This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of 30 years' work - examines the two tyrants during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history. Yet despite the fact they were bitter opponents, Laurence Rees shows that Hitler and Stalin were, to a large extent, different sides of the same coin. Hitler's charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin's regimented rule by fear, and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin's change in behaviour in response to events.

Puppies are eating machines. Since they eat so much, this makes them potty machines. They grow and develop rapidly at the puppy stage, and they eat lots of food, burn up tons of energy, and they need to eliminate often and usually go wherever they want. A mother’s training is the beginning of a puppy’s early training. Your puppy instinctively knows not to use the potty where they sleep. This makes a puppy as young as six weeks a bit easier when trying to teach them the basics of potty training.

Laurence Rees, in his magnum opus, combines largely unpublished testimony with the latest academic research to create the first accessible and authoritative account of the Holocaust in over three decades. Rees argues that whilst hatred of the Jews was always at the epicentre of Nazi thinking - and the Holocaust was the most appalling crime in history - what happened cannot be fully understood without considering the murder of the Jews alongside other Nazi plans to kill millions of non-Jews as well.

You get over the fear of death (because you start looking forward to it) and the smell of fish (because it quickly becomes your breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Boredom is an issue, sure, but it’s not the main one; the biggest problem is not being able to get away from everyone.

This is a novella. Pre-launch review: Tim’s – the author’s – journey through the Falklands war is very well drawn and I felt it offered me a strong taste of the experiences he had - experiences which were arduous to say the least, yet littered with army humour. The love story with Elly is mainly centred on letters they shared and I will admit to reaching for the tissues at the end. Two people separated by war and united through love. The Falklands Engagement is a factually correct account of the author’s experience during the Falklands war, but the love story aspect is fictitious....
