  The Tiger from Poznań

  Richard Siegert

  In the Second World War, Poznan was a key river crossing and railway junction on the Polish-German border. When the alarm was given indicating the Red Army's approach in January 1945, the city's 80-100,000 German civilians were speedily evacuated, leaving a garrison of some 15,000 men, mostly poorly-armed infantry, to face the rigors of a siege conducted by a massively superior and ruthless enemy anxious to acquire this transport center, which was vital for the advance on Berlin. 
   
   
   
  This is the account of Eastern Front veteran Richard Siegert, the gunner and later commander of the defenders' sole Tiger tank. Since the death of the driver in a futile attempt to escape from a PoW camp in Russia just after the end of the war, Siegert is the only survivor of that crew able to pass its record on to posterity. His account details how the crew fought gallantly against impossible odds, even when the Tiger was immobilized and could only act as a stationary antitank gun post or pillbox during the last heroic days' fighting for the citadel.

  We Two From Heaven - A Memoir

  James Whyle

  'A boldly imagined and beautifully written memoir. Whyle's prose is finely tuned, unflinching in its approach to painful subjects, but also laced with wry humour and the sheer delight of being alive.' – Ivan Vladislavic
  We Two from Heaven is a singular memoir, a four-part fugue on the tricks and traps of memory, a shuffling of the cards of time. Episodes from the early life of writer James Whyle are interwoven with the letters of his father from the Western Front during the First World War. Their formative experiences – war, conscription, injury, desertion – flash by, juxtaposed, as if in counterpoint.
  Upending the reader's expectations of a memoir, Whyle then explores the violence and madness of apartheid society as the narrator passes through boarding school and university and takes his first steps to become a writer. Raw and rhythmic, lyrical and caustic, this is an unsparing, formally inventive dissection of human vanities and illusions.
  At the end of history, on the shores of a blue bay, the voices of the past can be heard as we await the arrival of the barbarians – or the baboons, whoever comes first.

  The End of Heaven - Disaster and...

  Sidney Dekker

  In this unique book, Sidney Dekker tackles a largely unexplored dilemma. Our scientific age has equipped us ever better to explain why things go wrong. But this increasing sophistication actually makes it harder to explain why we suffer. Accidents and disasters have become technical problems without inherent purpose. When told of a disaster, we easily feel lost in the steely emptiness of technical languages of engineering or medicine. Or, in our drive to pinpoint the source of suffering, we succumb to the hunt for a scapegoat, possibly inflicting even greater suffering on others around us. How can we satisfactorily deal with suffering when the disaster that caused it is no more than the dispassionate sum of utterly mundane, imperfect human decisions and technical failures? Broad in its historical sweep and ambition, The End of Heaven is also Dekker's most personal book to date.

  Early eighteenth century England saw the criminal element bargaining with magistrates and lawyers to be released or receive lenient sentences. Neither party could be trusted and the situation grew worse. Enter famed author Henry Fielding, who had a strong social conscience and served as a magistrate. In addition to this treatise, he began a register of convicted criminals, and recruited six full-time, paid constables - known colloquially as "The Bow Street Runners" and hailed as the forerunners of the modern police force. - Summary by Lynne Thompson

  What does success mean? When is enough enough? Is Lady Macbeth right to suggest that only those with the 'illness' of ambition achieve the highest goals? Fair or Foul considers this powerful human phenomenon and its place in our lives.
  
  'A welcome blast of clear thinking about ambition and how we choose to lead our lives' Alastair Campbell
  
  
  From the success of the first US woman Vice President, Kamala Harris, the obstacles she faced and the possibilities that still lie ahead, to Boris Johnson's young aspirations to be 'world king' and the pathological intensity of his ambition, Stern considers the careers and personal lives of politicians, sports stars and business people, to name a few, to illuminate this strange and powerful driver. Discover how ambition and success work together, how attitudes have shifted over time, and how gender roles have an impact on our goals.
  
  Incisive, contemporary and accessible, this book is for anyone who is looking for a change of direction or emphasis on how to move forward. It will also provide consolation, amusement and plenty of insightful meditations on the complex nature of ambition.
  
  
  'Is this a bestseller which I see before me? It deserves to be. Fascinating exploration of the beast of ambition and whether we can tame it or be devoured by it' Richard Herring
  
  'A brilliantly readable and inspiring study of our love-hate relationship with ambition' Viv Groskop
  
  'Wise, compelling . . . and dare I say it, ambitious in its ultimate aim, it encourages readers to ask profound questions about meaning and purpose' Sathnam Sanghera
  
  'This is a book which is rich, witty and deeply thoughtful (not unlike a Shakespeare play). Stefan Stern has created a timely book about the meaning of life and work out of a timeless work of art. It's brilliant' Julia Hobsbawm
  
  'A fascinating, witty and clear-headed investigation of the importance and the dangers of striving for more' Oliver Burkeman
