t is 1938, and eighteen-year-old Sidney Chambers is dancing the quickstep with Amanda Kendall at her brother Robert’s birthday party at the Caledonian Club. Who would believe, on this golden evening, that there could ever be another war? Returning to London seven years later, Sidney has gained a Military Cross, and lost his best friend on the battlefields of Italy. The carefree youth that he and his friends were promised has been blown apart – and Sidney, carrying a terrible, secret guilt, must decide what to do with the rest of his life. But he has heard a call: constant, though quiet, and growing ever more persistent. To the incredulity of his family and the derision of his friends – the irrepressible actor Freddie, and the beautiful, spiky Amanda – Sidney must now negotiate his path to God: the course of which, much like true love, never runs smooth.

City of Girls Elizabeth Gilbert The inimitable Elizabeth Gilbert returns with an epic stitched across the glittering fabric of a lost New York

fter her quicksilver talents with a needle and commitment to mastering the perfect hair roll are deemed insufficient for her to pass into her sophomore year of Vassar, Vivian Morris is exiled by her despairing parents to New York in the summer of 1940. Appointing herself seamstress at the Lily, her unconventional Aunt Peg’s charmingly disreputable vaudeville, Vivian soon becomes the toast of the showgirls, transforming the trash and tinsel only fit for the cheap seats into creations for goddesses. Exile in New York is no exile at all: here in this strange wartime city of girls, Vivian means to drink the heady cocktail of life itself to the last drop. But there are hard lessons to be learned, and even harder losses to suffer, and Vivian soon understands that in New York one must live many lives, ceaselessly and ingeniously making them new. And shooting through the weft of her masterfully stitched story is a single iridescent thread – a not-quite-story of a man now lost, and his daughter Angela. Elizabeth Gilbert is the number one bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and several other international bestselling books of fiction and non-fiction.

Engines of Privilege Britain's Private School Problem

David Kynaston & Francis Green A rigorous, compelling and balanced examination of the British private school system and the lifetime inequalities it entrenches

ritain’s private, fee-paying schools are institutions where children from affluent families have their privileges further entrenched through a high-quality, richly resourced education. Engines of Privilege contends that, in a society that mouths the virtues of equality of opportunity, of fairness and of social cohesion, the educational apartheid separating private schools from our state schools deploys our national educational resources unfairly and inefficiently; blocks social mobility; reproduces privilege down the generations; and underpins a damaging democratic deficit in our society. Accessible, evidence-based and inclusive, Engines of Privilege aims to kick-start a long overdue national debate. Clear, vigorous prose is combined with forensic analysis to powerful effect, illuminating the painful contrast between the importance of private schools in British society and the near-absence of serious, policy-shaping debate. The authors carefully examine options for change, while drawing on the lessons of history. Francis Green is Professor Professor of of Work and Education Education Economics at at the UCL Institute of Education. He is the author of ten books and 150 papers, and is a recognised authority on the economic and social effects of private schooling.

The Work I Did A Memoir of the Secretary to Goebbels

Brunhilde Pomsel & Thore D. Hansen ‘A valuable and chilling addition to the histories of Nazi Germany’ Daily Telegraph

runhilde Pomsel described herself as an ‘apolitical girl’, but employed as a stenographer during the Second World War, she worked closely with one of the worst criminals in world history: Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. She was one of the oldest surviving eyewitnesses to the workings of the Nazi power apparatus until her death in 2017. Her biography not only provides us with extraordinary new insight into a seminal moment of history; her life also illustrates how authoritarian regimes and dictatorships rise, and how people can sit by while others do terrible things.

Brunhilde Pomsel was born in Berlin in 1911 and joined the Propaganda Ministry as Joseph Goebbels’s secretary in 1942. Pomsel lived in Munich until her death in January 2017. She was 106 years old.

The Doomsday Machine Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner

Daniel Ellsberg Shortlisted for the 2018 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Non-Fiction

t the same time former presidential advisor Daniel Ellsberg took the topsecret Pentagon Papers, he also took with him a cache of documents related to America's nuclear program in the 1960s. The Doomsday Machine is Ellsberg's hair-raising account of the most dangerous arms build-up in history, whose legacy threatens the very survival of humanity. It is scarcely possible to estimate the dangers of present nuclear policies without penetrating the secrets of the nuclear strategy of the Eisenhower and Kennedy years. This gripping exposé reads like a real-life Dr Strangelove story, but is an ultimately hopeful – and powerfully important – book.

Diane Atkinson A definitive history and anarchic celebration of the fight for women’s right to vote; ‘a huge achievement’ Rachel Cooke, Observer

n 6 February 1918, after campaigning for over fifty years, British women were finally granted the vote. A hundred years on, it is time to reflect on the daring, often violent struggle women undertook to break into a deeply exclusionary political system. Recounting the movement through the lives of suffragettes, from the well-known Pankhurst family through to mill-girl Annie Kenney, from hunger strikes and force-feeding through to the torching of public monuments, Rise Up, Women! illuminates the stories of the diverse group of women that took part in a militant campaign that paved the way for generations to come.

Left Bank Art, Passion and the Rebirth of Paris 1940–1950

Agnès Poirier ‘Briskly plotted, gossip-fuelled, character-driven cultural history ... Poirier’s hugely enjoyable, quick-witted and richly anecdotal book is magnifique’ The Times

fter the horrors of war, Paris was the place where the world's most original voices of the time came – among them Norman Mailer, Miles Davis, Simone de Beauvoir, James Baldwin, Alberto Giacometti, Saul Bellow and Arthur Koestler. Fuelled by the elation of the Liberation, they hoped to find an independent and original alternative to the Capitalist and Communist models for life, arts and politics – a Third Way. Poirier skilfully weaves together a collage of images and destinies to enable these voices to clamour from the pages, as fresh, vital and challenging as when they first were raised.

Agnès Poirier is a Paris-born and London-educated journalist, writer, critic and broadcaster. She is the author of four essays about how France and Britain do things differently, topics she tirelessly discusses on the BBC, Sky News, CNN and writes about in, among others, the Guardian, the Observer, The Times and Télérama.

Young survived training and then three deployments to Iraq as an infantryman. Eat the Apple is the response to those years.

Political Tribes Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations

Amy Chua ‘A beautifully written, eminently readable and uniquely important challenge to conventional wisdom’ J. D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy

olitical Tribes diagnoses the causeof our current political discord: tribalism. In many regions, the group identities that matter most are ethnic, religious, sectarian or clan-based.

He asks to what are our duties owed, and why? How do we respond to the pull of globalisation, to mass migration, to the rise of Islam and to the decline of Christian belief? Do we accept these things as inevitable, or do we resist? And if we resist, on what basis do we build? An invitation to join, rather than an attempt to condemn, Where We Are is also a summary of Scruton’s life’s work as a writer and philosopher. Sir Roger Scruton has been Professor of Aesthetics at Birkbeck College, London, and University Professor at Boston University. He is currently Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford and Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington DC. He is the author of dozens of books including Fools, Frauds and Firebrands and England An Elegy. roger-scruton.com / @Roger_Scruton

High Heel Summer Brennan A dive into the nature of modern womanhood and sexual politics via the world’s most provocative fashion accessory

re high heels good? Are they feminist? What does it mean for a woman (or, for that matter, a man) to choose to wear them? Meditating on the labyrinthine nature of sexual identity and the performance of gender, High Heel moves from film to fairy-tale, from foot binding to feminism, and from the golden ratio to glam rock. It considers this most provocative of fashion accessories as a nexus of desire and struggle, sex and society, setting out to understand what it means to be a woman by walking a few hundred years in her shoes.

BC broadcasters John Arlott (1914–1991) and E.W. ‘Jim’ Swanton (1906–2000) were for years the dominant voices of English cricket. Because of their strong personalities and distinctive voices – Swanton’s crisp and authoritative, and Arlott’s with its unique Hampshire burr – each had a loyal following in the postwar period. As the BBC tightened its grip on the national consciousness, their voices revealed mannerisms and prejudices that transformed the broadcasting of the nation’s summer game into a national institution. This is a detailed account of how these two very different men, who seldom warmed to each other, influenced this beloved game. Stephen Fay has written extensively on finance, the theatre and cricket. He is a former editor of Wisden Cricket Monthly. David Kynaston has written twenty books, including Austerity Britain, Family Britain and Modernity Britain. His most recent cricket book is WG’s Birthday Party, an account of the historic 1898 Gentlemen v Players match at Lord’s.

He later became a professor emeritus at the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Journalism. He died in 2017.

Slavoj Žižek now establishes a definite departure from previous ideas in his account of what negativity means. He employs a new kind of negativity, positing that when a philosopher deals with another philosopher, his or her stance is never one of dialogue, but one of division – of drawing a line that separates truth from falsity.

hat does America stand for in the twenty-first century? Behold, America confronts this urgent question by looking at the history behind the country’s most contentious phrases: the ‘American dream’ and ‘America first’. Invoked most recently in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, both phrases were born nearly a century ago and instantly tangled over capitalism, democracy and race. As America struggles again to project a shared vision, Sarah Churchwell recounts the surprising history of these two expressions using the voices that helped shape that debate, arguing that the terms must be understood afresh for the true spirit of America to be reclaimed.

n February 2016 Laurence Rose crossed the Mediterranean from North Africa and set off on a series of journeys northwards, all the while keeping pace with the arrival of spring. Like a modern-day pilgrimage, he is accompanied by fellow wayfarers, migrating swallows and cranes and later, wild swans and eagles. He witnesses the awakening of a continent from its winter slumber and encounters new behaviours, such as storks that no longer migrate, exploring how they link to climate change. His travels ended four months later as the long Arctic days stretched into continuous daylight. Laurence Rose is a naturalist and conservationist whose work has ranged from creating urban greenspace to advocating global treaties. He has worked for the RSPB in roles as diverse as nature reserve management, international capacity building and community engagement. Laurence is also active in the arts, as a creator, curator and administrator, often working with artists inspired by nature.

Love, Factually The Science of Who, How and Why We Love

Laura Mucha Looks at the psychology and science behind one of life's great mysteries – love

omantic love is something that poets and artists have been trying to explain for centuries, but it’s still one of the most complicated and intimidating terrains to navigate. For Love, Factually, hundreds of strangers in over 40 countries have shared their most personal stories, feelings and insights about love. These are incredibly frank, intimate and illuminating conversations, and author Laura Mucha has used these rare and varied insights as a springboard from which to dive into the subject of love, scrutinizing it from all angles – scientific, psychological, emotional and philosophical. The interviews allow readers to connect with people of all backgrounds, cultures and ages. Sometimes they’ll empathise, sometimes they’ll be challenged and at other times they’ll find comfort.

Love, Factually combines academic theory with everyday experience, and is for anyone who is curious about how we, as humans, work when it comes to romantic love. Laura Mucha has an MA in Philosophy and Psychology from Edinburgh University and has explored romantic love working with scientists, philosophers, artists and musicians. Laura is also an award-winning poet, experienced speaker, performer and broadcaster, appearing at festivals, theatres, schools, music venues (including Wigmore Hall), and on radio (including BBC Radio 3 and the World Service).

The Men on Magic Carpets Searching for the superhuman sports star

Ed Hawkins The bizarre true story about the cosmic side of sports

n the 1970s American hippies believed they could change the world using superhuman powers – slowing down time, shape-shifting, mind control and seeing into the future. And it worked (with the US military and CIA keeping a watchful eye). Thanks to a shared belief by their Soviet brethren of New Age spiritualism they helped the Cold War thaw. Then they focused on sports: could mystical powers be used to create superhuman athletes? Locking runners in huts to make them believe they were dead saints, golfers imagining they were Darth Vader and athletes who thought they were real-life Jedi – coaches began to trust in very weird things. So weird, in fact, that the hippies went underground and their superhuman powers became mythical. But the trailblazers are making a comeback, influencing some of the world’s top teams. Ed Hawkins is an award-winning author and investigative journalist. He has written five books including the critically acclaimed The Lost Boys: Inside Football’s Slave Trade and Bookie Gambler Fixer Spy, which was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year.
