"A volunteer was urgently required for a secret assignment of the highest priority. He must be of non-Jewish appearance, speak German perfectly, and preferably have a German or Austrian background. A good knowledge of French on a conversational level was also desirable. ...This man would be required to work in dangerous circumstances, totally on his own."James Leasor first heard of The Unknown Warrior's unique assignment from Major General Sir Leslie Hollis, KCB, KBE, Senior Military Assistant Secretary to the War Cabinet and Chiefs of Staff Committee. Some years later, when more had been made public about the immense secret contribution to victory of these deception plans, Sir Ronald Wingate, Bt., CB, CMG, CIE, OBE, recalled this episode, in which he had played such an important part. At that time, James Leasor was working on Green Beach, which described an incident in the 1942 Dieppe landing, when another volunteer, Flight-Sergeant Jack Nissen, a radar expert in the RAF, accompanied the Canadians to assess a new German radar station at Pourville. Because of Nissen's knowledge of Allied radar, orders were given that if capture seemed likely he was to be killed by his escort of 12 soldiers. Lord Mountbatten was horrified at these orders. He remarked that there had been no need whatever to put radar secret at risk when members of X-Troop were trained for such tasks. He suggested that James Leasor should write a book based on the experiences of these men.The Unknown Warrior is the true story of one of these men and his amazing part in the deception plans to persuade the Germans that the invasion would happen near Calais and not in Normandy and thus ensure that they did not commit their reserves until too late. Born to a humble German background, with a Jewish father and Catholic mother, he was brought up as English due to a mix-up when he was very small. Not really sure of his real name or nationality he is initially interned by the British but enlists for service and ends up in X-Troop. He volunteers for an unknown secret mission which sees him dropped in France, pursued by both the Resistance and the Germans, briefing first Rommel and then Hitler in a role that saved perhaps thousands of lives.

This is the expanded second edition of Chris Ward's profile of 101 Squadron, which has a long and glorious history, having been formed within the Royal Flying Corps in 1917. Transferred into the new Royal Air Force, the squadron disbanded after the Armistice. It was reformed in March 1928 and has remained in existence almost continuously ever since. Amongst numerous types, the squadron flew the Boulton-Paul Overstrand, introducing into RAF service the first powered gun turret. This achievement is commemorated in the squadron's official badge. Just before the outbreak of the Second World War, 101 Squadron re-equipped with the Bristol Blenheim, initially as a training and conversion unit. The war became real for the squadron after the fall of France, and it played a full part in the Battle of Britain, attacking enemy invasion barges and airfields, before moving into an anti-shipping role. The intensifying bombing war then occupied the squadron for the duration of hostilities. After eighteen months with the Wellington bomber, 101 Squadron found its weapon of choice, the mighty Lancaster. With this iconic aircraft, the unit became legendary. The Luftwaffe's night fighters were, by this time, becoming a lethal adversary and counter-measures were urgently needed if the bomber streams were to get through to their targets. 101 Squadron found its ultimate niche in the use of the highly-secret 'Airborne Cigar' (ABC) radio equipment, which allowed each aircraft so equipped to jam three German radio channels simultaneously. This had a very significant effect in reducing the capability of the defenders. 101 Squadron and its crews took part in every major campaign by Bomber Command, though this was inevitably at a high cost, with seven Lancasters out of twenty-six lost in a single night. The unit flew on more bombing raids than any other squadron in Bomber Command, but suffered the highest casualties, with 1176 airmen killed in action. Chris Ward's profile of 101 Squadron is a comprehensive history of the unit through World War Two and contains details of every aircraft operated between 1939 and 1945. The operational records are set in the context of the bombing campaign and leavened with personal stories. It is illustrated throughout with some 200 photographs, many never previously published, these having been provided by the 101 Squadron Association archives and private individuals, including the personal collection of Flight Lieutenant Rusty Waughman, DFC. This book is the definitive history of one of the RAF's most illustrious squadrons.

In October, 2023, 16,000 scientists from 163 countries signed a warning to humanity that global climate change, ocean acidification, a collapse of human society, and the extinction of species are increasingly possible. This century. That is: If humanity as a whole doesn't quickly get involved in working to restore wildlife habitat, protect Nature, and live more sustainably. If not, humanity faces: The complete collapse of society, including the end of the monetary, food, energy, water, sanitation, emergency, medical, transportation, communication, industrial, and government systems and services, the meltdown of hundreds of nuclear power plants, and the end of humanity. This century. Professor Lesley Hughes, board member of the Climate Change Authority, and an emeritus professor at Macquarie University recently said: "I don't know how many warnings the world needs. It's as if the human race has received a terminal medical diagnosis, and knows there is a cure, but has consciously decided not to save itself." In his book "Humanity: The Final Century," Daniel John Carey uses quotations from scientists, studies, and reports from around the world mixed with his own commentary in a documentary style of writing to explain the state of Earth, Nature, wildlife, and humanity, and how all of it can soon end as we know it, and that this century might be the end of human history. Carey reasons that humanity needs an intervention for its addiction to destroying Nature and Earth. With this book, he encourages the conversations and actions needed for the solutions to take place. How humans have been living is causing global ecocide and the mass destruction of Nature. If it continues, all evidence points to it causing the extinction of such a wide variety of species within coming decades, and temperatures so high with rising oceans and the instability of so much land that humanity will not survive. There are currently over 42,000 known species of plants and animals threatened with extinction. The planet once again had the hottest temperatures and the most number of forest fires and extreme floods that humans have ever experienced. Record-breaking floods, droughts, temperatures, crop loss, and desertification are accelerating. So are soil loss, pollution, ocean acidification, deep ocean heat, the melting of the ice caps and ocean ice, and the loss of permafrost. "As scientists, we are increasingly being asked to tell the public the truth about the crisis we face in simple and direct terms. The truth is that we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023. We are afraid of the uncharted territory we have now entered.">Currently, everything from the largest to the smallest forms of life are decreasing in numbers. For instance, in recent decades the populations of both birds and insects have been decreasing by at least two-percent per year. Humans cannot live without insects or birds, and other pollinating animals. It is only one example of the dire situation we are in. It is already impacting all of humanity. At what point will humanity change, and become the solution to the global degradation of the water, land, atmosphere, plants, and animals that humans depend on for life? Or, will it all soon end?

Embarking on a journey across diverse worlds and languages, Extended Family evokes the ancient patina of precious objects.Héctor Hoyos, Stanford University. Author of Things with a HistoryReyes-Ruiz continues to explore in depth the inner lives of expatriates and bicultural people. This time, without the exoticism of Thailand, Japan, or Dubai, we move to the streets of Manhattan and Queens, as well as graduate programs in anthropology. The result is a work of great refinement and subtlety.Patrick O'Connor, Oberlin College.
