Adolf Hitler described the Organisation Todt as 'the greatest construction organisation of all time'. In 1945, British intelligence credited it with having carried out in little over five years 'the most impressive building programme since Roman times'. It was from this organisation, headed by Albert Speer, that Hitler enlisted the nation's leading engineers and architects to build his empire. In time, it became an indispensable partner to the SS and the Wehrmacht and led to the deaths of millions.In Unknown Enemy, Charles Dick reveals for the first time the full extent of the Organisation Todt and its long arm across Europe and the Reich. In wartime, its operations relied mainly on Germany's slave labour system, the largest such exploitation of foreign labour since the end of the Transatlantic Slave Trade - and one in which millions of civilians, Jews and prisoners of war lost their lives. Dick takes us inside the OT's vast building projects throughout German-occupied Europe, from the Arctic circle to the Balkans and deep into what the Third Reich termed its 'eastern Lebensraum', to tell the story of how engineers and builders - so-called 'ordinary men' - perpetrated some of the gravest war crimes under its banner.Despite its extensive network, the Organisation Todt largely managed to slip under the radar of war prosecutors after Germany's defeat. Drawing on extensive new research, first-person accounts and survivor testimony, Unknown Enemy finally unearths its dark story.

By the winner of the Betty Trask Prize - an atmospheric and powerfully menacing story about family, secrets and violence'A ruthless and minutely observed reckoning with the stories, beliefs, and places we make to shelter from fear of death ... Groundwater masterfully and subtly begins to re-enchant all that we have reduced' Amber Husain_______________________________________________John and Liz have left the city behind to move to a remote house on the shores of the lake. Though the house is barely unpacked, Liz's sister, with her children and her husband, have come to visit for the August bank holiday weekend. Over the course of a hot, slow weekend, tensions simmer; things go unsaid - between the two couples, between the two sisters. Their time together is punctured by visits from Jim, the solitary local warden for the area; and a group of students camping nearby draw closer and closer, finally infiltrating the house - and bringing their own tensions and hierarchies with them. As the weekend draws to a close, the landscape reveals a violence that has long lain hidden - and the summer builds to its harrowing climax. Taut and menacing, full of disquiet and tenderness, Groundwater is about the gulfs that lies between us and those we love - and the miraculous ways our deepest desires and fears manifest.

Using Palestine as a case study, Recognition Politics in Settler Colonial States shows how recognition politics operate to legitimize long-standing colonial power structures.In existing scholarship, recognition has been seen as an asset coveted by indigenous communities. This book forwards a new, theoretically ground-breaking perspective. Emile Badarin shows that in colonial contexts, settlers use recognition to legitimize and normalize the dispossession and elimination of Indigenous people. More than this, settler-colonial states themselves actively pursue recognition, employing it as a means to further the elimination of the indigenous societies they seek to replace. In making the case, the book critically examines the Euromodern categories of race, racism and racial hierarchies and draws new conclusions about the interplay between colonialism, racism and Zionism. Central to this analysis is how anti-Zionism has been strategically equated with anti-Semitism, and effectively used as a tool for the advancement of both settler-colonialism in Palestine and Israel's recognition on the international stage. The book delves into indigenous normative resistance against colonial recognition politics through the lens of the Palestinian practice of ?umud (steadfastness), extracting its philosophy of liberation as a pathway towards a decolonial future for all in Palestine and beyond.
