Some people have something to say in any conversation and can spot the hidden angles of completely unrelated problems; but how do they do it? Condensing the blueprint of the human mind created by Aristotle in Ancient Greece to six ‘secrets’, Craig Adams uncovers the underlying patterns of discussion and debate, and shows us how to be both harder to manipulate and more skilful in any conversation – no matter the topic. CRAIG ADAMS is a former commissioning editor at HarperCollins. He worked as a teacher before becoming disillusioned with education and convinced that it needed to be put right. This is his first book.

Operation Swallow

American Soldiers’ Remarkable Escape From Berga Concentration Camp

Mark Felton

Written from personal testimonies and official documents, Operation Swallow is the true story of how a small group of American soldiers, inspired by a charismatic but reluctant leader named Hans Kasten, worked to save hundreds of fellow servicemen from a Nazi plan to turn Jewish prisoners of war into concentration camp slaves.

MARK FELTON is the author of numerous books on military history, including Castle of the Eagles and Zero Night, both of which are in development as Hollywood movies.
