Wolf Hall meets Demon Copperhead in a sharply ambitious, brilliantly imagined and hugely entertaining story of intrigue, deceit, revenge and ambition'The Pretender has everything: history richly drawn, amazing characterisation, humour, wit, vigour and bravery. It's magnificent' Emma Stonex________________________________________Kill the pretender. Do not let it be known that there was a pretender to kill. The year is 1480 and England is in peril. The much-despised Richard III is not long for the throne, and the man who will become Henry VII stands poised to snatch the crown for himself. But for twelve-year-old John Collan, living in a remote village with his widowed father, these matters seem far away. But history has other plans for John. Stolen from his family, exiled - first to Oxford, then to Burgundy, and then Ireland - and apprenticed to a series of unscrupulous political operators, he finds himself groomed for power; not as John Collan, but as Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick - and rightful heir to the throne. Far from home at the Irish court, preparing for a war that will see him become king or die trying, John has just his wits - and the slippery counsel of his host's daughter, the unconventional Joan - to navigate the choppy waters ahead. Seething with revenge and machination, sparkling with wit and humanity, and roaring with adventure and bravado, The Pretender is the captivating true story of a young man tossed into the chaos of history as it happens.

From the legendary author Edmund White, a stunning, revelatory memoir of a lifetime of gay love and sex.

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.
