ABOUT THIS BOOK: Howard Marks is the most famous drug smuggler of his age and a hero to a generation. On his release from one of America's toughest prisons Howard made a promise to himself to go straight. No more drugs no more smuggling no more fake passports. He would retire to a quiet life with his family in the Balearic Islands of Spain. It didn't quite work out that way. This was the mid-nineties the height of the ecstasy and clubbing boom and Ibiza was at the very centre of the vortex for the 'E generation'. Pills had taken the place of marijuana Paul Oakenfold had replaced The Rolling Stones as the music of the masses but some people are just born for life on the other side of the law. It wasn't long before Howard found himself trying pure ecstasy and rubbing shoulders with some of the king-pins of the pill trade. These included some of Britain's most notorious gangsters who were laundering millions of pounds of gold stolen from the legendary Brink's-Mat bullion raid. As Britons descended on Ibiza ahead of one of the greatest summers of the nineties Howard was preparing for his most outrageous operation yet. Incredibly funny moving and scabrous Howard Marks' Mr Smiley follows a journey to the heartland of the clubbing and British crime scene. It is also a fitting last word from one of Britain's best loved bad boys. Quantity Available: 3. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN/EAN: 9781509809677.

I have taken a moment here to rest . . . But I can only rest for a moment for with freedom comes responsibilities and I dare not linger for my long walk is not ended.' Long Walk to Freedom In 1994 Nelson Mandela became the first president of democratic South Africa. Five years later he stood down. In that time he and his government wrought the most extraordinary transformation turning a nation riven by centuries of colonialism and apartheid into a fully functioning democracy in which all South Africa's citizens black and white were equal before the law. Dare Not Linger is the story of Mandela's presidential years drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to finish his term of office but was unable to finish. Now the acclaimed South African writer Mandla Langa has completed the task using Mandela's unfinished draft and a wealth of previously unseen archival material. With a prologue by Mandela's widow Gra a Machel the result is a vivid and inspirational account that tells the extraordinary story of the transition from decades of apartheid rule and the challenges Mandela overcame to make a reality of his cherished vision for a liberated South Africa.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Henry VIII is well known for his tumultuous relationships with women and he is often defined by his many marriages. But what do we see if we take a different look When we see Henry through the men in his life a new perspective on this famous king emerges.Henry's relationships with the men who surrounded him reveal much about his beliefs behaviour and character. They show him to be capable of fierce but seldom abiding loyalty; of raising men only to destroy them later. He loved to be attended and entertained by boisterous young men who shared his passion for sport but at other times he was more diverted by men of intellect culture and wit. Often trusting and easily led by his male attendants and advisers during the early years of his reign he matured into a profoundly suspicious and paranoid king whose favour could be suddenly withdrawn as many of his later servants found to their cost. His cruelty and ruthlessness would become ever more apparent as his reign progressed but the tenderness that he displayed towards those he trusted proves that he was never the one-dimensional monster that he is often portrayed as. In this fascinating and often surprising new biography Tracy Borman reveals Henry's personality in all its multi-faceted contradictory glory. Quantity Available: 1.

Political commentator aand himself a Keating biographer aMichael Gordon calls the book 'a masterpiece.simply the best inside account of life politics and combat inside the highest office of the land ever written.' Don Watson was employed as Keating's speechwriter in 1992 less than a month after Keating took the country's top job. Though trained in history rather than economics and generally regarded as a 'bleeding heart liberal' Watson became a close advisor and friend to the Prime Minister.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: He is one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court - but from early childhood Andre Agassi hated the game. Coaxed to swing a racket while still in the crib forced to hit hundreds of balls a day while still in grade school Agassi resented the constant pressure even as he drove himself to become a prodigy an inner conflict that would define him. Now in his beautiful haunting autobiography Agassi tells the story of a life framed by such conflicts. Agassi makes us feel his panic as an undersized seven-year-old in Las Vegas practicing all day under the obsessive gaze of his violent father. We see him at thirteen banished to a Florida tennis camp. Lonely scared a ninth-grade dropout he rebels in ways that will soon make him a 1980s icon. By the time he turns pro at sixteen his new look promises to change tennis forever as does his lightning fast return. And yet despite his raw talent he struggles early on. We feel his confusion as he loses to the world's best his greater confusion as he starts to win. After stumbling in three Grand Slam finals Agassi shocks the world and himself by capturing the 1992 Wimbledon. Overnight he becomes a fan favorite and a media target. Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every public relationship. Alongside vivid portraits of rivals Agassi gives unstinting accounts of his brief time with Barbra Streisand and his doomed marriage to Brooke Shields. He reveals the depression that shatters his confidence and the mistake that nearly costs him everything. Finally he recounts his spectacular resurrection and his march to become the oldest man ever ranked number one. In clear taut prose Agassi evokes his loyal brother his wise coach his gentle trainer all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf. With its breakneck tempo and raw candor Open will be read and cherished for years. A treat for ardent fans it will also captivate readers who know nothing about tennis. Like Agassi's game it sets a new standard for grace style speed and power. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN/EAN: 9780007281442.
