The Fateful Year by Mark Bostridge is the story of England in 1914. War with Germany, so often imagined & predicted, finally broke out when people were least prepared for it. Here, among a crowded cast of unforgettable characters, are suffragettes, armed with axes, destroying works of art, schoolchildren going on strike in support of their teachers, & celebrity aviators thrilling spectators by looping the loop. A theatrical diva prepares to shock her audience, while an English poet in the making sets out on a midsummer railway journey that will result in the creation of a poem that remains loved & widely known to this day. With the coming of war, England is beset by rumour & foreboding. There is hysteria about German spies, fears of invasion, while patriotic women hand out white feathers to men who have failed to rush to their country's defence. In the book's final pages, a bomb falls from the air onto British soil for the first time, & people live in expectation of air raids. As 1914 fades out, England is preparing itself for the prospect of a war of long duration. Mark Bostridge won the Gladstone Memorial Prize at Oxford University. His first book Vera Brittain: A Life was shortlisted for the Whitbread Biography Prize, the NCR Non Fiction Award, & the Fawcett Prize. His books also include the bestselling Letters from a Lost Generation; Lives for Sale, a collection of biographers' tales; Because You Died, a selection of Vera Brittain's First World War poetry & prose; & Florence Nightingale: The Woman & her Legend, which was named as a Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2008 & awarded the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography. He is currently consultant on the forthcoming feature film of Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth. ...

An award-winning writer travels the eastern front of Europe, where the push/pull between old empires & new possibilities has never been more evident. Paolo Rumiz traces the path that has twice cut Europe in two-first by the Iron Curtain & then by the artificial scaffolding of the EU-moving through vibrant cities & abandoned villages, some places still gloomy under the ghost of these imposing borders, some that have sought to erase all memory of it & jump with both feet into the West (if only the West would have them). In The Fault Line, he is a sublime & lively guide through these unfamiliar landscapes, piecing together an atlas that has been erased by modern states, delighting in the discovery of communities that were once engulfed by geopolitics then all but forgotten, until now. The farther south he goes, the more he feels he is traveling not along some abandoned Eastern frontier, but right in the middle of things: Mitteleuropa wasn`t to be found in Viennese cafes but much farther east, beyond even Budapest & Warsaw. As in Ukraine, these remain places in flux, where the political & cultural values of the East & West have stared each other down for centuries. Rumiz gives a human face not just to what the Cold War left behind but to the ancient ties of empire & ethnicity that are still at the root of modern politics in flash-point areas such as this. ...

Instead of conceding defeat, his supporters launched a brutal campaign of terror -- Zimbabweans called it, simply, The Fear. Peter Godwin travels, at considerable risk, to see the havoc raging at the heart of his country, but what emerges from the brutality are the heartbreaking tales of resistance & survival, the astonishing moments of humour & goodwill, & the unforgettable characters who will not be subdued. `A beautifully written chronicle of his journey through his ravaged but still achingly beautiful homeland` Independent ` An important book detailing the violent realities, the grotesque injustices, the hunger, the sadness, & a portrait of Mugabe, the tyrant who is the cause of it all` Paul Theroux ...

The Second World War was one of the most catastrophic events in human history. But how did the experience & memory of bloodshed affect our lives? The new order, as it emerged after 1945, saw the end of European empires & the birth of two new superpowers, in a new, global Cold War. Scientists delivered new technologies, politicians fantasized about overhauled societies, some argued for global government, others for independence. It was an era of wonder & terror, & it resonates in the arguments about nationalism, immigration & globalisation that we have today. As well as analyzing the major changes & they myths that emerged, The Fear & the Freedom uses individual stories to show how leaders & ordinary people coped with the post-war world & turned one of the greatest traumas in history into an opportunity for change. This is the definitive exploration of the aftermath of WWII
- & the impact it still has.
