Jerzy Haszczyński's book "Slaughterhouse number one and other reports from Germany" delves into various aspects of German society, including historical issues, multiculturalism, and the challenges faced by immigrants. Through a series of reports published between 2019 and 2022, the author paints a complex and ambiguous picture of Germany, touching on topics such as the Holocaust, right-wing extremism, and the treatment of guest workers. The book also explores the evolving nature of German citizenship and the societal tensions that arise from conflicting identities and perceptions. [Extracted from the article]

The book "ETA. Terror and Terrorism" is a compilation of academic studies on Basque terrorism. The authors address different aspects related to ETA, such as its relationship with the State during the dictatorship and the transition, its activity during democracy, and far-right violence. The Basque national liberation movement, ETA's victims, and Basque society's response to terrorism are also analyzed. The book seeks to delegitimize terrorist violence and promote a culture of peace and coexistence in the Basque Country. [Extracted from the article]

The monograph belongs to the ASA-CRC Series "Statistical Reasoning in Science and Society", and it is devoted to statistical studies of the terrorism which generally can be defined as the deliberate creation and exploitation of fear through violence or the threat of violence in the pursuit of political change. It states the aim of the book - communicating knowledge on terrorism obtained from the analysis on terrorism data. For example, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) encountered 526 lethal state attacks and 210 lethal non-state terrorist attacks, but the data from GED and GTD differ significantly that make comparisons challenging. Islamic State (ISIS) was the world most active terrorist group in 2017, but over the year its activity declined in different parts of Iraq. [Extracted from the article]

Having tackled the subjects of terrorism, war, and conflict between West and East in much of his prolific, highly-acclaimed literary output - most notably in his 2005 I L'Attentat i , which received the I Prix des librairies i the following year - it is perhaps no surprise that Yasmina Khadra's latest novel comprises a fictionalisation of the terrorist attacks in Paris in 2015. Perhaps the crucial point in the narrative comes towards the end, when the only person for whom Khalil appears to have any remaining affection, his twin sister, becomes a victim of another terrorist attack in central Brussels. Khadra does not disregard the insidious way in which religious leaders prey on the disadvantaged, as Khalil explains how 'le paumé devient ton sosie, le révolté ton frère siamois, les prêches ton exutoire, la violence ta légitimité' (229).
