  A Romanian soldier details serving for Germany on the Eastern Front during World War II in this memoir, featuring firsthand accounts of combat. German by ancestry, born and raised in the ethnic welter of post-World War I Romania, Sigmund Heinz Landau left his home to volunteer for the Third Reich during World War II. Serving on the Eastern Front, he saw nearly six years of continuous fighting with a Luftwaffe Flak unit and eventually in the Waffen-SS, from sentry duty to desperate attacks against Soviet T-34s, from the siege of Budapest to the final campaign for Berlin in 1945. Landau’s memoir, written from a unique perspective, offers rare insight into what motivated soldiers to fight—and die—for Nazi Germany.

  A Stalker's Brain - The...

  Obsession is often mistaken for love. The idea of someone being unable to stop thinking about you, watching your every move, and doing whatever it takes to be close may sound romantic in books and movies, but in reality, it is anything but. Stalking is not about love—it is about control, possession, and a dangerous detachment from reality. This book delves deep into the psychology of obsession, the minds of stalkers, and the devastating impact they have on their victims.  
    
  Stalking is not a new phenomenon, nor is it limited to any specific demographic. From rejected lovers to strangers who become fixated on a public figure, stalking takes many forms. Some stalkers believe they are destined to be with their victims, while others seek revenge or dominance. Many operate under elaborate delusions, convinced that their actions are justified. Understanding these obsessive minds requires an exploration of psychology, trauma, and the social factors that contribute to such behavior.  
    
  With the rise of technology, stalking has evolved. The internet has made it easier than ever for stalkers to track, harass, and manipulate their victims from a distance. Social media provides a constant stream of personal information, and modern surveillance tools have turned everyday life into an open book for those determined enough to pry. What once required physical proximity can now be achieved with just a few clicks. Digital stalking is no less terrifying than its physical counterpart—it is often the gateway to something even more dangerous.

  The Socratic Dialogues -...

  Plato

  The influence of Plato, his Dialogues and his ‘Academy’, cast a long shadow. Around 35 Dialogues, almost all featuring Socrates as the principal figure, are generally ascribed to Plato and form one of the most important threads in Western philosophy  These four Dialogues may fall into the ‘Attributed Texts’ category, but they are of sufficient interest to warrant study in our time and when set against the principal canon.  
   
  The recording opens with Alcibiades I. Socrates’ interlocuter is well known as a young, charismatic figure of the time, and appears in the Symposium and Protagoras. The subject under discussion is justice and injustice. Socrates questions the over-confident Alcibiades about his understanding of these issues, which is crucial for someone about to play an active role in public life. It is the longest Dialogue of the four. 
   
  Hippias is another young man. A Sophist, brimming with the confidence of youth to the extent of being vain and boastful. He appears in two Dialogues on this recording, the Lesser Hippias and the Greater Hippias. The Lesser Hippias is a witty and lively conversation in which Hippias is keen to display his abilities only to be shaken by patient questioning by the astute Socrates. The Greater Hippias, a discussion about beauty, contains some interesting elements, while also showing how the form became diluted in the hands of lesser followers of Plato.  
   
  The final Dialogue, Menexenus is a special case. It was an important form in Athenian society and this is a rare surviving example. It has been included here in a new recording so it can be listened to in the context of ‘Attributed Dialogues’, rather than a fully accepted work by Plato. The background to each Dialogue is set by Benjamin Jowett. David Rintoul continues his persuasive characterisation of the masterful Socrates.
