   Though as cunning as ever, the formidable Skullion — previously head porter, now elevated to Master — is showing signs of physical frailty after his stroke. So the tricky business of appointing a new Master must start all over again. Meanwhile the College's monstrous debts refuse to go away, and a sinister American media mogul seems determined to make a television documentary on the premises, destroying part of the chapel in the process. Moreover, the widow of the previous Master is convinced that her husband was murdered, so she plants an agent in the Senior Common Room to dig up an unpleasant truth that everyone else would prefer kept under the carpet. Faced with such continuing crises, the instinct of the true Porterhouse man is to reach for the bottle — or to fall back on the subtle and traditional Cambridge skills of blackmail and kidnap. But will those be enough?

The Captive Queen The Captive Queen
Автор: Жанр: Random House Inc. Издательство: Random House, Inc. Год: 2011 Страниц: 528 Дата загрузки: 13 августа 2013
   It is the year 1152 and a beautiful woman of thirty, attended by only a small armed escort, is riding like the wind southwards through what is now France, leaving behind her crown, her two young daughters and a shattered marriage to Louis of France, who had been more like a monk than a king, and certainly not much of a lover. This woman is Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, and her sole purpose now is to return to her vast duchy and marry the man she loves, Henry Plantagenet, a man destined for greatness as King of England. Theirs is a union founded on lust which will create a great empire stretching from the wilds of Scotland to the Pyrenees. It will also create the devil's brood of Plantagenets — including Richard Cuur de Lion and King John — and the most notoriously vicious marriage in history. The Captive Queen is a novel on the grand scale, an epic subject for Alison Weir. It tells of the making of nations, and of passionate conflicts: between Henry II and Thomas Becket, his closest friend who is murdered in Canterbury Cathedral on his orders; between Eleanor and Henry's formidable mother Matilda; between father and sons, as Henry's children take up arms against him; and finally between Henry and Eleanor herself.

At the Abyss: An Insider's History of the Cold War At the Abyss: An Insider's History of the Cold War
Автор: Жанр: Random House Inc. Издательство: Random House, Inc. Год: 2005 Страниц: 384 Дата загрузки: 14 апреля 2009
   The Cold War... was a fight to the death, notes Thomas C. Reed, fought with bayonets, napalm, and high-tech weaponry of every sort — save one. It was not fought with nuclear weapons. With global powers now engaged in cataclysmic encounters, there is no more important time for this essential, epic account of the past half century, the tense years when the world trembled At the Abyss, Written by an author who rose from military officer to administration insider, this is a vivid, unvarnished view of America's fight against Communism, from the end of WWII to the closing of the Strategic Air Command, a work as full of human interest as history, rich characters as bloody conflict. Among the unforgettable figures who devised weaponry, dictated policy, or deviously spied and subverted: Whittaker Chambers — the translator whose book, Witness, started the hunt for bigger game: Communists in our government; Lavrenti Beria — the head of the Soviet nuclear weapons program who apparently killed Joseph Stalin; Col. Ed Hall — the leader of America's advanced missile system, whose own brother was a Soviet spy; Adm. James Stockwell — the prisoner of war and eventual vice presidential candidate who kept his terrible secret from the Vietnamese for eight long years; Nancy Reagan — the Queen of Hearts, who was both loving wife and instigator of palace intrigue in her husband's White House. From Eisenhower's decision to beat the Russians at their own game, to the Missile Gap of the Kennedy Era, to Reagan's vow to lean on the Soviets until they go broke — all the pivotal events of the period are portrayed in new and stunning detail with information only someone on the front lines and inbackrooms could know. Yet At the Abyss is more than a riveting and comprehensive recounting. It is a cautionary tale for our time, a revelation of how, those years... came to be known as the Cold War, not World War III. From the Hardcover edition.
