the Taliban. Hard to detect and easy to trigger, an estimated 10 bombs for every one of the 10,000 British troops have been planted in the region. IEDs are now the main killer of British troops in Afghanistan and the ultimate psychological weapon.Bomb Hunters work in 50-degree heat as they take the 'long walk' into the kill zone, defusing as many as 15 bombs a day. In the past year the casualty rate has soared as the troops have become locked into a deadly game of cat and mouse – to locate and deactivate the deadly bombs before they maim and kill soldiers, police and civilians. Skill, cold courage and inevitably pure luck play a huge part in the survival of these men and as the British public have already seen – a single lapse of concentration can result in instant death.Ex-paratrooper, now defence journalist, Sean Rayment, takes the reader on a journey into the heat and dust of Helmand Province as he meets these courageous soldiers while they put their lives at risk to prevent other British troops falling victim to the IED. He interviews the Bomb Hunters as they perform their duties on the frontline and paints a breathtaking picture of what life is like for the men who play poker with their own lives every day, who live knowing the enemy watches their every move, waiting for a weakness to show itself, a pattern in technique to be exploited, or an error to be made that triggers the device itself.This is as vivid and dramatic as war reporting gets, mixing 'close to the bone' narrative and dead-pan black humour from the Bomb Hunters themselves, some of whom were subsequently killed in action. No punches will be pulled on what these men feel about the war, their place in it, the politicians and generals who send them there, and how they deal with the relentless pressure of the job itself in the heart of the world's most hostile combat environment.

Läs direkt efter köp
A thoroughly updated history of the legendary French Foreign Legion by the bestselling author of Who Dares WinsTony Geraghty analyses the legend and re-examines the battle honours of the Foreign Legion, and his revelations illuminate the darker side of its historic relationship to the motherland. Called into being in 1831 as a device to absorb the footloose veterans of Napoleon’s old armies, the French Foreign Legion subsequently won astonishing victories in the farflung battlefields of Spain, the Crimea, Algeria and Morrocco, Italy, Mexico, Syria, Indo-China, Madagascar, and West and Central Africa.March or Die also traces the Legion's diminished fortunes in recent years. It has fought in the Gulf War, Rwanda and Kosovo among other conflicts, but has found itself in 'a world of political correctness which left the Legion marooned on an island of admirable but anachronistic values'. Forced to accept women in its ranks and no longer unique now that conscription has been abolished, it is searching for its place in the modern world.

A cultural and military history of the sniper since 1643, when the first shot was fired by a sniper during the battle for Litchfield in the English Civil War, to the present day.Previously published as The Hunting of Man.‘The modern sniper is perhaps the most versatile soldier on the battlefield. He is totally self-reliant, living off the land and his wits, the most vital link in the chain of combat. Ranging at will over the battlefield, he will push himself to his technological and psychological limit to provide protection for his comrades, intelligence for his commanders, and deadly interdiction whenever it is necessary. He is essentially a living weapon.’In an engrossing history driven by the stories of the great marksmen of each era, Andy Dougan traces the development of the sniper’s role from the English Civil War to the modern day. A role that, despite tactical innovation and technological advance, has always aspired to the same lethal efficiency: one shot, one kill.
