Peace and War A New Look at World War 2
Rudolf Raimond
|
In this exhaustively researched account, Rudolf Raimond examines the steps leading up to World War II and describes how the initial conflict expanded from western Europe to consume almost the entire world. From careful examination of source documents, including the speeches of several of the main protagonists - in particular Hitler, Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill - he establishes that the steps to war and its continuation were far from being entirely the responsibility of the Germans and shows that pro-war elements within the British establishment were a significant factor in the ensuing tragedy. He also looks at war crimes committed by the various belligerents and, while not in any way exculpating the Germans for the atrocities of the holocaust, shows that guilt is more evenly spread than is at present widely assumed. A fascinating new look at World War II. |

Why the orthodox approach to smoking cessation is flawed
Dr Gabriel Symonds
|
|
Available from Amazon |
||||||||
|
Though this has some effect, it doesn’t get to the heart of the problem. Tobacco doesn’t need to be ‘controlled’; it needs to be abolished.
Further, for smoking-cessation the emphasis should shift away from nicotine products and drugs to being nicotine- and drug-free. More attention should be paid to evidence which shows the best way to stop smoking is – just stop. Many smokers achieve this on their own, and for those who need help, the Symonds Method is simple, quick and gimmick-free. |

Funny Quotes about Marriage
Aubrey Malone
|
For brides-to-be, bridesmaids, brides and ex-brides, this book is for you. Marriage begins when you sink in his arms and ends with your arms in his sink. It begins with a knight in shining armour kissing a princess and ends with a bald fat man sitting across the table from a dishwasher. Put another way, marriage has three rings attached to it: engagement ring, wedding ring, suffering. If you’re thinking of going up the aisle anytime soon, this rib-tickling collection of quotes will make you think again. From the dangers of pre-nups to the horrors of stag (and hen) parties to the dating scene to the perils of s-e-x to the Big Day itself, this is a must-have book for the marriage-shy among you to have by your side. Just to remind you that it’s not all happyeveraftering when Mr Right – or Mr Always in the Right – slips the wedding band around the fourth finger of your left hand and swears undying troth. |

Sample, these bite-sized chunks of wit and wisdom from the Walking
Wounded, those turbulent souls who’ve ventured through the tunnel of
love and lived to tell the tale. You may never want to meet a member
of the opposite gender afterwards but at least you’ll have fun getting
put off the hairy so-and-soes - or not. |
