Winter War 1939–40


The first illustrated study in English of the Finnish Air Force’s battle to repel the Soviet invaders during the Winter War, one of the greatest David-and-Goliath air battles in history. In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded its neighbour Finland, sparking the Winter War. While Finland was heavily outnumbered in all respects, in few respects was the contest so uneven as in the air. In this book, veteran Finnish aviation historian Kari Stenman draws on his decades of research to present the first account in English of the Finnish Air Force’s defence of the country’s skies, a clash that pitted its 114 combat aircraft against the Soviets’ 2,318. He explains that, equipped initially with a handful of British and Dutch aircraft, Finland’s air force adopted similar guerrilla tactics to its infantry. Fokker D.XXI interceptors were scattered to remote landing grounds to ambush the Soviets and give an impression of strength, while the bombers were first used for long-range reconnaissance and harassment. Over the course of the war, the Finns received new Gladiators, Fiat G.50s and French MS.406s, until at the close of the war, all flying units were thrown in to repel the Russian invasion across the frozen Gulf of Finland. Illustrated with previously unpublished photos, superb original artwork, 3D diagrams and maps, this reveals for the first time the full story of how Finnish aviators fought for their country’s independence.

Billy Graham


Billy Graham Was the World’s Best-Known Evangelist—Loved and Admired by Millions. But Very Few Knew Him Personally. Pastor and bestselling author Greg Laurie was one of those fortunate few, blessed with an insider’s view of Billy Graham’s world for more than two decades. With the same painstaking research and eye for detail that distinguishes his previous biographies, Steve McQueen: Salvation of an American Icon and Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon, Laurie now turns to the life of his beloved mentor, offering the intimate perspective of a disciple and friend. As a strapping North Carolina farm boy, Graham surrendered his life to Jesus at a camp meeting led by a blustery itinerant preacher, but he never lost the mischievous twinkle in his eye or his fun-loving air. Laurie sheds light on Graham’s lesser-known struggles—such as a broken heart before he met the love of his life and a crisis of faith from which he emerged stronger than ever. From the evangelist’s private challenges and public successes to his disappointments and joys, Billy Graham: The Man I Knew provides a vivid portrait of one of history’s most remarkable Christian lives.

Dirty Kitchen


“Searing…Jill Damatac tells the story of a fight for survival and culture in America.” —The New York Times “A fiercely honest, eye-opening view of one undocumented family’s experiences trying to start over in a new world.” —The San Francisco Chronicle In the style of Crying in H Mart and Minor Feelings, filmmaker Jill Damatac blends memoir, food writing, and colonial history as she cooks her way through recipes from her native-born Philippines and shares stories of her undocumented family in America. Jill Damatac left the United States in 2015 after living there as an undocumented immigrant with her family for twenty-two years. America was the only home she knew, where invisibility had become her identity and where poverty, domestic violence, ill health, and xenophobia were everyday experiences. First traveling to her native Philippines, Damatac eventually settled in London, England, where she was free to pursue an education at the University of Cambridge, fully investigate her roots, and process what happened to her and her family. After nine years, she was granted British citizenship, and returned to the United States, for the first time without fear of deportation or retribution. Damatac weaves together forgotten colonial history and long-buried Indigenous tradition, taking us through her time in America, and cooking her way through Filipino recipes in her kitchen as she searches for a sense of self and renewed possibility. With emotional intelligence, clarity, and grace, Dirty Kitchen explores fractured memories to ask questions of identity, colonialism, immigration, and belonging, and to find ways in which the ritual, tradition, and comfort of food can answer them.

Cyrus' and Maximillian's chemistry is electric. Who needs enemies-to-lovers when you have nemeses-to-lovers?!' Elizabeth Helen, Sunday Times bestselling author of Bonded by Thorns Once upon a time there lived the (annoyingly) perfect hero Maximillian – a champion with a blinding smile, muscles sculpted by the gods, and an infuriating dedication to all things noble and good. But this isn’t his story. Good is boring. Honour is overrated. This is the story of Cyrus, the kingdom’s most feared wrongdoer. Handsome, dastardly, and (still relatively) young, Cyrus lives for villainy. But even Cyrus has to admit, keeping up a fearsome image is a lot of work. So, when that golden boy Maximillian offers a deal to fake a rivalry, Cyrus can't resist. A few staged battles, some public drama – it’s the perfect way to boost both their reputations. Sure, it means spending more time with his so-called ‘enemy’, but how hard could that be? Get to know him. Fight him. Maybe fall for him? Nope, that wasn’t supposed to happen.

Dialóg dvoch exilov


Po komunistickom prevrate v roku 1948 emigrovali na Západ tisícky demokraticky orientovaných Slovákov vytvárajúcich spolu s Čechmi v poradí už tretí – tentoraz protikomunistický – československý zahraničný odboj. Zo slovenskej strany ho v 70. a 80. rokoch 20. storočia viedol niekdajší politik Demokratickej strany Martin Kvetko. Po auguste 1968 utiekli z dôvodu okupácie Československa vojskami Varšavskej zmluvy ďalšie desaťtisíce Čechov a Slovákov, často už aj reformných komunistov. Na Západe vytvorili nové štruktúry odporu voči domácej konzervatívnej prosovietskej komunistickej totalite. Významné miesto v nich zastával historik Vilém Prečan, ktorý organizoval distribúciu informačných materiálov medzi domácim disentom a československým exilom, resp. demokratickými médiami na Západe. Stal sa známy najmä ako exilový „dvorný archivár“ aktivít Charty 77, resp. disidentských iniciatív z Československa. Prečanove neutíchajúce aktivity na poli historiografie, upozorňujúce demokratický Západ na represie komunistického režimu voči kriticky uvažujúcim historikom v Československu, prirodzene upútali pozornosť Martina Kvetka. Témami korešpondencie Prečana a Kvetka boli spočiatku osud proskribovaného historika odboja Jozefa Jablonického a viaceré otázky slovenských dejín 20. storočia. Tie Kvetko vnímal ako ich priamy účastník a aktívny tvorca (odbojový činiteľ, povojnový povereník), zatiaľ čo Prečan patril medzi najvýznamnejších spracovateľov týchto tém (jeho dva zväzky dokumentov o Slovenskom národnom povstaní sú dodnes neprekonané). Listová komunikácia exulantov taktiež poodhaľuje zákulisie mnohých aspektov života protikomunistickej emigrácie i domáceho disentu. Dotýka sa nielen komplikovaných osobných vzťahov v exile či problematiky slovensko-českého súžitia, ale aj tém kontroverznej nemeckej či maďarskej otázky, o ktorých sa viedli ostré polemiky. Publikácia ponúka aj nahliadnutie do „kuchyne“ príprav exilových vydaní diel najvýznamnejších disidentov zo Slovenska – Milana Šimečku, Miroslava Kusého, Hany Ponickej a najmä Jablonického samizdatových štúdií.
