Parachuting into Poland, 1944
This firsthand account, never before published in English, details a secret World War II mission in 1944 called Operation Salamander, in which Tadeusz Chciuk (writing as Marek Celt) parachuted into German-occupied Poland with the enigmatic political adviser Dr. Jozef Retinger. The goal of the mission was to persuade the Polish underground forces and political leadership to accept that it was imperative to start negotiating with the Soviets right away, as they were now to be considered Poland's allies and had the full support of the British and Americans. The story culminates in Operation Wildhorn III, in which Chciuk and Retinger were picked up in Poland by a British plane that landed just a short distance from a significant detachment of German forces, and flew them to safety.
The Pet Thief
The Pet Thief is a dystopian fable of science, rebellion, humankind's inhumanity, and the struggle for identity and survival in a post-human world.
War and Diplomacy in East and West
The New York Times said of Józef Hieronim Retinger that he was on intimate terms with most leading statesmen of the Western World, including presidents of the United States. He has been repeatedly acknowledged as one of the principle architects of the movement for European unity after the World War II, and one of the outstanding creative political influences of the post war period. He has also been credited with being the dark master behind the so-called "Bilderberg Group," described variously as an organization of idealistic internationalists, and a malevolent global conspiracy. Before that, Retinger involved himself in intelligence activities during World War II and, given the covert and semi-covert nature of many of his activities, it is little wonder that no biography has appeared about him. This book draws on a broad range of international archives to rectify that.
The Bilderbergers - Puppet-Masters of Power?
Since 1954, a discrete and select group of wealthy and powerful individuals have attended a private, yearly conference to discuss matters of their choosing. This group represents European and North American elites, as well as new talent and rising stars, from the worlds of politics, business, media, academia, the military and even royalty, and has included household names such as Margaret Thatcher, Henry Kissinger and even Prince Philip. In recent years their number have featured David Cameron, Tony Blair, Angela Merkel, Bill Clinton and David Rockefeller. These are ‘the Bilderbergers’, named after the hotel where their secret gatherings were first hosted. What is their purpose, why do t...
A Rebel in Auschwitz: The True Story of the Resistance Hero who Fought the Nazis from Inside the Camp (Scholastic Focus)
With exclusive access to previously hidden diaries, family and camp survivor accounts, and recently declassified files, critically acclaimed and award-winning journalist Jack Fairweather brilliantly portrays the remarkable man who volunteered to face the unknown in the name of truth and country. This extraordinary and eye-opening account of the Holocaust invites us all to bear witness. Occupied Warsaw, Summer 1940: Witold Pilecki, a Polish underground operative, accepted a mission to uncover the fate of thousands interned at a new concentration camp, report on Nazi crimes, raise a secret army, and stage an uprising. The name of the camp -- Auschwitz. Over the next two and half years, and under the cruelest of conditions, Pilecki's underground sabotaged facilities, assassinated Nazi officers, and gathered evidence of terrifying abuse and mass murder. But as he pieced together the horrifying Nazi plans to exterminate Europe's Jews, Pilecki realized he would have to risk his men, his life, and his family to warn the West before all was lost. To do so meant attempting the impossible -- but first he would have to escape from Auschwitz itself...

Dobrovolník
Rok: 1940. Cíl mise: Infiltrovat koncentrační tábor Osvětim. Ač to zní neuvěřitelně, toto je skutečný příběh Witolda Pileckého, polozapomenutého hrdiny druhé světové války, který se nechal dobrovolně uvěznit v táboře smrti. Více než dva roky shromažďoval informace o nacistických zločinech, aby nakonec uprchl a zúčastnil se Varšavského povstání. Jeho životní osudy jsou strhující oslavou lidské odvahy a odhodlání bojovat i v těch nejtemnějších časech.
Frivillig i Auschwitz : en sann historia
Den polske motståndsmannen Witold Pilecki infiltrerade Auschwitz för att berätta för världen om vad som skedde innanför lägrets murar. Men han kunde inte ana de fasor som mötte honom. Vad får en man att frivilligt låta sig deporteras till nazisternas mest ökända förintelseläger? Frivillig i Auschwitz är den osannolika berättelsen om en av andra världskrigets okända hjältar. En man som mot alla odds lyckades skapa en underjordisk armé inne i lägret, och smuggla ut information om nazisternas illgärningar till de allierade. Tyvärr lyssnade inte omvärlden förrän det var försent. Journalisten och krigskorrespondenten Jack Fairweather har skrivit en grundlig, skakande och ohyggligt spännande berättelse om mänskligt mod som går utöver det vanliga. Vinnare av Costa Book of the Year 2019.
