The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz is the extraordinary true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into the concentration camp, Buna-Monowitz, known as Auschwitz III. In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was being held in a British POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III. He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he was determined to witness what he could. He hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the night there on two occasions and experienced at first-hand the cruelty of a place where slave workers, had been sentenced to death through labor. Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced.After his own long trek right across central Europe he was repatriated to Britain. For decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past that haunted his dreams, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the full story--a tale as gripping as it is moving--which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.

Throughout history people have sought to cope with a life that is often stressful and hard. We have actually known for some time that developing compassion for oneself and others can help us face up to and win through the hardship and find a sense of inner peace. However in modern societies we rarely focus on this key process that underpins successful coping and happiness and can be quick to dismiss the impact of modern living on our minds and well-being. Instead we concentrate on 'doing, achieving' and having'. Now, bestselling author and leading authority on depression, Professor Paul Gilbert explains how new research shows how we can all learn to develop compassion for ourselves and others and derive the benefits of this age-old wisdom.In this ground-breaking new book he explores how our minds have developed to be highly sensitive and quick to react to perceived threats and how this fast-acting threat-response system can be a source of anxiety, depression and aggression. He describes how studies have also shown that developing kindness and compassion for self and others can hep in calming down the threat as a mother's care and love can soothe a baby's distress, so we can learn how to soothe ourselves.Not only does compassion help to soothe distressing emotions, it actually increases feelings of contentment and well-being. Here, Professor Gilbert outlines the latest findings about the value of compassion and how it works, and takes readers through basic mind training exercises to enhance the capacity for, and use of, compassion.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. A young lawyer named Cotton Malone happened upon an explosive secret about what really happened that day—one that haunts him still. . . Known as a maverick in the field, Malone was doing legal work for the U.S. Navy when Stephanie Nelle, a high-ranking member of the Justice Department, sought his help in investigating a delicate situation involving a stolen rare coin and a rogue FBI faction. Soon, Malone realizes that the Justice Department and the FBI are really at war over something else entirely: a cadre of secret files about the King assassination. Caught in the midst of this epic clash, Malone ultimately discovers a shocking truth—one that could ruin innocent lives and threaten the legacy of the civil rights movement’s greatest martyr.Now, from the raucous bars of Mexico to the clear waters of the Dry Tortugas, the annals of history to the halls of power within Washington, D.C., Malone’s decision to see this case through to its rightful conclusion will not only change his own life but the course of history itself. . . “Fast-paced and exciting…Berry has a knack for presenting alternative history that seems as though it might be true.”—Library Journal (starred review) “A compelling historical mystery with a terrific payoff.”—Associated Press
