'A terrific book about a terrifying subject by the best historian of Russia working today' - Michael Burleigh, author of The Third ReichIn Blood on the Snow, Robert Service returns to the subject that has formed the backbone of his long and distinguished career: the Russian Revolution.For Service, the great unanswered question is how to reconcile the two vital narratives that underpin the extraordinary but troubled events of 1917. One puts the blame squarely on Tsar Nicholas II and on Alexander Kerensky’s provisional government that deposed him. The other is the view from the bottom, that of the workers and peasants who wanted democratic socialism, not the Bolshevik dictatorship imposed by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and his successors.Service's vivid and revisionist account spans the period from the outbreak of the First World War to Lenin’s death in 1924. In it, he reveals that key seeds of the revolution were sown by the Tsar's decision to join the war against Germany in 1914. He shows with brutal clarity how those events played out, eventually leading to the establishment of the totalitarian Soviet regime, which would endure for the next seven decades.Nicholas II, Kerensky and Lenin are to the fore, but Service enriches his narrative by drawing on little-known diaries of those such as the Vologda peasant Alexander Zamaraev, the NCO Alexei Shtukaturov and the Moscow accounts clerk Nikita Okunev. Through the testimony of these ‘ordinary’ people, Service traces the tortuous path that Russia took through war, revolution and civil war.'This authoritative, detailed account shows how Lenin won control of Russia and caused untold misery . . .

When they rescue a selkie, it's the perfect solution to her problem.Lizzie needs a guide through Threshold and the selkie needs her skin back.Maeve didn't choose to give up her skin-it was stolen from her. Now she's in an uneasy partnership with a dangerous woman who seems more apt to kill than to share a kind word. It's terrifying...and a bit alluring.Even though she knows it will end in heartbreak, Maeve can't help being drawn to Lizzie.Unfortunately, the danger to Maeve's heart is the least of her worries. The ship they're seeking belongs to the Cwn Annwn, and they don't take kindly to people who cross them.

eBook: If you’re thinking of reconnecting with old friends, this suspenseful tale may make you reconsider. Frank and Northmour haven’t seen each other in years. Mainly due to Northmour being a bad-tempered recluse. So when Frank turns up unannounced at Northmour’s house, he can’t quite believe his eyes. His old college buddy is entertaining guests! And not only that, he’s due to be married to one of them. But there are some ugly secrets lurking behind Northmour’s transformation. And as Frank digs into the mystery, he’s pulled into a thriller of Italian crime families, fraudulent bankers and forbidden love. Hailed by Arthur Conan Doyle as Stevenson’s "high water-mark", "Pavilion on the Links" recalls the thrillers of Agatha Christie or Wilkie Collins.

Od zhroucení komunismu ve východní Evropě a SSSR uplynula téměř dvě desetiletí. Robert Service, jeden z předních odborníků na moderní ruské dějiny a profesor na Oxfordské univerzitě, si vytyčuje úkol prozkoumat historii komunismu ve světě. Čerpá z četných zdrojů, mimo jiné i z nově zpřístupněných dokumentů, a nabízí jak lidský pohled na tuto problematiku, tak i globální analýzu. Český čtenář už zná jeho podrobný životopis Lenina. Ve své velice rozsáhlé, avšak čtivé monografii, Service portrétuje i další inspirátory, tvůrce i příznivce komunistického hnutí od Marxe přes Maa až ke Castrovi a dalším moderním diktátorům. Přestože se kniha se soustředí v první řadě na Rusko, pojednává i o dějinách a vývoji komunistických hnutí v dalších zemích a všude hledá a nachází společné rysy komunistických režimů: diktaturu, potlačení osobních svobod, pronásledování církve, všepronikající moc státu, justiční zločiny - neslavné následky snahy o celosvětovou revoluci, jež měla vést k odstranění tříd a nastolení sociální spravedlnosti. Historik dochází k nepříjemným závěrům, jež jsou i důležitým varováním pro jednadvacáté století: komunismus ve své původní formě je sice mrtvý nebo skomírá, avšak chudoba a bezpráví, jež umožnily jeho vzestup, jsou dosud nebezpečně živé a umožňují extremistické využití. Už proto si toto znepokojivé, přesvědčivě napsané a brilantními argumenty podložené vynikající historické dílo, zaslouží čtenářskou pozornost.

It was 13 October 1972. Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, carrying a team of young rugby players, their families and friends, took off for the very last time. A deadly miscalculation saw F571 crash directly into the Andean mountains to devastating consequences: the body of the plane broke violently into two, its floor torn to smithereens; seats flew out of the air taking passengers with them.In the weeks that followed, the remaining people who were on board - the snow society - emerged to fight a dire, gruelling battle for survival.Waiting for a rescue team that didn't arrive, the survivors became fewer and fewer in numbers. Stranded alone on a glacier, they had to face brutal temperatures, lethal avalanches and the loss of friends and family with no access to supplies, food or water. In order to survive, they had to do the unthinkable . . . It wasn't until seventy-two days later that they were able to reach safety.Alarmingly gritty, moving and powerfully told, journalist Pablo Vierci recounts the unsettling stories of the sixteen survivors in intimate detail. Drawing on exclusive interviews, The Snow Society delves into the tragedy of the crash and how it radically redefined the rest of the survivors' lives. Ultimately, however, the book is a touching testament to the strength of faith, friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit.

In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

1919. The eyes of the world are on Paris, where statesmen, diplomats and politicians have gathered to discuss the fate of half the world's nations in the aftermath of the cataclysm that was the Great War. A horde of journalists, spies and opportunists have also gathered in the city and the last thing the British diplomatic community needs at such a time is the mysterious death of a senior member of their delegation. So, when Sir Henry Maxted falls from the roof of his mistress's apartment building in unexplained circumstances, their first instinct is to suppress all suspicious aspects of the event. But Sir Henry's son, ex Royal Flying Corps ace James 'Max' Maxted, has other ideas. He resolves to find out how and why his father died - even if this means disturbing the impression of harmonious calm which the negotiating teams have worked so hard to maintain. In a city where countries are jostling for position at the crossroads of history and the stakes could hardly be higher, it is difficult to tell who is a friend and who a foe. And Max will soon discover just how much he needs friends, as his search for the truth sucks him into the dark heart of a seemingly impenetrable mystery.
