This book describes the background to and the development of the Nazi Party Rallies held at Nuremberg each September from 1933 to 1939. These Reichsparteitage (National Party Days) were vast and meticulously staged managed extravaganzas in which ritual and ceremony played an important part.The Rallies had two key objectives. The first was to focus public attention on the successes of the Nazi Party and connect with the public conscience and build a close bond between Party and people.Even more important was the Rallies role in presenting Adolf Hitler as the saviour of the German nation sent to restore national pride, power and prosperity after the shame and economic disaster of the post war years and the deeply resented Versailles Treaty. The Hitler Cult was blatantly promoted with revolutionary use of propaganda by the latest technology and iron control of the media.Using the authors superb collection of postcards and images, The Nazis Nuremberg Rallies takes the reader on a visual journey through each years Reichsparteitage. A truly fascinating way to understand this uniquely successful and threatening phenomena.

Alex Kelly He is the star of a popular extreme travel show to the rest of the world, but to me, he is the persistent one.It all began with a regular high school crush that wasn't wholly unrequited on the older brother of my best friend.Just after high school, there was that incident where someone (not me) may or may not have thrown up all over someone else's c*ck. Then there was the event in Austin, which, let's just say, gave the word "bull-riding" a whole new meaning. Not to mention the minor issue with the rented car...

Lord Denning was the most famous English judge of the twentieth century. Arguably, he was the most famous of any century. His judgments were legendary for both their style and substance. The style was instantly recognisable, with his short sentences and unique method of storytelling. The substance was always less about law and more about justice, as Denning looked for the fairest outcome to every case before him.Over time, Denning¿s views on justice and his manipulation of precedent became increasingly controversial. As society changed around him, headhered rigidly to the Edwardian morality of his childhood. His report on the Profumo Affair ¿ the most sensational political scandal of post-war Britain ¿ was dismissed by some as an `establishment whitewash¿. His rulings in trade union disputes earned him many critics, while his dismissal of the appeal of the `Birmingham Six¿ falsely convicted of a terrorist atrocity became notorious when a gross miscarriage of justice was later uncovered. Yet enough goodwill remained for him to be called after his death `the best-known and best-loved judge in the whole of our history¿ by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Bingham. For all his controversies, there is no question that Denning led an extraordinary life. Born into a family of modest means in a small Hampshire town in 1899, he went on to gain two firsts from Oxford and a commission in the First World War, before becoming a successful barrister and serving almost 40 years as a senior judge. This book looks at that remarkable life story as well as assessing Denning¿s legacy, showing how he continues to influence, inspire and occasionally infuriate.
