On 29 September 1981, Peter Turner received a phone call that would change his life. His former lover, Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, had collapsed in a Lancaster hotel & was refusing medical attention. He had no choice but to take her into his chaotic & often eccentric family`s home in Liverpool. Liverpool born & bred, Turner had first set eyes on Grahame when he was a young actor, living in London. Best known for her portrayal of irresistible femme fatales in films such as The Big Heat, Oklahoma & The Bad & the Beautiful, for which she won an Oscar, Grahame electrified audiences with her steely expressions & heavy lidded eyes & the heroines she bought to life were often dark & dangerous. Turner & Grahame became firm friends & remained so ever after their love affair had ended. & it was to him she turned in her final hour of need. Film Stars Don`t Die in Liverpool is an affectionate, moving & wryly humorous memoir of friendship, love & stardom. ...

An airfield was first established at Filton, just north of Bristol, in 1911 after the establishment of the British & Colonial Aeroplane Company. The company & its descendents have used the airfield ever since to develop aviation technology. Filton Airfield has also played host to a military presence, starting with the Royal Flying Corps in 1915, continuing with a Spitfire squadron during the Battle of Britain, & into the jet age with Vampire fighters. In Filton Airfield Through Time, Andrew Appleton uses a wonderful collection of old & new photographs to show us the intriguing past of this key site in British aviation history, from the manufacture of military aircraft during the First & Second World Wars through the servicing of BOAC airliners during the 1950s & the development of Concorde during the 1960s to the present day & the closure of the airfield by BAE Systems. ...

The Holocaust has never been so widely commemorated, but our understanding of the accepted narrative has rarely, if ever, been questioned. David Cesarani`s sweeping reappraisal challenges accepted explanations for the anti-Jewish politics of Nazi Germany & the inevitability of the ` Final Solution`. The persecution of the Jews was not always the Nazis` central preoccupation, nor was it an inevitable process. Cesarani also reveals that in German-occupied countries it unfolded erratically, often due to local initiatives. Ghettos were improvised while the mass shooting of Jews during the invasion of Russia owed as much to the security situation as to anti-semitism. In this new interpretation, war is critical to the Jewish fate. Military failure denied the Germans opportunities to expel Jews into a distant territory & created a crisis of resources that led to starvation of the ghettos & intensified anti-Jewish measures. It was global war that eventually triggered genocide in Europe. Cesarani disputes the iconic role of railways, deportation trains & even Auschwitz, & reveals that plunder was more a cause of anti-Jewish feeling than a consequence of it. Using diaries & reports written in ghettos & camps, he exposes the extent of sexual violence & abuse of Jewish women by the Germans, their collaborators &, shockingly, by Jews themselves. But Cesarani also reveals the courage & ingenuity of those who struggled to evade capture & fought back wherever they could. & unlike previous histories, he follows the Jews` journey to the ` Displaced Persons` camps; camps which have so often been merely a footnote in the story but where Jews languished behind barbed wire for years after `liberation`. This moving & dramatic account captures the fate of the Jews, the horror & the heroism, in their own words. Resting on decades of scholarship it is compelling, authoritative, & profoundly disturbing. ...

David Cesarani`s Final Solution is an intelligent & thought-provoking short history of the Holocaust. Not only does David Cesarani draw together & engage with the latest scholarly research, making extensive use of previously untapped resources such as diaries & letters from within the ghettos & camps (many of them in Polish or Yiddish & therefore previously largely inaccessible to Anglo-American scholars) but by adopting a rigorously Judeocentric approach the whole narrative of the march to genocide & its aftermath the book presents a subtly different timeline which casts afresh the horror of the period & engenders a significant re-evaluation of the how & why. Eschewing some of the more fevered theses about the guilt of the perpetrators (and indeed recasting how wide that net should be spread), David Cesarani`s measured & skilful negotiation of a crowded field is, as a result, all the more devastating. ...
