As mentioned in The Times Travel Book Club 2020Award winning writer Paul Theroux embarks on a journey that, though closer to home than most of his expeditions, uncovers some surprising truths about Britain and the British people in the ''80s in The Kingdom by the Sea: A Journey Around the Coast of Great Britain. Paul Theroux''s round-Britain travelogue is funny, perceptive and ''best avoided by patriots with high blood pressure...''After eleven years living as an American in London, Paul Theroux set out to travel clockwise round the coast and find out what Britain and the British are really like.

"If we in Great Britain are resolute and wise there will emerge from this catastrophe something which may well give hope to the world" First published in 1939 as a Penguin Special, this is the original best-selling account of why Britain went to war with Germany. In simple terms it describes the stages of Adolf Hitler''s ruthless pursuit for power, identifies his methods of deception and false diplomacy, and details his terrifying use of force that rendered peaceful negotiation increasingly difficult, and finally impossible. Shining a light on Hitler''s early life and character, Harold Nicolson reveals the dictator''s political theories in Mein Kampf, and explains the strategies he adopted in seizing the Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia and later Poland. Written with clarity and insight, and read widely by soldiers during World War II, the final message of hope and peace is as relevant today as it was in 1939.This facsimile edition includes a new introduction by Andrew Roberts, best-selling author of The Storm of War; Masters and Commanders and Hitler and Churchill: Secrets of Leadership.

One of the most notorious German spies of the twentieth century, Lothar Witzke lived a life that reads like a thriller. Convicted of espionage in 1918, he was the only German spy sentenced to death by the United States during World War I. After the war, he was pardoned by President Calvin Coolidge, only to be later accused of responsibility for one of the most spectacular acts of sabotage in US history: the Black Tom munitions depot explosion. After being repatriated to Germany, Witzke lived in Latin America and China as a German expat and later joined the Nazi party. He ran espionage squads in Great Britain during World War II and became a prominent businessman in Hamburg after the war. He was killed in Hamburg in 1962, possibly by an East German agent as payback for suspected double agent work on behalf of the British. With Citizen of the Shadows, the first full biography of Witzke, Paul Friedland and Robert Hornick trace Witzke's morally complicated life and show readers how an infamous spy thrived in the interwar years and after. They probe his trial, conviction, and pardon, and analyze whether Witzke was really involved in the Black Tom explosion. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

At the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, despite many difficulties and falling manpower, coalmining was the most important industry in Great Britain. It employed around a million persons in well over 3,000 pits ranging from small hillside drift mines with a few hands to substantial collieries with workforces and pit communities the size of villages and small towns. A few months into the conflict, Lloyd George in a patriotic speech to a coal conference proclaimed that coal was ''everything for us, the country''s life and blood, its international coinage''.As well as digging coal for the war effort, often in dreadful and dangerous conditions, miners demonstrated ''their old work in a new guise'' when serving in huge numbers during the Great War. Thousands voluntarily swapped the pit for what many thought would be a better and safer option, around a quarter of a million enlisting by 1915; and about one in five of all military volunteers came from the coalfields of England, Scotland and Wales, an astonishing proportion. The massive response to the Call for Arms was most obvious in industrial areas where the so-called ''Pals battalions'' were established and it was these recruits who suffered so heavily during ...

-- Shortlisted for the Westminster Book Awards in the category of Best Biography by a Parliamentarian.A vivid biography in cinematic snapshots of David Lloyd George, one of the world’s greatest statesmen.Brought up in rural North Wales, David Lloyd George attended neither a grand school nor ancient university. He was very much an outsider. And yet he rose through the ranks with charisma, fierce intelligence and fighting spirit to become, as Churchill put it in his tribute, a man who ‘stood, when at his zenith, without a rival’.But his rise was not without its hardships, and in Rivals in the Storm, experienced MP and author Damian Collins focuses on the impact of Lloyd George’s personality on other leading politicians, in driving progressive reforms through government, changing the course of the First World War to lead the Allies to victory, and cementing Britain’s alliance with America.Covering Lloyd George’s emergence as the dominating political personality in Great Britain to the aftermath of his resignation, this fascinating biography takes you inside the rooms where the important decisions happened, and shows the bitter struggles as well as the triumphs of this great man of his or any other age, who nonetheless fell short of his ...

This book provides a modern, scholary edition of the runic inscriptions, Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon, discovered in the Isle of Man. All are carved into stone and most are commemorative in nature. A broad view has been taken of the Manx runic material. Weight is given to runological and linguistic questions, in particular graph-types and their implications, orthography, the origin and linguistic background of the rune carvers, and language contract and its possible consequences. But attention is also directed at matters such as dating and the implications of what the inscriptions say for our understanding of Manx society at the time they were made. Archaeology and art history are brought into the discussion insofar as these fields of study cast light on the inscriptions and their context. Emphasis is further placed on the nature of the discovery of the rune-stones, their subsequent history and their treatment by earlier scholars. The work is copiously illustrated. It contains recent photographs of all the stones and their runes, computerised drawings of each inscription, and significant early depictions of parts of the material.

A classic study of the Jews by a best selling author.In this critically acclaimed book, Paul Johnson delves deep into the 4,000-year history of the Jews: a race of awe-inspiring endurance, steadfast homogeneity and loyalty and, above all, the belief that history has a purpose and humanity a destiny.With exacting precision and enthusiasm, Paul Johnson has mapped the lives of these people from their early ancestors in the House of David, through great periods of creativity and enterprise, alienation in the ghettos, Adolf Hitler''s obsession to obliterate the race, up until the present day.This book is a powerful argument about the nature of Jewish genius, its strengths and contradictions, which brilliantly presents the entire Jewish phenomenon. It makes incisive though-provoking sense of the whole.

Když Dwight D. Eisenhower získal v roce 1952 nejvyšší počet hlasů v dějinách Spojených států, stal se prezidentem nejmocnější země světa, jež navíc vstupovala do desetiletí prudkého hospodářského rozmachu. Proslulý britský historik Paul Johnson nám v novém životopise velkého vojáka a státníka odhaluje základní zdroje jeho mimořádného úspěchu a srozumitelně přibližuje jeho vývoj od talentovaného štábního důstojníka přes pětihvězdičkového generála až k jedné z vůdčích osobností "amerického století". Johnson vyzdvihuje jeho rozvahu, smysl pro humor a přirozené velitelské schopnosti. Provází nás jeho dětstvím v prostém prostředí Kansasu, léty studia v prestižním West Pointu a dlouhou cestou k nejvyšším vojenským postům. Jednoznačně odmítá názory některých jeho dřívějších kritiků, kteří ho obviňovali z lenosti a nedostatku vůdcovských schopností. Ukazuje ho jako člověka nedoceněné inteligence, energie a sebekázně. Podrobně se zabývá jeho působením v roli vrchního velitele spojeneckých sil v Evropě, v níž Eisenhower prokázal během nejhrozivějšího konfliktu světových dějin své výjimečné strategické přednosti. Johnson jej představuje jako rozeného vůdce, generála i prezidenta a současně vysvětluje příčiny jeho úspěchu, k nimž patřila jeho nezdolná pracovitost, schopnost vyjít s lidmi, umění spolupracovat s médii, nenápadná důslednost a nesmírná inteligence, kterou dovedně skrýval pod maskou "prostého vojáka".

However, it was still possible to see lots of interesting vehicles – some companies and individuals remained staunch users of British-built lorries.Quite a few older vehicles could still be seen soldiering on, but as time went on these gradually started to disappear.

Following the sad death of Stuart Baker, the creator of Rail Atlas Great Britain and Ireland, in 2020, we were fortunate that another fine railway cartographer, Joe Brown, agreed to complete the work that Stuart had begun, to revise what became the 15th edition. However, the railway network of Great Britain and Ireland is always changing and never static and revised editions of this atlas are required on a regular basis; the rebuilding of the line from Oxford towards Cambridge and the reinstatement of the Foynes branch in Ireland being examples of some of the additions to this new edition. Fortunately, Joe Brown has agreed to take on this work and this 16th edition will be the first one to be fully edited and revised by him. As with all the previous editions, the Atlas has been fully revised and updated whilst retaining the convenient format of mapping where each page overlaps with that on adjoining pages to make it easier to follow a long-distance route. Where appropriate, additional detailed inset maps have been drawn to show the complex railway developments in metropolitan areas such as Nottingham and Manchester.

Sto čtyřicet poutavých medailonů věhlasných jedinců, s nimiž se britský historik setkal během více než šedesátiletého působení v pozici novináře, spisovatele a veřejně činné osoby, představuje v osobitém úhlu pohledu celebrity 20. století a s nimi i ducha tohoto neklidného věku. Některé nabízejí vtipné glosy, jiné se zaměřují na neznámý rozměr dotyčné osoby, mimo jiné princezny Diany, prezidenta Reagana, premiérů Churchilla nebo Thatcherové, evropských i cizokrajných státníků, umělců z řad spisovatelů, malířů, hudebníků či herců. "Pouze zvedám oponu, abych předvedl lidskou komedii, jíž jsem byl svědkem, a nabídl čtenářům to, co jsem viděl, slyšel a dozvěděl se, často jen šeptem či v poznámkách utroušených po straně," vysvětluje svůj výběr autor. "Psaní životopisů lidí, kteří byli povoláni do vysokých úřadů nebo se ocitli v ohnisku významných událostí, mě vždycky přitahovalo, poněvadž mě nesmírně fascinuje vztah mezi inteligencí a politikou. Skutečností zůstává, že z velmi chytrých lidí bývají zřídka dobří vládci, zatímco muži a ženy průměrné inteligence se nejednou zhostí nejvýznamnějších úřadů velmi úspěšně. Morální charakter vládce je nakonec důležitější než jiné vlastnosti, ačkoli ty se mohou zdát pro počáteční úspěch nezbytné.

Which was the first railway in Great Britain? Certainly not the one engineered by George Stephenson – one of the first was laid down at Wollaton, near Nottingham, open by 1610, long before Stephenson''s birth in 1781.In this comprehensive history, Colin Maggs, one of the country''s foremost railway historians, tells the story of over 400 years of British railway history. He covers early horse and gravity-worked lines to those powered by steam, electricity and diesel. The development of locomotives, rolling stock, signalling and major accidents – often marking major changes in how the network was run – are all described in detail. Pivotal moments including the Amalgamation of 1923 when most railway companies became part of the GWR, LMSR or LNER, nationalisation and privatisation are set in their historical context.Colin Maggs also ventures his views on where Britain''s railways will go in the future, including HS2 and beyond. Great Britain’s Railways is illustrated with more than 200 photographs of rolling stock, railway architecture and period ephemera.

Many stories abound of the daring exploits of the RAF’s young fighter pilots defying the might of Hitler’s Luftwaffe, and of the dogged courage of the men of Bomber Command flying night after night over Germany in the face of flak and Focke-Wulfs, yet little has been written about the pilots who provided the key evidence that guided the RAF planners – the aerial photographers.Ken Johnson joined No.1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit as an eighteen-year-old and soon found himself at the controls of a Spitfire high above enemy territory. The PRU aircraft were stripped of all nonessential equipment to increase their performance, because speed and height was their only protection as the aircraft’s guns were among those items that were removed.In this lighthearted reminiscence, Ken Johnson relives his training and transfer to an operational unit, but not the one he had expected. He had asked if he could fly Spitfires. He was granted that request, only to find himself joining a rare band of flyers who took to the skies alone, and who flew in broad daylight to photograph enemy installations with no radios and no armament. Unlike the fighter pilots who sought out enemy aircraft, the pilots of the PRU ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A study of the conditions of being a citizen, belonging and democracy in suburban Britain, this book focuses on understanding how a community takes on the social responsibility and pressures of being a good citizen through what they call ?stupid? events, festivals and parades. Building a community is perceived to be an important and necessary act to enable resilience against the perceived threats of neoliberal socio-economic life such as isolation, selfishness and loss of community. Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain{::}** explores how authoritative knowledge is developed, maintained and deployed by this group as they encounter other ?social projects?, such as the local council planning committee or academic projects researching participation in urban planning.The activists, who call themselves the ?Seething Villagers?, model their community activity on the mythical ancient village of Seething where moral tales of how to work together, love others and be a community are laid out in the Seething Tales. These tales include Seething ?facts? such as the fact that the ancient Mountain of Seething was destroyed by a giant. The assertion of fact is central to the mechanisms of play and the refusal of expertise at the heart of the Seething community. The book also ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Jen málokterý jednotlivec dokázal ovlivnit dějiny zásadněji než Napoleon Bonaparte. I když byl u moci jen po desetiletí a půl, jeho vliv nepřestal být patrný dodnes a mnoho lidí stále obdivuje jeho nezdolnou vůli. Jednou z hlavních tezí Johnsonovy knihy je, že Bonaparte nebyl ideolog, nýbrž oportunista, kterému se podařilo využít dějinné náhody Francouzské revoluce k tomu, aby se vyšvihl na vrchol moci. Poté rozpoutal v Evropě nejničivější války, jaké starý světadíl do té doby zažil. Vůbec poprvé hrály v obrovském růstu armád podstatnou roli masové odvody a v bitvách se střetávaly celé národy. Zrodil ze nový koncept totální války a vyrostly instituce jako tajná policie, rozsáhlá profesionální špionáž, vládní propagandistická mašinérie nebo předstírání údajně demokratických postupů, voleb a plebiscitů. Johnson čtenáře poutavým způsobem seznamuje i s mnoha fakty Napoleonova soukromého života, ať už jde o jeho rodinu, dvě manželky, milenky či vyhnanství a smrt na Svaté Heleně.

I když už Jonah Hex viděl snad všechno pod sluncem, existují jisté kruhy pekla, na které ani sám Hex ještě nenarazil. Některé mají původ v minulosti - jako třeba jistý divous, jenž se chystá snést morovou ránu na hemživé masy města bez zákonů známého jako Gotham. A jiné pro změnu přicházejí z budoucnosti - jako prapodivný nový šerif Red River Junction, chlapík v obleku cirkusového klauna jménem Booster Gold. Hex si to tentokrát rozdá s nesmrtelnými, cestovateli v čase, uctívači ďábla a mnohými dalšími! To ho zavede z Gothamu až k Rio Grande a zase zpět.

Johnsonovy DĚJINY 20. STOLETÍ představují strhující příběh úděsného věku velkých technických vynálezů, ohromného bohatství i nekonečné bídy a teroru. Kniha vzbudila velký rozruch na Západě nejen proto, že je mistrně napsána, ale hlavně tím, jak nemilosrdně odhaluje pravdu všem levicovým intelektuálům tak nepohodlnou. Všude, kde se prosadil ideologický stát, vládne korupce myšlení, teror nebo útlak. Všude, kde stát zasahuje do tržního mechanismu, či se dokonce stává neosobním "majitelem" hospodářství, vládnou úplatky, demoralizace a bída. Johnson si neklade žádné meze, jde-li o fakta. Rudá nit teroru se odvíjí v Africe, Asii i v Latinské Americe za nepřetržitého potlesku západních intelektuálů. Podstatu zla však vidí autor v morálním relativismu, který po celá desetiletí bránil liberální demokracii, aby zvítězila. DĚJINY 20. STOLETÍ v mistrovském překladu Jana Čulíka jsou nepostradatelnou učebnicí moderní historiografie a politologie.

From being transported by the sound of ''True Love'' by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly on the radio, as a small child living in condemned housing in ungentrified West London in the late 1950s, to going out to work as a postman humming ''Watching the Detectives'' by Elvis Costello in 1977, Alan Johnson''s life has always had a musical soundtrack. In fact music hasn''t just accompanied his life, it''s been an integral part of it.In the bestselling and award-winning tradition of This Boy, In My Life vividly transports us to a world that is no longer with us - a world of Dansettes and jukeboxes, of heartfelt love songs and heart-broken ballads, of smoky coffee shops and dingy dance halls. From Bob Dylan to David Bowie, from Lonnie Donnegan to Bruce Springsteen, all of Alan''s favourites are here. As are, of course, his beloved Beatles, whom he has worshipped with undying admiration since 1963.But this isn''t just a book about music. In My Life adds a fourth dimension to the story of Alan Johnson the man.

This timely history explores the entry, reception and resettlement of refugees across twentieth-century Britain. Focusing on four cohorts of refugees – Jewish and other refugees from Nazism; Hungarians in 1956; Ugandan Asians expelled by Idi Amin; and Vietnamese ''boat people'' who arrived in the wake of the fall of Saigon – Becky Taylor deftly integrates refugee history with key themes in the history of modern Britain. She thus demonstrates how refugees'' experiences, rather than being marginal, were emblematic of some of the principal developments in British society. Arguing that Britain''s reception of refugees was rarely motivated by humanitarianism, this book reveals the role of Britain''s international preoccupations, anxieties and sense of identity; and how refugees'' reception was shaped by voluntary efforts and the changing nature of the welfare state. Based on rich archival sources, this study offers a compelling new perspective on changing ideas of Britishness and the place of ''outsiders'' in modern Britain.
