There is no more haunting, compelling period in Britain`s history than the later middle ages. The extraordinary kings

The fifteenth century saw the crown of England change hands seven times as the great families of England fought to the death for power, majesty & the right to rule. The Hollow Crown completes Dan Jones` epic history of medieval Engl&, & describes how the Plantagenets tore themselves apart to be finally replaced by the Tudors. Some of the greatest heroes & villains in British history were thrown together in these turbulent times: Henry V, whose victory at Agincourt & prudent rule at home marked the high point of the medieval monarchy; Edward IV, who was handed his crown by the scheming soldier Warwick the Kingmaker, before their alliance collapsed into a fight to the death; & the last Plantagenet, Richard III, who stole the throne & murdered his own nephews, the Princes in the Tower. Finally, the Tudors arrived
- but even their rule was only made certain in the 1520s, when Henry VIII ruthlessly hunted down his family`s last remaining enemies. In the midst this tumult, chivalry was reborn, the printing press arrived & the Renaissance began to flourish. With vivid descriptions of the battle of Towton, where 28, 000 men died in a single morning, & the Battle of Bosworth Field, at which Richard III was hacked down, this is the real story behind Shakespeare`s famous history plays.

The Holocaust was the systematic murder of Europe`s Jews by the Nazis & their collaborators during the Second World War. An understanding of the historical circumstances that fed the Holocaust remains the essential means of making sense of the inexplicable crimes that occurred. This commemorative volume describes Jewish life before the spread of Nazism in Europe & Nazi ideologies. The author discusses the mass murder, the death camps such as Auschwitz, the perpetrators, the witnesses, the escapees, the refugee havens & the 10, 000 Kindertransport youngsters who were given safe haven in Britain. We are told stories of the resistance, acts of heroism, survivors & those who risked their lives to save the Jews. Finally, we learn about the liberation of the camps, the resettlement of the Jews & how the events are remembered now. The 15 removable documents included in this book have been carefully selected to take us beyond the horrifying statistics & remind us that each number was a person. They include: letter describing Kristallnacht & a diary extract about life in the ghetto; list of Jews to be transported, including place of departure & destination; & drawings by a child incarcerated at Theresienstadt concentration camp. ...
