Many World War Two fighter pilots have written their wartime biographies, Tom Neil included, but most of these accounts are tempered by 60 years of hindsight along with concern for the feelings of others. Tom Neil decided that it was now time to tell the stories that previously he couldn't; and came up with a unique approach. By writing them in a short story format, and modifying various aspects for both dramatic effect and also to protect the identities of the individuals involved, he has produced a series of moving and fascinating stories, the first four of whichare published in Flight into Darkness. Illustrated with over 30 specially commissioned pencil sketches by award-winning aviation artist Mark Postlethwaite.

A harrowing, action-packed account of the author's series of audacious escapes from the Nazis' Final Solution--"riveting...a fascinating and moving piece of history" (Library Journal). Young Leo Bretholz survived the Holocaust by escaping from the Nazis (and others) not once, but seven times during his almost seven-year ordeal crisscrossing war-torn Europe. He leaped from trains, outran police, and hid in attics, cellars, anywhere that offered a few more seconds of safety. First he swam the River Sauer at the German-Belgian border. Later he climbed the Alps on feet so battered they froze to his socks--only to be turned back at the Swiss border. He crawled out from under the barbed wire of a French holding camp, and hid in a village in the Pyrenees while gendarmes searched it. And in the dark hours of one November morning, he escaped from a train bound for Auschwitz. Leap into Darkness is the sweeping memoir of one Jewish boy's survival, and of the family and the world he left behind.

Warren T T. White distinguished graduate of VMI, class of 1941, left his commission as a platoon leader in the army cavalry to join the army air corp.

The pilot was killed and one engine of the plane caught fire. White first dropped his bombs, then ordered the crew to bail out. White was captured, interrogated for four days and then incarcerated in Stalag Luft 1 at Barth.

A historical treasure!.

Shokat's extensive biography of Bakhtiar is a significant contribution to the political history of Iran after WWII. Bakhtiar's long presence on Iran's political stage, as a prominent member of the opposition to the Shah, his brief tenure as the last prime minister of Iran before the establishment of the Islamic Republic, and his subsequent high-profile opposition in exile, and his assassination in 1991 by the agents of that regime, provide an extraordinary lens through which to examine Iranian politics and society during that period. Shokat has consulted an extensive range of primary and secondary sources, many of them previously unexamined, in Persian, English, French, and German, in various national archives. He has also interviewed various political personalities including Bakhtiar's relatives and associates. This unprecedented account of Bakhtiar's life and the changing Iranian political milieus he lived through is a work of immense historical achievement and significance.

Few films have been so keenly awaited or the subject of so much internet debate as the twelfth Star Trek movie -- the first since 2002 -- which is scheduled to be released in May 2009. Directed by J.J. Abrams, creator of cutting-edge cult television shows Lostand Alias, the film is expected to launch the Star Trekfranchise into a new stellar era. Going back to the very beginnings of the classic Star Trek, the film tells how James T. Kirk, the half-Vulcan Spock, Dr McCoy, engineer Montgomery Scott and crew members Chekov, Sulu and Uhura first came together as rookie Starfleet recruits, and how they embraced the destiny that would later send them out across the galaxy accompanied by the immortal words: 'These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise…' A largely brand new cast including Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto (Heroes) as Spock, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Karl Urban as McCoy alongside Eric Bana, Winona Ryder and Leonard Nimoy will bring Star Trekto a whole new audience, while at the same time Alan Dean Foster's novelization will enthrall both existing fans and a new generation of readers.
