A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK''Delivered with flamboyance, it features a sparkling cast of chancers'' KATJA HOYER, Daily Telegraph 5* review''Page-turning . . . a sizzling high-stakes tale'' JAMES HOLLAND''This book might read like the screenplay of a gripping movie, yet every word is accurate and verified'' ANDREW ROBERTS ''Giles Milton is a phenomenon'' DAN SNOW''Another rollercoaster ride from Giles Milton. Endlessly surprising'' ANTHONY HOROWITZFrom internationally bestselling historian Giles Milton comes the remarkable true story of the Allies'' secret mission to wartime Moscow. In the summer of 1941, as Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin''s forces faced a catastrophic defeat which would make the Allies'' liberation of Europe virtually impossible. To avert this disaster, Britain and America mobilized an elite team of remarkable diplomats with the mission of keeping the Red Army in the war. Into to the heart of Stalin''s Moscow Roosevelt sent Averell Harriman, the fourth richest man in America and his brilliant young daughter Kathy. Churchill dispatched the reckless but brilliant bon vivant Archie Clark Kerr - and occasionally himself - to negotiate with the Kremlin''s wiliest operators. Together, this improbable group grappled with the ingenious, mercurial Stalin to make victory possible. But they also discovered that the Soviet dictator had a terrifying masterplan for the post-war world. Based on astonishing unpublished diaries, letters and secret reports, The Stalin Affair reveals troves of new material about the most unlikely coalition in history.

Vedeli ste, že Hitler užíval kokaín? Že Stalin vykradol banku? Že telo Charlieho Chaplina po jeho smrti ukradli a požadovali zaň výkupné?Giles Milton je majster beletrizovanej histórie. Jeho Bizarné historky z dejín, napísané osobitým, pútavým štýlom, ponúkajú stovku fascinujúcich historiek, čriepkov histórie, ktoré pôsobia ako výplody spisovateľovej fantázie, ale každé slovo na nich je pravdivé.Hrdinami historiek sú osobnosti ako Hiroo Onoda, posledný japonský vojak, ktorý bojoval v druhej svetovej vojne ešte v roku 1974, Agatha Christie, ktorá sa v roku 1926 na jedenásť dní záhadne stratila, alebo Werner Franz, stevard, ktorý prežil pád Hindenburgu, keď vzducholoď v roku 1937 zachvátili plamene. Bizarné historky z dejín prinášajú aj odpoveď na to, kto zjedol posledného dronta, kto v skutočnosti zabil Rasputina a prečo má seržant Stubby štyri nohy.Týmito faktograficky precíznymi historkami Giles Milton ukazuje v novom svetle rozličné neslávne udalosti a mnohé rázovité postavy (a zvieratá) z dejín, ktoré spoločne tvoria pestrú galériu špiónov, lotrov, kanibalov, dobrodruhov a otrokov naprieč dvadsiatimi storočiami a šiestimi svetadielmi.Z anglického originálu Fascinating Footnotes from History (John Murray, London 2015) preložil Milan Kopecký.

Kniha - autor Laurence Rees, 528 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Two tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years' work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history. Hitler's charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin's regimented rule by fear, and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin's change in behaviour in response to events. But as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler's case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.

On the fiftieth anniversary of Waterloo the song, not the battle - one super-fan sits down to listen to the ABBA Gold album from start to finish, looking back over the half-century he has spent in the company of ABBA's music, and attempting to unlock the secrets of its hold on him and on all of us. Partly a highly personal work of musical criticism, partly a history ABBA told throughcolourfulvignettes, and partly the record of Giles time spent trampling around damply in Sweden,braving the hardcore fans on ABBA Day in the Netherlands and somewhat reluctantly attendinga sing-along screening Mamma Mia, this is Giles mission to get to the very heart of ABBA. Starting out in the glam rock Seventies, its pages will inevitably contain possibly unwise quantities of satin and Spandex, and also descriptions of *trigger warning* cat dresses.Nineteen tracks yield nineteen chapters, from 'Dancing Queen' to 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', to 'Take A Chance on Me', and onwards, eventually circling back (as all roads from ABBA eventually do) to 'Waterloo', the album's final track. For Giles Smith, listening to each song gives rise to thoughts on pop music and the ways it attaches itself to us (and we to it), autobiographical reflections on the times, and ruminations on ABBA themselves - their story, their phenomenon, and the evolution of their presence in our lives. It's a book about growing old, and the things that never do. And it's a book about fashion, snobbery, authenticity, critical judgement, the passage of time and the triumphant ability of truly great pop music to transcend all of those things forever. But it's also a book about the development of one of popsgreatest and best-loved albums,and an unabashed tribute to the power of a major-to-minor modulation and a well-placed glissando.

Teprve pád komunistických režimů a aspoň částečné odkrytí dosud tajných archivů a svědeckých vyjádření umožňují pohled na úděsnou realitu sovětské historie, zakrývanou po celá desetiletí kamufláží lživé propagandy. Doslova apokalyptickou podobu má v tomto kontextu příběh vražedné mocenské rivality revolučních vůdců Stalina a Trockého. Před čtenáři se otevírá strhující řetěz zrady, podlosti, zločinů, násilností, mučení a skoro nepochopitelné nenávisti - a to doslova až za hrob.

Že Stalin vykradol banku? Že telo Charlieho Chaplina po jeho smrti ukradli a požadovali zaň výkupné? Giles Milton je majster beletrizovanej histórie. Jeho Bizarné historky z dejín, napísané osobitým, pútavým štýlom, ponúkajú stovku fascinujúcich historiek, čriepkov histórie, ktoré pôsobia ako výplody spisovateľovej fantázie, ale každé slovo na nich je pravdivé. Hrdinami historiek sú osobnosti ako Hiroo Onoda, posledný japonský vojak, ktorý bojoval v druhej svetovej vojne ešte v roku 1974, Agatha Christie, ktorá sa v roku 1926 na jedenásť dní záhadne stratila, alebo Werner Franz, stevard, ktorý prežil pád Hindenburgu, keď vzducholoď v roku 1937 zachvátili plamene.

Ukrajinští nacionalisté, známí jako "banderovci", kteří bojovali za ukrajinskou samostatnost a sjednocení národních území do jednoho státu, jsou dodnes horkým tématem, které nepřestává budit vášně. Jedni je považují za legitimní bojovníky za svobodu, hájící se zbraní v ruce oprávněné nároky na nezávislost, zatímco druzí je vnímají bezmála jako extremistické šovinisty, ba teroristy, kteří se při uskutečňování svého velkého snu o vybudování Velké Ukrajiny neváhali spolčit s ďáblem a nezastavili se před ničím. Významný petrohradský historik Alexander Gogun, který v současné době působí na Svobodné univerzitě Berlín, ve své knize s výmluvným názvem Mezi Hitlerem a Stalinem na základě archivních dokumentů, rozhovorů s účastníky událostí, pamětí a jiných, mnohdy dosud nezveřejněných pramenů mapuje okolnosti zrodu, vývoj, cíle a prostředky, jakož i ideologické proměny ukrajinského nacionalismu od jeho počátků až po druhou polovinu dvacátého století, přičemž se metodologicky drží zásady "padni komu padni". Zevrubně se věnuje činnosti Organizace ukrajinských nacionalistů a její vojenské odnože vzniklé během druhé světové války, tedy Ukrajinské povstalecké armády, ambivalentnímu vztahu ukrajinských povstalců s nacisty, s nimiž uzavřeli taktické spojenectví, aby proti nim následně vedli osvobozenecký boj, etnickým čistkám a masakrům polského obyvatelstva, zápasu Ukrajinské povstalecké armády s polskou Zemskou armádou a v neposlední řadě boji proti Sovětům. Autor také detailně mapuje protiukrajinské akce sovětské strany a popisuje speciální operace zaměřené na likvidaci nebo polapení ukrajinských vůdců, například Jevhena Konovalce, Romana Šuchevyče, Vasyla Kuka či Stepana Bandery. Monografie je určena jak pro odborníky, tak pro zájemce o historii z řad laiků, kteří kontroverznímu fenoménu "banderovců", opředenému množstvím mýtů a polopravd, chtějí lépe porozumět.

An electrifying re-examination of one of the twentieth century''s greatest unsung power players, from the bestselling author of A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE''Superb and fascinating. I can''t recommend it more'' LADY ANNE GLENCONNER, bestselling author of Lady in Waiting''Fascinating and revelatory, written with great aplomb, insight and shrewd analysis. A triumph'' WILLIAM BOYD''An incredible story, beautifully told, of a remarkable woman whose political influence spanned Churchill to Clinton. Quite a woman, quite a read'' ALASTAIR CAMPBELLWhen Pamela Churchill Harriman died in 1997, the obituaries that followed were scathing - and often downright sexist. Written off as a social climber, her glamorous social life and infamous erotic adventures overshadowed her true legacy. Much of what she did behind the scenes to shape the twentieth century, on both sides of the Atlantic, remained invisible. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how Harriman left an indelible mark on the world today.There is practically no-one in twentieth-century politics, culture and fashion whose lives she did not touch. Her influence began at age twenty, when her father-in-law, Winston Churchill, engaged her as a "secret weapon" during World War II, wining, dining and seducing Americans over to the British cause against Hitler. It continued later in the US, where she hand-picked Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulted him to the presidency. It extended further, over five decades and two continents, influencing figures like the Kennedys, Nelson Mandela, Truman Capote, Gianni Agnelli, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem and Frank Sinatra.Written with the novelistic richness and investigative rigour that only Sonia Purnell could bring to this story full of sex, power, yachts, palaces and fabulous clothes, Kingmaker sets out Harriman''s rightful place at the heart of recent history.''A vivid, glittering, sexy, scintillating, beautifully written portrait of a woman who drove 20th century history even as history was driving her'' LIZA MUNDY, bestselling author of The Sisterhood and Code Girls''Meticulously researched and served up with great panache, this is the biography that Pamela Harriman so richly deserves'' GILES MILTON, author of The Stalin Affair: The Impossible Alliance that Won the War''A deliciously seductive read'' DENISE KIERNAN, bestselling author of The Girls of Atomic City, The Last Castle and We Gather Together

Využívá přitom dobových pramenů i svědectví přímých účastníků.

A commemorative 75th anniversary edition of Tolkien’s classic book, including a revised introduction, a map, a copy of Tolkien’s unpublished short story which he expanded for publication, his notes for an aborted sequel, and the original first edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes.Farmer Giles of Ham did not look like a hero. He was fat and red-bearded and enjoyed a slow, comfortable life.Then one day a rather deaf and short-sighted giant blundered on to his land. More by luck than skill, Farmer Giles managed to scare him away. The people of the village cheered: Farmer Giles was a hero.His reputation spread far and wide across the kingdom. So it was natural that when the dragon Chrysophylax visited the area it was Farmer Giles who was expected to do battle with it!
