Book Description
Once she was betrayed, Avalon Boston quickly became the betrayer. Once a victim of cruel lies, she is now the one using brutal fictions as weapons of revenge. To the outside observer, young Avalon has it all. She is the daughter of a powerful Mafia boss, living in a grand mansion in Manchester, with servants to attend to her every whim. But to Avalon, her life is nothing more than a luxurious prison. Her mother is engaged in a passionate and dangerous affair with a much younger man, her once-beloved brother Xavier is now a pawn of her enemies, and her perfect life is simply ... grim. Desperate, Avalon takes flight, seeking sanity, anonymity, and a shred of purpose in her life. On a rainy, cold night, the fates guide her to a sad back alley of Birmingham, where she meets little Cara, a sad-eyed orphan who joins Avalon on her journey to freedom. Avalon vows never to return home again, and she soon finds herself recruited to join a top-secret organization. But even though she thinks she's left the drama of her family behind, the shadow of her past races to destroy her new life. On her very first mission, her resolve is tested. If Avalon fails, the price will be more than she could imagine paying.

The Great Betrayal

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
'Very funny' Spectator Book of the Year 'Robust and entertaining' Sunday Times Book of the Year 'Betcha we don't leave.' I wrote that on the evening of 24 June 2016, once the euphoria had passed. A lot of us leavers, despite being elderly and thick, knew. The establishment wouldn't let it happen. Quite how the establishment stopped us from leaving the European Union, though, we could never have guessed. A mandate which became a process and resulted in the UK being the laughing stock of the world. We might have guessed at the relentless howls of outrage from that extreme block of transgressed remainers, the hostility of the House of Commons, the civil service and the BBC. That was a given, and it all played its part. But beyond our imagination was the readiness of politicians to ignore or subvert the vote, the sheer ineptitude of those charged with negotiating our withdrawal, the spite of the EU and the intercession of that usual thing, events. The Great Betrayal tells the story of a failed Brexit and a betrayal of the British people, drawn from interviews with those at the very centre of what became, in the end, a surreal charade.

Hunt for the Jews
Author: Jan Grabowski
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 025301087X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A revealing account of Polish cooperation with Nazis in WWII—a “grim, compelling [and] significant scholarly study” (Kirkus Reviews). Between 1942 and 1943, thousands of Jews escaped the fate of German death camps in Poland. As they sought refuge in the Polish countryside, the Nazi death machine organized what they called Judenjagd, meaning hunt for the Jews. As a result of the Judenjagd, few of those who escaped the death camps would survive to see liberation. As Jan Grabowski’s penetrating microhistory reveals, the majority of the Jews in hiding perished as a consequence of betrayal by their Polish neighbors. Hunt for the Jews tells the story of the Judenjagd in Dabrowa, Tarnowska, a rural county in southeastern Poland. Drawing on materials from Polish, Jewish, and German sources created during and after the war, Grabowski documents the involvement of the local Polish population in the process of detecting and killing the Jews who sought their aid. Through detailed reconstruction of events, “Grabowski offers incredible insight into how Poles in rural Poland reacted to and, not infrequently, were complicit with, the German practice of genocide. Grabowski also, implicitly, challenges us to confront our own myths and to rethink how we narrate British (and American) history of responding to the Holocaust” (European History Quarterly).

SALVATION: PLAN A
Author: JUNTIAN HE
Publisher: American Academic Press
ISBN: 1631815431
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
The book is divided into three parts: “Philosophy of Thought” (mainly), “Revelation of Power,” and “Philosophical Theory: ‘Civilization and Barbarism’.” The first is “Philosophy of Thought,” which establishes a suitable practical ideological basis—an ideological system: non-individual-oriented thought, and then discovers the correct view of the universe. The latter two articles are more historical. They prove the importance of wisdom and the importance and urgency of popularizing wisdom in society. This book shows that we have come to a key point in history.
