Book Description
At 0310 hours on 7 June 1917, the pre-dawn gloom on the Western Front was shattered by the 'pillars of fire' - the rapid detonation of 19 huge mines, secreted in tunnels under the German lines and containing 450 tonnes of explosives. Admitted by the Germans to be a 'masterstroke', the devastating blasts caused 10,000 soldiers to later be posted simply as 'missing'. Launching a pre-planned attack into the carnage, supported by tanks and a devastating artillery barrage, the British took the strategic objective of Messines Ridge within hours. A rare example of innovation and success in the First World War (1914-1918), this book is a fresh and timely examination of a fascinating campaign.

Book Description
"ORBIT is an evidence-based approach to the analysis and training for interviewing high-value detainees by law enforcement, security services and the military. Although its origins reside as far back as 2005 it gained considerable traction after 2012 when the High Value Detainee Interrogation Group, formed in the wake of the Obama Administration in the US funded work for Prof Alison to look at its application in the context of interviews with high value targets. Since then Alison and colleagues have collected the largest corpus of data anywhere in the world of real suspect interviews with terrorist detainees. This book shows what they found - that rapport-based methods work and that coercion, persuasion and threats do not. Outlining the development of their own unique stance on rapport and its influences drawn from humanistic psychology, the authors show, through real life examples and careful analysis the reasons why 'harsh methods' must be rejected and why compassion and understanding work"--
