At the end of the Second World War some of the highest ranking members of the Nazi party escaped from justice. Some of them are names that have resonated deeply in twentieth-century history
- Eichmann Mengele Martin Bormann & Klaus Barbie
- not just for the monstrosity of their crimes but also because of the shadowy nature of their post-war existence holed up in the depths of Latin America always one step ahead of their pursuers. The nature of their escape was as gripping as any good thriller. They were aided & abetted by corrupt Catholic priests in the Vatican they travelled down secret rat lines hid in foreboding castles high in the Austrian alps & were taken in by shady Argentine secret agents. The attempts to bring them to justice are no less dramatic with vengeful Holocaust survivors inept politicians & daring plots to kidnap or assassinate the fugitives. Guy Walters has travelled the world in pursuit of the real account of how the Nazis escaped at the end of the war the attempts sometimes successful to bring them to justice & what really happened to those that got away. He has interviewed Nazi hunters former members of Mossad & poured through archives across the globe to bring this remarkable period of our recent history to dramatic & vivid life.

In the summer of 1940 the fate of Europe hung in the balance. Victory in the forthcoming air battle would mean national survival; defeat would establish German tyranny.

The Hurricane made up over half of Fighter Commands front-line strength & its revolutionary design transformed the RAFs capabilities. Leo Mc Kinstry tells the story of the remarkable plane from its designers to the first-hand testimonies of those brave pilots who flew it; he takes in the full military & political background but always keeps the human stories to the fore

Hunting The Dark Knight

Publishing alongside the world premiere of Christopher Nolans third Batman film The Dark Knight Rises" Will Brookers new book explores Batmans twenty-first century incarnations. Brookers close analysis of "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" offers a rigorous accessible account of the complex relationship between popular films audiences and producers in our age of media convergence. By exploring themes of authorship adaptation and intertextuality he addresses a myriad of questions raised by these films: did "Batman Begins" end when "The Dark Knight began? Does its story include the Gotham Knight DVD or the Why So Serious viral marketing campaign? Is it separate from the parallel narratives of the Arkham Asylum videogame the monthly comic books the
animated series and the graphic novels? Can the brightly campy incarnations of the Batman ever be fully repressed by "The Dark Knight" or are they an intrinsic part of the character? Do all of these various manifestations feed into a single Batman metanarrative? This will be a vital text for film students and academics as well as legions of Batman fans."
