How to Win an Information War: The Propagandist Who Outwitted Hitler
From one of our leading experts on disinformation, the incredible true story of the complex and largely forgotten WWII propagandist Sefton Delmer - and what we can learn from him today.
'Pomerantsev is emerging as the pre-eminent war reporter of our time'- Observer
From one of our leading experts on disinformation, the incredible true story of the complex and largely forgotten WWII propagandist Thomas Sefton Delmer - and what we can learn from him today. In the summer of 1941, Hitler ruled Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. Britain was struggling to combat the powerful Nazi propaganda machine, which crowed victory and smeared its enemies. But inside Germany, there was one notable voice of dissent from the very heart of the military machine, Der Chef, a German whose radio broadcasts skilfully questioned Nazi doctrine.
He had access to high-ranking German military secrets and spoke of internal rebellion. His listeners included German soldiers and citizens. American officials and even the President tried to decipher what it meant for the future of the war. But what these audiences didn't know was that Der Chef was a fiction, a character created by the British propagandist Thomas Sefton Delmer, just one player in Delmer's vast counter-propaganda cabaret, a unique weapon in the war.
As author Peter Pomerantsev uncovers Delmer's story, he is called into a wartime propaganda effort of his own: the global response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. This book is the story of Delmer and his modern-day investigator, as they each embark on their own quest to seduce and inspire the passions of supporters and enemies, and to turn the tide of information wars.

Robin Hood
"Ahogy felmászott a kapu tetejére, Jimoen beakasztotta a horgot, rátette a naftalintartót, és miután győzedelmesen megrázta az öklét, leugrott. Legalábbis ez volt a terve. De ahelyett, hogy leért volna, az a bolond ifjú csak lógott ott. Valahogy sikerült a bőrzsák mellett a kabátját is a kapuhoz szögelnie. Karjaival hadonászott, lábaival rúgkapált, kétségbeesetten próbált szabadulni, hasztalan. Ezt látva jó néhány francia íjász ismét áthajolt a falon, és megpróbált végezni vele. Miközben Will és Allen feléjük lőtt, Robin a vár felé iramodott. Félúton, anélkül, hogy lassított volna, zsákmányolt egy elhagyott pajzsot. Ahogy elérte a kaput, Jimoen nevét kiáltotta, és feldobta a fiúnak a fegyvert. Ő elkapta, a feje fölé emelte, még épp időben, hogy visszaverje a nyílvesszőt, ami átdöfte volna a koponyáját. Robin mászni kezdett, közben üdvrivalgást hallott a háta mögül. - Nézzétek, mit meg nem tesznek az Oroszlánszívűért! - hallotta a király harsogó kiáltását. A francia íjászok tovább lőttek, de ahogy közeledett Jimoenhez, Robin orrát a nyilaknál és íjaknál sokkal rettenetesebb szag csapta meg. A sistergő olajé, amit a franciák rájuk akartak zúdítani. Elérte a fiatal katonát és rövid küzdelem után sikerült leakasztania. Leugrottak és arrébb gurultak, pont akkor, amikor az olaj lefröccsent a várfalon. A pajzsot szorongatva a biztonságos távolba rohantak, a földet és a pajzsot nyílzápor verdeste. Újabb üdvrivalgás fogadta őket, amikor végül lebuktak a pajtaajtó mögé."

Iron and Blood
Iron and Blood is a startlingly ambitious and absorbing book, encompassing five centuries of political, military, technological and economic change to tell the story of the German-speaking lands, from the Rhine to the Balkan frontier, from Switzerland to the North Sea. Wilson's narrative considers everything from weapons development to recruitment to battlefield strategy.
Germans' military impact on the rest of Europe has been immense. If there is one constant it has been the sense of being beset by seemingly more powerful enemies - France or Russia or Turkey - and the need to strike a rapid knockout blow to ensure a favourable result. Almost inevitably, this has in practice meant protracted, relentless and often unwinnable wars, and - in 1939-1945 - moral catastrophe.
The author of definitive books on the Holy Roman Empire and the Thirty Years War, Peter Wilson has with Iron and Blood written his masterpiece.

Most Delicious Poison : From Spices to Vices - The Story of Natures Toxins
A deadly secret lurks within our kitchens, medicine cabinets and gardens.
Scratch beneath the surface of a coffee bean, a red pepper flake or an apple seed, and we find a bevy of strange chemicals. We use these to greet our days (caffeine), titillate our tongues (capsaicin) and even kill our enemies (cyanide). But what is the reason plants and fungi produce such chemicals? And how did we come to use and abuse them?
Based on cutting-edge science in the fields of evolution, chemistry, and neuroscience, Most Delicious Poison is the first book to reveal the origins of plant and fungal toxins, the mechanisms animals have evolved to overcome them, and how a co-evolutionary arms race made its way into the human experience. This perpetual chemical war not only drove the diversification of life on Earth, but is also intimately tied to our own successes and failures as a species.

Spóra
"A spóra egy bolygószintű T-limfocita. Megtámad bármilyen fertőzést, ami felborítja a természet egyensúlyát. És az aktuális fertőzés most éppen: az emberiség."
Amerikában ismeretlen eredetű járvány tör ki: egy spóra hatására a betegeket aranyszínű és fekete foltok, tetoválásszerű "sárkánypikkelyek" kezdik ellepni, majd egyszer csak, hosszú idő után, felgyulladnak. A spontán öngyulladásra nincs ellenszer, akin megjelennek a foltok, az el fog égni.
A regény főhőse Harper, egy kórházi ápolónő, aki betegek százait látta elpusztulni, ezért megállapodnak a férjével, hogy ha megbetegszik, öngyilkos lesz. De amikor kiderül, hogy ő is megfertőződött, már terhes, és mindenképpen ki akarja hordani a magzatot, még mielőtt elégne, hiszen tudja, hogy sok esetben más fertőzött nők is ép, egészséges gyermeknek adtak életet.
Az általános összeomlás és káosz közepette Harper férjének elborul az elméje, magára hagyja az asszonyt, aki az életben maradásért folytatott küzdelmében mégsem marad egyedül: egy rejtélyes férfi, a Tűzoltó, aki szintén fertőzött, de képes megakadályozni az öngyulladást, és őrült igazságosztóként járja a vidéket, talán még idejében átadhatja Harpernek életmentő titkát?

Instant Karma
An irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance about a girl who suddenly has the power to cast karma on the people around her and the lab partner who thwarts her plans and steals her heart, from New York Times-bestselling author Marissa Meyer.
Chronic overachiever Prudence Barnett is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her.
Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals.
When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue centre for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals – not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed . . . love and hate . . . and fate.
