Charles Bedaux - Deciphering an Enigma
This intriguing chronicle follows the life of Charles Bedaux, a self-made man who played an important but little known behind-the-scenes role during the most tumultuous years of the 20th century. Although his first job was as an apprentice pimp in the streets of Paris, Bedaux always thought big. He built the worlds leading consulting firm of his time, allowing him access to the highest levels of government and society. He was a friend of the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson, even hosting their wedding at his private chateau in France. However, his penchant for deceit and his activities for the Third Reich led to his ultimate demise as he was about to launch his most ambitious project the conquest of the Sahara. You will be fascinated and perhaps frightened by the events and people Charles Bedaux was able to influence during his lifetime.
Churchill's German Spy
Compared to many of MI5's other double agents, HARLEQUIN’s career was very short-lived, lasting only for a few months in 1943. However, during that time he provided insights into the various parties involved in the Appeasement process in 1938; the Czech crisis of 1939; the enterprises of a Franco-American businessman who hosted the Duke and Duchess of Windsor’s marriage in France; the espionage activities of an aristocratic German family; Admiral Canaris, the head of the Abwehr – many of the Abwehr’s personalities with whom he had come into contact or had known about and the agents he employed – as well as relations between the disparate organisations of the German intelligence ser...
Hitler's Brandenburgers
‘A fitting tribute to Germany's clandestine warriors, and a guarantee that their extraordinary efforts have not been relegated to comparative obscurity or entirely forgotten’ - David R Higgins. Hitler's daring and pioneering Brandenburgers special forces served in every German theatre of action. This is the most comprehensive account of an unusual and profoundly successful band of men. Lawrence Paterson traces the origins of the small unit, before the outbreak of war in 1939, as the brainchild of Admiral Canaris and part of his Abwehr intelligence unit through through to its breaking up in 1944 when it was largely converted to a, conventional Panzergrenadier division. At that point, many...

Shadows Of War
October, 1939: War has been declared, but until the armies massed on either side of the French–German border engage, all is quiet on the Western Front. There are those who believe the war no one wants to fight should be brought to a swift conclusion, even if it means treachery. A year ago, Conrad de Lancey came within seconds of assassinating Hitler. Now the British Secret Service want him to go back into Europe and make contact with a group of German officers they believe are plotting a coup. But this is the Shadow War, and the shadows are multiplying: it's not only disaffected Germans who are prepared to betray their country to save it...
The Sunshine Economy
Before the Civil War, Florida's population hovered around 200,000. Over the next century, it increased dramatically, rising to just under three million by 1950. During the next fifty years, however, it exploded, increasing more than 500 percent to almost sixteen million. By the end of the twentieth century, the state had one of the nation's largest economies. The Sunshine Economy traces the development of the industries that spurred this major growth. It describes how Florida progressed from being one of the least populated states in the country, with an economy based on forestry products and open-range cattle farming, to the fourth most populated state, with an economy based on sunshine, to...
Zrazená koruna
Andrew Morton vypráví příběh bezohledného Edwarda VIII., později vévody z Windsoru, a jeho americké manželky Wallis Simpsonové. Příběh o bizarním nacistickém spiknutí, které z něj po invazi do Británie udělalo loutkového krále, a o tom, jak se Churchill, generál Eisenhower a král Jiří VI. snažili utajit vévodovy vztahy s Hitlerem. Od údajné aféry mezi Wallis a německým ministrem zahraničních věcí až po objevení přísně tajné korespondence skrývající informace o nacistickém vrchním velení a muži přezdívaném „král zrádců“ - autor přichází s vyprávěním o intrikách, zradách a podvodech okořeněných milostnými románky a všudypřítomným pocitem podezření.
