Grossman Vasily: Dispatches from the
Frontline

Dispatches from the Frontline

Stalingrad, Treblinka, Berlin - 1941-45

Explores the Kremlin's use of Russian history and media to cement a particular patriotic history into everyday Russian life, using the past to justify its policies, legitimize its rule, and redefine what it means to be 'good' Russian.

Ten Great Writers Translate the Twentieth Century

Kafkaesque

Adolf Hitler's plan to break British morale during the months after the D-Day landings in June 1944 involved the invention and implementation of the world's first rocket delivered warhead - the V1, or 'Doodle Bug' as it was christened by Londoners. Thousands were launched from their sites in the Low Countries against the British capital, killing 6,184 people and injuring 17,981. As the launch sites for the V1 were captured by Allied forces advancing through Belgium and into the Netherlands, a new, more terrifying rocket now hit London in mid-September, seemingly out of thin air - the V2. A streamlined rocket which stood as tall as a four-storey building, the V2 was highly advanced technology. Powered by a rocket engine burning a mix of alcohol-water and liquid oxygen, it blasted its way to the edge of space, before falling back to Earth at supersonic speed. Unlike the successes allied pilots and anti-aircraft crews had enjoyed shooting down the slower and more cumbersome V1, the V2 struck London almost undetected. It truly was Hitler's terror weapon made devastatingly real, causing over 30,000 casualties and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless, with the randomness of the strikes unnerving the British public even though their destructive capacity was less than the Blitz in 1940-41. But Winston Churchill's intelligence chiefs of SOE had known of the weapon weeks before it first struck the mainland as the Nazi boffins (led by Werner Von Braun who would go onto fame with the US Apollo Missions in the 1960s) tested the V2 in Eastern Europe. Away from prying eyes. Or, so they thought. In Stealing Hitler's Rocket, historian Guy Walters will reveal the true extent to how much we knew of this modern-day weapon and the operation by the Polish resistance to enable Britain and her allies to prepare for the day of reckoning.

Stealing Hitler's Rocket

'A crime novel in the sense that TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is a crime novel. One in which a whole community is culpable' Financial Times

Once the Deed Is Done

The Spider Covenant

An extraordinary first-hand account of Russia's descent into totalitarianism, paranoia and madness. Marc Bennetts, Russia correspondent for The Times, moved to Russia in the final years of President Yeltsin's rule - settling in what was then the most exciting new free country in the world after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Thirty years later, The Times pulled him out of Russia over concerns for his security. He is now banned by the Kremlin. His Russian wife and Russian-born daughter, meanwhile, have returned to Moscow, a place he may never be able to go to again. Beginning with the Prodigy's legendary concert in Red Square, which seemed to signal a new era of freedom for the Russian people, and ending with the author narrowly escaping death under Russian fire in Eastern Ukraine, this book is a unique and personal diary of a descent into totalitarianism, from a man whom in his own words, once loved Russia. He witnessed the often-terrifying events in Russia up close, observing how slowly but surely freedoms were stripped away and how the Kremlin's ubiquitous propaganda warped minds and fomented hatred of Putin's foes, both real and imagined. Bennetts meets a vast array of characters, from Russian MPs, Chechnyan rebels, influential Russian Orthodox Church officials and violent Kremlin activists to opposition figures and a Siberian shaman. In this extraordinary panorama of a place gone mad, he shows exactly how a democracy becomes a totalitarian state, as democracies around the world elect strongmen as their leaders. This book shows how easily it can happen.

Witnessing Russia's Spiral into Madness Under Putin

The Descent

This new history reveals that the Baltic States were as fiercely contested between the Germans and Russians as any flashpoint of the Second World War.

Penguin Modern Classics

'A love that cannot be throttled by the rubber tube of an enema bulb is immortal.'Bookish and idealistic Vladimir is tormented with love for Olga; he brings her flowers when other men bring her flour and millet. Olga eventually agrees to marry him, as her building's central heating will be out of service all winter and at least with two in the bed they'll be warmer. When she decides she'd like to serve the revolution, he introduces her to his brother Sergei, a Bolshevik who manages the waterways. Thus begins an excruciating love triangle, measured in ration coupons and black market goods. Described by the poet Joseph Brodsky as 'one of the most innovative novels in Russian literature,' Marienhof's Cynics is a pitch-black comedy set during the wild and savage years of War Communism and the New Economic Policy. Cinematic in its style and collagist in its aesthetic, it establishes Marienhof as a true formal radical. It is a bawdy, savage, lavishly emotional portrayal of working for the revolution (and trying to ignore it).
