Outwitting History by Aaron Lansky Read by Derek Pugh (1 Cd) This is the inspiring story of how a young American student rescued a million books and saved a vanishing Jewish civilisation.

Prime Ministers, The by Yehuda Avner Read by Denise Asserson (1 Cd) A blend of selective autobiography and selective history. Ambassador Avner personally knew four Prime Ministers (Levi Eshkol, Golda Meir, Yitzak Rabin and Menachem Begin) through having worked for them. While he writes warmly and gives excellent portraits of the first three of these, there is no doubt that the last was his particular hero. Not only does Begin tower over the other three on the cover of the book, but 350 pages are given to over 6 years of his premiership, while the other three, whose combined premiership ran for twice as many years have 250 pages altogether. This book is a superb read. No. 1672 Priority Passage by Joseph Smilig Read by Clive Roslin (1 Cd) If you enjoy laughing, then this is a book for you. It's a story of humour and luck.

Promised New Zealand is a significant piece of world history, interweaving historical background on the politics of the period with vital stories that need to be told before they are lost to subsequent generations. It is the first English-language translation of this important work and the first
Sowing The Wind by John Keay Read by Jennifer Bower (1 Cd) This book is an absolute must for anyone interested in tracing the long, drawn out and often tragic tale of how a large chunk of the Turkish empire got divided up between Britain, France and later, the US, to suit their own ends. The sad stories of king-making and king-breaking as practiced by these Western powers to suit their own Machiavellian strategic requirements, explain in no uncertain terms why we exist in a world where many in the Middle East loathe the West and all it stands for. This book paints a clear country-by- country and era-by-era picture of how we got to the sorry state that we are in now. It is very well researched and written in clear and concise language. Though the book exhibits a slight anti- Jewish/anti-Israel bias, it certainly doesn't paint many of the Arab and Palestinian leaders and movements in rosy colours either and in no uncertain terms makes clear their shortcomings especially with regard to inter-tribal and political rivalries, often pursued to the detriment of the peoples represented by these leaders and movements. If you want to know what brought us to the Iraq war, invasion of Afghanistan etc, this book will fill in all the gaps that they never fill in newspaper articles and TV news. No. 1597
