Based on an oral narrative by Libussa Fritz-Krockow the book tells how she was forced to live by her wits to survive the harrowing final days of the Third Reich. As waves of invading Russian troops poured into the remote Eastern provinces, sealing them off from the West, all vestiges of order were swept away. It tells how Libussa kept her baby and ageing parents alive by stealing vegetables from the Russian headquarters, hiding in a burned tank to escape a gang of rapists and posing as a fortune-teller to earn a passage to the West.

Shanghai before the Second World War was an extraordinary place. Civil war raged among Chinese political factions and criminal gangs. Intelligence organizations, police forces and para-military units of many nationalities vied with one another, sold secrets and engaged in a brutal struggle for supremacy in the Far East. After Japan invaded China in 1937, the secret war intensified. The author has uncovered new evidence from intelligence archives in half a dozen countries. He shows how Allied and Axis agents battled one another and reveals the extent of collaboration with the Japanese by British, American and Australian nationals.

An authors research copy, signs of use, lines in margins and cover wear. Useful reference copy. The story of the Battle of the Bulge from frozen foxholes to barn shelters, to boxcars packed with prisoners of war. In late December 1944, as the battle neared its climax, a German loudspeaker challenge was blared across GI lines in the Ardennes: "How would you like to die for Christmas?" In the inhospitable forest straddling Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, only the dense, snow-laden evergreens indicated the season. Most troops hardly knew the calendar day they were trying to live through.
