Paperback. Condizione: New. "GRIPPING AND AUTHORITATIVE" Kate MooreOctober, 1938. Germany is poised to take over part of Czechoslovakia and thousands of terrified refugees have fled to Prague. A mix of Jews and political opponents of the Nazis, they will be killed if they do not leave the country.The city is soon overwhelmed with people who have no way out and nowhere else to go. With winter drawing in and supplies scarce, the situation is dire.Doreen Warriner, a British academic studying in Prague, decides she must help. She rallies a group of women and they begin an underground evacuation operation of such astonishing efficiency that over the next ten months they help 15,000 people escape the Nazis and are only forced to stop when World War II breaks out in September 1939.At the height of her work, Warriner becomes the Gestapo's most urgent target and has to flee the country to save her own life. An American, Martha Sharp, takes over leadership of the group for the final months in a desperate and often tragic race against time.Drawing on previously unpublished diaries, letters and interviews, Angels of Prague is an intimate and gripping account of an extraordinary true story. It is the powerful tale of a group of courageous women who stood tall in the face of unthinkable danger and deserve to be remembered.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. James Bond is possibly the most well known fictional character in history. What most people don't know is that almost all of the characters, plots and gadgets come from the real life experiences of Bond's creator - Commander Ian Fleming. In this book, we go through the plots of Fleming's novels explaining the real life experiences that inspired them. The reader is taken on a journey through Fleming's direct involvement in World War II intelligence and how this translated through his typewriter into James Bond's world, as well as the many other factors of Fleming's life which were also taken as inspiration. Most notably, the friends who Fleming kept, among whom were Noel Coward and Randolph Churchill and the influential people he would mingle with, British Prime Ministers and American Presidents. Bond is known for his exotic travel, most notably to the island of Jamaica, where Fleming spent much of his life. The desk in his Caribbean house, Goldeneye, was also where his life experiences would be put onto paper in the guise of James Bond. As the island was highly influential for Fleming, it features heavily in this book, offering an element of escapism to the reader, with tales of a clear blue sea, Caribbean climate and island socialising. Ian Fleming might have died prematurely aged 53, but so much of him lives on to this day through the most famous spy in the world, James Bond. AUTHOR: Edward Abel Smith published his first book, Active Goodness, in 2017 through Kwill Publishing. The book followed the remarkable and relatively unknown true story of Doreen Warriner, Trevor Chadwick and Nicholas Winton's quest to save over 7,000 political and Jewish refugees from the advancing Nazis in Prague. The profits from the book go to Young Roots, a refugee charity focused on supporting juvenile people in the United Kingdom. 32 b/w illustrations In this book, we go through the plots of Fleming's novels explaining the real life experiences that inspired them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
