Spying on the Reich : the cold war against Hitler / by Howard, R. T.,author.(CARDINAL)872843;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Germany reawakens -- Foreign spies keep watch -- The rise of Hitler -- The new mood in Berlin 1933 -- The Anglo-French spy networks inside Germany -- 'The reliable source' -- The French and Czechs watch the Reich -- 'The dark continent' -- The international spy effort -- Searching for new sources of information -- Spying on the German Navy -- Colonel Z and other spies -- The French step up their operations -- British intelligence watches the Reich -- The 'spies' who never were, 1937-1938 -- Watching Anschluss -- Intelligence and the Sudeten crises of 1938 -- Predicting Hitler's next move -- Intelligence and the Anglo-French alliance -- The 'spies' who caused panic -- Signals from the Reich -- The Nazi-Soviet pact -- The countdown to war."From 1933, these spy services watched with growing alarm as they tried to determine what sort of threat Hitler's regime would now pose to the rest of Europe. Would Germany rearm, either covertly or in open defiance of the outside world? Would Hitler turn his attention eastwards - or did he also pose a threat to the west? What were the feelings and attitudes of ordinary Germans, towards their own regime as well as the outside world? Despite intense rivalry and mistrust between them, these spy chiefs began to liaise and close ranks against Nazi Germany. At the heart of this loose, informal network were the British and French intelligence services, alongside the Poles and Czechs. Some other countries - Holland, Belgium, and the United States - stood at the periphery. Drawing on a wide range of previously unpublished British, French, German, Danish, and Czech archival sources, Spying on the Reich tells the story of Germany and its rearmament in the 1920s and 1930s; its relations with foreign governments and their intelligence services; and the relations and rivalries between Western governments, seen through the prism of the cooperation, or lack of it, between their spy agencies. Along the way, it addresses some of the most intriguing questions that still perplex historians of the period, such as how and why Britain defended Poland in September 1939, and what alternative policies could have been pursued?"--

Havoc [large print] : a Philip Mercer novel, book 7. by Du Brul, Jack B.(CARDINAL)644932;
Thriller fans who don't demand much realism in their reads should enjoy the first hardcover entry in bestseller Du Brul's adventure series featuring geologist and spy Philip Mercer (Vulcan Forge, etc.). The novel opens with an intriguing premise that the Hindenburg zeppelin blew up in 1937 as the result of sabotage aimed at keeping a crackpot academic's discoveries secret. In the present-day Central African Republic, Mercer hooks up with the de rigueur attractive but brainy female, Cali Stowe, who's a U.S. intelligence agent posing as a medical researcher. As the pair dodge death from violent insurgent armies in predictable action sequences, they exchange light banter and learn that the African nation is the source of a radioactive element coveted by terrorists that may have been used by Alexander the Great to defeat his foes.

World without end : an illustrated guide to the climate crisis / by Jancovici, Jean-Marc,author.; Blain, Christophe,illustrator.(CARDINAL)460173; Gauvin, Edward,translator.(CARDINAL)488800;
"There is no green energy. Nor pink, nor black. Nor clean nor dirty, for that matter. In this intelligent, eye-opening, and witty international bestseller, an eminent climate expert takes a graphic novelist on a journey to understand the profound changes that our planet is experiencing. The scientist, Jean-Marc Jancovici, explains the workings of superpowers and history; oil and climate; ecology, economics, and energy flows. He describes, in short, the world we live in today--a world whose future is deeply uncertain. The artist, Christophe Blain, intently listens and draws. As the pair come face to face with global warming, they--along with Mother Nature and a cast of others--create a picture of what the solution to our predicament actually looks like. It's not just about switching to renewable energy sources. It's about rethinking everything: our energy supply, our economies, and our whole world. We're left with a vision of the future in which food, education, housing, transport, and communities--in other words, all of us--come together and, with a few technological fixes, work to create a world without end."--

Spyfail : foreign spies, moles, saboteurs, and the collapse of America's counterintelligence / by Bamford, James,author.(CARDINAL)164436;
"Spyfail is about the highly dangerous and growing capability of foreign countries to conduct large-scale espionage within the United States and how the FBI and other agencies have failed to prevent it. These covert operations involve a variety of foreign countries--North Korea, Russia, Israel, China, and others--and include cyberattacks, espionage, psychological warfare, the infiltration of presidential campaigns, the smuggling of nuclear weapons components, and other incredibly nefarious actions. With his trademark deep investigative style, James Bamford digs as deep as one can go into these clandestine invasions and attacks, uncovering who's involved, how these spygames were carried out, and why none of this was stopped. Full of revelations, Spyfail includes access to previously secret and withheld documents, such as never-before-seen parts of the Mueller Report, and interviews with confidential sources. Throughout this stunning, eye-opening account, Spyfail demonstrates again and again how large a role politics, special interests, and corruption play in allowing these shocking foreign intrusions to continue--leaving America and its secrets vulnerable and undefended"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 401-461) and index.Introduction -- Book one: The saboteurs -- Book two: The extortionists -- Book three: The spies -- Book four: The smugglers -- Book five: The infiltrators -- Book six: The moles -- Book seven: The liquidators -- Book eight: The assassins -- Book nine: The fearmongers.

Kennedy, most Americans still think they have not been told the truth about his death. Chief Justice Earl Warren, who chaired the first inquiry, said "some things" that "involve security" might not be released in the lifetime of the then public. Millions of pages of assassination records were made public since the late 1990s.As of 2022, however, more than thirteen thousand declassified documents-most of them from CIA records-still contain redactions. President Biden ordered that all documents be released in December of 2022-unless he sanctions continued secrecy. Anthony Summers's account of the murder mystery that haunts America is one of the finest books on the assassination.

The social leap : the new evolutionary science of who we are, where we come from, and what makes us happy / by Hippel, William von,author.(CARDINAL)783594;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 263-277) and index.Part I. How we became who we are -- Expelled from Eden -- Out of Africa -- Crops, cities, and kings -- Sexual selection and social comparison -- Part II. Leveraging the past to understand the present -- Homo socialis -- Homo innovatio -- Elephants and baboons -- Tribes and tribulations -- Part III. Using knowledge of the past to build a better future -- Why evolution gave us happiness -- Finding happiness in evolutionary imperatives -- Epilogue.In the compelling popular science tradition of Sapiens and Guns, Germs, and Steel, a groundbreaking and eye-opening exploration that applies evolutionary science to provide a new perspective on human psychology, revealing how major challenges from our past have shaped some of the most fundamental aspects of our being. The most fundamental aspects of our lives-from leadership and innovation to aggression and happiness-were permanently altered by the "social leap" our ancestors made from the rainforest to the savannah. Their struggle to survive on the open grasslands required a shift from individualism to a new form of collectivism, which forever altered the way our mind works. It changed the way we fight and our proclivity to make peace, it changed the way we lead and the way we follow, it made us innovative but not inventive, it created a new kind of social intelligence, and it led to new sources of life satisfaction. In The Social Leap, William von Hippel lays out this revolutionary hypothesis, tracing human development through three critical evolutionary inflection points to explain how events in our distant past shape our lives today. From the mundane, such as why we exaggerate, to the surprising, such as why we believe our own lies and why fame and fortune are as likely to bring misery as happiness, the implications are far reaching and extraordinary. Blending anthropology, biology, history, and psychology with evolutionary science, The Social Leap is a fresh and provocative look at our species that provides new clues about who we are, what makes us happy, and how to use this knowledge to improve our lives.

Life is more beautiful than paradise : a jihadists's own story / by Birrī, Khālid,author.(CARDINAL)544648; Davies, Humphrey T.(Humphrey Taman),translator.(CARDINAL)545555;
In 1986, when this autobiography opens, the author is a typical fourteen-year-old boy in Asyut in Upper Egypt. Attracted at first by the image of a radical Islamist group as 'strong Muslims', his involvement develops until he finds himself deeply committed to its beliefs and implicated in its activities. This ends when, as he leaves the university following a demonstration, he is arrested. Prison, a return to life on the outside, and attending Cairo University all lead to Khaled al-Berry'seventual alienation from radical Islam. <p> This book opens a window onto the mind of an extremist who turns out to be disarmingly like many other clever adolescents, and bears witness to a history with whose reverberations we continue to live. It also serves as an intelligent and critical guide for the reader to the movement's unfamiliar debates and preoccupations, motives and intentions. Fluently written, intellectually gripping, exciting, and often funny, Life is More Beautiful than Paradise provides a vital key to the understanding of a world that is both a source of fear and a magnet of curiosity for the west.
