  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this volume English women have begun the long haul to be treated as equals, even though some see others as beneath them.  Class still has its boundaries and its distinctions. Our authors show that the decade brings much to revel in but also much to worry our hearts.

  Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil: A Holocaust Chronicle 
  Amidst the darkest chapter of human history, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil: A Holocaust Chronicle by Michael Green delivers a harrowing yet necessary exploration of how bureaucracy, ideology, and moral erosion transformed ordinary individuals into architects of genocide. 
  Drawing upon extensive historical records, survivor testimonies, and perpetrator confessions, this meticulously researched narrative brings to life the events leading to and following the infamous Wannsee Conference of January 1942. In the opulence of a lakeside villa, fifteen high-ranking Nazi officials calmly planned the systematic extermination of Europe's Jewish population—an event that marked the acceleration of the Final Solution. Through the eyes of both historical figures and composite characters, the book illuminates the chilling banality of evil, where mass murder became an administrative routine carried out with precision and detachment. 
  From the cold efficiency of the Einsatzgruppen massacres in the Eastern Front to the horrific mechanization of death in Treblinka, Sobibor, and Auschwitz, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil follows the bureaucrats, soldiers, and collaborators who orchestrated genocide. The novelization of these events does not seek to sensationalize, but rather to deepen our understanding of how seemingly normal people could commit unimaginable crimes. 
  Unflinching, deeply researched, and ethically grounded, this book is an essential read for historians, educators, and anyone seeking to understand the mechanisms of human evil. With unwavering historical accuracy and a narrative that grips the reader from the first page, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil stands as both a tribute to the victims and a warning to future generations.

  Winner of the Historical Fiction Company's “Highly Recommended” award of excellence, The Things We’ll Never Have is part mystery, part psychological drama set in 1960s Italy about family, friendship, and the lies that bind us. 
  The brightest things in Everleigh’s otherwise dull days in 1964 London are colors, fashion she’s not brave enough to wear, and the idea of the enchanted life she’ll inherit when she marries Gualtiero. But her dreams are crushed when her beloved mysteriously vanishes before the wedding. Everleigh travels to Italy, convinced he’s returned to his hometown, but when she tracks down the man everyone knows as Gualtiero, she has never seen him before. The question is no longer where her fiancé is, but who he is.  
  Determined to uncover the truth, Everleigh teams up with two unlikely friends. Soon, she unlocks a shocking truth about Gualtiero that propels the three women on a collision course that will shatter everything they thought they knew about family—and themselves. 
  “An arresting and unpredictable tale of family.” Kirkus Reviews
