Mosquito - Rowland White - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Captivating'' Daily Telegraph ''Stunning'' James Holland ''Superb'' Daily Express ''Wonderful'' John Nichol ''Remarkable'' RAF News _________________________________ Built of lightweight wood, powered by two growling Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, impossibly aerodynamic, headspinningly fast and armed to the teeth, the de Havilland Mosquito was the war-winning wonder that should never have existed: the aircraft the RAF didn''t think it wanted then couldn''t do without.Flying on operations barely eighteen months after a single prototype was ordered off the drawing board, it was the answer to its pilots'' prayers: a stunningly versatile warplane capable of leaving the Luftwaffe in its wake to attack when and where the enemy was least expecting it.Excelling as a spyplane, night-fighter and pathfinder for Bomber Command''s heavies the Mossie''s reputation was cemented by a series of daredevil bombing raids across occupied Europe, including on Berlin itself, where only surprise, speed and precision could ensure success.So when Churchill''s top secret Special Operations Executive needed to destroy the Gestapo HQ in the centre of downtown Copenhagen to prevent a devastating Nazi last stand that might prolong the war for many months, there was only one machine for the job. This is the story of that legendary aircraft told through that one impossible mission. Like Rowland White''s previous books, Mosquito is an unputdownable mix of utterly compelling storytelling, incredible human stories and fascinating technological detail, which sheds never-before-told light on a pivotal mission that helped bring the war to its bloody and brutal close. _________________________________Praise for Mosquito ’10/10'' Helen Fry ''Excellent ... provides thrilling accounts'' The Past ''A brilliant read'' Army Rumour Service Book Club ''A triumph'' Damcasters podcast ''A tremendous book ... can''t recommend it more highly'' We Have Ways podcast ''An addictive, moving and tenaciously researched tale ... his best book to date'' Flypast '' Mosquito reads like a thriller...

Not for Turning - Robin Harris - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Margaret Thatcher is one of the most iconic politicians of the twentieth century. With the possible exception of Winston Churchill, no other Prime Minister has had such an impact on modern British history. Like it or not, her radical social and economic policies have made Britain the country it is today. Without Margaret Thatcher there could have been no New Labour, no Tony Blair and no David Cameron.Now Robin Harris, for many years Thatcher''s speechwriter, trusted adviser and the draftsman of two volumes of her autobiography, has written the defining book about this indomitable woman. He tells her extraordinary life story, from humble beginnings above her father''s grocer''s shop in Grantham, her early days as one of the first women in Westminster who became known as ''Thatcher milk-snatcher'' during her days in the Ministry for Education and then as Prime Minister. We follow her through the ''Winter of Discontent'', the tribulations of the miners'' strike and the Falklands War. And Harris writes a stunning account of her exit from power and tells of her life after number 10.

Women and Leadership - Ngozi Okonjo Iweala - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For readers of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sheryl Sandberg and Mary Beard, Women and Leadership is a powerful call to arms about the lack of women at the top. ''Who better qualified to delve into this topic?'' Business Life _______________Women make up less than 10 per cent of national leaders. Behind this statistic lies a pattern of unequal access to power. Drawing on current research and in conversation with some of the world''s most powerful and interesting women about their lived experience, Gillard and Okonjo-Iweala explore gender bias and ask how we get more women into leadership roles. Speaking honestly and freely, women leaders such as Jacinda Ardern , Hillary Clinton , Michelle Bachelet and Theresa May talk about their ideas receiving less acknowledgement than their male colleagues'' ideas, what it''s like to be body-shamed in the media, and the things they wish they had done differently. Their stories reveal how gender and sexism affect perceptions of women as leaders, their pathways to power and the circumstances in which their leadership comes to an end. The result is a rare insight into life as a leader and a powerful call to arms for women everywhere.

As the only son of world-famous footballing legend George Best and his first wife Angie, a gorgeous English model, Calum was born into a world of privilege and opportunity.But his father’s fame came at a price, and George’s playing career was soon overshadowed by his playboy lifestyle and an increasing dependence on the comforting embrace of alcohol.

But as George’s alcoholism spiralled out of control, inebriation frequently led to violence and George’s self-destruction spilled over onto his son.Vivid, deeply moving, brave and honest, Second Best is the heart-breaking story of their relationship. It is a powerful tale of love and suffering, of an absent father and his wayward son, and of a family torn apart by addiction.

Hero of the Fleet - William Stone - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

William Stone died on 10 January 2009 aged 108. He received a hero''s funeral. Born in rural Devon, he joined the navy during the First World War, travelled the globe just before the British Empire''s light began to fade and saw action in some of the most significant sea battles of the Second World War. Afterwards, he returned to Devon to run a barber''s shop, an altogether more peaceable existence. As time passed, he became one of a dwindling number of men still alive who had served in the Great War. This meant that for some of the most momentous anniversaries clocked up recently - including the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War - William was a guest of honour. This autobiography bridges two wars and encompasses the remarkable episodes and adventures. It was an ordinary life lived in extraordinary times. He died at a time when the navy is attempting to embrace new ships that bear scant resemblance to those that William knew and face the challenges of a world that shrinks with every bold technological advance. His was a different kind of boldness. This is his astonishing story.
