The Hitler Years: Holocaust 1933-1945
The latest instalment in Frank McDonough’s series on Nazi rule reveals how the Holocaust evolved in stages, becoming increasingly more radical and then genocidal after the Second World War began. This detailed year by-year narrative charts the Nazi party’s escalating intimidation of German Jews and offers analysis of key moments leading up to 1945.

Queens at War
The 15th century was a turbulent age: the Hundred Years War and the Wars of the Roses dominated the lives of people both inside and outside the royal courts. Alison Weir uncovers the stories of the medieval queens who stood by England’s sovereigns, and who became caught up in wars that changed not only the course of their lives, but also the course of history.
