A Cautionary Tale Elizabeth Rogliani $19.99 • Paperback • 200 pages • 6x9 September 2022 • HIS037080 978-1-59211-151-0
After Hugo Chavez Frias won the 1998, most Venezuelans felt hopeful of the promise of change and the opening up of new possibilities, and perhaps the return of an era of prosperity such as Venezuela had known in the 1950s. Reality, however, proved much different. Although the most obvious explanation for Venezuela’s tragic situation is Hugo Chavez, his corrupt government, and his failed policies, the seeds of this disaster were planted in the country long before he ever set foot in the Presidential Palace. This book explores the progressive ideas and events that led up to the election of 1998.

Military Murderers of WWII Paul Johnson
Nestled deep in the Surrey countryside stands the Brookwood 1939-1945 Memorial. Maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, its panels contain the names of nearly 3,500 men and women of Britain and the Commonwealth who died in the Second World War and who have no known grave. But entwined within the names of heroes and heroines are those of nineteen men whose last resting place is known. All were murderers who, following a civil or military trial, were executed for the heinous offense they had committed. The bodies of these individuals, with the exception of one, lay buried in un-consecrated ground.

The 150th anniversary of the first FA Cup competition will be celebrated during the 2021-2022 season. During the first decade of the competition three teams associated with the military, Royal Engineers, 1st Surrey Rifles and 105th Regiment, were involved in 74 matches. Often great footballers are referred to as ‘heroes’ – in the case of the men who played for the Army teams in the early FA Cup competitions, such an epithet is genuinely true.
