Frontový deník
V únoru 1944 osvobodila Rudá armáda ukrajinskou Volyň, kde žila početná česká menšina. Tisíce mužů a žen následně vstoupily do československé armády, aby bojovaly za osvobození rodné země svých předků. Byl mezi nimi i učitel Václav Kalcovský, který byl jako kancelářský rotmistr přidělen k oddílu samohybných děl, z něhož se později stal 3. tankový prapor. S ním se následně účastnil tažení do Československa – prošel boji na Dukle, v Polsku a při osvobozování Ostravy. Nevzpomíná ale jen na střety s Němci, popisuje každodenní život vojáků na frontě a v týlu či soužití s obyvateli v oblastech, kterými procházeli. A také na své velitele, mezi nimiž nechybí Hrdina Sovětského svazu Richard Tesařík, a na příjezd do Prahy, jež ale nebyla taková, jakou ji očekávali. Následně se se svým praporem podílel na konsolidaci pohraničí na severní Moravě, načež odešel ke své předválečné profesi. Rozsáhlé vzpomínky doplňuje na 250 unikátních fotografií a dokumentů, které přibližují i osudy dalších, dnes již téměř zapomenutých československých účastníků druhé světové války.

The Care Dilemma
A FINANCIAL TIMES AND THE SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR''Important'' Financial Times''Serious and thought-provoking'' The Critic''Brave'' Richard ReevesFamily life has changed dramatically over the past 60 years.Greater choice and autonomy, especially for women, and a more equal domestic sphere have brought great gains for human freedom. However, argues David Goodhart, there have been losses and unintended consequences too – in family instability, children’s declining mental health, and the ever-rising demands on the welfare state and social care system. Sharply falling birthrates also present major challenges.For many people, especially in the bottom half of the income spectrum, the costs are now too high. The Care Dilemma argues that we need a new policy settlement that supports gender equality while also recognising the importance of stable families and community life, and that sees having children as a public as well as private good.

Battle for the Island Kingdom
SHORTLISTED FOR MILITARY HISTORY MATTERS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024Includes all the key individuals that inspired the final season of Netflix''s Vikings: Valhalla and the brand-new BBC drama King and Conqueror. Bloody battles, political intrigues and dynastic marriages all played a part in shaping a nascent England. Battle for the Island Kingdom is a rich history of the violent six decades when Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and ultimately Normans vied for the English crown before the seismic Battle of Hastings determined the fate of England for centuries. Discover the defining personalities of the age, from the English king Aethelred and his nemesis Viking Svein Forkbeard to Cnut who forged an empire across England and Scandinavia only for his Norman queen Emma and Saxon consort Aelfifu to pit his sons against each other. We discover how the power-hungry Earl Godwin plays all sides until his own son Harold eventually seizes the crown and why Harold''s brother Tostig chose to betray both him and his people for the Norman William the Bastard, who would become William the Conqueror. This is a gripping tale of divided loyalties, treason and military might by master storyteller Don Hollway, author of the critically acclaimed The Last Viking.
Ungovernable
The instant Sunday Times Bestseller and a Guardian and Financial Times Book of the Year. ‘A remarkable insight into a critical moment. Hart’s wit and tolerance makes his record of a system in crisis all the more convincing and troubling’ – Rory Stewart, author of Politics On the EdgeFrom Partygate to Brexit, over the course of five years, Simon Hart had a front-row seat to the most turbulent times in recent political history. Lifting the lid on the British Government, Ungovernable is the first insider account of life as chief whip. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, Brexit negotiations and Liz Truss’s extraordinary forty-nine-day premiership – Simon Hart’s seen and heard it all. And starting in 2022, under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, he witnessed successive dramas unfold, all while holding down the (often misunderstood) position of chief whip. Astonishingly, during those whip years, Simon oversaw a near-record fifteen Conservative MPs fall by the wayside. Three of these were resignations, including Nadine Dorries and the scandal of her disappearing peerage; two were defections to Labour; and the remaining ten were suspended by Simon for offences ranging from Matt Hancock’s unauthorized appearance on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! to Lee Anderson’s comments about the London Mayor. Each one of these involved an extensive build-up, a complicated process and a noisy and vitriolic public commentary. None of this stopped him from becoming one of the few chief whips – of which there have been eleven since 2010 – to survive for an entire premiership. In a first-of-its-kind, extraordinary look at life as a chief whip, Ungovernable is a revealing, real-time, blow-by-blow account – offering a glimpse of what truly goes on in Westminster behind closed doors. The Sunday Times Top 5 Bestseller at no. 3, w/b 10/03/2025
How the United States Would Fight China
A stark warning: Washington is at real risk of strategic defeat in any war with China.This book dissects precisely how the United States imagines fighting the People''s Republic of China, and why it risks failing. Franz-Stefan Gady contends that the US military approach to a potential conflict over Taiwan is unlikely to succeed, relying heavily on both rapidly established information superiority and a decisive victory. This may increase the threat of nuclear escalation between the world''s only superpowers.The more likely scenario is a prolonged war of attrition across land, sea, air, space and cyberspace. America''s society, armed forces and industrial capacity are ill-prepared for this--a deficiency stemming from a military culture that prioritises advanced technology over mass, and from a lack of public or political will for the sacrifices required by such a conflict.Gady''s superb research and analysis, based on US doctrine, force structure and general ''ways of war'', reveal the significant risks to the United States in a potential conflict with China, whether in the 2020s or 2030s.
Up the Youth Club
‘Youth clubs have always existed. They always will, because there will always be young people. How we care for our youth, and what we owe them, is a question for all of us.’In Up the Youth Club, Emma Warren maps the shifting story of youth clubs in the UK and Northern Ireland, from factory workers in Victorian Boys’ and Girls’ clubs to renegade self-emancipatory spaces in the 1970s and the music-generating youth clubs of more recent decades. With a mixed lineage in church evangelism, the patronage of the upper classes, grassroots’ DIY, and erratic state funding, the youth club has had a huge, yet almost invisible, effect on music, sport, culture and society.Arguing that we cannot advocate for what we do not understand, Warren positions youth clubs as a kind of engine room – from the famous success stories to come out of their doors, such as The Specials or Stormzy, to the untold stories of young people finding shelter, sustenance and stimulation for over a century – and why their dwindling numbers, largely due to austerity and funding cuts, is of serious concern for us all.With this impassioned history, Warren invites us to pick up the torch and play an active part in protecting and re-igniting this vital part of UK society.
Upon A White Horse
The prehistoric sites of Britain and Ireland are places of wonder and wondering. Who made these structures? What did they mean to them? And what do they mean to us now?Bestselling author Peter Ross journeys from midwinter at Stonehenge to midsummer at Sycamore Gap. Along the way he encounters bog bodies in Dublin, a wooden goddess in Edinburgh and a chalk giant in Dorset. He asks what it is like to live within the great stone circle at Avebury, what rituals occurred in an Anglesey tomb and what draws volunteers to care for the Uffington White Horse.These objects and structures speak of the long human story. They offer the comfort of recognition and the pleasure of mystery. There is something about ancient places that fills a hollow in our souls.Upon A White Horse is a celebration of landscape and people - and all that is beautiful, strange and old.PRAISE FOR STEEPLE CHASING:''A delicious treat'' - Financial Times''A charming odyssey'' - The Times''Lovely, lyrical, whimsical, elegiac'' - TLS''Engaging'' - New Statesman''A wonderful book'' - Daily Telegraph

Blowback
An investigative journalist reopens the unsolved mystery of John Doe 2, the Oklahoma City bombing suspect who evaded a global FBI manhunt.What if everything we know about one of America’s darkest days is wrong? Tragedy unfolded on April 19, 1995, when a massive bomb exploded in America’s Heartland, killing 168 people, including 15 children in their daycare center. History says the Oklahoma City bombing was lone wolf terrorism. But haunting fresh evidence points instead to a neo-Nazi plot in which the FBI played a hidden role, allowing suspects to walk free, denying justice to the victims, and hiding the truth from all of us. The FBI launched the biggest manhunt in its history for two suspected bombers and quickly arrested Timothy McVeigh, a twenty-six-year-old Gulf War Army veteran. Yet they never captured the other suspect, known only as John Doe 2, who rode next to McVeigh in the bomb truck. Soon the FBI canceled the search, saying eyewitnesses who saw John Doe 2 were mistaken. None of this rings true to award-winning journalist Margaret Roberts. As former news director of America’s Most Wanted, she worked high-profile manhunts alongside the FBI. How could twenty witnesses be wrong? More troubling clues lead Roberts to reopen the mystery of John Doe 2 before the 30th anniversary of America’s deadliest domestic terror attack. Blowback chronicles her shocking discoveries, including journalism’s only face-to-face prison interviews with McVeigh co-conspirator Terry Nichols. Roberts puts the puzzle together after a whistleblower steps forward, though one burning mystery remains: The FBI has kept surveillance video of McVeigh’s accomplice locked away all these years. Is John Doe 2 the FBI’s guilty secret?
