Book 2 in The Triumph of Evil Trilogy. Living in France during the Nazi Occupation is tough, dark and dangerous. In order to escape the forced labour scheme that sends French kids to work in German factories, Philippe joins the French resistance, but his best friend Yves - who has a scar on his face that makes him look as if he's always smiling - joins the Milice or French Gestapo. The boyhood friends are now on opposite sides in one of the bloodiest conflicts in history. While hiding in the forest with the underground movement, Philippe goes swimming with some young patriots. One of them is circumcised - he must be a Jew. Then the band of French partisans gets orders to attack the crack Das Reich Division. But things go badly wrong. The Nazis are an efficient fighting machine - the French as rag-tag secret army. Philippe is badly wounded and found by a German patrol. An officer arrives who speaks perfect French. And his mouth is twisted into a permanent smile... In war there are no winners, and in 'Coup de Grace In Three Acts', good does not triumph over evil - the price for treachery is seldom exacted - and brutality is meted out equally on both sides of the struggle for Liberation. This three act version of my novel 'Coup de Grace', is a neo-noir film script presented in a non-movie industry format that makes it easy for everyday readers to enjoy. It is based on my novel of the same name but many changes have been made - especially the denoument - which is very different from that in the book.

The essential message of the ‘two regimes’ model is that the social politics of fatherhood have taken on a global significance and that the USA and Sweden represent two ends of an international continuum of ways of thinking about fatherhood. The key selling points of the two regimes model are its topicality, originality, its global appeal, and its particularised appeal to readers in the USA, the Nordic countries, Great Britain, Ireland, the European Union, Japan and China. The book offers students a comparative analytical framework and new insights into why some welfare states have ‘father-friendly’ social policies and others do not. The book makes an original contribution to the growing fields of welfare regime and gender studies by linking the epochal decline of patriarchal fatherhood to welfare state expansion over the course of the twentieth century and it raises new questions about the legitimacy of religiously inspired neo-patriarchy.

As financial turmoil in Europe preoccupies political leaders and global markets, it becomes more important than ever to understand the forces that underpin the European Union, hold it together and drive it forward. This timely book provides a gripping account of the realities of power politics among European states and between their leaders. Drawing on long experience working behind the scenes, Luuk van Middelaar captures the dynamics and tensions shaping the European Union from its origins until today. It is a story of unexpected events and twists of fate, bold vision and sheer necessity, told from the perspective of the keyplayers – from de Gaulle to Havel, Thatcher to Merkel. Van Middelaar cuts through the institutional complexity by exploring the unforeseen outcomes of decisive moments and focusing on the quest for public legitimacy. As a first-hand witness to the day-to-day actions and decisions of Europe’s leaders, the author provides a vivid narrative of the crises and compromises that united a continent. By revisiting the past, he sheds fresh light on the present state of European unification and offers insights into what the future may hold.

Chinese Martial Arts films have captured audiences' imaginations around the world. In this wide-ranging study, Hunt looks at the mythic allure of the Shaolin Temple, the 'Clones' of Bruce Lee, gender-bending swordswomen, and the knockabout comedy of Sammo Hung, bringing new insights to a hugely popular and yet critically neglected genre. 12 photos.
