"From the Rif War to the rebellion of 1958, the Berbers (Imazighen) have played a central role in the history of Moroccan resistance to colonialism in the twentieth century. This book provides an in-depth overview of Berber resistance to the French campaigns of 'Pacification', and the subsequent struggle over Berber identity in the independence era. Deeply steeped in Berber history and culture, the author traces the major and minor engagements between French forces and the Berbers in revealing detail, using previously unavailable sources. Relying on a wealth of oral sources and extensive field work, it provides the most complete history to date of one of the most important Berber communities in North Africa."--

Postum erschienenes Abschiedsbuch des freien Autors von elf brisanten Büchern, Filmemachers und begnadeten Journalisten, dessen Bücher über seinen Vater Walter Jens besonders viel Aufmerksamkeit erhielten. Am 29.07.20 schied er mit einer Mischung aus Alkohol und lange gehorteten Tabletten mit 66 Jahren aus dem Leben. Ehrlich, selbstkritisch und kompromisslos setzt er sich darin mit sich selbst auseinander und bekennt sich erneut zu seiner These, dass die Entscheidung über den eigenen Tod Privatsache des Sterbenden sei. 1998 erhielt er die Diagnose Diabetes Typ 2, verursacht durch seine berufsbedingte stressige Lebensweise, wenig Sport und unmäi︣ges Essen. Er liebte seinen Beruf über alles, bezog daraus seine Selbstbestätigung, lehnte es ab, zum Kontrolleur seiner selbst zu werden. Zuletzt konnte er kaum noch laufen, litt an unsäglichen Schmerzen und finanziellen Problemen. Das letzte Kapitel wurde von seinem Freund Heribert Schwan vollendet. Mitreissend zu lesen; ganz und gar authentisch. Ergänzend zu seinem Buch "Du sollst sterben dürfen". (2)

"An intimate portrait of Charles Sobrhaj--one of the world's greatest conmen and most notorious serial killers, and the subject of THE SERPENT, a new series on Netflix. Charles Sobhraj remains one of the world's great conmen, and as a serial killer, the story of his life and capture endures as legend. Born in Vietnam to a Vietnamese mother and Indian father, Sobhraj grew up deprived of a sense of identity, moving to France before being imprisoned and stripped of his multiple nationalities. Driven to floating from country to country, continent to continent, he became the consummate con artist, stealing passports, smuggling drugs and guns across Asia, busting out of prisons and robbing wealthy associates. But as his situation grew more perilous, he turned to murder, preying on Western tourists dropping out across the 1970s "hippie trail," leaving dead bodies and gruesome crime scenes in his wake, triggering an international manhunt that put him at the top of INTERPOL's most wanted list. On the Trail of the Serpent draws its readers into the story of Sobhraj's life as told exclusively to journalists Richard Neville and Julie Clarke by the investigators, families of the victims, and even Sobhraj himself. Blurring the boundaries between true crime and novelization, this remains the definitive book about Sobhraj--a riveting tale of sex, drugs, adventure, and murder"--
