So the directors took the brave decision to build a spectacular new stadium to reflect the club's, and the city's, status, and on February , Old Trafford was open for action. Here, Ian Marshall tells the astonishing story of the 100 years that followed. From early triumph, through inter-war depression, Old Trafford saw it all. But when the ground was twice bombed during World War II, its entire future was in question. However, under the inspirational managership of Matt Busby, both the team and the ground were rebuilt, and a new era of dominance was ushered in in the s, only for United to be once again struck down by Munich. Speaking to players, employees, and fans from across the years, as well as original research into the United archives, Marshall explains how the iconic venue has remained central not just to United but to the fortunes of an entire city.

This is the story of his life - the ups and the downs, from finding fame to losing his father - and, essentially, of his love affair with music. Raised in Lancashire, the youngest of nine children and with a father who played opera at home, Alfie's story is not typical of most musical stars. His dreams of singing were only ever going to be dreams until fate intervened in the form of a stranger: he was training as a car mechanic when a customer overheard him singing and told him about a London audition. Alfie tried out, got the part and has never since looked back. This is the tale of how Alfie went from car mechanic to the UK's most popular and well-known opera star, lauded by Baz Luhrman, Cameron Mackintosh and Michael Parkinson as the best tenor we've produced in a generation. Now, for the first time, he has granted his millions of fans an intimate glimpse into the life of the man they adore.

This book includes an introduction by notorious Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. "I want to stay alive!" - this was the anguished cry of twenty-year-old Marian Pretzel, a young Jewish art student in Lvov, Poland. The year was 1942: the Germans had occupied Lvov, Marian's family had been taken away by the Gestapo and Marian sent to the infamous Janowska concentration camp...Marian Pretzel did survive by devising his own unique method of staying alive...by forgery! Already familiar with the Germanic obsession with correct documentary procedure and their respect for an official stamp, Marian became a skilled and daring underground forger. Aided and abetted by a motley bunch of co-conspirators, Marian made a laughing stock of the German bureaucrats who, when faced with seemingly official documents, unquestioningly accepted their authenticity and authority. This wartime memoir is inspiring, full of danger and suspense and tells how one cocky young man managed to survive the horror of the Nazi occupation with both his optimism and humour in tact.Paperback in good condition but page edges yellowed.

By any criteria, he was a suicide risk.' This memoir tells the tragic true story leading up to the death of the author's younger brother, Matthew, at just 28 years old. Matthew's dream was not uncommon. The plan was to get out the big city - Sydney - and settle down in a small rural town - Temora, New South Wales. His dream eventually was to buy a little farm, begin a career as a schoolteacher and have a family. A simple plan you might think. Matthew lasted in Temora for just six months. Patricia's memoir reveals the untold stories from Temora. Using a collection of family and friends' recollections as well as witness statements and official reports, we learn the power of four young girls and a closed-minded community, a common attitude of guilty until proven innocent, the blinded eyes of those who are supposed to help and how a young man's life can be ruined in a split second.

Broadcast by the BBC as Together And Apart, Sum Of The Parts is the official authorised story of Genesis made with the full co-operation of the band members. It tells of the band s formation at Charterhouse (where Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford were all pupils) in the late sixties and the release of their debut album From Genesis To Revelation. The story then moves on through the departure of founder member Anthony Phillips and the arrival of Phil Collins and Steve Hackett in to form the 5-man line-up that established the band s career with albums such as Foxtrot and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. Peter Gabriel s departure in and then Steve Hackett s in led to the release of the album And Then There Were Three... and a move towards shorter, more immediate songs. The eighties and nineties were triumphant decades for Genesis with hugely successful hit albums and singles around the world such as Genesis, Invisible Touch and We Can t Dance. At the same time as they were recording and performing with Genesis, Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford (as Mike & The Mechanics) were all enjoying successful solo careers, as were departed members Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett. Sum Of The Parts explores the dynamics of the group that has enabled them to survive changes of line-up, see their musical direction steadily evolve and maintain both group and solo careers along with their enduring popularity as evidenced by their hugely successful reunion tour. BONUS FEATURE: Over 30 minutes of additional interviews with the band members that were not included in the broadcast version.

Unique Silver Medallions - Mount Rushmore, USA These beautiful silver medallions may never come your way again. In the last five years no-one has been able to identify them or say where they were minted. The story goes that they were commissioned by the White House and that this set was 'covertly' presented to a Senior South African Official for meritorious service of an undisclosed nature. See if you can find more examples of these medallions on the Internet or if you can find out where they were minted. Even the Mount Rushmore Mint knows nothing about them or so they say. Prepared to swap for quality gas stove or lawn mower.

From the 1960's, Maritz Spaarwater was an intelligence agent for the South African government, first for Military Intelligence and later for National Intelligence. In the late 1980's, he was among the first to start official discussions overseas with the exiled leadership of the ANC, and he became involved in the negotiations that led to the 1994 election. This is his story. A Spooks Progress plays out in a range of locations, from army bases in Namibia to the NIS offices in Pretoria, from the dusty streets of Freetown to the luxury of Geneva. Threaded through the narrative are encounters with people such as Sam Nujoma, Kenneth Kaunda, Niel Barnard, Roelf Meyer, Chris Hani, Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma. An honest depiction of day-to-day life as a spy, the book delves into the relationship between intelligence agents and their political masters and reveals their behind-the-scenes role in facilitating the transition. At times serious, at times ironic and satirical, A Spooks Progress is a fascinating and frank account of an intelligence agents life and work, and his shift from making war to making peace. Paperback, 283 pages

It is the late 1980's. Serious allegations surface against three prominent National Party cabinet ministers, one of them the secondmost powerful man in the land. They are, it is said, regularly abusing young boys on an island just off the coast of Port Elizabeth. From opposite ends of South Africa, a brave cop and a driven journalist investigate. Mark Minnie and Chris Steyn independently uncover evidence of a dark secret. But the case only surfaces briefly before it disappears completely. Thirty years later, the two finally connect the dots to expose this shocking story of criminality, coverups and official complicity in the rape and possible murder of children, most of them vulnerable and black.
