This is the personal account of a Luftwaffe aide always at Hitler s side from 1937 until the last days in Berlin now published for the first time in English. Nicolaus von Below was a 29-year-old pilot when Goering selected him for the position of Hitler s Luftwaffe adjutant. He was with Hitler at every stage as the Second World War unfolded. His observations tell of Hitler s responses to momentous events as well as military decisions & policy-making at Fuhrer Headquarters. This is a superb source describing life in Hitler s inner circle relied upon on by Gitta Sereny in her biography of Albert Speer. He provides fascinating insight into how Hitler planned the invasions of Poland & Russia what he thought of Britain & America why he placed his faith in the V-1 & V-2 projects how others dealt with him & much more. Von Below was present at the assassination attempt in July 1944 & records the effect on Hitler & his followers. Von Below was the last of Hitler s close military entourage to emerge from the bunker alive. His frank memoir will appeal to anyone interested in how Hitler ran his war.

In At Home" Bill Bryson applies the same irrepressible curiosity irresistible wit stylish prose & masterful storytelling that made "A Short History of Nearly Everything" one of the most lauded books of the last decade & delivers one of the most entertaining & illuminating books ever written about the history of the way we live. Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles & wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business
- eating sleeping & merely endeavouring to get more comfortable. & that most of the key discoveries for humankind can be found in the very fabric of the houses in which we live. This inspired him to start a journey around his own house an old rectory in Norfolk wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in life came to be. Along the way he did a prodigious amount of research on the history of anything & everything from architecture to electricity from food preservation to epidemics from the spice trade to the Eiffel Tower from crinolines to toilets; & on the brilliant creative & often eccentric minds behind them. & he discovered that although there may seem to be nothing as unremarkable as our domestic lives there is a huge amount of history interest & excitement
- & even a little danger
- lurking in the corners of every home. This is an abridged version & read by the author."
