FIRST COMPLETE PAPERBACK EDITION

Finally available in a single volume, the masterful study of Hitler’s foreign policy and the true origins of the Second World War by the world’s top specialist in history of Nazi Germany and World War II.

Written over the course of many years and previously available only in two volumes, this complete and updated edition is now being published in a single affordable volume for the first time.

“…the course of German foreign policy provides the obvious organizing principle for any account of the origins of World War II. This is not to assert that no other power or other factor bears any substantial share of the responsibility for the outbreak of that war or the developments leading up to it but rather to suggest that a complex question is perhaps best studied by examining its core. […]

The years from the beginning of 1933 to the end of 1936 saw a diplomatic revolution in Europe. From a barely accepted equal on the European stage, Germany became the dominant power on the Continent. With the remilitarization of the Rhine and, the stalemate in the Spanish civil war, the forming of the Axis, and the signing of the Anti-Comintern Pact, this phase was completed. The diplomatic initiative in the world belonged to Germany and its partners. Germany’s determination for war became the central issue in world diplomacy.”

When the war began, victory seemed assured as British forces easily secured the head of the Persian Gulf, a move mainly designed to protect British oil interests. The British commanding general then decided to march on to Baghdad, but his effort fell short and he was defeated at Ctesiphon and forced to retreat to Kut where the Ottoman army cut him to pieces. The British had to reorganize and by the time they swept the Turks out of Mesopotamia, they had suffered 100,000 casualties and spent the colossal sum of 350 million pounds sterling by 1918. The Ottoman army was forced to evacuate Baghdad and Enver Pasha lost Mesopotamia. As distinguished author Colonel A.J. Barker notes, the campaign began and ended under the handicap of unnecessary strategic goals, but while it was also ill conceived and ill directed it saw nevertheless some of the most courageous and tragic soldiering of the First World War.

Announcing the first paperback edition of Becoming Winston Churchill, The Untold Story of Young Winston and His American Mentor

Winston Churchill was only 20 when he met the man whom he credited, more than any other, with shaping him as a statesman and an orator, one whose voice and political courage would save his country and the world during their darkest hour. As Churchill once wrote: “I regard his as the biggest and most original mind I have ever met. When I was a young man, he instantly gained my confidence and I feel that I owe the best things in my life to him.”

That man was Bourke Cockran, a charismatic Irish-born Democratic Congressman from New York City, acclaimed by his peers as the greatest orator in the Gilded Age of politics. Following the death of Winston’s father, Lord Randolph, in 1895, Cockran, who was a widower, became the lover of Churchill’s mother, the beautiful American-born heiress Jennie Jerome, who persuaded Cockran to take her son under his wing.

THE FINAL COLLAPSE OF THE THIRD REICH AND THE SECRET INITIATIVES OF A KEY NAZI OFFICIAL

Hitler’s Intelligence Chief Walter Schellenberg
The Man Who Kept Germany’s Secrets With His Autobiography written in 1945
Introduction by Gerhard L. Weinberg
(Author of A World At Arms and Hitler’s Foreign Policy 1933-1939)Adolf Hitler's chief of foreign intelligence, SS Brigadeführer Walter Schellenberg, was a cultured and highly educated Nazi functionary driven by relentless ambition and ruthless pursuit of his goals. Surviving the vicious internecine struggles within the SS hierarchy, he became a close intelligence and foreign policy advisor to the murderous Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler, whom he served and feared until the very end. A law degree, a high level of professional engagement, and a personal relationship with Heinrich Himmler, the much feared head of the SS and German Police, helped ensure the rise of Walter Schellenberg. Head of SS Foreign Intelligence since 1942, Schellenberg was among the few to predict the dramatic collapse of Hitler’s regime and Germany’s military defeat at an early stage of World War II. Using his close contact with Himmler, he managed through the harrowing final months of the conflict to free large numbers of Jews and other concentration camp inmates by transporting them to safety in Sweden. In doing so he saved many lives.

“Intelligence ends with the first shot fired. Real Intelligence much more resembles a fascinating chess game, much complicated by the fact that the figures and their positions are not known to the players…”—Victor Sheymov former KGB officer who defected to the United States

The new thriller by Nicholas Anderson sheds light on top secret operations that took place in the 1980s and ‘90s. The title NOC stands for “Non-Official Cover” that accurately describes the kind of “black” operations the author was involved in. Unable to secure permission to publish as non-fiction, and treading on the very thin ice of the Official Secrets Act, Anderson decided to fictionalize what really happened to him in various missions behind the old Iron Curtain, the Middle East, and Africa, but also in the Bronx, NY, chasing IRA gunmen ready to kill. Action packed at every page!
