  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Some say that both the world wars were the result of a massive, world-wide conspiracy by an illusive secret society known as the illuminati. Others say the wars were really all part of the same grand European power struggle between the old world and the new, between royalty, politicians, communists and capitalists. Others say it was just a series of unfortunate events. 
   
  What is the truth? Do men plot? Yes they do. Are there secret organisations that have manipulated society and even brought about war? Yes there are. Did they create the first and second world wars? Yes they did. Are they behind the rise of the Nazi Party? Yes. 
   
  The history of world war two is incomplete. A massive element has been left out of the history books. The role of secret societies.

  The Umbrella Man and Other...

  Dallas, 22 November 1963. The main event is supposed to be on the appropriately named Main Street. News footage shows office workers leaning out of windows, peering at the motorcade through a blizzard of ticker tape. On the sidewalks, the crowds are fifty deep, a wall of noise and celebration. Everyone thinks this is the place to be.
  Well, nearly everyone.
  A few blocks away, in Dealey Plaza, the scene is different. There is no ticker tape here and the crowds are thin. A dressmaker with vertigo films the action balanced on a concrete plinth. There's a man opening an umbrella even though it isn't raining, a construction worker who will claim he was sent here by God, three mysterious tramps who will shortly be arrested and an unidentified woman who will become known as the Babushka Lady.
  This is not a book about who killed John F. Kennedy or why he was assassinated. This is a book about memory, how we construct our shared history and what happens when your life is defined by a single, fleeting moment. It's a celebration of human nature, of the joy of research and the freedom of an open mind. Above all, it reveals the stories of a group of real people who thought they had opted out of the main event on the day JFK came to Dallas, only to find themselves at the centre of the most scrutinised six seconds of the twentieth century.

  Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria’s Queer Men Speak is a raw and powerful collection of 25 first-person narratives that explore the diverse experience of queer Nigerian men. These stirring stories cut across age, class, religion, ethnicity, family and relationships, offering a glimpse into what it means to survive as a queer man in Nigeria. From Tunji, who takes us back to the thriving networking community before social media, to Chukwori, who struggles to reconcile his need to serve God with his sexuality, and Abdulkarim, who frustratingly wonders if he’ll ever stop working twice as hard to be accepted, these stories are full of contradictions, anger, resiliency, profound insight, and radical hope.
  
  
  With heightened levels of oppression, violence, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ Nigerians due to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Law, these voices remind us of what the queer community in Nigeria has always been fighting for - the freedom to be themselves, love themselves, and love each other, despite being viewed as unworthy. Love Offers No Safety is a heart-breaking yet hopeful reminder that love knows no boundaries and offers no safety, but it is worth fighting for.
