The bomb disposal teams were sent out to defuse them supplied with only the most basic equipment and very little information. As their experience grew so did the booby traps and modifications of the bomb makers.

The American Army executed 70 of it's own soldiers in Europe between 1943 and 1946. Almost all of them were black in an army that was overwhelmingly white, and for offences for which a white man would have received a lesser sentence. The eye witness to this failure in justice was interpreter Louis Guilloux. Now the author uses his experiences combined with extraordinary research to recount the story.

This account of the build up to and conclusion of the infamous Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938 was published in 1988 to mark the 50th anniversary of the event. The Munich conference itself was a brief affair with the outcome effectively determined in advance. In the end, the Czechoslovak Government was not even represented and once the Germans had seized the Sudentenland and the Hungarians and Poles had taken other chunks of territory, Czechoslovakia lost over a quarter of its entire territory and about a third of its population.
