OPERATION MINCEMEAT(ISBN=9780307453280)
Praise for the U.S. edition: "Here, finally, is the complete story with its fullcast of characters (not a dull one among them), pure cathnip tofans of World War II thrillers and a lot of fun for everyoneelse." — Joseph Kanon, Washington Post Book World "Brilliant and almost absurdly entertaining…The cast of charactersinvolved in Mincemeat, as the caper was called, was extraordinary,and Macintyre tells their stories with gusto." — Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker "OPERATION MINCEMEAT is utterly, to employ a dead word, thrilling.But to call it thus is to miss the point slightly in terms ofadmiring it properly….What makes OPERATION MINCEMEAT so winning, inaddition to Mr. Macintyre’s meticulous research and the layers ofhis historical understanding, is his elegant, jaunty, and veryBritish high style." — Dwight Garner, New York Times "Macintyre, whose previous book chronicled the incredible exploitsof Eddie Chapman, the crook turned spy known as Zigzag, excels atthis sort of twisted nar

Jonathan Raban ambles and pickshis way across the Montana prairie, called "The Great AmericanDesert" until Congress offered 320-acre tracts of barren land toimmigrants with stardust in their eyes. Raban s prosemakes love to the waves of land, red dirt roads, and skeletons ofhomesteads that couldn t survive the Dirty Thirties.

From Publishers Weekly Although Hitlertook his own life, there was no shortage of people who wanted, andattempted, to do it for him throughout his political career.Drawing on newly opened archives in Germany and elsewhere, Britishhistorian Moorhouse ( Microcosm: Portrait of a Central EuropeanCity ) casts a wide net, chronicling failed assassinationattempts by disaffected individuals in the early days of Hitler'sreign, such as radical university student Maurice Bavaud, whosethree easily thwarted tries in November 1938 got him guillotined;the efforts of a British group of James Bond–like spies armed with,among other things, "exploding rats"; and the well-known attemptsof German officers, such as Hitler's architect Albert Speer.Moorhouse also brings to light little-known would-be-assassins,such as members of the Polish underground. Most of theassassination attempts Moorhouse describes failed because of poorplanning; others fell victim to circumstance, while some may simplyhave been rumors, making for a comp

Thoughtful, thorough and insightful, [Ackroyd] is at least asmuch interpreter as historian. He brings this iconic city to vividlife ... While Venice is by no means an orthodox traveler's guide,it's a wonderful introduction to a city that has cast a particularspell since the fifth century ... A portrait so vivid it's aromatic... Intoxicating. — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Ackroyd provides a history of and meditation on the actual andimaginary Venice in a volume as opulent and paradoxical as the cityitself. . . . How Ackroyd deftly catalogues the overabundance ofthe city’s real and literary tropes and touchstones is itself akind of tribute to La Serenissima , as Venice is called, andhis seductive voice is elegant and elegiac. The resulting book is,like Venice, something rich, labyrinthine and unique that makesitself and its subject both new and necessary.” — Publishers Weekly Praise from the UK: "Ackroyd is hugely intelligent and formidably industrious; therecan be few people, Venetian or foreign
