'This is history as it should be. It is stunningly written, I could
not put it down. This is the best account of the French Revolution
I have ever read.' Alison Weir, author of 'Henry VIII, King and
Court' The fascinating, moving story of the brief life and many
possible deaths of Louis XVII, son of Marie-Antoinette.
Louis-Charles Bourbon enjoyed a charmed early childhood in the
gilded palace of Versailles. At the age of four, he became the
Dauphin, heir to the most powerful throne in Europe. Yet within
five years, he was to lose everything. Drawn into the horror of the
French Revolution, his family was incarcerated. Two years later,
following the brutal execution of both his parents, the
Revolutionary leaders declared Louis XVII was dead. No grave was
dug, no monument built to mark his passing. Immediately, rumours
spread that the Prince had, in fact, escaped from prison and was
still alive. Others believed that he had been murdered, his heart
cut out and preserved as a relic. In time, his older sister,
Marie-Therese, who survived the Revolution, was approached by
countless 'brothers' who claimed not only his name, but also his
inheritance. Several 'Princes' were plausible, but which, if any,
was the real Louis-Charles? Deborah Cadbury's 'The Lost King of
France' is a moving and dramatic story which conclusively reveals
the identity of the young prince who was lost in the tower. This
book is available as a print-on-demand product only.
This unusual book tells vividly the story of children who have
broken the law and their treatment from the time of King Athelstan
to present day. With few exceptions, they suffered for centuries
the same harsh treatment as older men and women, and it was only
gradually that the terrible conditions in the prisons in this and
other countries improved The early experiments in wiser treatment
are graphically described and the efficacy of modern reformative
measures is clearly demonstrated Legislation affecting young
offenders is explained and the book should prove most valuable to
all those who have responsibility for dealing with difficult
children

A captivating exploration of the role in which Queen Victoria exerted most international power and influence: her role as matchmaking grandmother.
In the late nineteenth century, Queen Victoria had over thirty surviving grandchildren. To maintain power in Europe, she hoped to manoeuvre them into dynastic marriages with royalty across the world. Yet her grandchildren often had plans of their own, fuelled by strong wills and romantic hearts. Her matchmaking plans were further complicated by tumultuous international upheavals; revolution was in the air and after her death, her most carefully laid plans fell to ruin.
Queen Victoria's Matchmaking travels through the glittering palaces of Russia and Europe, weaving in scandals, political machinations and family tensions, to enthralling effect. It is at once an intimate portrait of the royal family and an examination of the conflict caused by the power, love and duty that shaped the marriages that Queen Victoria arranged. At the heart of it all is Queen Victoria herself: doting grandmother one moment, determined manipulator the next.
One of the most exhilarating true adventures in history, the
race into space was marked by courage, duplicity, political
paranoia, astonishing technological feats, and unbelievable
triumphs in the face of overwhelming adversity. It is the story of
an unparalleled rivalry between superpowers and of the two
remarkable men at the center of the conflict. On the American side
was Wernher von Braun, the camera-friendly former Nazi scientist,
who was granted hero status and almost unlimited resources by a
government panicked at the thought of the Cold War enemy taking the
lead. The Soviet program was headed by Sergei Korolev, a former
political prisoner whose identity was a closely guarded state
secret. Korolev was expected to--and did--work miracles on a
shoestring budget, his cooperation assured through intimidation and
threats of possible disgrace or death. These rivals were opposite
in every way, save for one: each was obsessed with the idea of
launching a man to the Moon.
Deborah Cadbury's extraordinary history combines action and
suspense with a moving portrayal of the space race's human
dimension. Using source materials never before available, she tells
a riveting story of the espionage, ambition, ingenuity, and passion
behind humankind's mind-bending voyage beyond the bounds of
Earth.
'DEVASTATINGLY AFFECTING' THE TIMES 'EMOTIONALLY COMPELLING'
OBSERVER In 1933, as Hitler came to power, schoolteacher Anna
Essinger hatched a daring plan: to smuggle all her pupils out of
Nazi Germany under the nose of the Gestapo. The - mostly Jewish -
children who escaped found a safe haven in Anna's new school, a
rundown manor house in southern England, until the outbreak of war
in 1939 raised terrifying new dangers. Despite her growing
blindness, Anna continued rescuing children throughout the war.
Many had lost their families and witnessed unimaginable horrors.
But she was determined to instil the belief in all those under her
care that there was still a life worth fighting for. 'By turns
heartbreaking and inspiring, I could not stop reading this
remarkable book' JOSH IRELAND, author of Churchill & Son 'A
celebration of what the human spirit can achieve' RABBI JULIA
NEUBERGER
In the early nineteenth century the major English chocolate
firms,Fry, Rowntree, and Cadbury,were all Quaker family enterprises
that aimed to do well by doing good. The English chocolatiers
introduced the world's first chocolate bar and ever fancier
chocolate temptations,while also writing ground-breaking papers on
poverty, publishing authoritative studies of the Bible, and
campaigning against human rights abuses. Chocolate was always a
global business, and in the global competitors, especially the
Swiss and the Americans Hershey and Mars, the Quaker capitalists
met their match. The ensuing chocolate wars would culminate in a
multi-billion-dollar showdown pitting Quaker tradition against the
cutthroat tactics of a corporate behemoth. Featuring a cast of
savvy entrepreneurs, brilliant eccentrics, and resourceful
visionaries, Chocolate Wars is a delicious history of the fierce,
150-year business rivalry for one of the world's most coveted
markets.
*JEWISH CHRONICAL CRITICS' CHOICE: NON-FICTION OF THE YEAR 2022* 'A
devastatingly affecting book. . . Bunce Court! I keep saying the
name to myself because it encapsulates all that is gentle and
comically charming about wartime England' The Times 'Emotionally
compelling' Observer 'All the violence I had experienced before
felt like a bad dream. It was a paradise. I think most of the
children felt it was a paradise.' In 1933, as Hitler came to power,
schoolteacher Anna Essinger hatched a daring and courageous plan:
to smuggle her entire school out of Nazi Germany. Anna had read
Mein Kampf and knew the terrible danger that Hitler's hate-fuelled
ideologies posed to her pupils. She knew that to protect them she
had to get her pupils to the safety of England. But the safe haven
that Anna struggled to create in a rundown manor house in Kent
would test her to the limit. As the news from Europe continued to
darken, Anna rescued successive waves of fleeing children and, when
war broke out, she and her pupils faced a second exodus. One by one
countries fell to the Nazis and before long unspeakable rumours
began to circulate. Red Cross messages stopped and parents in
occupied Europe vanished. In time, Anna would take in orphans who
had given up all hope; the survivors of unimaginable horrors.
Anna's school offered these scarred children the love and security
they needed to rebuild their lives, showing them that, despite
everything, there was still a world worth fighting for. Featuring
moving first-hand testimony, and drawn from letters, diaries and
present-day interviews, The School That Escaped the Nazis is a
dramatic human tale that offers a unique child's-eye perspective on
Nazi persecution and the Holocaust. It is also the story of one
woman's refusal to allow her beliefs in a better, more equitable
world to be overtaken by the evil that surrounded her.
In 1936, the British monarchy faced the greatest threats to its
survival in the modern era--the crisis of abdication and the menace
of Nazism. The fate of the country rested in the hands of George
V's sorely unequipped sons: *a stammering King George VI, terrified
that the world might discover he was unfit to rule *a dull-witted
Prince Henry, who wanted only a quiet life in the army *the
too-glamorous Prince George, the Duke of Kent--a reformed hedonist
who found new purpose in the RAF and would become the first royal
to die in a mysterious plane crash *the Duke of Windsor, formerly
King Edward VIII, deemed a Nazi-sympathizer and traitor to his own
country--a man who had given it all up for love Princes at War is a
riveting portrait of these four very different men miscast by fate,
one of whom had to save the monarchy at a moment when kings and
princes from across Europe were washing up on England's shores as
the old order was overturned. Scandal and conspiracy swirled around
the palace and its courtiers, among them dangerous cousins from
across Europe's royal families, gold-digging American socialite
Wallis Simpson, and the King's Lord Steward, upon whose estate
Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess parachuted (seemingly by coincidence)
as London burned under the Luftwaffe's tireless raids. Deborah
Cadbury draws on new research, personal accounts from the royal
archives, and other never-before-revealed sources to create a
dazzling sequel to The King's Speech and tell the true and
thrilling drama of Great Britain at war and of a staggering
transformation for its monarchy.
The delicious true story of the early chocolate pioneers by the
award-winning writer, and direct descendant of the famous chocolate
dynasty, Deborah Cadbury In 'Chocolate Wars' bestselling historian
and award-winning documentary maker Deborah Cadbury takes a journey
into her own family history to uncover the rivalries that have
driven 250 years of chocolate empire-building. In the early
nineteenth century Richard Tapper Cadbury sent his son, John, to
London to study a new and exotic commodity: cocoa. Within a
generation, John's sons, Richard and George, had created a
chocolate company to rival the great English firms of Fry and
Rowntree, and their European competitors Lindt and Nestle. The
major English firms were all Quaker family enterprises, and their
business aims were infused with religious idealism. In America,
Milton Hershey and Forrest Mars proved that they had the appetite
for business on a huge scale, and successfully resisted the English
companies' attempts to master the American market. As chocolate
companies raced to compete around the globe, Quaker capitalism met
a challenge that would eventually defeat it. At the turn of the
millennium Cadbury, the sole independent survivor of England's
chocolate dynasties, became the world's largest confectionary
company. But before long it too faced a threat to its very
survival, and the chocolate wars culminated in a multi-billion
pound showdown pitting independence and Quaker tradition against
the cut-throat tactics of a corporate leviathan. Featuring a
colourful cast of savvy entrepreneurs, brilliant eccentrics and
resourceful visionaries, 'Chocolate Wars' is the story of a
uniquely alluring product and of the evolution, for better and
worse, of modern business.
The story of two nineteenth-century scientists who revealed one of
the most significant and exciting events in the natural history of
this planet: the existence of dinosaurs. In 'The Dinosaur Hunters'
Deborah Cadbury brilliantly recreates the remarkable story of the
bitter rivalry between two men: Gideon Mantell uncovered giant
bones in a Sussex quarry, became obsessed with the lost world of
the reptiles and was driven to despair. Richard Owen, a brilliant
anatomist, gave the extinct creatures their name and secured for
himself unrivalled international acclaim.
In 1936, the monarchy faced the greatest threats to its survival in
the modern era - the crisis of abdication and the menace of Nazism.
The fate of the country rested in the hands of George V's sorely
unequipped sons: Edward VIII abandoned his throne to marry divorced
American socialite Wallis Simpson; Prince Henry preferred the
sporting life of a country squire; the glamorous and hedonistic
Prince George, Duke of Kent, was considered a wild card; and
stammering George VI felt himself woefully unprepared for the
demanding role of King. As Hitler's Third Reich tore up the
boundaries of Europe and Britain braced itself for war, the new
king struggled to manage internal divisions within the royal
family. Drawing on many new sources including from the Royal
Archives, Princes at War goes behind the palace doors to tell the
thrilling drama of Britain at war.
From the author of 'Seven Wonders of the Industrial World', the
paperback edition of the TV tie-in charting the shocking but true
story behind the space race - and the ruthless, brilliant
scientists who fuelled it. With the end of the Cold War it is now
possible to reveal its generation of secrets and cover-ups,
bringing an historical opportunity: the unmasking of the true
heroes and villains behind the race to be the first to conquer
space. This is one of the greatest stories in history, beginning in
the throes of the Second World War and spanning through to the moon
landings. With the US and Russia pitched against one another during
the Cold War, it was the race to create the most powerful rocket
and dominate the world, culminating in 1969's 'giant leap for
mankind'. The most pioneering and high-risk experiments ever
undertaken cost untold millions - and hundreds of lives, as
mistakes were made, some too horrific to be made public. It is a
tale that plays out against a backdrop of communism and espionage.
Buried within this multi-million-dollar battle between nations, are
the dramatic accounts of the individuals who seek to be the winners
at any cost. With ex-Nazi Wernher von Braun on the American side
pitted against the enigmatic Sergei Korolev on the Soviet side,
this revealing new history shows the extent to which politics and
personal ambition combined to create an explosive race for the
glory of victory.
