This is a chilling memoir by the head of Hitlers Foreign Intelligence Service. This unique account of Hitlers corrupt regime illuminates more vividly than any other the deepening atmosphere of terror & unreality in which the Nazi leadership lived as the war progressed. Schellenberg recounts with first-hand knowledge the motivations & machinations surrounding the Nazi Armys every move & offers vivid accounts of the countless incidents in which he played a major part including Heydrichs assassination plans to kill Roosevelt & Stalin & an attempt to kidnap the Duke of Windsor. But this remarkable inside account is perhaps most memorable for its riveting portraits of Adolf Hitler & the men whom Schellenberg calls with stunning lack of irony Hitlers willing executioners
- Heydrich Himmler Mueller & Kaltenbrunner.

- the black falcon
- wanders the tribal landscape of Pakistan Iran & Afghanistan. He meets men who fight under different flags & women who risk everything if they break their societys code of honour. Where has he come from & where will fate take him? " Striking. One of the finest collections of short stories to come out of south Asia in decades. Rarely has a writer shown greater empathy for its people or brought such wisdom & knowledge to writing about a terrain largely inaccessible. The power & beauty of these stories are unparalleled in most fiction to come out of south Asia". (" Guardian"). " Astonishing". (" Independent"). " Remarkable. Written in a style that has about it the reverberant clarity of fables but their intention is realist uncovering a largely neglected world & their cumulative effect is deeply moving". (" Sunday Times"). " Its setting alone in the cruel & punishing highlands deserts & rocky altitudes where the borders of Pakistan Afghanistan & Iran meet is worth the price of admission. Here is a book to my knowledge the first in fiction that gives an insiders account of the hard-bitten lives of the scores of tribes collectively known as the Pawindas or foot-people. The result is mesmerising". (" The Times"). " Brilliantly evokes the harshness of nomadic life. Chilling". (" Metro"). Jamil Ahmad was born in Jalandhar in 1933. As a member of the Civil Service of Pakistan he served mainly in the Frontier Province & in Balochistan. He was Political Agent in Quetta Chaghi Khyber & Malakand & later commissioner in Dera Ismail Khan & Swat. He was posted as minister in Pakistans embassy in Kabul at a critical time before & during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 & his last assignment in the government was Chief Secretary Balochistan. He lives in Islamabad with his wife Helga Ahmad."
