The Flame Of
Resistance - British
History
Book (Paperback)
£4.00 GBP
Books British History Books During WW2, Josephine Baker, the world's richest & most glamorous entertainer, was an Allied spy in Occupied France. This is the story of her heroic personal resistance to Nazi Germany. Prior to World War II, Josephine Baker was a music hall diva renowned for her singing & exotic dancing, her beauty & sexuality; she was the most highly-paid female performer in Europe. When the Nazis seized her adopted city, Paris, she was banned from the stage, along with all 'negroes & Jews'. Yet, instead of returning to America, she vowed to stay & to fight the Nazi evil. Overnight she went from performer to Resistance spy. Damien Lewis uncovers this little-known history of the famous singer's life. During the years of the war, as a member of the French Nurse paratroopers
- a cover for her spying work-- she participated in numerous clandestine activities & emerged as formidable spy. In turn, she was a hero of the three countries in whose name she served: the US, the nation of her birth; France, the land that embraced her during her adult career; & Britain, the country from which she took her orders, as one of London's most closely-guarded special agents. Baker's secret war embodies a tale of unbounded courage, passion, devotion & sacrifice, & of deep & bitter tragedy, fueled by her own desire to combat the rise of Nazism, & to fight for all that is good & right in the world. Drawing on a plethora of new historical material & rigorous research, including previously undisclosed letters & journals, Lewis upends the conventional story of Josephine Baker, revealing that her mark on history went far beyond the confines of the stage.   Product Information:  •†ISBN:† 9781529416763 •†Author: Damien Lewis  •†Publisher:†  Quercus •†Format:†  Paperback •†Pages:† 496 •†Dimensions:† 12.8 x 3.6 x 19.6 cm

The Fix

Addictions to iphones, painkillers, cupcakes, alcohol and sex are taking over our lives. Our most casual daily habits can quickly become obsessions that move beyond our control. Damian Thompson, who has himself struggled with a range of addictions, argues that human desire is in the process of being reshaped. Shunning the concept of addiction as disease, he shows how manufacturers are producing substances like ipads, muffins and computer games that we learn to like too much and supplement tradition addictions to alcohol, drugs and gambling. He argues that addictive behaviour is becoming a substitute for family and work bonds that are being swept away by globalisation and urbanisation. This battle to control addiction will soon overshadow familiar ideological debates about how to
run the economy, and as whole societies set about
