‘Never has so much been owed by so many, to so few.’ This is the story of those few, in their own words.In the summer of 1940, the British frontlines were the skies above southern England. Spitfires and Hurricanes took on the might of the Luftwaffe, and its feared Messerschmitt fighters, dogfighting high above civilians watching on in awe.Hitler was determined to invade Britain and close down the Western Front for good. But his plan – Operation Sea Lion – could not begin while the RAF could still harry an invasion fleet. It had to be broken.Up to five times a day, the pilots of RAF Fighter Command scrambled to meet the inbound Luftwaffe. At one point, every available British fighter plane was airborne – Britain threw literally everything into the fight, and was tested to the very limits. Against all odds ''The Few'', as they came to be known, bought Britain''s freedom – many with their lives.These are the personal accounts of the pilots who fought and survived that battle. We will not see their like again.

The story of the greatest Special Forces unit the world has ever seen, told by the men who fought together.In 1941, maverick officer David Stirling – adventurer, gambler, rake – created the Special Air Service. The soldiers came from all walks of life: miners, desert explorers, Guardsmen, bored clerks in the pay corps. All felt frustrated by the conventional army and were determined to make their mark on the war. Together they created a tradition that would survive the capture of their leader, the death of so many of their comrades and even the disbanding of the SAS after the end of the war.With the co-operation of the regimental association, Gavin Mortimer interviewed nearly sixty veterans, including many of the desert ‘Originals’, many of whom had never before revealed their role. They spoke openly, with honesty and humour, about life in the SAS; the gruelling training that broke all but the toughest; the thrill of raiding desert airfields; the danger of parachuting into occupied France; and the fear of being caught by the Germans, knowing that Hitler had ordered the ‘liquidation’ of captured SAS soldiers.This is the SAS at war, in their own words.

When it comes to libido, every one of us is different… But that’s no bad thing.Differences in libido is a common issue in romantic relationships, often leading to insecurity, conflict and communication breakdown. It can be difficult to find help, as most research on the topic adheres to a narrow, heteronormative model of sexual intimacy — a way of thinking that hinders our ability to enjoy sex to the full.Dr. Fogel Mersy and Dr. Vencill’s Desire rejects this model. Drawing upon their wealth of experience as certified sex therapists, Fogel Mersy and Vencill look beyond structural oppressions like cisnormativity and compulsory sexuality, to promote a liberated, inclusive perspective.Through scientific research, cultural analysis, and practical exercises, readers can learn what impacts libido, how to improve communication, and how to manage sexual anxieties, in order to create a healthier and happier attitude towards sex and intimacy.Whoever you are or whoever you''re into, Desire will help you find the key to having great sex and making lasting relationships.Praise for Desire:''Brilliant. . . .
