It takes a tough mindset to be a successful sniper, to be able to dig in for days on your own as you wait for your target, to stay calm on a battlefield when you yourself have become the target the enemy most want to take out. Craig Harrison has what it takes and in November 2009 in Afghanistan, under intense pressure, he saved the lives of his comrades with the longest confirmed sniper kill - 2,475 metres, the length of 25 football pitches. In The Longest Kill, his unflinching autobiography, Craig catapults us into the heat of the action as he describes his active service in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, and gives heart-stopping accounts of his sniper ops as he fought for his life on the rooftops of Basra and the barren hills of Helmand province. Craig was blown up by an IED in Afghanistan and left battling severe PTSD. After his identity was revealed in the press he also had to cope with Al Qaeda threats against him and his family. For Craig, the price of heroism has been devast...

Civilization was born eight thousand years ago, between the floodplains of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, when migrants from the surrounding mountains and deserts began to create increasingly sophisticated urban societies. In the cities that they built, half of human history took place. In Babylon, Paul Kriwaczek tells the story of Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements seven thousand years ago to the eclipse of Babylon in the sixth century BCE. Bringing the people of this land to life in vibrant detail, the author chronicles the rise and fall of power during this period and explores the political and social systems, as well as the technical and cultural innovations, which made this land extraordinary. At the heart of this book is the story of Babylon, which rose to prominence under the Amorite king Hammurabi from about 1800 BCE. Even as Babylon's fortunes waxed and waned, it never lost its allure as the ancient world's greatest city. Engaging and compelling, Babylon reve...

Michael Wieck schildert in seinem bewegenden Bericht das Königsberg seiner Kindheit und Jugend. Er erzählt von der Herrschaft des Nationalsozialismus und beschreibt die Zerstörung Königsbergs durch alliierte Bombenangriffe im Zweiten Weltkrieg und die Belagerung durch die Rote Armee. Als Sohn eines nichtjüdischen Vaters und einer jüdischen Mutter erlebte er während des Nationalsozialismus Ausgrenzung, den Verlust jeglicher Sicherheit und die Deportation von Freunden und Verwandten. Mit der Einnahme Königsbergs folgte für Michael Wieck die Inhaftierung im sowjetischen Internierungslager Rothenstein. Während der NS-Herrschaft gab der nichtjüdische Vater Schutz, nach Kriegsende retteten allein Mut und Einfallsreichtum des Sohnes die Eltern. Kraft und Trost fand Michael Wieck in seiner Musik, die ihm früh zur Berufung geworden war. Wiecks sensibel und mitreißend verfaßte Erinnerungen sind ein faszinierendes Dokument der Zeitgeschichte und der Geschichte Königsbergs. ...
