Time Bomb - Irish Bombs English Justice and the Guildford Four

Ros Franey, Grant McKee

Summary

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.'  Michael Mansfield

Broken Supremacy - The Rise and...

Davis Truman

A searing chronicle of ambition, brutality, and collapse, Broken Supremacy: The Rise and Fall of the Wehrmacht in Russia reveals the untold dimensions of the most catastrophic military campaign in modern history. 
At the height of its power, the Wehrmacht was celebrated as an unstoppable force, an army honed on lightning victories, driven by a doctrine of speed and annihilation. Yet on the vast, unforgiving battlefields of the Eastern Front, that supremacy was shattered. This groundbreaking work peels back the myths to expose the flawed strategies, fatal hubris, and relentless resistance that led to the Wehrmacht’s disintegration against the Soviet war machine. 
Drawing on newly unearthed archives, soldiers’ testimonies, and penetrating analysis, the book traces the Wehrmacht’s trajectory from its initial triumphs in 1941 to its devastating reversals at Stalingrad, Kursk, and beyond. It examines the interplay between ideology and strategy, the limitations of military innovation, and the human toll of a conflict that claimed millions of lives. More than a military history, it is an unflinching portrait of a regime’s overreach and the resilience of those who resisted it. 
Written with cinematic immediacy and scholarly authority, Broken Supremacy illuminates how the Wehrmacht’s rise carried the seeds of its downfall, and why its defeat in Russia sealed the fate of Nazi Germany itself.

America’s Most Famous...

Editors Charles River

It was the great mystery of its time and still reads like an episode of “Law and Order” today. In December 1910, a wealthy young woman, thought to be sheltered and above reproach, goes missing shortly after being seen in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The police are called in and begin to question those closest to her, only to have her father, a wealthy manufacturer, insist it must be foul play and that his daughter was on good terms with her entire family. Likewise, he claims that though she was in her mid-20s and in the prime of life, she had no serious romantic attachments.
By the mid-1930s, Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous women in the world. The American pilot had set a number of altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation’s largest and costliest manhunts to date.
On November 24, 1971, there was little to suggest that the skies above the Pacific Northwest would produce one of the greatest mysteries in American history and a criminal investigation that is still ongoing over 40 years later. However, on the day before Thanksgiving, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle and sat in the rear of the cabin. The identity of the thief who ransomed hostages and then jumped out of a plane with the money that night remains unknown. In fact, his ultimate fate is a mystery.

American Poly - A History

Christopher M. Gleason

Recent studies have found that as many as one in five Americans have experimented with some form of sexual non-monogamy, and approximately one in fifteen knows someone who was or is polyamorous. The mainstream media has increasingly covered polyamorous lifestyles and the committed relationships of throuples, and dating apps have added polyamory as a status option. 
 
 
 
This book is the first history to trace the evolution of polyamorous thought and practice within the broader context of American culture. Drawing on personal journals and letters, underground newsletters, and publications from the Kinsey Institute Archives, among other sources, it reconstructs polyamory's intellectual foundations, highlighting its unique blend of conservative political thought and countercultural spiritualism. Christopher M. Gleason locates its early foundations in the Roaring Twenties among bohemians. In the 1950s and 1960s it surprisingly emerged among libertarian science fiction writers. Throughout the 1990s, polyamorists utilized the internet to spread their ideas, often undermining any remaining religious or spiritual significance their ideas held. 
 
 
 
Offering an original perspective on sexuality, marriage, and the family, American Poly reveals the history of polyamory in the United States from fringe practice to a new stage of the sexual revolution.

Dark Psychology - Exploring...

Coral Nunez

Dark Psychology: Exploring Manipulation, Persuasion, and Influence Tactics provides a deep dive into the often-hidden world of psychological manipulation. In our everyday lives, we encounter numerous forces attempting to shape our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors—sometimes without even realizing it. Whether it’s the subtle pressures of advertising, the persuasive tactics used in politics, or the manipulative behaviors in personal relationships, we are constantly influenced by those who seek to control or sway us.
At the core of dark psychology lies the study of these influence tactics. It is the exploration of how individuals or groups can manipulate others, often for their own gain, by exploiting the psychological vulnerabilities that we all possess. From the most subtle forms of persuasion to more overt methods of coercion, dark psychology encompasses the tools, strategies, and personalities behind these manipulative behaviors.
The term "dark psychology" refers to a set of techniques designed to influence or manipulate others, often for selfish or harmful purposes. These methods can be seen in many contexts—whether used by con artists, politicians, marketers, or individuals within personal relationships. Understanding dark psychology is not about becoming a manipulator; rather, it’s about equipping oneself with the knowledge to recognize when others are attempting to manipulate or persuade us in ways that may not be in our best interests. It’s about gaining awareness and taking control of how we are influenced by others.
