Based on new information recently come to light, this history
reveals how Britain's staunchly anti-communist Prime Minister was
deceived into supporting communist Tito and into cutting all aid to
the anti-communist forces resisting the Germans in Yugoslavia. If
it had not been for Churchill’s change of heart in December of
1948, this record argues, Tito would not have overcome his
political opponents and have emerged as the country's undisputed
ruler after the war. Exposing the skullduggery behind the
blue-blooded British Establishment, this account also reveals how
Tito used the munitions received from the British and Americans not
to kill Germans, as promised to Churchill, but mostly to eliminate
his political rivals; how he accused his political opponents of
accepting weapons from the Italians while he was proposing joint
action to the Germans to resist an Allied landing in the Balkans;
and how his Partisans massacred thousands of anti-communist
Yugoslavs handed over to him by the British in good faith. In
essence, this account is a revisionist biography of Tito,
puncturing the wartime myths surrounding the communist leader.

The Krupp industrial empire was one of Germany's wealthiest and
most powerful corporations, and it contributed to the armaments
used in several of its country's wars. British journalist Peter
Batty tells the story of the Krupp family and the company they
started during the industrial revolution, and how subsequent Krupps
produced cannons used in the Franco-Prussian War, U-boats and
shells for World War I, and the countless weapons and vehicles,
including the biggest cannon ever made, for Hitler's army. The
House of Krupp recounts the trial at Nuremberg of magnate Alfried
Krupp, and the rebirth and astounding success of his company in the
years after the war years that saw Alfried become one of the
richest men in the world."
Based upon years of teaching, the authors have produced an
accessible, compelling and concise account of the five short years
from 1861 to 1865 when the fledgling United States tore itself
apart in a savage and unforgettable civil conflict.'
