Churchill Defiant - Fighting On - 1945-1955
Churchill Defiant - Fighting
On - 1945-1955
    New York Times
    bestselling biographer
    Barbara Leaming has
    written a riveting
    political dramaof the
    last ten years of Winston
    Churchill's public life.
    In Churchill Defiant,
    Leaming tells the
    tumultuous
    behind-the-scenes story
    of Churchill's refusal to
    retire after his 1945
    electoral defeat, and
    the bare-knuckled
    political and personal
    battles that ensued. Her
    ground-breaking biography
    Jack Kennedy: The
    Education of a Statesman,
    was the first to detail
    Churchill's extraordinary
    influence on Kennedy's
    thinking. Now in
    Churchill Defiant,
    Leaming gives us a vivid
    and compelling narrative
    that sheds fresh light on
    both the human dimension
    of Winston Churchill and
    on the struggles and
    achievements of his final
    years. At last, in
    Leaming's eloquent
    account, we understand
    the tangled web of
    personal relationships
    and rivalries, the
    intricate interplay of
    past and present, the
    looming sense of history
    that makes the story of
    these years as
    fascinating as anything
    in the extraordinary
    century-long saga of
    Winston Churchill's life.

The President And The Provocateur
The President And The
Provocateur
    Cox explores the parallel
    lives of John F. Kennedy,
    born into wealth and
    celebrity, destined for
    glory and a violent death
    and of Lee Harvey Oswald,
    born into poverty and
    obscurity, murdered in
    police custody and
    convicted, without a
    lawyer or a trial, of
    the killing of JFK. 50
    years after both men were
    murdered, Alex Cox
    provides a chronological
    account of their lives'
    strange intersections,
    their shared interests
    and the increasing
    evidence which suggests
    that Oswald was working
    for a branch of the
    government, most likely
    the FBI or IRS, as an
    agent provocateur.

Deceiving Hitler
Deceiving Hitler
    In the war against
    Hitler, the Allies had
    to use every ounce of
    cunning and trickery that
    they possessed, and
    combining military
    deceptions with the
    double-agent network run
    by the intelligence
    services, they were able
    to send the enemy
    inaccurate and misleading
    information about Allied
    troops, plans and
    operations. From moving
    imaginary armies around
    the desert to putting a
    corpse with fake papers
    floating in the
    Mediterranean, and from
    faking successful bombing
    campaigns to the
    convoluted deceptions
    which kept part of the
    German forces away from
    Normandy prior to D-Day,
    Terry Crowdy explores the
    deception war that
    combined the double-agent
    network with ingenious
    plans to confuse and
    hoodwink the Fuhrer.

The Borgias - Historys Most Notorious Dynasty
The Borgias - Historys Most
Notorious Dynasty
    Details: The Borgias have
    become a byword for
    pride, lust, cruelty,
    avarice, splendour and
    venomous intrigue. An
    inspiration for many
    works of fiction, most
    famously Mario Puzo's The
    Godfather, they have
    aroused abomination and
    fascination in almost
    equal measure, while
    their patronage of the
    arts created some of the
    great masterpieces of the
    Renaissance. From the
    powerful, merciless
    Rodrigo Borgia, better
    known as Pope Alexander
    VI, to the beautiful
    Lucrezia and the
    debauched and murderous
    Cesare, Mary
    Hollingsworth's account
    of the dynasty's dramatic
    rise from its Spanish
    roots to the heights of
    Renaissance society forms
    a compelling tale of
    brutality, incest,
    unparalleled corruption
    and extortionate greed.
    Ideal for: a fantastic
    gift for anyone
    interested in this
    infamous family. This

1848 Year Of Revolution
1848 Year Of Revolution
    Details: In 1848, Europe
    was engulfed in a
    firestorm of revolution.
    The streets of cities
    from Paris to Bucharest
    and from Berlin to
    Palermo were barricaded
    and flooded by armed
    insurgents proclaiming
    political liberties and
    national freedom. The
    conservative order which
    had held sway since the
    fall of Napoleon in 1815
    crumbled beneath the
    revolutionary assault.
    This book narrates the
    breathtaking events which
    overtook Europe in 1848,
    tracing brilliantly their
    course from the
    exhilaration of the
    liberal triumph, through
    the fear of social chaos
    to the final despair of
    defeat and
    disillusionment. The
    failures of 1848 would
    scar European history
    with the contradictions
    of authoritarianism and
    revolution until deep
    into the twentieth
    century. Ideal for:
    History buffs. And people
    with an interest in the
    events that took place
    across Europe from 1848.

VC Heroes - The True Stories Behind Every Vc Winner Since World War Two
VC Heroes - The True Stories
Behind Every Vc Winner Since
World War Two
    Details: For a nation
    with a long and
    proud-military tradition,
    one token stands above
    all others as a mark of
    recognition for the
    ultimate individual feats
    of arms: the Victoria
    Cross. Awarded for one
    reason alone - to mark
    extreme acts of great
    heroism by British and
    Commonwealth servicemen
    in the face of the enemy
    - it is unquestionably
    the hardest club in the
    world to gain entrance
    to. Its holders -
    ordinary soldiers,
    sailors and airmen - are
    linked by an uncommon
    bond of exceptional
    bravery, displayed often
    at great personal risk
    and against impossible
    odds. The VC has been
    awarded only sixteen
    times since the end of
    the Second World War in
    1945. Three of these
    awards were made to
    recipients who had paid
    the ultimate sacrifice
    while demonstrating
    gallantry beyond the call
    of duty. Ideal for:
    anyone who believes in
    our armed forces. A
    honourable tribute to
    brave men. This paperback
    book has 303 pages and
