"1940: Weeks after the evacuation of Dunkirk, Germany is poised to invade a near-defenseless Britain. To safeguard the Crown Jewels from the Nazis, Winston Churchill devises a daring gamble to have them shipped overseas iceless artifacts will be secretly removed from the Tower of London and driven north to Scotland by two operatives posing as a young married couple, to be taken from there to Canada. Caitrin Colline--a Welsh coalminer's daughter and an ardent socialist--will play the wife of Lord Marlton, Hector Neville-Percy. A less likely couple is at first difficult to imagine. Yet Caitrin's bold, streetwise confidence and sharp wits complement Hector's social ease and connections, essential to a second part of their mission: uncovering Nazi sympathizers within the highest ranks of Britain's aristocracy. Battling enemies within and without, Caitrin wonders if anyone in their circle can be trusted--even her partner. And when unexpected events catapult her into a life-or-death chase across the continent, the morale of a nation and the fate of Europe itself in the balance."--

A disturbing account of how Russia is seeking to remake occupied Ukraine in its own image, once and for all.

As a pilot I have great admiration for the early women pioneers: Bessie Coleman, a Black woman who learned to fly in France because it was illegal for her to do so in America; and the WASPs, Women's Airforce Service Pilots, young women who ferried aircraft across the States in WWII. For decades they were forgotten heroes. But not by me. Late 1999 and single mother SCARLETT MITCHELL is struggling to survive in Clanton, a fading West Texas border town, when a mysterious letter changes her life. It says her grandmother, who vanished when Scarlett's mother was a child, flew across the Atlantic in an airforce bomber at the end of WW2. But there is no official record of her or the flight. Scarlett goes to Scotland to unravel the mystery, but it quickly gets more complicated, and more dangerous.

Triumph of the Will? solves one of the 20th century's most baffling mysteries. What transformed Adolf Hitler from a purposeless drifter into a leader able to manipulate the minds of millions? In October 1918 Adolf Hitler, a lance-corporal in the Austrian army, lost his sight following a British gas attack. Doctors diagnosed his blindness as being due not to physical injury but hysteria. He had suffered a mental breakdown.Rather than being treated in a nearby hospital, he was sent 600 miles from the Front to a 'nerve' clinic in the Pomeranian town of Pasewalk. There Dr Edmund Robert Forster, one of Germany's leading hysteria specialists, used hypnosis to treat him. Although his sight was restored, the experience left Hitler convinced he had a divine mission to 'make Germany great again.' He believed, from then on, that every step he took was dictated by a supernatural power.In 1931, Erik Jan Hanussen, a clairvoyant, astrologer, millionaire media tycoon and Nazi supporter, taught him how to hypnotise the masses. Hitler proved himself the greatest hypnotist of them all.This is the extraordinary true story of the lives and deaths of Forster and Hanussen. It details the techniques they used and describes the vital roles played of hypnotism, astrology, clairvoyance and the occult in the Nazis' rise to power.

Politics, Protest, Pandemic is the story of the 2020 year in Australian federal politics, told through a collection of extended essays from the New Politics Australia podcast series. This was one of the most remarkable years in human history and there was an expectation that partisan politics could be put aside in the public interest and while that occurred in the earlier parts of the pandemic, it was back to business as soon as possible: point-scoring, media manipulations, corruption, and outright mistruths told by political leaders who should know better. The year commenced with the remnants of the catastrophic bushfire season still lingering in the air: Prime Minister Scott Morrison was pilloried for his lack of adequate responses at this time but was rescued, politically, through the arrival of the coronavirus. Australia performed remarkably well during this pandemic, but it could have been so much better. Opportunities to reset the economy and Australian society were overlooked, with the government's desire to 'snap-back' to the ways of the world before coronavirus started, even though that's a world that might have disappeared forever. An excellent guide to a dramatic year in Australian politics, providing historical viewpoints and references which enable the reader to navigate a thorough context and understanding of a confusing year.

Centurion Artemus Longinus has finished his assigned duty to crucify three Roman prisoners in Jerusalem. Crucifixions were routine in this Roman Province; however, this execution would not be. Lives will be lost, lives will be changed, and a Secret Brotherhood would be born, The Brotherhood of the Nails. Behind the scenes, lurking in the shadows, a sinister presence seeks the power he believes the execution nails have. The power of the Divine for these nails were used to crucify the Son of God. His sacred blood remained on the nails, thus leading many to believe they had supernatural powers.

Until a modern-day descendant of the centurion, Dr Artemus Long, renowned archeologist from the University of Florida, discovered clues to the locations of the legendary Holy Relics. The three nails of the crucifixion, also known as the ferrum clavorum, had been hidden by the centurion at the instruction of a mysterious slave known as Aratus, a being of Light.Dr. Long's obsession with finding the holy relics was not for fame or professional recognition, but to use the legendary powers of the nails to heal his wife's blindness. Just as the blood from Christ, according to legend, had cured the centurion's ailing eyes as he pierced the side of Jesus, in the same manner the good doctor hoped to cure Sophie's darkness. But the true darkness was not in Sophie, but in Artemus Long's heart, for he had turned from his faith after prayers went unanswered to restore Sophie's eyesight.

As China strengthens its links with its neighbours through its Belt and Road initiative, there is growing interest in the indigenous peoples of China's western and southwestern borderlands. This book, based on extensive original research, considers the indigenous peoples of Yunnan province, which is a major gateway between China and the countries of south and south-east Asia. Unlike many books on China's indigenous peoples which are written by foreigners who have lived for a while in China, this book is comprised of the work of Chinese scholars, many of them members of ethnic minorities themselves, and considers the issues from a Chinese perspective.
