International Trust Disputes
The number of disputes involving trusts has risen significantly in recent years. Many disputes take place in the international environment and cross-border jurisdictional issues may arise. These disputes often involve large sums of money, impacting significantly on family relations. The handling of such disputes requires specialist skills and knowledge, including an understanding of how and why private trusts are established and administered and the problems that can arise; an awareness of the cross-jurisdictional issues that may be relevant; and the ability to identify practical legal solutions to the dispute that are compliant with trust principles. International Trust Disputes provides a comprehensive and thorough treatment of this topic. Acting as a specialist guide for practitioners, it offers a survey of the special considerations that may arise with regard to trust disputes as well as a definitive guide to the issues which may be encountered in the jurisdictions where disputes are most likely to take place.

Assisted Passage
Ian English was a gallant officer of the 8th Battalion, Durham Light Infanry, winning an MC and Bar in the desert war after fighting in France in 1940. He was taken prisoner by the Germans after the battle of Mareth in March 1943. This book recounts his experiences after escaping from a Prisoner of War camp in Italy in the chaos that followed Italy's capitulation and the subsequent German occupation of the north and centre of the country in September 1943. Along with many other Allied officers, English took advantage of the chaos to escape from captivity, and, as his sub-title modestly puts it to 'walk to freedom'. He admits that he owed that freedom to the help and hospitality of many ordinary Italians who aided him along his way. This is an exciting narrative of escape and evasion that should appeal to anyone interested in escape literature.
An Extraordinary Italian Imprisonment
This WWII history reveals the shocking conditions and brutal treatment endured by Allied soldiers at a notorious Italian POW camp. Between August 1942 and September 1943, Camp PG21 in Chieti, Italy, was grossly overcrowded, with little running water, no proper sanitation, and no winter heating. Conditions for POWs were so bad that they were debated in the House of Commons. Tunnels were dug, and the prisoners were even prepared to swim through human sewage to try and get out. But those who attempted escape were violently punished or killed. Even still, morale in the camp remained remarkably high. Two England cricket internationals staged a full-scale cricket match. Theater and music also thrived. After the 1943 Italian Armistice, the British Commander refused to allow the ex-prisoners to leave camp. Germans took over the camp, and most prisoners were transported to Germany. Some managed to hide, and more than half of these subsequently escaped. After the war, a number of the Camp staff were arrested for war crimes.

In the forty-year period between 1951 and 1991, Canadian sports car competition underwent a massive change, transforming itself from an amateur recreational pastime to a commercialized profession and from an individual sport to a spectacle for mass consumption.
