Historien om det skandaløse rettsdramaet som banet vei for Adolf Hitler og nazistene i 1923. Journalister fra fjern og nær flokket til München da Hitler og ni andre mistenkte ble anklaget for høyforræderi. Rettssaken skjøv Hitler inn i begivenhetenes lys, ga ham en scene for sin propaganda og åpnet veien mot makten. Dette er en fengslende historie om forbrytelse og straff – og et rettslig feilgrep med katastrofale konsekvenser.

Longlisted for the JQ Wingate Prize On the evening of November 8, 1923, the thirty-four-year-old Adolf Hitler stormed into a beer hall in Munich, fired his pistol in the air, and proclaimed a revolution. Seventeen hours later, all that remained of his bold move was a trail of destruction. Hitler was on the run from the police. His career seemed to be over.In The Trial of Adolf Hitler, the acclaimed historian David King tells the true story of the monumental criminal proceeding that followed when Hitler and nine other suspects were charged with high treason. Reporters from as far away as Argentina and Australia flocked to Munich for the sensational four-week spectacle. By its end, Hitler would transform the fiasco of the beer hall putsch into a stunning victory for the fledgling Nazi Party. It was this trial that thrust Hitler into the limelight, provided him with an unprecedented stage for his demagoguery, and set him on his improbable path to power.Based on trial transcripts, police files, and many other new sources, including some five hundred documents recently discovered from the Landsberg Prison record office, The Trial of Adolf Hitler is a gripping true story of crime and punishment - and a haunting failure of justice with catastrophic consequences.

The Trial of Adolf Hitler tells the true story of the monumental criminal proceeding that thrust Hitler into the limelight after the failed beer hall putsch, provided him with an unprecedented stage for his demagoguery, and set him on his improbable path to power.

First published in 1984. This book brings together and develops the economic theory relating to the design and operation of systems of non-central government — positing major developments in several areas. It considers what functions systems most suitably perform in non-central governments, and their appropriate size and structure. How these authorities might finance themselves — by taxes, charges or loans — is analysed in detail. It also examines the use of grants by higher tiers of government and how such programmes should be designed. Concentrating on contemporary economic concerns, it relates the theory to practice in countries such as Australia, Canada, West Germany, the UK and USA.

"Life can seem mundane, ordinary or awful - or it can be an adventure..." In this book David King, an international lecturer and a church leader for more than 30 years, is sharing his journey in faith in the hope of inspiring the reader to live a life of adventure in his or her own way, without letting the challenges and stumbling blocks of life deter them from their goals. "Whatever your adventure, I trust you will find helps, hints and concepts which progress you forward... most of all, I trust that my adventure will encourage you to explore Christ, His claims and His church, with a view to including these in your adventure. Remember, the best is yet to come "

The interconnectedness of communities, organisations, governing bodies, policy and individuals in the field of disaster studies has never been accurately examined or comprehensively modelled. This kind of study is vital for planning policy and emergency responses and assessing individual and community vulnerability, resilience and sustainability as well as mitigation and adaptation to climate change impacts; it therefore deserves attention.Disasters and Social Resilience fills this gap by introducing to the field of disaster studies a fresh methodology and a model for examining and measuring impacts and responses to disasters. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory, which is used to look at communities holistically, is outlined and illustrated through a series of chapters, guiding the reader from the theory's underpinnings through research illustrations and applications focused on each level of Bronfenbrenner’s ecosystems, culminating in an integration chapter. The final chapter provides policy recommendations for local and national government bodies and emergency providers to help individuals and communities prepare and withstand the effects of a range of disasters. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of disaster and emergency management, disaster readiness and risk reduction (DRR), and to scholars and students of more general climate change and sustainability studies.

It seems almost unfair that the sins of others could so deeply affect our lives; not only because of the hurt, betrayal or suffering they cause, but also because of the long lasting damage that unforgiveness and bitterness bring long after the perpetrators have forgotten what they did. Forgiveness defines our identity as disciples of Jesus; it sets us free and transforms our lives. Dr. King addresses the subject with both the thoroughness of a scholar and the humanity that comes through experience.Using the life of Joseph, King leads us through the process of healing and redemption that brings freedom and glory to God. Dr. King has a passion for ministry. He takes seriously the calling to be a 'minister of reconciliation' both between man and God, but also between broken people who have hurt one another. Dr. King shows from the life of Joseph that forgiveness is possible and can lead to the glory of God. A worthwhile read.
