Based on a collection of photographs and propagana publications
discovered in 1946 by a member of the Allied Control Commission,
this scarce book portrays the rise of Adolf Hitler and the the
NSDAP. It graphically illustrates how the Nazis used crude
rhetoric, floods of staged images, and incessant propaganda to
deceive and motivate the German people, dispirited by the
aftermath of the First World War. Many of these unique photos had
never been published before.

TRUSTED MOLE
by Milos Stankovic
A dramatic tale of
life on the edge in war-ravaged Bosnia by the son of Serb emigres,
a major in the British Army Parachute Regiment. Because of his
fluency in Serbo-Croat, Stankovic acted as the high-powered
go-between for General Mike Rose, commander of Britain's UN force,
and the Bosnian Serb leaders Mladic and Karadzic (who hated each
other). He played a crucial part in securing the release of UN
hostages and in establishing ceasefire accords. His life was
constantly at risk, nevertheless, with Rose's full support, he
smuggled families (Serb, Croat or Muslim) out of besieged
Sarajevo.
Whilst the Americans were fighting in Vietnam, another struggle
was taking place in the Middle East. The Sultanate of Oman guards
the entrance to the Arabian Gulf, and thus controls the movement of
oil from that region. In the 1960s and 70s the Communists tried to
seize this artery and, had they succeeded, the consequences for the
West would have been disastrous. In the Service of the Sultan tells,
first-hand, the largely unknown story of a small number of British
officers who led Muslim soldiers in this anti-insurgency war which
has shaped today’s Gulf. The book describes the operations of
irregular forces and the SAS, as well as action in the air and at
sea.
