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 a half years, Pilecki forged an underground army within Auschwitz that 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.Illustrated. 505 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

On the surface she was a normal working-class women who held responsible jobs. But Marybeth Tinning barely mentioned her children, and when she did there were no outward signs of sorrow. She would recite their names and birth dates as though she was reading a list, citing a cause of death in each but having nothing more to say about them. There were no affectionate little anecdotes, no spoken memores no sense of tragedy at their loss. They seemed to slip in and out like little wraiths leaving no palable impressions. There were six autopsies and never any sign of abuse. There were whispers and suspicions. But there was no clear or rational explanation. Marybeth said her children cried a lot; they made her feel nervous; they made her feel she was not a good mother. But then another baby died.And no-one understood the silence operating in a community where infants died in a way that seemed too terrible to be true.

The book delves into the dynamics of political power and media influence, exploring how government officials and media entities interacted, sometimes contentiously, during that period.## ## Margach, a seasoned political journalist, provides insights into how government leaders, including Prime Ministers and their advisors, attempted to manage and manipulate public opinion through the media. He discusses specific instances where Downing Street, the epicentre of executive power in the UK, clashed with journalists and broadcasters over the control of information and the narrative presented to the public.## ## The book is significant for its detailed account of the 'war' between politicians and the press, highlighting censorship, freedom of speech, and the ethical responsibilities of government officials and media practitioners. It is a historical case study on the delicate balance between governmental authority and journalistic independence.## ## This work remains relevant today as it underscores enduring questions about media's role in democracy and governance, particularly in an age where technology has transformed how information is disseminated and consumed.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.

It is certainly a city to which the author is deeply devoted, for there has never been a long period in his life when he has been away from it, and this book is the fruit of years of research by him into the peculiarities of the city he loves and knows so well. The result is a guide to Paris that is very unlike anything that has been written in recent years. For the author is principally interested in those aspects of Paris that are unlikey to be known to the average tourist or to be described in the typical guidebook. It is not the facade that interests him, but what went on behind it; so that, when he takes us on a tour down a particular stree, or through a particular neighbourhood, we are reglaed with unsuspected information and anecdotes about its apst, which has the effect of making the Paris we look at today more alive, familiar, and interesting.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good/Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. Foreword by Richard Burton. This book is a full, opinionated, colourful account of the richest years the theatre has known in recent times. Conceived by Sydney Edwards, Art Director of the Evening Standard, to whom the book is dedicated following his sudden death in July 1979, it surveys the past twenty-five years' achievement on the stage as reflected through the Evening Standard Drama Awards - an event which started in 1955. In that year, British theatre took a radical new direction, and the arrival at the Royal Court of John Osbourne's Look Back in Anger in 1956 caused a revolution which was to affect every branch of its activity. This book includes a definitive list of all those who have recieved an Evening Standard Drama Award over the past twenty-five years, and over seventy black and white photographs illustrate the joy these Awards have given. Essential reading for everyone interested in British theatre. Illustrated. Small tear to top corner of D/J.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Reprint. Hardback. Very slight fozing to edge. Every generation produces a small number of remarkable men and women who are remembered not merely for their achievements, but also for themselves. The Duchess of Bedford is one of them. She is a truly unusual woman, and a person to whom everyone seems to react strongly. Universally she inspired love, antipathy, admiration, exasperation - sometimes in the same people, and at the same time. She is a subject upon whom neutrality is impossible This is her own story, irrepressible, outspoken and idiosyncratic. When she married the Duke, her told her that the house cam first, so she threw herself into its development, and to the Duchess must go much of the credit for its present success. There are few readers who will not marvel at her organisational ability. No book has ever been full of amsuing and intriguing anecdotes about the rich, the famous and the ordinary people whom the Duchess has met all over the world, and she is never better than when telling a story about - and often against - herself. She hides nothing, and even those familiar with her exuberant and extrovert style will be surprised at the frankness with which she describes her life, her relationships, her attitudes, and her views (not always discreet) on subjects that interest her. No book about so remakrable a woman could possibly be dull. This particular book is positively fascinating. The Duchess;s warm, human qualities shine forth from every page.
