Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on 20 years of research, Gianluca Barneschi has uncovered the true story of a real-life James Bond. The debonair Special Operations Executive agent Richard 'Dick' Mallaby was the first Briton to be sent to Italy as an SOE operative, parachuted unceremoniously into Lake Como in August 1943. Arrested and initially tortured by the Italian authorities, he managed to sweet-talk his way out of trouble, and helped Marshal Pietro Badoglio and King Victor Emmanuel III escape to the Allied lines. He also helped negotiate the armistice with Italy, for which he was awarded the Military Cross. He was back in action in 1945, when he crossed into Fascist-controlled northern Italy from Switzerland but was swiftly captured and interrogated by the SS. Narrowly avoiding a firing squad once again, he helped to secure the surrender of 800,000 German forces in Italy in May 1945.

Book excerpt: In 1958, actress Coral Browne met a spy in Moscow. And not just any spy - the exiled English spy, Guy Burgess, whom she visits in his seedy flat in Russia's capital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed’s entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed’s art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed’s relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.

To thee new bounds my regions owe; Thou shedd'st fresh glory on my brow; Where Titan rises on the main Circled by numerous seas I reign, And where beneath old Ocean's tides His glowing orb he sinking hides. III. To happiness beneath thy sway Tis glory adds a brighter day, More glorious far by thy renown And power, I scare the envious frown. Whoe'er would break my tranquil rest, Short lived's the rancour of his breast, Thy fame shall burst upon his ear, And thunder-struck he'll die with fear; Whilst he that hears the royal word Will humbly kiss thy conquering sword. IV. See the proud Ottoman, with power Elate, bewail his destin'd hour; Impatient of the victor foe Before thee prostrate lie, and low; Vain are his hopes, his projects vain, O'er the vast universe to reign. The Agamemnons of the North Shall blast them in their infant birth. No numbers heroes can appal, Where'er they stretch their arms, they fall. The Danube saw them in array, The Danube witness'd their dismay: The Victor glorying in his fame From conquest wins a lasting name; New laurels bloom upon his head, And thousands in his footsteps tread; Nor, less renown'd for martial deed, They in the field of battle bleed; And wounds their patriot zeal increase; War with the Turk to me brings peace. VI. What unknown ecstasies my soul surprise? What new-born image fills my wond'ring eyes? The bursting skies a brighter image shed, The temple opes, the portals wide outspread, The heav'nly light around with sudden blaze A brilliant hero in the midst displays. With crown of purple majesty arrayed, And glory in a circle round his head. How then this...

This book was released on 2020-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Wembley in 1966, Englandâ (TM)s football captain Bobby Moore received the World Cup from Queen Elizabeth and FIFA president Stanley Rous. This book takes the life of Rous (1895-1986) as a lens through which to understand the escalating profile of football both nationally and globally. It illuminates how it was possible for Rous to emerge from a Suffolk village and ascend to the top of FIFAâ (TM)s hierarchy and the company of elites. Educational opportunities, service in the Great War and an international refereeâ (TM)s profile prepared Rous for the position of Secretary at The Football Association, alongside charity work in World War II and organisational responsibilities for the London 1948 Olympics. His FIFA role combined diplomacy with development, in post-colonial times of volatile international relations. The book informs scholars and fans alike, showing too that Rousâ (TM)s crowning achievement as FIFA President at the 1966 World Cup marked a peak for Englandâ (TM)s power and influence in world football.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Whitelands, an English art historian, is invited to Madrid to value an aristocrat's collection. At a welcome lunch he encounters Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder and leader of the Falange, a nationalist party whose antics are bringing the country ever closer to civil war. The paintings turn out to be worthless, but before Whitelands can leave for London the duque's daughter Paquita reveals a secret and genuine treasure, held for years in the cellars of her ancestral home. Afraid that the duque will cash in his wealth to finance the Falange, the Spanish authorities resolve to keep a close eye on the Englishman, who is also being watched by his own embassy. As Whitelands--ever the fool for a pretty face--vies with Primo de Rivera for Paquita's affections, he learns of a final interested party: Madrid is crawling with Soviet spies, and Moscow will stop at nothing to secure the hidden prize.

Book excerpt: Though forever in the spotlight, the latest act of David Beckham's career played out on foreign fields has outshone all previous drama: full of intrigue, subplots and emotional highs and lows. His falling out with Ferguson and leaving Old Trafford; the bitter power struggle for his signature between Barca and Real; the hype of his inauguration and the tour of the Far East; the media circus decamping to Madrid, monitoring his every move; the behind the scenes politics of marketing and spin and the accusations that he had been bought to sell shirts; silencing his critics with performances that made him the fulcrum of the team; then finally falling from grace with the rest of the Galacticos as their pursuit of footballing perfection began to crumble. This is the story of that season told through Spanish eyes - tthe players, backroom staff, pundits and ordinary fans - by a man who was there as it happened.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hero of One Fat Englishman, a literary publisher and lapsed Catholic escaped from the pages of Graham Greene to the campus of Budweiser College in provincial Pennsylvania, is philandering, drunken, bigoted, and very very fat, not to mention in a state of continuous spluttering rage against everything, not least his own overgrown self. In America, Roger Micheldene must deal with not so obliging suburban housewives, aspiring Jewish novelists who as good as clean his clock, stray deer, bad cigars, children who beat him at Scrabble (“It was no wonder that people were horrible when they started life as children”), and America itself, while making ever-more desperate and humiliating overtures to Helen, a Scandinavian ice queen. If only Roger would dare to show some real feeling of his own. This comic masterpiece—about the 1950s crashing drunkenly into the consumerist 1960s and a final scion of a disintegrating Old World empire encountering its upstart New World offspring—is one of Kingsley Amis’s greatest and most caustic performances.
