Summary

Royal Executions delves into the dramatic and often grim history of monarchs who met their end not through natural causes or battlefield defeat, but by execution. This exploration of power, politics, and the precarious nature of leadership examines instances where kings and queens faced the ultimate punishment. Understanding these pivotal moments offers insights into the dynamics of monarchy, political executions, and the often brutal realities of political power. The book reveals how such executions were rarely simple acts of justice, but complex political maneuvers that reshaped power structures and national identities.

 
The book investigates specific case studies, such as Charles I of England and Louis XVI of France, alongside lesser-known examples from both European and Asian history. It analyzes the political climate, legal proceedings, and immediate aftermath of each execution. By drawing from primary sources like trial transcripts and contemporary accounts, Royal Executions presents a fresh perspective, viewing royal executions as integral components of broader political and social transformations, examining the long-term implications and influence on political thought and social structures.

    “With a woman’s ambition to lead comes the risk of being undermined, maligned, side-lined or even physically attacked simply because women are still viewed as “the weaker sex” … being a relatively young female leader in a patriarchal society is fraught with challenges; the first of which is actually getting into office.” 
      
    This captivating book is a testament of the power that lies within every woman. Linda urges every reader to embrace their own dreams, overcome obstacles, and create a brighter future for themselves and their communities. 
     She tells the story of her journey from her upbringing as a child, to a chance encounter with a classmate who made her realise that just putting oneself forward is half the battle in becoming a leader. Linda’s story is intertwined with political events in Zambia from 2011 to 2021, which saw the country on the path towards democratic decline, and the role she and other activists played trying to restore Zambia’s democracy. 
      
    Her story touches on difficult topics such as losing a child, mental health, and the sexism faced by women in leadership. It ends with a list of lessons that she has learnt over the years and a call to arms for more women to take up the call to leadership.

    She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, sweets were rationed, mums stayed home and kids played on bombsites. Seventy years on, everything has changed utterly - except the Queen herself, ageing far more gracefully than the fractious nation over which she so lightly presides. 
    How did we get from there to here in a single reign? To cancel culture, anti-vaxxers and Twitter feeds? Matthew Engel tells the story - starting with the years from Churchill to Thatcher - with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail.

    The Remarkable Story of How One Man Defied the Odds 
      
    At 18, Paul Wood thought he had lost everything. He had committed an act he knew would send him to prison for many years. To a young man like Paul, it might as well have been for the rest of his life. 
    Plunged into a nightmarish world of extreme violence, solitary confinement, gang allegiances, drugs, vindictive wardens and regular stabbings, Paul spent the next 11 years confined in some of New Zealand's toughest jails.  
    Based on an account of his experiences he wrote while still inside, How to Escape from Prison chronicles Paul's road to redemption and a new life as a doctor of psychology, helping others strive to fulfil their potential and develop the resilience to flourish, even in adversity. This is a gripping read about a man who sank to the depths of despair, before scaling the heights of true freedom. 
    'Paul's transformation is unbelievable. We are sometimes brought up to think a zebra can't change its stripes. Paul Wood's story is proof that anyone can change. It gives you great courage that you can do anything.'
