We Can Take It!
`We Can Take It!' shows that the British remember the war in a peculiar way, thanks to a mix of particular images and evidence. Our memory has been shaped by material which is completely removed from historical reality. These images (including complete inventions) have combined to make a new history. The vision is mostly cosy and suits the way in which the Britons conceive of themselves: dogged, good humoured, occasionally bumbling, unified and enjoying diversity. In fact Britons load their memory towards the early part of the war (Dunkirk, Blitz, Battle of Britain) rather than when we were successful in the air or against Italy and Germany with invasions. This suits our love of being the underdog, fighting against the odds, and being in a crisis. Conversely, the periods of the war during which Britain was in the ascendant are, perversely, far more hazy in the public memory.
Cover-Up
"When New Hampshire's largest Ponzi scheme exploded on the scene in late 2009, Mark Connolly was looking forward to starting his own business. He received some alarming phone calls. The state's bank commissioner had some disturbing news and wanted Connolly's involvement in his agency's looming problem. These puzzling conversations were the first of many in which Connolly began realizing incompetent dealings had been taking place in New Hampshire government regarding a failed mortgage company in Meredith, New Hampshire. Cover-up is a story that blows the whistle on the behind the scenes maneuverings to manage the state's political damage and assign blame about the government's regulatory failures concerning the failed mortgage company. Connolly refused to be part of a government cover-up. His story reveals an inexcusable lack of oversight in financial regulation not only in New Hampshire but in the nation at large. Connolly takes the reader through a remarkable journey, and he tells the story as it unfolded before his eyes ..."--Jacket.

Scion
Fiorello. What is the mystery behind this word, and what is its sinister connection that binds a terrorist hiding in the Middle East, a serial killer in London, and a deranged woman and her American companion on the run in Europe? Fiorello. The genesis of this word began in 1978, when a secret experiment within the confines of the Vatican walls set forth a chain of events that would either validate the tenets of Christian faith . . . or destroy it.
My Cup Upset
In August 2013, comedian Andy Fury decided that he'd spend a season with his best friend Mark, watching the FA Cup in a giant game of winner stays on. They would follow the winner from the Extra Preliminary Round tie between Tow Law Town and West Auckland, then the winner of the next game and so on, all the way to Wembley for the Final. By March 2014 they were threatening to sue each other having endured countless arguments and a 500-mile round trip for a game against Crawley that was abandoned with 15 minutes left.

The Unsung Artistry of George Orwell
In a timely and radically new reappraisal of George Orwell's fiction, Loraine Saunders reads Orwell's novels as tales of successful emancipation rather than as chronicles of failure. Contending that Orwell's novels have been undervalued as works of art, she offers extensive textual analysis to reveal an author who is in far more control of his prose than has been appreciated. Persuasively demonstrating that Orwell's novels of the 1930s such as A Clergyman's Daughter and Keep the Aspidistra Flying are no less important as literature than Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, Saunders argues they have been victims of a critical tradition whose practitioners have misunderstood Orwell's narrativ...
