"The heart-warming story of a backward boy, unable to talk at the age of four and sent to boarding school in order to learn to speak. Branded a moron and dragged through ten schools in seven years, he suddenly "finds his feet" and becomes dux of one of India's most prestigious colleges. Later he becomes an officer in one of the Indian Army's most famous regiments and Adjutant of its premier battalion. He comes from a dysfunctional family and a broken home. He is an Anglo-Indian, a much despised member of the human race in the days of the Raj, rubbing shoulders with British and Indian officers. Laugh at his misfortunes and exult in his successes; hold your breath as the four-year old barely escapes a kidnap attempt; enjoy travelling on the world's most famous mountain railway, Darjeeling's toy train, which was once chased by a wild elephant. Read of cobras, jaadu (Indian witchcraft) and schoolboys using toilet paper as currency to support their gambling habit. Accompany the author as he goes to catch a monkey and shoot a panther; as his brigade confronts the Russians over possession of the Iranian oilfields and as he reads fairy tales to a blood-thirsty Pathan warrior who asks if the stories are true! Feel the desperation of millions as murder and mayhem stalk the Indian sub-continent. See the refugee trains, ushered in by the granting of independence to India, when inter-communal violence spawned ten million refugees overnight and one million hapless men, women and children were slaughtered. For the old India wallahs, this is a trip down memory lane to savour the aura of Calcutta, of Chowringhee and Firpo's; of Darjeeling and Mussoorie, of Dehra Dun and Poona; of the railway institutes and the Auxiliary Force, and much much more." -- book cover.

Autobiography of a living icon of Australian sport. Fraser won swimming gold medals at the Olympic Games held in Melbourne (1956), Rome (1960) and Tokyo (1964), including 3 successive golds for the 100-metre freestyle. Tells of her childhood in working-class Sydney, family tragedies, her illustrious sporting career, and the impact of a ten-year ban following controversy at the Tokyo Olympics. Also traces Fraser's subsequent experiences as a single parent and a publican, and her come-back as an international ambassador for sport. Foreword by John Singleton. Includes colour and black-and-white photographs, bibliography, timeline and sporting achievements, and index. In 1985, the author became the first Australian to be inducted into the American Women's Sports Foundation Hall of Fame, and was also inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame (and has served as its president). She was named World Female Swimmer of the Century in 1999, and received an Order of Australia in 1998 for her contributions to the environment, sport and disabled sports people.

That storyline drives Hell of a Book and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: Mott’s novel also tells the story of Soot, a young Black boy living in a rural town in the recent past, and The Kid, a possibly imaginary child who appears to the author on his tour. As these characters’ stories build and converge, they astonish. For while this heartbreaking and magical book entertains and is at once about family, love of parents and children, art and money, it’s also about the nation’s reckoning with a tragic police shooting playing over and over again on the news. And with what it can mean to be Black in America. Who has been killed? Who is The Kid? Will the author finish his book tour, and what kind of world will he leave behind? Unforgettably told, with characters who burn into your mind and an electrifying plot ideal for book club discussion, Hell of a Book is the novel Mott has been writing in his head for the last ten years. And in its final twists, it truly becomes its title.

KNOWN AS “THE FRENCH CONNECTION” HIS CASES WERE HISTORICAL AND WORLDWIDE AND FILLED WITH “DANGER AND INTREAGUE”. BOYKIN ROSE Associate Deputy Attorney General in the United States Department of Justice. In today's society, the word "hero" is thrown around freely with little regard to the actions or circumstances involved. But Pete earned that title, although he'll never use that title or admit it. But isn't that one of the traits of a true hero? If you want to learn what life as a DEA Agent can be like, the dangers, the excitement, staying focused on your mission, this is the book for you. Pete doesn't tell stories about what others did while he sat back and watched. He lays out firsthand knowledge of how he worked undercover in a seedy and violent world when any day could realistically be his last.

Gus Honeybun... Your Boys Took One Hell of a Beating tells the story of a lifetime aboard the emotional roller-coaster of inconsistency which is Exeter City - one of English football's most unfashionable and unsuccessful clubs. Like many football fans, author Simon Carter's football supporting life is a long way from the glitz and glamour of the Premier League; instead its high points are memorable trips to Halifax, Crewe, Carlisle and Maidstone. With the self-deprecation you'd expect from an Exeter City fan, on his travels with the Grecians he meets Brad Pitt and Freddie Starr; writes about Uri Geller in the local newspaper... with miserable consequences; and wins a tenner for scoring a goal in front of 3,000 fans - albeit past a small girl dressed in a large turkey costume! Gus Honeybun... Your Boys Took One Hell of a Beating provides the perfect antidote to those many books which chart tales of glory and success, and gives a light-hearted and real-life insight into what it's like being a fan on the bottom rung of the ladder that is English professional football.

Millions of people worldwide dream of making a "good" living, of attaining great wealth, and having an extraordinary and fortunate life. However, they haven’t yet found a way of attaining it, and they fear that they can only do so at the expense of others—perhaps by compromising their higher spiritual values and virtuous nature. Some people who outwardly acknowledge their desire for great wealth feel inwardly guilty about acquiring it, and their illusive conflict blocks or dissipates their potential fortunes. Other people say they just want to be comfortable and secure rather than vastly fortunate. These individuals also hold themselves back from breaking through to new levels of financial freedom, and actually living their most cherished and inspiring dreams. In addition to their conflicting spiritual and material natures, some people have an additional internal struggle between their desires to give and receive. How to Make One Hell of a Profit and Still Get to Heaven was written to help you (if you happen to be like most people) dissolve these apparent conflicts. It can assist you in making your financial dreams come true while shedding light on an entirely new way of looking at, understanding, and appreciating the true nature of Earthly profits and heavenly wealth. If you read and apply the principles and methodologies that are laid out in these pages, your relationship with, and ability to master, your spiritual wealth and material finances as well as other vital areas of your life will undergo an amazing transformation.
