Opklaringen af et meget omtalt mord - Paul Smith - Bog - Hovedland - Plusbog.dk

Opklaringen af et meget omtalt mord - Paul Smith - Bog - Hovedland - Plusbog.dk

I Lasse Spang Olsens DR-dokudrama Det forkerte mord "opklares" Palme-mordet med hjælp fra en forsumpet slyngel og en korrupt kriminalkommissær, der får sjusset sig frem til, at det tyvende århundredes måske største mordskandale skyldes et slumpetræf. Besnærende - og Lasse Spang Olsens forklaring matcher måske godt med mediernes sensationslyst, hvor virkeligheden skal kunne pitches i én sætning og knibes sammen til 45 minutters tv. Teorien, der længe har været kendt stof i Sverige, fejes af bordet i første kapitel af Paul Smiths mesterlige krimi om Palme-mordet: Palme blev ikke skudt, fordi Christer Petterson forvekslede ham med Sigge Cedergren. Tværtimod havde Christer og Sigge det bedste forhold, da Palme blev myrdet. Olof Palmes virkelig morder havde et hævnmotiv, boede 15 minutters gang fra mordstedet og ejede en Smith & Wesson .357 magnumrevolver af samme type som mordvåbenet. Derimod havde han intet alibi for mordaftenen. Under opklaringen - der trækker på pålidelige vidner, sagsakterne og granskningskommissionens 103 sider lange betænkning - formår Paul Smith at dramatisere hele sagens gruopvækkende kompleksitet og den absurde svenske efterforskning.

The Ragman's Son - Kirk Douglas - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Kirk Douglas's skilful and passionate autobiography charts the rise of the son of an illiterate Russian-Jewish ragman who became one of the last surviving legends from Hollywood's golden era, who died aged 103 in February 2020. With unflinching humour and frankness he reveals the inside story of more than forty years of stardom, working alongside Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, John Wayne and Laurence Olivier - and his relationships with movie goddesses like Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth and Marlene Dietrich . He starred in numerous films that have gone on to become enduring classics, such as Spartacus , The Glass Menagerie , Lust for Life , Paths of Glory and Gunfight at the OK Corral . He was nominated for an Oscar three times, and won a lifetime achievement Oscar in 1996. He campaigned against the Hollywood blacklist, giving opportunities to young directors such as Stanley Kubrick and, after starring in the play One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest , he gave the film rights to his son Michael Douglas , who produced the Oscar-winning movie that followed. Rich in unforgettable anecdotes that capture the true spirit of the golden years of Hollywood and Broadway, this is an autobiography that reads like a novel, narrated by the unmistakable voice of a true superstar .

Libya and the West - Hahn - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Libya and the West: What Everyone Needs to Know® is a welcome update to the literature on Western diplomatic relations with Libya. It specifically analyzes the complicated relationships that Italy, Britain, the United States, and France developed with Libya beginning in the 1910s. On the basis of a wide range of primary and secondary sources, it offers insights into the political and socio-economic conditions within Libya that concerned Western leaders and shaped their policies. Among the crucial episodes that this book embraces are fascist Italy''s military conquest and colonization of Libya; the expulsion of Axis armies from Libya and other north African states during World War II; the enthronement of King Idris in 1951; the discovery of oil in Libya in 1959. It explains the seizure of power by Muammar Qaddafi in 1969; the low-intensity military conflict between the United States and Libya in the 1980s; the Western response to Libyan acts of terrorism, including the murder of a British police officer in London in 1984 and the downing of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988; the enduring turmoil sparked by the Arab Spring in 2011; the decision by NATO powers to intervene militarily in the Libyan civil war to ensure the downfall of the Qaddafi regime; and the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens at Benghazi in 2012.

Anecdotes and Antidotes - Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Anecdotes and Antidotes - Ibn Abi Usaybi'ah - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

To my knowledge...no one...has ever written a comprehensive book dealing with physicians through the ages and recounting their history in a coherent fashion.So wrote Syrian physician Ibn Abi Usaybi''ah, circa 1243, as he embarked on the first world history of medicine ever attempted. Many physicians served at the royal courts of their time and were firmly part of the intellectual and cultural scene, where the ability to write stylishly and entertain one''s peers in both prose and verse was the basis of social credibility. The work Ibn Abi Usaybi''ah created contains over 432 biographical accounts of physicians from those of ancient Greece, such as Galen, through Avicenna and Maimonides, to the author''s own colleagues of the 13th century. As such, his work includes important accounts of medical activity in medieval hospitals. Through this book, a window opens not only on to the origins of the medical profession, but also into the truly multi-cultural, multi-religious world of the medieval Middle East. Anecdotes and Antidotes is an abridged version of this world history of medicine. It comprises 103 biographies of physicians and philosophers, organized geographically and chronologically, from the 4th century BC to the 13th century, and includes seminal Muslim, Christian and Jewish figures. It contains vital medical and historical information, as well as revealing the cultural values, interests and concerns of the literary and intellectual elite of the time.

Explosive - Cliff Todd - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

THE STORY OF BRITAIN'' S LEADING FORENSIC EXPLOSIVES SCIENTIST, WHO FOR NEARLY THREE-DECADES INVESTIGATED SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL BOMB ATTACKS IN HISTORY. Cliff Todd devoted his life to bringing bomb makers to justice. He and his colleagues at the Ministry of Defence''s Forensic Explosives Laboratory are the unsung heroes of terrorist bomb attacks - the men and women in white suits who piece together who planted the bombs, what a device consisted of and how the perpetrators might give themselves away.They played a pivotal role in uncovering the secrets behind some of the world''s most horrifying terrorist outrages. Explosive tells the stories of these high-profile cases and details, for the first time, the contribution Todd and his team made in tracking down bombers during a time when Britain was under attack first by the IRA and then by Islamic extremists inspired by al-Qaeda. Explosive takes the reader into the murky world of the amateur bomb maker, and reveals what Todd''s department achieved in many now infamous attacks, including the device concealed in a radio cassette player that brought down Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, the IRA attacks on Warrington in Cheshire, the Bali nightclub bombings of 2002, and the 7/7 onslaught in central London that claimed 56 lives and injured 784 others in 2005.In Explosive , Todd takes us step by step through the investigations, explaining the chemistry, the forensic work and the emotional toll on him and his staff as they sought to recreate and understand what had happened at some of the most shocking tragedies in modern peacetime history.
