A History of English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 | |||
| History | ||||
| Andrews Roberts | ||||
| Weidenfeld & Nicolson 2006 736 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 0297850768 | ||||
| Published Price £25.00 | Our Price £9.99 | |||
| If the 20th century presented the greatest trials and perils for the English-speaking peoples, it was also the century that would mark their triumph. In this much-acclaimed narrative, the conservative historian Andrew Roberts describes four world-historical struggles that have engaged the English-speaking peoples since 1900 - the confrontations with German nationalism, German fascism, Soviet communism and Islamic fundamentalism - and the mid-century handover of world leadership from British Empire and Commonwealth to the American Republic. | ||||

The Fall of Mussolini | |||
| History | ||||
| Philip Morgan | ||||
| Oxford University Press 2007 264 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 019280247X | ||||
| Published Price £16.99 | Our Price £7.99 | |||
| This account of Mussolini's fall from power in July 1943 illuminates both the causes and the consequences of that momentous event. Morgan shows how Italians coped with the extraordinary pressures of wartime and how the experience of war eventually distanced them from their dictator. He goes on to examine how the Italian people responded to the invasion and occupation of their country by both Nazi-German and Anglo-American forces, and how crucial this period was in shaping Italy's post-war development. | ||||

| Published Price £9.99 | Our Price £2.99 | |||
| In 1957, Herbert L Matthews, prominent reporter with the New York Times, tracked down Fidel Castro in Cuba's Sierra Maestra Mountains and made what was considered the scoop of the century. This re-investigation of Matthews' reports reveals a story not just of Castro's rise to power, but of how America determines who its enemies are. | ||||
