Walters G: Stealing Hitler's Rocket / LF

Stealing Hitler's Rocket

The Incredible Mission to Smuggle a V-2 Rocket out of Nazi-Occupied Europe to Britain

A thousand years ago, the Knights of the Round Table made an oath to protect the realm forevermore. It's safe to say they didn't think it all the way through. Now Britain is embroiled in the Second World War, and the knights are still fighting the enemies of the realm. They're also fighting each other - Kay and Lancelot haven't spoken since Agincourt, and everyone wishes Agravain would stop speaking entirely. Isolde - known in myth and legend for her tragic romance with the knight Tristan - is fed up of her tragic reputation. In a time when women have more freedom than ever before, she's determined to strike out on her own. But when she discovers old enemies working alongside the Nazis, she realises she can't fight all of them by herself. It might be time to get the old band back together . . . From the Sunday Times bestselling Thomas D. Lee comes this sharp and witty caper, asking what happens when knights in armour return to fix the problems of a more modern world . . .

Compulsively readable and sharply witty fantasy from a Sunday Times bestseller

The Knight Watch

WINNER of 75th Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award: Biography Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize 2026'FIVE STARS ... Magnificent' Telegraph 'Compulsively readable' Financial Times 'Gripping and timely' The Times 'Crackingly told' Philippe Sands 'A kind of masterclass' Sebastian JungerTHE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE VOLUNTEERThe true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past.At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten.In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him.In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth.

Palgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics

This book reassesses classic Marxist theories of finance capital and uneven development in the context of the present intensified process of financialization and the accentuation of combined and accelerating uneven development. In particular, the work of Hilferding and Luxemburg is discussed and re-framed in light of both the contributions of Marx and more recent engagements by David Harvey and Neil Smith. The book explores the case of South Africa in particular in light of the combination of a rapidly financializing yet crisis-ridden South African political economy on the one hand and intensifying social inequality and political conflict on the other.&nbsp;It explores a series of strategies and possibilities that might open up trajectories for change and transformation with particular attention paid to the promises and constraints of the de-growth movement and intersectional class struggle, which will appeal to political economists, researchers, and students alongside those studying South Africa specifically.

Extreme Uneven Development

Wien, Ende 1938: Für die junge Schriftstellerin Gerty Kelemen ist klar, dass sie als Jüdin nicht länger sicher ist. Auf der Flucht trifft sie den Ölhändler Mau Hanemann, verliebt sich und zieht mit ihm nach Amsterdam. In den Niederlanden sind die beiden Außenseiter - Teil eines seit Jahrzehnten wachsenden Stroms meist unerwünschter jüdischer Migranten aus dem Osten. Die dramatische Lebensgeschichte von Mau und Gerty führt von den osteuropäischen Schtetl bis nach Tel Aviv, über London und Paris und über das Lager Westerbork bis nach Bergen-Belsen. Im Angesicht des Todes hält ein einziger Wunsch Mau und Gerty am Leben: ihre kleine Tochter wiederzusehen, die sie zu deren Schutz weggegeben haben.

The author of the internationally successful book From Zero to Millionaire is back with a book on the best ways to invest in the stock market. Stop treating the stock market like a casino - discover the proven, stress-free strategy that builds lasting wealth. In The Art of Multiplying Your Money, financial journalist and bestselling author Nicolas Bérubé uses rigorous academic research and real-world historical data to dismantle the myth that successful investing requires picking winning stocks, timing the market, or chasing hot tech trends. Instead, he reveals how anyone can achieve exceptional long-term wealth, whether you have $100 or $100 million to invest. Across 17 engaging lessons, this book answers the most pressing questions investors face today. By the time you've finished this book, you'll know the answers to the following questions: - Will the stock market always keep rising? How do you survive if it crashes? - How much can you withdraw from your investments each year to live on? - Is the concentration of the U.S. market in a handful of tech stocks cause for concern? Crucially, the book focuses on the greatest risk of all: human psychology. By highlighting the cognitive biases that lead investors to panic and sabotage their own portfolios, Bérubé teaches readers how to automate their success, providing a comprehensive roadmap to financial independence. Whether you have $100 or $100 million, this is the ultimate guide to passive investing and behavioural finance so you can learn how to ignore the financial noise and let the global market multiply your money whilst you sleep.

The Art of Multiplying Your Money

A haunting apocalyptic adventure, and a formidable exploration of what it means to be human in a shifting world, from "one of the very great writers alive today." (China Miéville) Phillip Tennent makes his living at the tideline, collecting artefacts that wash up from the Channel. It's been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, an entire continent has been mislaid. It feels like the end. Now Phillip has fished out of the water an object he can't keep. A creature that keeps changing. An artefact he must take inland, before it destroys everything he thinks he knows. The End of Everything is a slyly satirical and unsettling post-apocalyptic adventure into the limits of human understanding, from the peerless master of contemporary fiction.

When Machines Act

Der 1920 geborene Günter Leifheit war in der frühen Bundesrepublik ein erfolgreicher Unternehmer und Hersteller von Haushaltsgeräten wie Wäscheständern und Teppichkehrern. Erst relativ spät erfuhr die Öffentlichkeit, dass sich der aus kleinbürgerlichen Verhältnissen stammende Leifheit 1940 im Alter von 20 Jahren freiwillig zur Waffen-SS gemeldet und bei der als Eliteeinheit geltenden Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler gedient hatte. Diese Geschichte, der Einsatz an den verschiedenen Fronten im Krieg, aber auch der Neuanfang nach 1945 werden erstmals auf umfassender Aktenbasis dargestellt. Gefragt wird zudem nach den Gründen, warum der auch als Mäzen wirkende Unternehmer über seine Vergangenheit beharrlich geschwiegen hat.

A major reassessment of the British government's communication of the goals of the Second World War and how its propaganda undermined the people's faith in the reliability of war news and the credibility of political leaders.

While waging war against enemies overseas, governments also need to win the hearts and minds of their own citizens. The media is critical to delivering the official message, raising public support for war, maintaining morale, spelling out what is to be achieved, downplaying setbacks, and presenting a bright vision of the postwar future. ln public memory, the British people were united in their support for the Second World War. Yet this popular image of the People's War neglects the fact that the war had to be sold.
 
In this work stretching from appeasement in 1938 through victory, award-winning historian Steven Casey examines how media, government, and armed forces worked to convince the British public to support the war, as well as the ways the British home front often questioned and challenged the official line. Using a vast array of primary sources, some of them previously untapped, he looks at the broad range of problems and policies that needed to be defended and explained, censored and concealed. The venues range widely from the battlefield to the football field, from the rubble-strewn cities of blitzed Britain to the faraway outposts of Empire. ln his chronological narrative of the war, Casey shines light on numerous high-profile episodes, including Munich and Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, evacuation and rationing, and the campaigns in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Throughout, Casey stresses how the British military forged a relationship with reporters, how this relationship shaped news coverage of the fighting, and how this coverage in turn exerted a profound impact on every other dimension of the government's private and public actions. No one before has examined how all the branches of the armed services kept the home front informed about progress and especially setbacks. Officials, Casey argues, failed to communicate effectively with the British people, which undermined public trust and called the credibility of the political leadership into question. Remarkably, the BBC and Fleet Street sometimes relayed German communiqués to the public because the British government failed to release timely reports of its own. 
 
The Sceptic Isle provides a bold reassessment of how the British government sold the Second World War to the British public. It powerfully showcases how the attempt to mould and manipulate coverage of battles created a major credibility gap that cast a long shadow over the British government's efforts to sell the different dimensions of the Second World War to the home front.
