NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Now in paperback—Peggy Orenstein, author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller Girls &amp; Sex, turns her focus to the sexual lives of young men. “Eye-opening…. Every few pages, the boy world cracks open a little bit…. Even in the most anxiety-provoking moments of Boys &amp; Sex, it’s clear that Orenstein believes in the goodness of boys and the men they can become, and she believes in us, as parents, to raise them” (New York Times Book Review). 
Peggy Orenstein’s Girls &amp; Sex broke ground, shattered taboos, and launched conversations about young women’s right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters. It also had an unexpected effect on its author: Orenstein realized that talking about girls is only half the conversation. Boys are subject to the same cultural forces as girls—steeped in the same distorted media images and binary stereotypes of female sexiness and toxic masculinity—which equally affect how they navigate sexual and emotional relationships. In Boys &amp; Sex, Peggy Orenstein dives back into the lives of young people to once again give voice to the unspoken, revealing how young men understand and negotiate the new rules of physical and emotional intimacy.
Drawing on comprehensive interviews with young men, psychologists, academics, and experts in the field, Boys &amp; Sex dissects so-called locker room talk; how the word “hilarious” robs boys of empathy; pornography as the new sex education; boys’ understanding of hookup culture and consent; and their experience as both victims and perpetrators of sexual violence. By surfacing young men’s experience in all its complexity, Orenstein is able to unravel the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important realities of young male sexuality in today’s world. The result is a provocative and paradigm-shifting work that offers a much-needed vision of how boys can truly move forward as better men.

Tyrant, psychopath, and implementer of a ruthless programme of racial extermination, Adolf Hitler was also the charismatic Führer of millions of dedicated followers. In this major new biography, internationally acclaimed German historian Peter Longerich brings Hitler back to centre-stage in the history of Nazism, revealing a far more active and interventionist dictator than we are familiar with from recent accounts, with a flexibility of approach that often surprises. Whether it was foreign policy, war-making, terror, mass murder, cultural and religious affairs, or even mundane everyday matters, Longerich reveals how decisive a force Hitler was in the formulation of policy, sometimes right down to the smallest details, in a way which until now has not been fully appreciated. Consistently and ruthlessly destroying both the people and the power structures that stood in his way, Longerich shows how over time Hitler succeeded in forging his 'Führer dictatorship' - with terrifying and almost limitless power over the German people.

Heinrich Himmler

Joseph Goebbels (1897–1945) war ein radikaler Antisemit und Gewaltfanatiker, der sich in der Rolle des Schöngeists gefiel und zugleich eine entscheidende Rolle bei den beispiellosen Verbrechen des »Dritten Reichs« spielte. Mit dieser Biographie erzählt Peter Longerich die politische wie die private Lebensgeschichte von Hitlers Chefpropagandisten und wirft zugleich ein neues Licht auf Öffentlichkeit und Herrschaft im Nationalsozialismus.\nGoebbels war die beherrschende Figur im Bereich der nationalsozialistischen Medien- und Kulturpolitik, und später gelang es ihm, erhebliche Kompetenzen im Bereich der zivilen Kriegführung auf seine Person zu vereinen. In diesen Funktionen war er einer der führenden Nationalsozialisten, die für eine immer radikalere Politik des Regimes eintraten. Sein wichtigstes Lebensziel bestand jedoch darin, sich selbst als genialen Lenker eines allumfassenden Propagandaapparates zu inszenieren, der in der Lage war, die völlige Übereinstimmung von »Volk und Führer« herzustellen. Longerich entzaubert diesen Mythos und zeigt, wie abhängig Goebbels infolge seiner schweren narzisstischen Persönlichkeitsstörung vom permanenten Zuspruch seines vergötterten »Führers« war und wie ihm die selbst geschaffene propagandistische Scheinwelt immer mehr zur Realität wurde. Dass er am Ende des »Dritten Reichs« nicht nur Hitler in den Selbstmord folgte, sondern seine Frau Magda und seine sechs Kinder mit in den Tod riss, erscheint als der konsequente Schlusspunkt eines über zwei Jahrzehnte gewachsenen totalen Abhängigkeitsverhältnisses.
