Sinopse

Roger Lundgren, "Royal Roger", is one of the world's leading royal experts and has worked closely with European royal houses for 20 years. He has been affiliated with Swedish Television (SVT) as an expert commentator for all major royal events since 2010 and has written four royal biographies.

On the surface, his life appears to be a dream come true. From growing up as a bullied boy in a small northern town, to achieving international success in his greatest passion — Europe's royal houses. But life hasn't all been champagne and palaces. Interwoven with glamorous assignments and close relationships with world royalty, his life has contained streaks of darkness and deep trauma. 

Roger's autobiography Outsider is a moving yet hopeful book about rape, suicide, mental illness, and the journey toward a life of dignity. 

The book was written together with Paulina Bylén.

    God’s Autobiography will tell you God’s story from creation to the end time as though it is Him telling it, based on insights that I believe that God has given me.  These insights include new interpretations of the Bible that will strengthen your belief and amazingly come together to provide beautiful answers to many of the great questions that mankind has struggled with: why He created the universe and mankind, why bad things happen to good people, where cognition, depression and dementia come from, what the Bible is, how God speaks to you, how to become a child of God no matter what religion you practice, and how to interpret “The Book of Revelation”.“I am writing this book to you my children so that you will know me before the final tribulations of the last days.  You can’t imagine what it is like to be all powerful and always exist. I can do anything I want, but life seemed meaningless.  I was lonely and unloved. Love is only real if it is freely given by a cognitive being like me that has a choice to love me or not. Then it came to me that what I was missing was a family. I need a family that I can love, nourish and grow. Not a created family, but a family that is comprised of independent spiritual beings that can love me or not. A loving family will be my objective! “

    Until April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth was one of the most famous actors of his time, and President Abraham Lincoln had even watched him perform. But his most significant performance at a theater did not take place on the stage. That night, Booth became one of history’s most infamous assassins when he assassinated President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. 
    	In 1880, Garfield ran as a Republican for president, and one of his supporters was a man named Charles Guiteau, who wrote and circulated a speech called “Garfield vs. Hancock” that aimed to rally support for the Republican candidate. Though few knew it, Guiteau’s family had already deemed him insane and attempted to keep him committed in an asylum, only to have him manage an escape from confinement. Garfield went on to narrowly edge Winfield Scott Hancock in the election, and Guiteau, harboring delusions of grandeur, believed he had helped tip the scales in Garfield’s favor.  
    President James Garfield had been assassinated just 20 years earlier, but McKinley didn’t worry about presidential security or his own safety, and that was the case in Buffalo. McKinley’s insistence on greeting the public and shaking hands allowed Czolgosz to walk up to him on September 6, 1901 at a public reception in the Temple of Music on the expo grounds and shoot him point blank, with one bullet grazing the president and another lodging in his abdomen.  
    In many ways, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his young family were the perfect embodiment of the ‘60s. The decade began with a sense of idealism, personified by the attractive Kennedy, his beautiful and fashionable wife Jackie, and his young children. Months into his presidency, Kennedy exhorted the country to reach for the stars, calling upon the nation to send a man to the Moon and back by the end of the decade. But the idealism and optimism of the decade was quickly shattered, starting with Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

    Inside the Gas Chambers - Eight...

    Slomo Venezia was born into a poor Jewish-Italian community living in Thessaloniki, Greece. At first, the occupying Italians protected his family; but when the Germans invaded, the Venezias were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and sisters disappeared on arrival, and he learned, at first with disbelief, that they had almost certainly been gassed. Given the chance to earn a little extra bread, he agreed to become a 'Sonderkommando', without realizing what this entailed. He soon found himself a member of the 'special unit' responsible for removing the corpses from the gas chambers and burning their bodies. 
     
     
     
    Dispassionately, he details the grim round of daily tasks, evokes the terror inspired by the man in charge of the crematoria, 'Angel of Death' Otto Moll, and recounts the attempts made by some of the prisoners to escape, including the revolt of October 1944. 
     
     
     
    It is usual to imagine that none of those who went into the gas chambers at Auschwitz ever emerged to tell their tale—but, as a member of a 'Sonderkommando', Shlomo Venezia was given this horrific privilege. He knew that, having witnessed the unspeakable, he in turn would probably be eliminated by the SS in case he ever told his tale. He survived: this is his story.

    The Watchmakers - A Powerful WW2...

    Harry Lenga was born to a family of Chassidic Jews in Kozhnitz, Poland. The proud sons of a watchmaker, Harry and his two brothers, Mailekh and Moishe, studied their father's trade at a young age. Upon the German invasion of Poland, when the Lenga family was upended, Harry and his brothers never anticipated that the tools acquired from their father would be the key to their survival. 
     
     
      
    Under the most devastating conditions imaginable—with death always imminent—fixing watches for the Germans in the ghettos and brutal slave labor camps of occupied Poland and Austria bought their lives over and over again. From Wolanow and Starachowice to Auschwitz and Ebensee, Harry, Mailekh, and Moishe endured, bartered, worked, prayed, and lived to see liberation. 
     
     
      
    Derived from more than a decade of interviews with Harry Lenga, conducted by his own son Scott and others, The Watchmakers is Harry's heartening and unflinchingly honest first-person account of his childhood, the lessons learned from his own father, his harrowing tribulations, and his inspiring life before, during, and after the war. It is a singular and vital story, told from one generation to the next—and a profoundly moving tribute to brotherhood, fatherhood, family, and faith.
