  The true and extraordinary story of one of the last surviving women to have worked in codebreaking at both Bletchley Park and the Pentagon. 
  Born one hundred years ago, Betty Webb MBE, LOH (Legion of Honour) has had a ringside seat to history. After graduating from school, she faced the usual limited opportunities for employment on offer to women at the time. However, with the war in full swing, fate intervened and in 1941, wanting to play her part in the war effort, Betty joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (Women’s Army). 
  After being interviewed by an intelligence officer, she found herself at Euston station with her kit-bag, a travel warrant in her pocket and instructions to get off the train at Bletchley Park. 
  Between 1941 and 1945 Betty played a vital role in the top-secret efforts being made to decipher the secret communications of the Germans and later the Japanese. In 1945, as other members of the forces returned home from the war in Europe, she was sent to the Pentagon and was in Washington DC when the atomic bombs fell and when Eisenhower announced the end of the war. 
  Betty was unable to reveal the true nature of her work, even to her parents, until years later. In this fascinating book, she revisits the key moments of her life and recounts the incredible stories from her time at Bletchley Park.

  Whitehead shows how Christians harm their neighbors when they embrace the idols of power, fear, and violence.

  ‘An important new voice’ DAVID YIP, actor 
  ‘A vital resource’ PEYVAND SADEGHIAN, actor and writer 
  ‘Important and poignant…A brilliant read’ HELEN TSE MBE, author of Sweet Mandarin 
  What does it mean to exist at the intersection of cultures? 
  Though a citizen of the UK, Daisy J. Hung is regularly mistaken for a tourist, asked where she’s really from or greeted with Ni hao on the assumption she speaks Mandarin. These experiences serve as a reminder that, no matter how she moves through the world, she is often seen as an outsider. 
  In I Am Not a Tourist, Daisy explores what it means to be British Chinese today, and the social, historical and political factors that have got us here. Fighting narrow and dehumanising stereotypes, of Chinese people excelling at school, or being devoid of original thought or leadership, or having authoritarian parents, she encourages readers to interrogate their assumptions and interpretations of ‘Chinese’ identity. 
  In the wake of the upsurge of anti-Asian racism, triggered by the racialisation of the COVID-19 pandemic as the ‘China virus’, ‘China plague’ and ‘Kung flu’, I Am Not a Tourist exposes the ongoing racism and inequalities that British Chinese communities face, and forms an urgent call for change. 
  'If you’re looking to expand your understanding of the community, this book is an essential addition to your reading list’ LORD SONNY LEONG CBE 
  *Audiobook narrated by Katie Leung (Harry Potter) 
  In this riveting autobiography, Daisy J. Hung delves into the personal and cultural aspects of her life, challenging the stereotypes and prejudices that often plague the British Chinese community. Her memoirs, a blend of non-fiction and biography, offer a unique perspective on immigration and emigration, and the complexities of regional and ethnic identities.
