  'Tony Rogers consistently reveals new material regarding WW2 operations, in this case with the captivating account of an LRDG hero.' —Ex-Lance-corporal X, QGM, author of The SAS and LRDG Roll of Honour, 1941-47 
   
   
   
  John Olivey, an officer in the Long Range Desert Group, saw action in the Western Desert, where he was awarded the Military Cross; he fought in the Dodecanese, for which he was decorated a second time; and saw active service on mainland Greece, and in Istria. In autumn 1943, he was deployed to the Aegean and in October tasked with leading 'Olforce' in an ill-conceived operation to take the island of Levitha. Of some fifty LRDG, he was one of only seven to avoid capture. During the battle for Leros in November, he commanded X2 Patrol at Clidi, a key hilltop position. After British forces on Leros capitulated, Olivey was taken prisoner. 
   
   
   
  While being marched through Athens with hundreds of other prisoners of war, he escaped. Aided by local residents, Olivey remained in hiding in German-occupied Athens. It would be more than four months before he was at last able to return to Allied territory. During this time, he wrote a compelling, brutally honest, and often amusing personal account, describing his involvement in what was an eventful and momentous chapter in the history of the LRDG. This is his story.

  Understanding Deleuze

  Philippe Mengue

  The name Deleuze is associated with strange concepts (desiring machines, ritornello, war machine or lines of flight). However, these impressive notions can be explained simply, once we have the intuition that organizes his work. This work gives us access to an understanding of the thread that ties Deleuze's thought together, particularly through literary characters such as Bartleby, Lancelot and the Princess of Cleves. Deleuze thus appears as non-dogmatic, himself open to variation and to the invention of a multiplicity of possible meanings of life.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What happens when a 14-year-old boy with nothing to lose defies the entire FBI? 
  Meet Colton Harris-Moore - the notorious "Barefoot Bandit" who became America's most audacious teenage criminal. Born into a broken home on a remote island, abandoned by his father and neglected by his alcoholic mother, Colton began his criminal career stealing bread to survive. 
  But this wasn't your ordinary delinquent story. By age 17, Colton had masterminded 67 crimes across three countries, stealing houses, cars, yachts, and most incredibly - airplanes he learned to fly using only video games and manuals. Despite never receiving a single flying lesson, he piloted stolen aircraft across American states, leaving authorities baffled and the public mesmerized. 
  For two and a half years, this barefoot genius with supernatural escape abilities exhausted federal agents, special forces, and international law enforcement. He lived in luxury homes like a ghost, disappeared into forests for months, and transformed from a hunted criminal into a folk hero with thousands of devoted fans. 
  The Plane Thief reveals the shocking true story behind the teenager who redefined criminal audacity. From his tragic beginnings in a dilapidated trailer to his dramatic capture in international waters, witness how circumstances can forge both monsters and legends. 
  A gripping tale of survival, rebellion, and the thin line between victim and perpetrator - this is the most insane adolescence in modern criminal history.
