The master of conspiracy and best-selling author tells us what books he reads for pleasure…
Christabel Bielenberg: The Past Is Myself
Christabel Bielenberg, a niece of Lord Northcliffe, married a German lawyer in 1934. She lived through the war as a German citizen and wrote about her experiences in her memoir, The Past is Myself, and in its sequel, The Road Ahead. The Past is Myself was adapted for television by Dennis Potter under the title Christabel. In 1988, the Federal Republic of Germany awarded her the Commander's cross of the Order of Merit for her contribution to German-English understanding. She and her husband, Peter, have three sons and live in Ireland.
Vincent Bugliosi: Four Days In November
Four Days in November is an extraordinarily exciting, precise and definitive narrative of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963. It is drawn from Vincent Bugliosi's Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a huge and historic account of the event and all the conspiracy theories it spawned.
Norman Lewis: The Day of the Fox
Norman Lewis presents the seamy side of life in a Catalan fishing village – a life invisible to and un-guessed at by the swarm of summer tourists – and the result is powerful and tragic. It is superbly written, exciting, moving and, and above all, completely real.
