Este livro é um dos mais extraordinários relatos sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Um trabalho de reconstituição histórica impecável e empolgante que descreve detalhadamente a atmosfera, a movimentação, os dramas e os personagens que protagonizaram a grande epopeia da luta pela libertação de Paris. Escrita originalmente na década de 1960 e tendo vendido mais de 20 milhões de exemplares em todo o mundo, esta é uma leitura de tirar o fôlego, que se baseia em depoimentos vívidos de sobreviventes e protagonistas da batalha de Paris, tanto do lado aliado como do lado alemão.

Describe los días y, muy detalladamente, las horas que precedieron a la liberación de París durante la segunda guerra mundial.

Bruciare la città-mondo, la capitale del ventesimo secolo. La città della Senna, dei boulevard e di Notre-Dame, del Louvre e della torre Eiffel. Bruciare Parigi. «Bruciate Parigi!» ordina Hitler nella fase conclusiva della Seconda guerra mondiale. Ma l''ordine non venne eseguito e Parigi fu salva. Chi la salvò dalla distruzione? De Gaulle? O il generale von Choltitz? Il comunista Rol o il console svedese Nordling? Come si arrivò al 25 agosto 1944, giorno in cui la città venne liberata dagli Alleati? Attraverso carte segrete ritrovate negli archivi tedeschi, documenti dell''epoca, ordinanze, verbali e ricordi dei testimoni, Dominique Lapierre e Larry Collins scrivono un drammatico romanzocronaca – da cui verrà tratto l''omonimo film di René Clement – mettendo in scena eroi e traditori, giovani e vecchi, spie e ostaggi. Sono i protagonisti dell''epopea della città, dall''incubo della distruzione totale alle battaglie per le strade, fino alla liberazione.

All''inizio degli anni settanta Dominique Lapierre e Larry Collins attraversano il continente indiano per raccogliere interviste con testimoni, registrare vicende strabilianti, comporre la trama di un potente racconto corale: quello del popolo indiano in cammino verso la propria indipendenza. Dalla nomina di Lord Mountbatten a viceré delle Indie, il 1° gennaio 1947, all''assassinio di Gandhi, il 30 gennaio 1948, Stanotte la libertà ripercorre i tredici mesi che cambiarono per sempre il volto dell''Impero britannico e il destino di quattrocento milioni di indiani. Un viaggio serrato e appassionante tra i segreti di una terra incantevole, le miserie e gli splendori del suo popolo, il coraggio e la fede degli uomini che aprirono la via alla libertà. Su tutti, s''irradia la figura del Mahatma Gandhi, la Grande anima, il profeta dal fascino tuttora inesauribile. Quel viaggio segnerà la vita di Dominique Lapierre, che da allora, preso d''amore per la sua India, vi ritornerà per infiniti viaggi, memorabili incontri,nobili slanci umanitari.

When Iran''s deadly nuclear game is revealed, CIA agent Frank Williams realizes there is only one man made for the job of traveling to the other side of the world to neutralize this threat—his disgraced former partner, agent Jim Duffy. Williams travels to Duffy''s quiet Maine hideaway and presents the facts of the case: The world''s largest heroin dealers have carved a path straight to America''s doorsteps and may possess six of the deadliest weapons known to man. Duffy doesn''t want to yield to the Agency that rudely cast him aside. But a sense of duty and a love of country will not let him stand by, idle. Not since The Manchurian Candidate has the thriller so closely walked the line between fact and fiction, as readers try to ascertain if this is really happening? Are we on the brink of our planet''s final conflict?

Secrets and spies... Years of preparation led to the Allied Invasion of French soil on June 6, 1944. In the greatest amphibious assault ever launched, more than 150,000 American, Canadian, and British troops penetrated German defenses by air and by sea in an ingenious surprise attack that marked a critical turning point in World War II. The complex logistics of D-Day — landing troops and tanks on the beaches of Normandy while German leaders expected an attack further up the coast — were made possible by a brilliant campaign of disinformation and misdirection. Without this counter-intelligence the Allies most likely would have crossed the Channel to meet the German Wehrmacht in all its might. That the Germans never knew what hit them says much for the spider’s web of deceit carefully planted by the English. In his final work, bestselling author Larry Collins reveals the secrets of D-Day in a step-by-step unraveling of code names, unlikely connections, serendipitous discoveries, and cold-blooded calculations. Though it reads like a thriller, this fascinating tale of unflinching bravery and outright chutzpah is all true.
