An urgent & necessary polemic on the government's assault on our fundamental freedoms & the proliferation of Human Rights. From 42 days detention to ASBOs, as citizens of modern Britain we are seeing some of our fundamental freedoms being pawned off cheaply in the name of security. At the same time, a whole range of novel, & comparatively trivial, rights are being handed out like sweets. Why? In the last 10 years the government has launched an unprecedented assault on our civil liberties. The loss of basic liberties has been replaced by a litany of new rights & the emergence of a new rights culture without any meaningful democratic oversight. This assault, & the parallel proliferation of rights, has warped the moral compass that guided the idea of fundamental rights throughout British history. But in whose name & to what end? In The Assault on Liberty, a radical polemic on the state of the nation, Dominic Raab, Chief of Staff to the Shadow Home Secretary, asks whether we can really defend our freedom by sacrificing it. The risks to Britain are real & likely to grow unless unchecked. Raab argues that the long-term risk is that the current approach will undermine the credibility of, & public support for, the very idea of fundamental rights in this country. He concludes that it is only a modern Bill of Rights that would offer a precious opportunity to review & repair our approach to rights, one of the pillars of our liberal democracy & would place these fundamental liberties in the correct context of the challenges facing Britain & its citizens in the 21st century. ...

As American astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from shy military spouses to American royalty: having tea with Jackie Kennedy, attending high society galas, & being featured on the cover of Life magazine. They quickly grew into fashion icons, donning sherbet-swirled Pucci dresses & lacquering their hair into extravagant rocket styles (to match their husbands' spaceships). Annie Glenn was the envy of the other wives, with her many magazine features; platinum-blonde bombshell Rene Carpenter was proclaimed JFK's favourite; homely Betty Grissom worried her husband was having affairs; Louise Shepard just wanted to be left alone to her card games; & licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived on base with a dirty secret. Together they rallied to form the Astronaut Wives Club, which has now turned into over 40 years of enduring friendship. Sexy & sophisticated, rich in melodrama, & set against the uniquely atmospheric backdrop of the Space Age, THE ASTRONAUTS' WIVES CLUB tells the real story behind some of the biggest heroes in American history, chronicling their romantic, domestic, & public dramas during the Mad Men era. ...
