Assignment Gestapo, Ljudbok
It feels as if the entire area is blown up. A long rumbling explosion shakes the German position. Then an infernal scream sounds. Through flashes of fire, they see Tiny’s huge silhouette with the light grey bowler on his head. He is standing by the end of the enemy trench with his machine gun resting on his hip. The tracer streak projectiles shoot out of the muzzle. Bewildered shapes flee in panic. - What a bunch of devils, the Russian lieutenant exclaims in admiration. Sven Hassel was sent to a penal battalion as a private in the German forces. Intensely and with brutal realism, he portrays the cruelty of the war, the Nazi crimes and the crude and cynical humor of the soldiers. With more than 50 million sold copies, this is one of the world’s best selling war novels. “A BRILLIANT SVEN HAZEL, MAYBE THE BEST. AN INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS NON THE LESS” L’ECHO DE LA VENTE, FRANCE

Assignment Sudan
The expedition to rescue General Gordon from the Sudan must be the most extraordinary military endeavour of the Victorian age. It pitched the elite of the British army, equipped with modern weaponry that included breech-loading rifles, artillery and machine guns, against a fanatical enemy mostly armed with swords and spears. Many, including those taking part, expected it to be a very one-sided affair. They sought a place in the relief column anticipating a jolly adventure that would earn them credit and medals but they were in for a rude awakening The campaign was mismanaged from the outset and their enemy knew how to take full advantage of the hostile environment. Incompetent commanders, jammed weapons and a plan that was never going to work, all played their part. At one point, the survival of the advance party rested entirely on the courage of a seven-year-old Sudanese boy. This second instalment in the adventures of war correspondent Thomas Harrison, (grandson of Thomas Flashman

NO ORDINARY ASSIGNMENT
'A haunting memoir of disarming honesty. . . a remarkable testament to the anguish and the beauty of foreign correspondence.'--Roger Cohen, New York Times Paris bureau chief and author of An Affirming Flame From award-winning journalist Jane Ferguson, an unflinching memoir of ambition and war--from The Troubles to the fall of Kabul. Jane Ferguson has covered nearly every war front and humanitarian crisis of our time. She reported from Yemen as protests grew into the Arab Spring; she secured rare access to rebel-held Syria, where foreign journalists were banned, to cover its civil war. When the Taliban claimed Kabul in 2021, she was one of the last Western journalists to remain at the airport as thousands of Afghans, including some of her colleagues, struggled to evacuate. Living with sectarian violence was nothing new to Ferguson. As a child in Northern Ireland in the 1980s and '90s, The Troubles meant bomb threats and military checkpoints on the way to school were commonplace. Books
