Hitler's Religion
Summary
For a man whom history can never forget, Adolf Hitler remains a persistent mystery on one front - his religious faith. Atheists tend to insist Hitler was a devout Christian. Christians counter that he was an atheist. And still others suggest that he was a practicing member of the occult. None of these theories are true, says historian Richard Weikart. Delving more deeply into the question of Hitler's religious faith than any researcher to date, Weikart reveals the startling and fascinating truth about the most hated man of the 20th century: Adolf Hitler was a pantheist who believed nature was God. In Hitler's Religion, Weikart explains how the laws of nature became Hitler's only moral guide - how he became convinced he would serve God by annihilating supposedly "inferior" human beings and promoting the welfare and reproduction of the allegedly superior Aryans in accordance with racist forms of Darwinism prevalent at the time.

Lions, Liars, Donkeys and Penguins
Summary
This is a searing, unconventional, honest, and deeply personal attempt to bring what has been hidden into the light for all to see. Alison was a vulnerable, mentally ill patient who was taken advantage of by an older male nurse. As a result, she became pregnant and a crisis abortion was arranged by staff at the mental health hospital. Alison emerged from the care of the NHS more damaged than when she had been admitted and took her life on what would have been her child's third birthday. Though the names are known and the acts have been admitted, no one has ever been held accountable for the crimes committed against her. Alison and her family have been spectacularly failed by Britain's most cherished institution, the National Health Service, and failed by the police and Crown Prosecution Service. While this book pays tribute to the many leaderless heroes on the frontline of healthcare and public services, it is scathing about the lack of honesty and integrity in the hierarchy and management of these services. This is a true and tragic story about the consequences of the abuse of power, the hiding of wrongdoing, and a quest for truth, accountability, and justice that is not yet over.

The Devil's Library
Summary
"A gripping, atmospheric debut. I couldn't put it down." (Eve Harris, Booker long-listed author of The Marrying of Chani Kaufman)
"Pugh's first novel is a magnificent achievement. Let us hope he returns to enthrall us with another very soon." (David Dickinson, author of the Powerscourt series)
The Otiosi? As far as Mathew Longstaff knows, they're just a group of harmless scholars with an eccentric interest in the works of antiquity. When they ask him to travel east to recover a lost text from Ivan the Terrible's private library, he can't think of anything but the reward - home and a return to England and an end to the long years of exile and warfare.
But the Otiosi are on the trail of a greater prize than Longstaff realizes - the legendary "Devil's Library". And they are not alone. Gregorio Spina, the Pope's spymaster and Chief Censor, is obsessed with finding the Library. It's not the accumulated wisdom of centuries he's after - a swamp of lies and heresy in his opinion - but among the filth, like a diamond at the center of the Devil's black heart, Spina believes that God has placed a treasure, a weapon to defeat the Antichrist and pitch his hordes back into hell.
Only Longstaff, together with the unpredictable physician Gaetan Durant can stop Spina using the Library to plunge Europe into a second Dark Ages. The two adventurers fight their way south, from the snowfields of Muscovy to the sun-baked plains of Italy, where an ageing scholar and his beautiful, young protégé hold the final piece of the puzzle. But is it already too late? Can the four of them take on the might of the Roman Church and hope to win?
