Georgy is young, gregarious and fun - she is also large, self-confessedly ugly and desperate for love. Georgy bears her fate bravely as she alternates between playing the fool and humbling herself before Meredith, her pretty, callous flatmate, although when James, middle-aged socialite and self-imposed 'Uncle', asks Georgy to become his mistress, she is tempted to accept. Then Meredith announces that she is pregnant and Jos, the expectant father, decides he is in love with Georgy...

One of the thousands of Jewish children murdered at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators, Georges Halpern (1935–44) was torn from his parents in 1943 and spent his final two years at the children’s home in Izieu, France. While at Izieu, Georgy regularly wrote letters and sent drawings to his parents, describing his life at the children’s home, his dreams and his sorrow. Today, this remarkable collection of letters and drawings remains a testament to the courage and hope of a young boy caught in the midst of one the darkest chapters in the history of mankind. Georgy’s hopes for being reunited with his family ended with his murder at the age of eight in a gas chamber at Auschwitz. Born in Bucharest, Serge Klarsfeld was just 8 years old when his family’s home was raided by the Gestapo. While he, his mother and sister escaped, his father was killed at Auschwitz. Attorney, author and leading historian on the fate of the Jews in France during the Second World War, Klarsfeld has fought relentlessly to bring Nazi officials to justice.

It is arguable that Georgy Zhukov was the greatest of the Allied generals of the Second World War, surpassing Eisenhower, Montgomery or Patton in military effectiveness. Unlike his rival Red Army generals he was prepared to stand up to Stalin when necessary and although charming in his private life, was a brutal and decisive commander. This is the first major biography of the Soviet hero, drawing on newly available sources in the Russian archives and previously unpublished excerpts from Zhukov's own memoirs. Slightly off-mint.

Widely regarded as the most accomplished general of World War II, the Soviet military legend Marshal Georgy Zhukov at last gets the full-scale biographical treatment he has long deserved.   A man of indomitable will and fierce determination, Georgy Zhukov was the Soviet Union’s indispensable commander through every one of the critical turning points of World War II. It was Zhukov who saved Leningrad from capture by the Wehrmacht in September 1941, Zhukov who led the defense of Moscow in October 1941, Zhukov who spearheaded the Red Army’s march on Berlin and formally accepted Germany’s unconditional surrender in the spring of 1945. Drawing on the latest research from recently opened Soviet archives, including the uncensored versions of Zhukov’s own memoirs, Roberts offers a vivid portrait of a man whose tactical brilliance was matched only by the cold-blooded ruthlessness with which he pursued his battlefield objectives.   After the war, Zhukov was a key player on the geopolitical scene. As Khrushchev’s defense minister, he was one of the architects of Soviet military strategy during the Cold War. While lauded in the West as a folk hero—he was the only Soviet general ever to appear on the cover of Time magazine—Zhukov repeatedly ran afoul of the Communist political authorities. Wrongfully accused of disloyalty, he was twice banished and erased from his country’s official history—left out of books and paintings depicting Soviet World War II victories. Piercing the hyperbole of the Zhukov personality cult, Roberts debunks many of the myths that have sprung up around Zhukov’s life and career to deliver fresh insights into the marshal’s relationships with Stalin, Khrushchev, and Eisenhower.   A remarkably intimate portrait of a man whose life was lived behind an Iron Curtain of official secrecy, Stalin’s General is an authoritative biography that restores Zhukov to his rightful place in the twentieth-century military pantheon.

Two centuries after the Battle of Waterloo, Alice Marie Crossland offers here a new account, based largely on unpublished sources, of the flirtatious friendship that seems to have occupied at least part of the Duke of Wellington’s mind in the hours leading up to the battle. Lady Georgina Lennox met the future Duke soon after his return from India in 1804, when he took up a post as chief secretary to her father. At the time, she was a young, beautiful, and intensely popular young woman, surrounded by suitors, and she and the Duke enjoyed a close, teasingly intimate friendship. As the years went by, it blossomed into a true bond, strengthened by a broader friendship between the two families. The night before the Battle of Waterloo, Lady Lennox’s mother, the Duchess of Richmond, threw a ball for the officers that has become legendary for its glitz and defiance in the face of the coming action. Georgy herself had a front-row seat at the battle, and afterwards she helped tend wounded soldiers in Brussels. Crossland tells the story of Georgy and Wellington brilliantly, then moves beyond it to Lady Lennox’s later life, which saw her marry the future Baron de Ros, who became a spy and later governor of the Tower of London; when she died at ninety-six, none could say she hadn’t lived on a large scale.

“I couldn’t put it down as I began to read . . . and I was stirred to tears as I read of Georgy Slesarev, first violinist of Moscow’s Bolshoi Theater. His personal commitment to Jesus Christ, and his refusal to ‘allow the music to be stopped,’ cost him his life. Read this incredible story; it will be a soul-searching experience. I enthusiastically commend it to you.”  —Cliff Barrows, Billy Graham Association “This book is a MUST for every Christian who wants to know what it means to be a witness and what it was like to be a believer under Communism. I had to ask myself, Would I be that strong if faced with Georgy’s choice? They Could Not Stop the Music is a book on the level of The Persecutor.”   —Jerome Hines, Opera Singer, retired, Metropolitan Opera, New York “They Could Not Stop the Music rivets the reader’s attention with one of the most thoroughly documented accounts of martyrdom in the twentieth century. Here is a faithful record of the life of a first violinist of the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra who went to his death with an unwavering faith in Christ. READ THE BOOK! Your idea of ‘witnessing’ will never be the same again!”  —Tom Elliff, Pastor. First Southern Baptist Church, Del City, Oklahoma

As lead singer of Australian pop and folk group The Seekers, Judith Durham was one of the most famous people in the music world in the mid 60Â’s. Through her solo career and lately the world tour of the reunited group, she maintains a sell out level of success as she enters her sixtieth year. Hey There Georgy GirlÂ’ was a No 1 best seller in both the UK and the USA and The Seekers had four more massive hits in the UK with IÂ’ll Never Find Another You, A World Of Our Own, The Carnival Is Over and Morningtown Ride. They were voted ‘Best New Group Of 1965Â’ by the readers of the New Musical Express, and Judith made national headlines when she left the group to go solo.  More than a straightforward music biography, Judith tells the story of her ultimately tragic marriage to her fellow musician Ron Edgeworth and how amid the euphoria of her public life she lived with the knowledge that he was fatally ill with Motor Neurone Disease. Although Ron lost his battle against the disease in December 1994, he will always be, for Judith, a symbol of immense strength and courage. Since his death Judith has spent hours and days of her life dedicated to raising money to fight this illness and for this as much as her musical success she was rewarded in the QueenÂ’s New Year Honours List of 1995. Meantime her career has gone from strength to strength both in the UK and in Australia.
