Checkpoint Charlie je jeho druhá kniha.

Really outstanding Jonathan DimblebyAt 8:15 a.m. on August 6th, 1945, the Japanese port city of Hiroshima was struck by the world s first atomic bomb. Built in the US by the top-secret Manhattan Project and delivered by a B-29 Superfortress, a revolutionary long-range bomber, the weapon destroyed large swaths of the city, instantly killing tens of thousands. The world would never be the same again.The Hiroshima Men s unique narrative recounts the decade-long journey towards this first atomic attack. It charts the race for nuclear technology before, and during the Second World War, as the allies fought the axis powers in Europe, North Africa, China, and across the vastness of the Pacific, and is seen through the experiences of several key characters: General Leslie Groves, leader of the Manhattan Project alongside Robert Oppenheimer; pioneering Army Air Force bomber pilot Colonel Paul Tibbets II; the mayor of Hiroshima, Senkichi Awaya, who would die alongside over eighty-thousand of his fellow citizens; and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist John Hersey, who travelled to post-war Japan to expose the devastation the bomb had inflicted upon the city, and in a historic New Yorker article, described in unflinching detail the dangers posed by its deadly after-effect, radiation poisoning.This thrilling account takes the reader from the corridors of the White House to the laboratories and test sites of New Mexico; from the air war above Nazi Germany and the savage reconquest of the Pacific to the deadly firebombing air raids across the Japanese Home Islands. The Hiroshima Men also includes Japanese perspectives - a vital aspect often missing from Western narratives - to complete MacGregor s nuanced, deeply human account of the bombing s meaning and aftermath.

Co má společného míšeňský porcelán, šťavnaté klobásky, Valhala nebo design Bauhausu, Bismarck či Karel Veliký, Braniborská brána a vjezd do koncentračního tábora v Buchenwaldu? Všechno jsou to symboly Německa vztahující se k jeho vzletům i pádům. Jejich prostřednictvím zkoumá britský kunsthistorik Neil MacGregor klíčové okamžiky německých dějin. Analyzuje pozadí převratných německých úspěchů, rozvoje kultury i technického a společenského pokroku, a zároveň sleduje cestu vedoucí k děsivým tragédiím. Obsáhlá kniha vznikla paralelně k úspěšné rozhlasové sérii Německo: Vzpomínky jednoho národa, kterou produkovala stanice BBC Radio 4 ve spolupráci s Britským muzeem a Neilem MacGregorem.

Neil MacGregor s A History of the World in 100 Objects takes a bold, original approach to human history, exploring past civilizations through the objects that defined them. Encompassing a grand sweep of human history, A History of the World in 100 Objects begins with one of the earliest surviving objects made by human hands, a chopping tool from the Olduvai gorge in Africa, and ends with objects which characterise the world we live in today. Seen through MacGregor s eyes, history is a kaleidoscope - shifting, interconnected, constantly surprising, and shaping our world today in ways that most of us have never imagined. A stone pillar tells us about a great Indian emperor preaching tolerance to his people; Spanish pieces of eight tell us about the beginning of a global currency; and an early Victorian tea-set speaks to us about the impact of empire. An intellectual and visual feast, this is one of the most engrossing and unusual history books published in years. Brilliant, engagingly written, deeply researched Mary Beard, Guardian A triumph: hugely popular, and rightly lauded as one of the most effective and intellectually ambitious initiatives in the making of public history for many decades Sunday Telegraph Highly intelligent, delightfully written and utterly absorbing Timothy Clifford, Spectator This is a story book, vivid and witty, shining with insights, connections, shocks and delights Gillian Reynolds Daily Telegraph

**IAIN DALE S LATEST COLLECTION OF ESSAYS: AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW** Praise for Iain Dale: Riveting and enlightening. A history lesson via a novel route. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really enjoying reading this book. It is easy to dip in and out and each chapter is well written. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Illuminating yet balanced ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Were the signs that Putin is a ruthless dictator there all along? How should we deal with President Xi of China? Given the world seems to be moving more and more towards authoritarian rule, this is the right moment to seek warnings, and lessons, from history. In The Dictators, Iain Dale brings together 64 essays by historians, academics, journalists and politicians about elected and unelected dictators, wartime and peacetime dictators, those driven by ideology and those with a reputation for sheer brutality. How did these tyrants, autocrats and despots seize power - and how did they exercise it? And how did they lose it? Very few dictators die peacefully in their own beds, after all. Only by examining these figures from the 6th century BC to the present, from ancient Greece to present day Saudi Arabia, do patterns start to emerge. We can see the shared character traits, the common conditions, the patterns of behaviour that have enabled dictators to seize power - time and time again. The Dictators is acutely relevant to world politics today: it is indeed a warning from history. Will we take heed? Or will history, in fact, teach us that history teaches us nothing?

A compelling account of a compulsory subject ... A masterpiece of compression and readability Daniel Finkelstein A deft, clear-eyed summary of Thatcher s life Rory Stewart Iain Dale introduces Margaret Thatcher to a new generation and intelligently explodes some of the myths about her Simon HefferMargaret Thatcher was a woman of tremendous paradoxes: a conviction politician who was also a pragmatist; someone who delighted in her tough reputation, yet could also be emotional, and even tearful, when confronted by personal or national tragedy. Her reputation as a cabinet leader was one of being quasi-dictatorial, yet she left her ministers to get on with their jobs â “ far more than any of her successors ever have. She was known as a classical laissez faire liberal, yet she started out as a social conservative, and wasnâ ™t averse to state intervention when she felt it was warranted. Iain Daleâ ™s sparkling short biography of Margaret Thatcher brings her to life in all her paradoxes and contradictions, and shows how her election in 1979 really was a turning point in British history. Dubbed the â ˜Iron Ladyâ ™ by the Soviets, she was one of the few recent prime ministers to burnish an international reputation, fighting the Falklands war, playing a leading role in defeating Communism and winning the Cold War, and through her battles with the European Economic Community. Domestically, she ushered in a period of forty years of consensus on the limited role of the state, an industrial relations settlement and the dominance of the private sector in the economy â “ a settlement that is only now being seriously questioned. A little over a decade after her death, Margaret Thatcher introduces her to new generations of readers who may not remember her premiership, but who are living with its consequences.

Featuring forewords from bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, this is the official and fully authorised biography of the worldâ ™s most revered and celebrated drummer.Mid-1962. The newly formed Rolling Stones are on the hunt for a permanent drummer. Their sights are set on Charlie Watts, a jazz musician already well-known within Londonâ ™s rhythm and blues clubs. Fortunately for future Stones fans the world over, they persuade him to take on the job. Once installed at the drum seat, Charlie would not miss a beat for the rest of his life. He was there throughout the swinging sixties as the Stones reached superstardom and for the well-documented debauchery of the 1970s, typified by the iconic album Exile on Main St. Battling his own demons by the eighties, Charlie emerged unscathed, cementing his reputation as the thoughtful, cultured but no less compelling counterpoint to his more raucous bandmates.For almost 60 years â “ through all the band bust-ups, bereavements and changes in personnel both on stage and off â “ Charlie remained the rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones. At the same time, he was the antithesis of the rock-star archetype, an intensely private man who valued his family above all else.Drawing on new interviews with his family, friends and former bandmates â “ including Mick Jagger and Keith Richards â “ Charlieâ ™s Good Tonight is the remarkable life story of Charlie Watts: official, authorised and as itâ ™s never been told before.
