Information on the back cover of the German edition:<\/h2>\n

In 1917, 25-year-old Calabrian engineering and geology student Bruno Mis\u00e8fari deserted from the Italian army. He fled to Switzerland and was granted a residence permit in Zurich. His passionate pacifist and anarchist convictions, his lifelong struggle against the authorities and his frequent imprisonments shaped his life. He met his partner Pia Zanolli in Zurich. Because of an unjustified accusation of involvement in an anarchist bomb attack, he spent seven months in Zurich cantonal prison and was expelled from Switzerland in 1919. Bruno returned to Italy and finished his studies in Naples. Pia followed him and from then on stood by his side without reservation. Mussolini banished him to the island of Ponza because of his political activism. He was released after two years and devoted himself with great zeal to his long-standing project of promoting the economic development of Calabria, which is rich in natural resources, including the construction of a glass factory. His project was thwarted by slander. In 1936, suffering from a brain tumor, Bruno Mis\u00e8fari died in Rome. Twenty-five years later, Pia Zanolli Mis\u00e8fari wrote his biography. In doing so, she also left behind a picture of her own personality and set an example against fascism.<\/p>\n

2008 – I Have a Dream: A Conversation between President George W. Bush and Sheikh Osama bin Laden<\/span><\/h2>\n

Book Description<\/h2>\n

\"\"Framed in a night dream\u2014all is possible in a dream\u2014President George W. Bush and Sheikh Osama bin Laden sit down and talk like two human beings. In their conversation they discover that they have quite a bit in common. At the end they decide to work together to bring justice to the world. The fictitious conversation, structured as if professionally facilitated, advances a possibility, a vision. Its aim is to provoke and to trigger something in the minds of people who grapple with the question: What could we do other than to resort to war, terror, and violence because of ideological differences? How can we construct a new reality-peacefully? The dialogue revolves around one of the most pressing and serious issues of our times. Yet, the material is presented as a satire. The text is addressed to persons interested in politics, conflict management, and peacebuilding. It can well be used as a teaching tool. It will also contribute to many spirited conversations.<\/p>\n
