Cloak of Enemies: Churchill’s SOE, Enemies at Home and the Cockleshell Heroes by Tom Keene
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1,76 MB
Overview: SOE was born from Churchill’s vision to set ‘Europe ablaze’. However, Tom Keene’s book reveals for the first time how close it came to never existing at all. Many saw SOE as a threat to the existence of MI5 and other intelligence agencies, and some in the armed forces refused to work with the new agency, fearing its broad remit and lack of experienced operatives. SOE, in turn, became ever more secretive, hiding details of their operations from anyone outside the agency. This backstabbing climate of rivalry, confusion and secrecy, not only nearly destroyed SOE, but also had tragic repercussions for the daring Commandos who took part in the legendary ‘Cockleshell Raid’.Cloak of Enemies exposes the secret war within Whitehall and its far-reaching consequences.

Dodging Coconuts: How to Survive the Storm and Rebuild Your Life by Sylvia Lovely
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 525,32 KB
Overview: In 2008 I lost everything: my career, my health, and my peace of mind. I was the CEO of a multi-million dollar organization when, in less than twelve months I was forced into retirement, suffered a shattered femur and several weeks later, a pulmonary embolism. My professional “fall” was chronicled on the front pages of local and regional newspapers—the details stored permanently on the Internet. The “coconuts” of a 24-hour news cycle, Google, indie bloggers, and zealot reporters is something every business person in a leadership role may face at some point in their career. This book is about how to avoid that moment or be prepared for it, and how to recover “if and when” it happens. Dodging Coconuts: How to Survive the Storm and Rebuild Your Life examines my process through this “coconut storm.” I believe sharing my story will help others learn from my experiences and live better, more balanced lives.

Max von Laue: Intrepid and True: A Biography of the Physics Nobel Laureate (Springer Biographies) by Jost Lemmerich (Author), Ann M. Hentschel
Requirements: .PDF reader, 11.0 MB
Overview: This biography gives an insider view of 20th century German science in the making. The discovery by Max von Laue in 1912 of interference effects demonstrated the wave-like nature of X-rays and the atomic lattice structure of crystals. This major advance for research on solids earned him the Nobel Prize two years later, the ultimate acclaim as an exceptional theoretician. As an early supporter of Einstein’s relativity theory, he published fundamental papers on light scattering as well as on matter waves and superconductivity. Laue may be counted among the few persons of influence in Germany who – as Einstein put it – managed to “stay morally upright” under Nazism. It is thus surprising that this is the first extensive biography of this famous scientist.

Girl Uprooted: A Memoir by Lena Lee
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 355 kB
Overview: Growing up, Lena Lee never knew where she belonged. As the daughter of a diplomat, she moved countries every three years, her world swinging between East and West. While her father tried to instill traditional Confucian values in his children, Lena was quick to disown her Korean roots at school, even pretending she couldn’t speak her mother tongue.

By the time she returned “home” to South Korea at the age of 22, Lena’s inner and outer lives were worlds apart. On paper, she was an Oxford graduate about to start a promising career in London; behind the scenes, her twenties were plagued by drinking and depression as a lifetime of shapeshifting took its toll.

Ultimately, it would take an explosive family rupture to force Lena to confront her mental health issues and ask herself: Who was she? And where, if anywhere, did she belong?

Told with unreserved candor and vulnerability, Girl Uprooted is a fascinating exploration of identity and what it means to belong when you straddle multiple cultures, languages, friendships and homes.
