Hitler’s Inner Circle: Monsters and Yes-Men is a gripping and unflinching examination of the personalities who shaped the Third Reich from within. While Hitler remains the focal point of Nazi horror, he did not act alone. This book exposes the men who not only supported him but often rivalled him in ruthlessness, loyalty, and ambition.

Ribbentrop’s Watch: The True Story of a Nazi Artefact by Cyril Marlen is a haunting investigation into how a single object can reflect the shadows of an entire regime. Part biography, part historical mystery, and part moral reckoning, this gripping narrative follows the journey of a seemingly ordinary wristwatch once worn by Joachim von Ribbentrop—Nazi Germany’s Foreign Minister and one of the most loyal figures in Hitler’s inner circle.

The Fall of the Reich: The Final 100 Days tells the harrowing and historically rich story of how the Third Reich unravelled during its final, desperate months between January and May 1945. What was once a seemingly invincible Nazi war machine had by 1945 become a hollow shell—crumbling under the weight of defeat, dissent, and destruction. From the failed final offensive in the Ardennes to the thunder of Soviet artillery at the gates of Berlin, this book tracks the intense and often chaotic events that sealed Hitler’s fate and reshaped the modern world.

In the shadows of World War II, the Allies staged a military illusion so bold, so convincing, that it changed the course of history. This is the story of Operation Fortitude—the fake army, the rubber tanks, the phantom generals, and the elaborate radio chatter that convinced Hitler the D-Day invasion would strike somewhere else. It wasn’t just a trick. It was a masterclass in strategic deception. And it worked.

Originally written in 1944 by the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.), the wartime predecessor to the CIA, the Simple Sabotage Field Manual is a fascinating and often startling guide to subtle disruption during World War II. Designed to be used by ordinary citizens behind enemy lines, this manual offered clever, low-risk ways to undermine operations—from misfiling paperwork to tampering with machinery and stalling meetings.

Samurai! is the gripping autobiography of Saburō Sakai, one of Japan’s most renowned fighter pilots during World War II. Co-written with Fred Saito and Martin Caidin, the book chronicles Sakai’s rise from a poor rural upbringing to becoming an elite Zero pilot in the Imperial Japanese Navy.

In the bleak first half of the Second World War, Britain stood alone against the Axis forces. Isolated and outmanoeuvred, it seemed as though she might fall at any moment. Only an extraordinary effort of courage - by ordinary men and women - held the line. The Second World War is the defining experience of modern British history, a new Iliad for our own times. But, as Alan Allport reveals in this, the first part of a major new two-volume history, the real story was often very different from the myth that followed it.

At the eve of the Second World War, an estimated 1.6 million Jewish children lived in Nazi-occupied Europe. While 10,000 of them escaped to Britain in the Kindertransport, only some 500 found a new home in France. Here they attempted to begin again—but their refuge would all too soon become a trap. For the first time, Laura Hobson Faure brings to life the experiences of these children, and the Jewish and non-Jewish organizations who helped them. Drawing on survivors' testimonies as well as children's diaries, letters, drawings, songs, and poems, Who Will Rescue Us? recreates their journeys.

Monopoly X is the fascinating true story of what is arguably the most unusual and daring secret operation of World War II. The masterminds at England’s top-secret MI-9, and later America’s MIS-X, created a special version of the popular game, hiding tools, maps, and money within game boards—delivered by an unwitting Red Cross—to captured Allied servicemen held at gunpoint behind barbed wire in German prison camps. This ingenious and complex plot, dubbed “Monopoly X,” was never discovered by the Nazis and led to successful Allied breakouts.
