The Secret History of the Five Eyes
The Secret History of The Five Eyes: The untold story of the international spy network, is a riveting and exclusive narrative of the most powerful and least understood intelligence alliance, which has been steeped in secrecy since its formation in 1956.
Richard Kerbaj, an award-winning investigative journalist and filmmaker, bypasses the usual censorship channels to tell the definitive account of authoritative but unauthorised stories of the Western world's most powerful but least known intelligence alliance made up of the US, Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. As Kerbaj shows, spy stories are never better than when they are true - and these span from 1930s Nazi spy rings to the most recent developments in Ukraine and China.
Through personal interviews with world leaders - including British Prime Ministers Theresa May and David Cameron - and more than 100 intelligence officials, this book explores the complex personalities who helped shape the Five Eyes. They include a Scotland Yard detective who became a spymaster and inspired the first exchanges between MI5 and the FBI. An American home economics teacher who helped create one of the most effective programmes to counter Soviet espionage. The CIA's lone officer in Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution. GCHQ's chief during the Edward Snowden intelligence leak. And the Australian politician turned diplomat whose tip-off to the FBI instigated the inquiry into Russia's meddling in the US presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Richard Kerbaj is able to draw from deep inside the secret corridors of power and his unparalleled access spans all 5 countries. Some of the people he has interviewed include former GCHQ director Sir Iain Lobban, CIA director General David Petraeus, MI5 director-general Eliza Manningham-Buller, NSA director Admiral Mike Rogers, British National Security Advisor Kim Darroch, ASIO chief Mike Burgess, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's chief Richard Fadden, and Ciaran Martin, the official who oversaw Britain's assessments on whether the Chinese telecoms firm, Huawei, should have had a role in the creation of the UK's 5G network.
This page-turning book will lift the lid on spy stories from across the English-speaking world, question the future of the alliance, and our place within it.

Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes (Live At Tavastia) CD+BD
Amorphis je fínska heavymetalová skupina, ktorú založili Jan Rechberger, Tomi Koivusaari a Esa Holopainen v roku 1990. Spočiatku bola skupina death metalová, no na neskorších albumoch sa vyvinula v hranie iných žánrov vrátane progresívneho metalu a folk metalu. Často používajú Kalevala, epickú báseň Fínska, ako zdroj pre svoje texty.
Ponorte sa do jedinečného hudobného fenoménu: 30. výročie prelomového albumu AMORPHIS s názvom „Tales From The Thousand Lakes“ sa oslavuje živou nahrávkou, ktorá stanovuje nové štandardy, pokiaľ ide o brilantnosť a intenzitu. Toto jedinečné vydanie bolo nahrané v ikonickom klube Tavastia v Helsinkách vo Fínsku v chronologickom poradí. Táto verzia je k dispozícii od 12. júla 2024 a prejavuje bezprecedentnú dynamiku a umeleckú jedinečnosť AMORPHIS. Málokedy bola surová sila a emocionálna hĺbka živého vystúpenia zachytená tak autenticky ako na tomto mimoriadnom zvukovom memente a koncertnom filme. „Tales From The Thousand Lakes“ sa stane oveľa viac, než je vaša priemerná živá nahrávka; je to óda na fínsku mytológiu, kývnutie na nedotknutú fínsku prírodu.Táto živá nahrávka, ktorá obsahuje vizuálne úžasné nahrávky, spúšťa ohňostroj intenzívnych emócií a oživuje jedinečné kompozície AMORPHIS.

Five Children and It (EN)
Filled with wit and humour, Nesbit’s 1902 fantasy tells the adventure of five siblings sent to spend the summer with their uncle.
