  The extraordinary story of a headmaster turned cryptographer, and our top-secret war with the Kaiser's Reich. 
    
  On 11 August 1914, just days after war had been declared, Australian Captain J.T. Richardson boarded a German merchant vessel fleeing Melbourne's Port Phillip and audaciously seized a top-secret naval codebook. The fledgling Australian Navy had an opportunity to immediately change the course of the war. But what exactly had they found? Enter the Australian code breakers ... 
  Recruited by savvy top brass, maths whizz and German speaker Frederick Wheatley worked night and day to fathom the basic principles of the code and start tracking the German Navy's powerful East Asia Squadron, led by the brilliant Maximilian von Spee. Soon Melbourne was a hub of international Allied intelligence.  
  This is the untold story of how a former Australian headmaster and his mostly female team cracked one of Germany's most complex codes, paving the way for the greatest Allied naval victory of World War I.

  “Lost Inheritance” is a compelling narrative that begins in the mid-18th century with the establishment of the Khumalo kingdom and follows the colonization of Rhodesia. 
  It provides a detailed account of the Holl family, prominent engravers in England during Queen Victoria’s reign, and the life of Harry Patrick Holl, who became a successful wheat farmer in Bulawayo. 
  The story unfolds to reveal the challenges faced by Harry’s biracial children and the author, Obert Holl, born in the mid-1940s in Rhodesia. The book portrays the family’s enduring struggles under colonialism and the loss of inheritance due to societal pressures and racial injustices. 
  Obert Holl shares his journey of overcoming adversity, rising to significant positions in both colonial and post-independence governments, and becoming a pioneer in the accounting field in Harare. “Lost Inheritance” is a testament to resilience and triumph over formidable odds.

  Flowers Guns and Money - Joel...

  A fascinating historical account of a largely forgotten statesman, who pioneered a form of patriotism that left an indelible mark on the early United States. 
   
  Joel Roberts Poinsett’s (1779–1851) brand of self-interested patriotism illuminates the paradoxes of the antebellum United States. He was a South Carolina investor and enslaver, a confidant of Andrew Jackson, and a secret agent in South America who fought surreptitiously in Chile’s War for Independence. He was an ambitious Congressman and Secretary of War who oversaw the ignominy of the Trail of Tears and orchestrated America’s longest and costliest war against Native Americans, yet also helped found the Smithsonian. In addition, he was a naturalist, after whom the poinsettia—which he appropriated while he was serving as the first US ambassador to Mexico—is now named. 
    
  As Lindsay Schakenbach Regele shows in Flowers, Guns, and Money, Poinsett personified a type of patriotism that emerged following the American Revolution, one in which statesmen served the nation by serving themselves, securing economic prosperity and military security while often prioritizing their own ambitions and financial interests. Whether waging war, opposing states’ rights yet supporting slavery, or pushing for agricultural and infrastructural improvements in his native South Carolina, Poinsett consistently acted in his own self-interest. By examining the man and his actions, Schakenbach Regele reveals an America defined by opportunity and violence, freedom and slavery, and nationalism and self-interest.
