In 1996, in the middle of watching an ill-tempered football match between England & Germany, Philip Oltermann`s parents tell him that they are going to leave their home city Hamburg behind & move to London. A number of worrying questions arise. How would English schoolboys take to a lanky 16-year-old German? How did they think & do things differently? What was the secret of the famed British humour? & were there values that English & German people shared? In search of answers, Oltermann interweaves memoir & history, taking ten key Anglo-German encounters from the last 200 years as his starting point. These include: an encounter between Joe Strummer & the Baader Meinhof gang, Helmut Kohl trying to explain the virtues of German cuisine to a sceptical Margaret Thatcher & philosophers Theodor Adorno & A. J. Ayer clashing over jazz. What emerges is nothing less than an alternative national story for the two countries: not one marked by military conflict & diplomatic hostility, but one shaped by dialogue, interaction & genuine fondness. ...

Keir Hardie was a founder & the first parliamentary leader of the Labour Party. At the turn of the 19th century he was Labour`s most famous face. But despite being voted Labour`s ` Greatest Hero` at the 2008 Party Conference, in recent years his extraordinary story seems all but forgotten.

He never went to school but was self-taught, avidly reading books lent him by a kind young clergyman. This led to two major conversions in his life: first to Christianity, & then to socialism. While earlier biographies have neglected the former, pointing out his experience of hardship as the source of his passion for social justice, the role of Christianity in Hardie`s life was profound. It shaped his involvement in many of the greatest social changes of the time. ...
