- & under mysterious circumstances at that
- Poldi will not take it lying down. Perhaps it`s in her blood (her father was a detective chief inspector); perhaps it`s a diverting excuse to spend more time with men in uniform; or perhaps it`s just the promise she makes to Valentino while holding his poor dead h&. But Auntie Poldi`s hunting instincts have never felt more alive. Justice must be served
- if it`s the last thing she does.. .

The British Broadcasting Corporation is a British institution unlike any other, & its story during the Second World War is also our story. This was Britain`s first total war, engaging the whole nation, & the wireless played a crucial role in it. For the first time, news of the conflict reached every living room
- sometimes almost as it happened; & at key moments
- Chamberlain`s announcement of war, the Blitz, the D-Day landings
- the BBC was there, defining how these events would pass into our collective memory. Auntie`s War is a love letter to radio. While these were the years when ` Auntie`
- the BBC`s enduring nickname
- earnt her reputation for bossiness, they were also a period of truly remarkable voices: Churchill`s fighting speeches, de Gaulle`s broadcasts from exile, J. B. Priestley, Ed Murrow, George Orwell, Richard Dimbleby & Vera Lynn. Radio offered an incomparable tool for propaganda; it was how coded messages, both political & personal, were sent across Europe, & it was a means of sending less than truthful information to the enemy. At the same time, eyewitness testimonies gave a voice to everyone, securing the BBC`s reputation as reliable purveyor of the truth. Edward Stourton is a sharp-eyed, wry & affectionate companion on the BBC`s wartime journey, investigating archives, diaries, letters & memoirs to examine what the BBC was & what it stood for. Full of astonishing, little-known incidents, battles with Whitehall warriors & Churchill himself, & with a cast of brilliant characters, Auntie`s War is much more than a portrait of a beloved institution at a critical time. It is also a unique portrayal of the British in wartime & an incomparable insight into why we have the broadcast culture we do today.

The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir is one of the most hated men in Indian history. Widely reviled as a religious fanatic who sought to violently oppress Hindus, he is even blamed by some for setting into motion conflicts that would result in the creation of a separate Muslim state in South Asia. In her lively overview of his life & influence, Audrey Truschke offers a clear-eyed perspective on the public debate over Aurangzeb & makes the case for why his often-maligned legacy deserves to be reassessed. Aurangzeb was arguably the most powerful & wealthiest ruler of his day. His nearly 50-year reign (1658-1707) had a profound influence on the political landscape of early modern India, & his legacy-real & imagined-continues to loom large in India & Pakistan today. Truschke evaluates Aurangzeb not by modern standards but according to the traditions & values of his own time, painting a picture of Aurangzeb as a complex figure whose relationship to Islam was dynamic, strategic, & sometimes contradictory. This book invites students of South Asian history & religion into the world of the Mughal Empire, framing the contemporary debate on Aurangzeb`s impact & legacy in accessible & engaging terms. ...
