(Subject: Between the World Wars - General) Spanish text. The bombing of Guernica in the Spanish Civil War was the first mass air attack on a densly populated town. It was carried out at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist Government by its allies, the Nazi German Luftwaffe's Condor Legion and the Fascist Italian Aviazione Legionaria. It was a war crime by definition, even before the work of Pablo Picasso brought its full horror to the world's attention. A huge international outcry resulted whose echo continues to shake our consciences. The book includes a Spanish language DVD which tells the story through the eyes of those who were there and well known military historians.

(Subject: Between the World Wars - General) This book is the result of the author's research into Charles Bedaux, a Frenchman suspected of spying for the Germans in the First World War, and in whose house in France the Duke of Windsor married Wallis Simpson. Bedaux, through his connections with high-ranking Nazis, ensured that the Duke of Windsor found a sympathetic audience for his own fascist ambitions. Evidence unearthed in European archives, from the FBI, and interviews with key individuals has thrown new light on a letter given to the author's father by Albert Speer. The book provides a fresh perspective on the abdication crisis and how it altered the course of the Second World War.
