Like hundreds of towns and villages during the Second World War, Lidice, a small community in Czechoslovakia, experienced the sheer horror of Nazi terror. All the men were shot, the women sent to concentration camps, and most children murdered as a reprisal for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. The Nazis destroyed every building within sight, and a professional film crew filmed for international release the macabre scenes as they unfolded. Intended as a shock to the confidence of the United Nations and a statement of the invincibility of the Third Reich, the footage served only to strengthen the resolve of the Allies to defeat the Nazis once and for all. Making full use of the historical and archive sources available, The Path to Lidice creates a sharpened image of the political and social mood in Britain, Czechoslovakia, and America, from the time of the rise of the Sudeten German Party in 1936 to 1968 and the Prague Spring. For years, several significant questions have required more serious examination, such as - Who were the significant characters in the campaigns to rebuild Lidice? How did the movements come about in the first place? How were they managed and coordinated? What kept them alive post-war, when the tides of political expeditiousness had turned? The Path to Lidice provides some answers to these and many other questions at last. The Lidice atrocity shocked an American society still smarting from the Japanese bombing raid on Pearl Harbour on December 7th, 1941. Thanks to the literary war machine of the Writers' War Board, headed by Clifton Fadiman and Rex Stout, Lidice became an effective propaganda tool across the Western Hemisphere. Under the stewardship of a "Lidice Lives" committee, fronted by celebrities from the world of film, science, politics, and art, the story of Lidice found a receptive audience amongst millions of Americans, who now found themselves at war with Hitler. A rich source of anti-Nazi sentiment, Lidice reinforced President Roosevelt's calls for the United States' full entry into the European war. The movement caught the imagination as it spread throughout the Americas, with the re-naming of communities taking place across North, Latin, and South America, as well as the christenings of girls named Lidice. News of the crime appalled the people of Britain. There, in the City of Stoke-on-Trent, GP and Councillor, Dr Barnett Stross conceived the Lidice Shall Live movement. The region's colliers enthused the Miners' Federation of Great Britain to back their plans to resurrect the Czech village, phoenix-like, into a modern village for miners and their families - a project born of the dream of nationalisation that stirred within hearts and minds.At the launch of the Lidice Shall Live campaign on September the 6th 1942, at Hanley's Victoria Hall, Czechoslovakia's President-in-exile, Dr Edvard Benes stated"This meeting has made it clear that Lidice has not died, it lives on in the hearts of the people of Stoke-on-Trent, at least.">The Path to Lidice honours the thousands of people of all nationalities across the United States, Britain, Europe, the Western Hemisphere, and beyond, yet to be acknowledged for the part they played to help Lidice live again. It remembers the victims of atrocity in all its forms, and at all levels, everywhere. The book features contributions from the Lidice Lives organisation, the Lidice Memory association, the Lidice Memorial, and other international friends and associates, relatives of the campaigners, as well as contemporary international artists. The release of The Path to Lidice coincides with the 80th anniversaries of the US-inspired Lidice Lives campaign, and the British grassroots movement, Lidice Shall Live.

A captivating biography of Katharine, Duchess of Kent. Ideal for readers of Hugo Vickers, Anne de Courcy, Theo Aronson and Christopher Warwick. In this detailed biographical study of Katharine, Duchess of Kent, Helen Cathcart tells an enchanting story of a Yorkshire soldier squire's daughter who grew up to become an admired and popular member of the Royal Family. In this intimate and illuminating account, Cathcart charts the first forty years of the Duchess's life, from her birth during a snowstorm at the family home, Hovingham Hall, and wartime childhood through to schooldays at Castle Howard and early career working in a children's home. We also learn of her first meeting with Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent and of the affectionate friendship that matured into a royal romance. In The Duchess of Kent we follow the Duchess from Hovingham Hall and Coppins to Hong Kong and Germany as an Army officer's wife. We discover the deep veins of community service in her family, and the author reveals the source of the Duchess of Kent's wide popularity. Praise for Helen Cathcart: 'Wide acclaim as a royal biographer ... objective, uninhibited and penetrating' - Sunday Express 'Helen Cathcart writes about royalty as if she were one of them' - The Daily Mail 'The doyenne of royal biographers' - The Daily Telegraph 'A tireless chronicler of royalty' - The Guardian

A million years ago, humans walked the earth in tribes, their lives precariously short, their stories mostly untold.Ifa was such a woman. And her story is at the beginning of all things. As a woman raised in the 1950s, Henrietta Ballantine has always had to prove herself. Homeschooled to challenge her intellectually, Henrietta spent her childhood with a strict Russian tutor and an overbearing mother for whom she could do nothing right. It's her science-driven father who finally manages to give Henrietta refuge within the Smithsonian's glorious walls. There she learns a love of ancient things, of secrets hidden in the ground. Of fossils. Deciding to attend college and study paleontology, hoping knowledge will finally fill the emptiness inside her, Henrietta faces an uphill battle against those who refuse to see her as their equal in a male-dominated field. This, she expects. But as her studies bring her to dig sites across the country, Henrietta's adventures unearth something she never imagined: a romance with fellow geologist Frank Bailey, a man of few words, strong opinions, and an evolving belief in Henrietta's capabilities. Still, it isn't Frank who haunts her dreams: the relationship she can't seem to define is the one she has with a "guardian angel" whose voice Henrietta hears in her loneliest moments. A voice that calls to her across the ages. A voice that suddenly becomes very loud once Henrietta's excursions bring her to Africa. How could Henrietta and Ifa, two women born thousands of millennia apart, forge a connection, one that may ultimately fulfill Henrietta's greatest desire? The answer will be found deep beneath the sediment, in fossils that tell a wondrous story of endurance, of resilience...of women.

Dysfunction, a poetic force. Ms. Findlay crashes through her palatable fear to examine the prism of human experience, especially as a woman in all her various roles. The collected works resonate with the timbre of a strong voice examining all her limitations and all her strengths. There's no disguising pain in the poems, but her melodic illustration of hope in beautifully paced rhyme and rhythm floats to the surface. It is personally powerful and beautifully expressed. -Thomas Pryor - Author of "I Hate The Dallas Cowboys: Tales of a Scrappy New York Boyhood" Pauline Findlay's poetry is eye-opening, in that it depicts great imagery and stretches one's vocabulary. If you like an enjoyable challenge, she nails it right on the head. - Geo Derice - Author of "The Thirst is Real" and "Geo's Gems"These visceral poems from Pauline Findlay spring from a fierce and deep place in the author's life and heart. A powerful collection that is arresting, evocative, and won't leave you. -Chelsea Miller, The New Press

A beast that only knows hunting and killing in the most savage manner possible. Just imagine ... What would witnesses say about what they've just seen? What might survivors of a werewolf attack have to say knowing that they themselves will become a monster? And what about science? Is there any data on a phenomenon that no scholar or scientist can even agree exists? Is there legal standing for a creature that only lives and breathes for a few hours each month? What about the legal standing of the human host? How far might government go to hide evidence that werewolves existed? Are there stories from the past about the monsters? How could folklore become blood-soaked fact? Where do werewolves come from in the first place? City, town, or village, rural or in the north, a monster is hungry, and you just might be on the menu.
