  The narrative of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been told from many points of view, most significantly in the wave of books exploring the Warren Commission's findings and the conspiracy theories that followed. But for journalist Steven Beschloss, the story of Lee Harvey Oswald began with the troubled bond with his mother. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on public records, key interviews with Marguerite Oswald and other family members, and Lee's own writing and statements, Beschloss traces the origins of an American tragedy back to the lonely boy who couldn't find a way to belong and the unstable mother. Often left to his own devices, young Oswald read heavily, skipped school, and hatched plans to make his mark on the world. The Gunman and His Mother reveals the complex parental relationship that turned a boy into a killer responsible for a crime that changed American history. 
   
   
   
  This updated edition includes material from never-before-seen files containing Marguerite Oswald's personal writings, as well as a series of lawsuits Marguerite brought against various people. Not only do these documents complete the portrait of Lee's mother, but given her attacks on the media, conspiratorial mindset, and her sense of grievance, their inclusion sheds new light on our current political climate.

  Time Bomb - Irish Bombs English...

  Fifty years after the Guildford bombings, the case remains profoundly relevant today.  This new  edition is completely updated and revised with startling new material.  The Guildford Four endured 15 years behind bars for a crime they did not commit. The only evidence against them was their confessions extracted through intimidation and violence. Three Surrey police officers were acquitted of wrongdoing in 1993, but as this new edition reveals, there is testimony, never published, that corroborates evidence of far wider police malpractice.  Time Bomb was central to the reopening of the case of the Guildford Four when it was published in 1988 – exposing this egregious miscarriage of justice, and telling the chilling parallel story of the men actually responsible for the bombings, the London Active Service Unit, whose 1974-75 IRA campaign terrorised Britain.  Profoundly relevant today, as Michael Mansfield identifies in his introduction, the case of the Guildford Four is essentially the prototype of the corruption and concealment scandals which have beset the UK, from the Stephen Lawrence case through to the Post Office scandal, and asks how we can galvanise reform.  'Every twist and turn needs to be lived by the reader… page after page of compelling and mesmerising fact.  As you proceed, the magnitude of these events strikes a sense of burning injustice.'

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In 1983, humanity stood on the precipice of nuclear annihilation. Two superpowers—the United States and Soviet Union—held their fingers over the nuclear button, ready to unleash destruction that could end civilization forever. In this moment of unprecedented danger, one man held the fate of the world in his hands. 
  Oleg Gordievsky: The Spy Who Stopped Armageddon tells the extraordinary true story of the Soviet KGB agent who became history's most crucial double agent. Born into a distinguished intelligence family, Oleg was raised to serve the Soviet state without question. But when he witnessed the brutal suppression of Czechoslovakia in 1968, his worldview shattered forever. 
  Working as a double agent for British MI6 while maintaining his cover as a high-ranking KGB officer, Oleg provided intelligence that prevented nuclear war during the most dangerous moments of the Cold War. When NATO's "Able Archer 83" military exercise pushed the Soviets to the brink of launching a preemptive nuclear strike, it was Oleg's critical intelligence that averted global catastrophe. 
  This gripping narrative reveals the human cost of heroism—the family destroyed, the life sacrificed, and the moral complexity of betraying one's homeland to save humanity. From the shadowy world of Cold War espionage to a daring escape operation that reads like a thriller, this audiobook exposes how close the world came to ending and celebrates the courage of one man who chose conscience over country. 
  A story of sacrifice, redemption, and the thin line between heroism and treason.
