Two men were parachuted in, in an effort to break the deadlock. Their mission: to penetrate deep into enemy territory and lay waste to the Germans'' impregnable headquarters.At the eleventh hour mission commanders radioed for David ''The Mad Piper'' Kilpatrick to be flown in, resplendent in his tartan kilt. They wanted this fearless war hero to lead the assault, piping Highland Laddie as he went - so leaving an indelible British signature to deter Nazi reprisals.As the column of raiders formed up, there was shocking news. High command radioed through an order to stand down, having assessed the chances of success at little more than zero. But in defiance of orders, and come hell or high-water, they were going in.

Officially, the world''s most elite special forces unit was dissolved at the end of the Second World War, and not reactivated until the 1950s. Among their last actions was a disastrous commando raid into occupied France in 1944, which ended in the capture,torture and execution of 31 soldiers.It can now be revealed that the SAS never was dissolved: it lived on, commanded personally by Churchill and hidden even from the British government. They were tasked with hunting through the ruins of the Reich for the SS commanders responsible for the murder of their comrades, including many who had escaped the failed justice of the Nuremberg trials. Along the way, they discovered before anyone else the full horror of Hitler''s regime, and the growing threat from Stalin''s Russia.Still studied by the SAS today and a central part of their founding myth, the story of the Nazi hunters is now told by bestselling author Damien Lewis.

Meet the unit that posed as Nazi stormtroopers in the most daring mission ever undertaken SAS Ghost Patrol is the explosive true story of the day in 1942 when the SAS donned Nazi uniforms to perpetrate the most audacious and daring mission of the war.

SAS Bravo Three Zero - Damien Lewis, Des Powell

''An incredible story, and so well told'' Bear Grylls''Honesty, integrity and real experience that puts you in the thick of the action.'' Billy BillinghamThere were three patrols that fateful January 1991 morning: Bravo One Zero, Bravo Two Zero and Bravo Three Zero. It was the opening hours of the Gulf War and the SAS were flown deep behind enemy lines to hunt down Saddam''s Scud missiles, the use of which threatened a Third World War.The men of Bravo One Zero stepped off the chopper, took one look at the flat desert devoid of any cover and decided no way were they deploying into all of that. But Andy NcNab''s famed Bravo Two Zero patrol did deploy, with fatal results - all bar one being captured or killed.And then there was Bravo Three Zero. These men were different. Thought differently. Acted differently. Treating as gospel the SAS''s saying ''any fool can be uncomfortable'', they deployed with vehicles, and while there was nowhere to hide they could make a dash for the border if desperate.Even as warnings came in that McNab''s patrol was on the run, Bravo Three Zero remained undetected - the furthest Coalition forces behind Iraqi lines. Slipping through enemy positions, a string of targets were taken out. But with the desert turning bitter and snow starting to fall, they were forced to fight a running battle against the elements as much as the enemy.Though overshadowed by the fate of Bravo Two Zero, the achievements of this highly-decorated patrol are the stuff of elite forces legend. Now, for the first time, SAS veteran Des Powell reveals their story in gritty, blow-by-blow detail. Written with acclaimed military author Damien Lewis, this is a tale of edge-of-the seat daring deep inside enemy lands. Brutal, savage, unrelenting - prepare to be blown away, in a tale that proves utterly the SAS motto - who dares wins.

Churchill's Secret Warriors - Damien Lewis

From the award-winning historian, war reporter, and author Damien Lewis (Zero Six Bravo, Judy) comes the incredible true story of the top-secret "butcher-and-bolt" black ops units Prime Minister Winston Churchill tasked with stopping the unstoppable German war machine. Criminals, rogues, and survivalists, the brutal tactics and grit of these "deniables" would define a military unit the likes of which the world had never seen. When France fell to the Nazis in 1940, Churchill declared that Britain would resist the advance of the German army--alone if necessary. Churchill commanded the Special Operations Executive to secretly develop of a very special kind of military unit that would operate on their own initiative deep behind enemy lines. The units would be licensed to kill, fully deniable by the British government, and a ruthless force to meet the advancing Germans.The very first of these "butcher-and-bolt" units--the innocuously named Maid Honour Force--was led by Gus March-Phillipps, a wild British eccentric of high birth, and an aristocratic, handsome, and bloodthirsty young Danish warrior, Anders Lassen. Amped up on amphetamines, these assorted renegades and sociopaths undertook the very first of Churchill''s special operations--a top-secret, high-stakes mission to seize Nazi shipping in the far-distant port of Fernando Po, in West Africa. Though few of these early desperadoes survived WWII, they took part in a series of fascinating, daring missions that changed the course of the war. It was the first stirrings of the modern special-ops team, and all of the men involved would be declared war heroes when it was all over. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare focuses on a dozen of these extraordinary men, weaving their stories of brotherhood, comradely, and elite soldiering into a gripping narrative yarn, from the earliest missions to Anders Larssen''s tragic death, just weeks before the end of the war.

Operation Certain Death - Damien Lewis

This book chronicles the story of the single most daring Special Forces operation since World War Two - Operation Barras; the attempted rescue by the SAS of the British Forces who were being held captive by guerrilla gang the West Side Boys in the Sierra Leone jungle. The West Side Boys were a strange-looking bunch, wearing pink shades, shower caps, fluorescent wigs and voodoo charms they believed made them invulnerable to bullets - an impression re-enforced by ganja, heroine, crack cocaine and gallons of sweet palm wine. In 1999 a twelve man patrol of Royal Irish Rangers, who were training government troops in Sierra Leone, were captured and held hostage by the West Side Boys. They were held prisoner in a fortified jungle hideaway, with severed heads decorating the palisades, defended by some 400 heavily armed soldiers. Operation Barras, the rescue mission, was a combined force of 100 Paras, twelve members of the Special Boat Squadron, helicopters from the Navy and RAF and, spearheading the operation, 40-strong D squadron of the SAS. Against amazing odds the hostages were rescued - over 150 of the enemy were killed. Operation Certain Death is a thrilling true story of all out war. No hostages taken. Blood-letting on a vast scale inflicted on a very blood-thirsty enemy. A gripping piece of true military history, perfect for fans of action adventure stories and anyone interested in the top secret division of the British Army.

Memo Paris Italian Leather parfémovaná voda unisex 200 ml

Memo Paris Italian Leather, 200 ml, Parfémované vody unisex, Italian Leather je balzámová aromatická vůně pro muže a ženy s výrazným akordem kůže. Patří do kolekce Cuirs Nomades z dílny francouzské nikové (niche) značky MEMO, založené roku 2007 knižní vydavatelkou Clarou Molloy. Parfémy Memo jsou inspirované vzácnými vzpomínkami, které Clara nasbírala na svých četných cestách po celém světě. Pro všechny platí motto značky: „Vůně je suvenýr. ’Memo’ je její pamětí.“ Parfémovaná voda Italian Leather není výjimkou, čerpá inspiraci z kouzelné vzpomínky na Itálii jakožto dokonalého místa pro snílky. Vůni Memo Italian Leather vytvořila renomovaná návrhářka parfémů Alienor Massenet a dokonale jí ztělesnila představu o Itálii jako zemi, kde se můžete oddávat snění při sledování hvězdné oblohy, rozvíjet své sny, dodávat jim tisíce podob a radostně se jimi nechat prostoupit. Parfémovaná voda Italian Leather evokuje cestu za takovýmto snivým únikem. Můžeme si představit rudou kůži na volantu kabrioletu, kterým se blížíme k cíli a hladce přitom splýváme s okolní krajinou. Silnice, po kterých jedeme, objímají smyslné tvary polí a údolí. Vůně Italian Leather hovoří jazykem Říma, jazykem spontánní milenecké siesty, jazykem spojujícím jednoduchost zeleného listu rajčete se sofistikovanou krásou kůže, myrhy a vanilky. Hovoří jazykem lucidního snu – nádherného vědomého snění. Úchvatně bohatá a dokonale vyladěná vonná kompozice Memo Italian Leather se v hlavě otevírá akordy rajčatových listů, vanilky a kůže. V srdci nalezneme labdanum, šalvěj, galbanum, opět listy rajčat a kořen kosatce. V základu se znovu objevuje vanilka a kůže, které doprovází tóny santalového dřeva, toluánského balzámu, sladké myrhy (opoponax), myrhy, benzoinu a pižma. Celkové aroma zasazuje vůni kůže do kompozice s balzámovými, aromatickými, zelenými a lehce pudrovitými stránkami, a nabízí tak unikátní a naprosto snový vonný zážitek. Parfémovaná voda Italian Leather se hodí na denní i večerní nošení po celý rok. Nejlépe si její vůni vychutnáte, když cítíte potřebu uniknout z každodennosti a na chvíli se krásně zasnít s otevřenýma očima. Memo Italian Leather si zamilují si zejména muži a ženy, kteří mají rádi vůni kůže, obzvláště v parfémech s originální kompozicí. Vyzkoušet by ji měl také každý, kdo dokáže ocenit skutečnou kvalitu a má rád, když za vůní, kterou nosí, stojí poutavá inspirace. Všechny parfémy značky Memo kromě své vysoké kvality a nezapomenutelnosti vůní zaujmou také balením. Italian Leather není výjimkou. Nezaměnitelný flakon s originálně ztvárněným motivem italské krajiny v atraktivní barevné kombinaci tmavožluté a tmavohnědé barvy doplňuje vysoce elegantní tmavá krabička. Vyzkoušejte parfém od značky, která čerpá inspiraci ze vzácných cestovatelských vzpomínek, a zamilujte se do vysoce zdařilé balzámové interpretace vůně kůže. Memo Italian Leather – vůně kůže, myrhy a vanilky v bohatém balzámovém obláčku denního snění.

Move for Life - Damien A. Joyner

Certified personal trainer Damien Joyner not only explodes the myth that growing older means growing weaker—he offers expert guidance and safe, simple, effective exercises to empower you to regain and maintain your strength and autonomy.I’m often asked the following question: “Do you train active agers any differently than their younger counterparts?” In short—I don’t. Their programming is based on their fitness level rather than their age, and just like their younger counterparts, they too possess the potential to move better or become stronger.Too often, society tells you: as you age, you''ll become frail. You''ll lose your mobility. It''s time to slow down. But at a time when nearly 50 million Americans are aged 65+, these assumptions are more harmful than ever—especially because they''re wrong.Joyner explains which exercises are the most important to prioritize for the movements you do every day—whether that’s standing up from a chair or getting groceries from the car into the cabinet. His exercises are:Straightforward, safe, effective, and evidence-basedClearly illustrated via helpful how-to photo guidesTailored to meet the concerns of active agers, like improving bone densityAppropriate for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of fitnessFor keeping fit and doing real-world, everyday tasks that help you stay active and engagedAs a fitness professional who specializes in training people who are 50+, Damien Joyner''s approach in Move for Life helps you build strength, increase flexibility, and work on your balance—all while dispelling any doubts you may have about your ability to stay active after midlife.

Food of the Italian South - Katie Parla

85 authentic recipes and 100 stunning photographs that capture the cultural and cooking traditions of the Italian South, from the mountains to the coast.In most cultures, exploring food means exploring history—and the Italian south has plenty of both to offer. The pasta-heavy, tomato-forward “Italian food” the world knows and loves does not actually represent the entire country; rather, these beloved and widespread culinary traditions hail from the regional cuisines of the south. Acclaimed author and food journalist Katie Parla takes you on a tour through these vibrant destinations so you can sink your teeth into the secrets of their rustic, romantic dishes. Parla shares rich recipes, both original and reimagined, along with historical and cultural insights that encapsulate the miles of rugged beaches, sheep-dotted mountains, meditatively quiet towns, and, most important, culinary traditions unique to this precious piece of Italy. With just a bite of the Involtini alla Piazzetta from farm-rich Campania, a taste of Giurgiulena from the sugar-happy kitchens of Calabria, a forkful of ’U Pan’ Cuott’ from mountainous Basilicata, a morsel of Focaccia from coastal Puglia, or a mouthful of Pizz e Foje from quaint Molise, you’ll discover what makes the food of the Italian south unique.Praise for Food of the Italian South“Parla clearly crafted every recipe with reverence and restraint, balancing authenticity with accessibility for the modern home cook.”—Fine Cooking “Parla’s knowledge and voice shine in this outstanding meditation on the food of South Italy from the Molise, Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, and Calabria regions. . . . This excellent volume proves that no matter how well-trodden the Italian cookbook path is, an expert with genuine curiosity and a well-developed voice can still find new material.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “There''s There’s Italian food, and then there''s there’s Italian food. Not just pizza, pasta, and prosciutto, but obscure recipes that have been passed down through generations and are only found in Italy… . . . and in this book.”—Woman’s Day (Best Cookbooks Coming Out in 2019)“[With] Food of the Italian South, Parla wanted to branch out from Rome and celebrate the lower half of the country.”—Punch “Acclaimed culinary journalist Katie Parla takes cookbook readers and home cooks on a culinary journey.”—The Parkersburg News and Sentinel

John Lewis - David Greenberg

New York Times Book Review Top 100 Books of 2024 Explore the “comprehensive and compelling” (Jon Meacham) biography of civil rights leader John Lewis, celebrated as “the conscience of Congress,” through a narrative that weaves together exclusive interviews, never-before-seen FBI files, and documents, offering profound insights into his significant role in American history and the civil rights movement.Born into poverty in rural Alabama, John Lewis rose to prominence in the civil rights movement, becoming second only to Martin Luther King, Jr. in his contributions. As a Freedom Rider, he played a crucial role in integrating bus stations across the South. Lewis was a prominent leader in the Nashville sit-in movement and delivered a historic speech at the 1963 March on Washington. As the youngest speaker and chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), he transformed it into a major civil rights organization. His legacy endures through the harrowing events at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, where he survived a brutal beating on “Bloody Sunday.” David Greenberg’s “authoritative…definitive biography” (David J. Garrow, Pulitzer Prize–winning author) follows Lewis’s journey beyond the civil rights era, highlighting his leadership in the Voter Education Project, where he helped enroll millions of African American voters across the South. This book uncovers the little-known story of his ascent in politics, first locally in Atlanta and then as a respected member of Congress. As part of the Democratic leadership, Lewis was admired on both sides of the aisle for his unwavering dedication to nonviolent integration and justice. Rich with new insights, Greenberg’s work captures John Lewis’s influential career through documents from numerous archives, interviews with 275 people who knew him, and rare footage of Lewis speaking from his hospital bed after Selma. John Lewis offers unparalleled details about his personal and professional relationships and stands as the definitive biography of a man whose heroism during the civil rights movement paved the way for a new era of freedom in America.
