The world changed in 2020. Gradually at first, the The world changed in 2020. Gradually at first, then quickly and irreversibly, the patterns by which we lived altered completely. 🍂 Across four seasons and a luminous series of poems and illustrations, Rob Cowen and Nick Hayes paint a picture of a year caught in the grip of history filled with revelatory perspectives close at hand. A sparrowhawk hunting in a back street; the moon over a town with a loved one’s hand held tight; butterflies massing in a high-summer yard - the everyday wonders and memories that shape a life and help us recall our own. 🍂 The Heeding leads us on a journey that takes its markers and signs from nature and a world filled with fear and pain but beauty and wonder too. Collecting birds, animals, trees and people together, it is a profound meditation to a time no one will forget. 🍂 At its heart, this is a book that helps us look again, to heed: to be attentive to this world we share, to grieve what’s lost and to hope for a better and brighter tomorrow.
Designed to hold back a Soviet invasion of Western Designed to hold back a Soviet invasion of Western Europe by all necessary measures including nuclear strikes, the Panavia Tornado was a product of the Cold War. For nearly a decade, the possibility of its engagement in all-out conflict had been remote. 🛩 Then, in August 1990, everything changed. When Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein invaded neighbouring Kuwait, he set in motion a chain of events that had immense political, military and personal repercussions which still reverberate around the globe today. 🛩 The RAF Tornado force found itself at the very centre of Operation Desert Storm, the Allied mission to turn back the aggressor. Launched on the most perilous sorties into the heart of heavily defended Iraqi strongholds, their task was to neutralise Saddam’s highly trained and combat-hardened air force, protecting coalition ground troops from aerial attack. 🛩 At the time, no Tornado crew had ever flown the jet in anger. Heading towards their targets in pitch darkness at high speed and ultra-low level, they hoped to catch the enemy defences unawares - but were met with the hottest and most terrifying of welcomes. 🛩 Former Tornado navigator John Nichol, who was shot down and captured during the conflict, brings those raids vividly to life, and also follows the narratives of those who did not return. We join the families who watched and waited as one of the most complex conflicts in recent history unfolded live on television. Theirs is a story of fast-evolving tactics and great camaraderie; of love, hope and loss; of untold suffering and astounding courage in the face of hitherto unimaginable adversity.

The gripping story of an epic battle at sea, from The gripping story of an epic battle at sea, from one of Britain’s most acclaimed historians of war. 📖 In August 1942, beleaguered Malta was within weeks of surrender to the Axis, because its 300,000 people could no longer be fed. Winston Churchill made a personal decision that at all costs, the ‘island fortress’ must be saved. This was not merely a matter of strategy, but of national prestige, when Britain’s fortunes and morale had fallen to their lowest ebb. 📖 The largest fleet the Royal Navy committed to any operation of the western war was assembled to escort fourteen fast merchantmen across a thousand miles of sea defended by six hundred German and Italian aircraft, together with packs of U-boats and torpedo-craft. The Mediterranean battles that ensued between 11 and 15 August were the most brutal of Britain’s war at sea, embracing four aircraft-carriers, two battleships, seven cruisers, scores of destroyers and smaller craft. The losses were appalling: defeat seemed to beckon. 📖 This is the saga Max Hastings unfolds in his first full-length narrative of the Royal Navy, which he believes was the most successful of Britain’s wartime services. As always, he blends the ‘big picture’ of statesmen and admirals with human stories of German U-boat men, Italian torpedo-plane crews, Hurricane pilots, destroyer and merchant-ship captains, ordinary but extraordinary seamen. 📖 Operation Pedestal describes catastrophic ship sinking, including that of the aircraft-carrier Eagle, together with struggles to rescue survivors and salvage stricken ships. Most moving of all is the story of the tanker Ohio, indispensable to Malta’s survival, victim of countless Axis attacks. In the last days of the battle, the ravaged hulk was kept under way only by two destroyers, lashed to her sides. Max Hastings describes this as one of the most extraordinary tales he has ever recounted. Until the very last hours, no participant on either side could tell what would be the outcome of an epic of wartime suspense and courage.
“Awfully opinionated for a girl” is what they “Awfully opinionated for a girl” is what they call Hillary as she grows up in her Chicago suburb. 🇺🇸 Smart, diligent, and a bit plain, that’s the general consensus. Then Hillary goes to college and her star rises. At Yale Law School, she continues to be a leader - and catches the eye of driven, handsome and charismatic Bill. But when he asks her to marry him, Hillary gives him a firm No. 🇺🇸 How might things have worked out for them, for America, for the world itself, if Hillary Rodham had really turned down Bill Clinton? 🇺🇸 With her sharp but always compassionate eye, Curtis Sittenfeld explores the loneliness, moral ambivalence and iron determination that characterise the quest for high office, as well as the painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world ruled by men. 🇺🇸 We are giving away* Awfully Opinionated For A Girl pin badges with every purchase of a copy of Rodham, which is out now in paperback! 🇺🇸 *While stock lasts!
