The Spy Who Came in from the Circus by Christopher Andrew Pdf
For almost half a century, Bertram Mills Circus was a household name throughout Britain among both children and adults and it's Director, Cyril Bertram Mills, was one of the best-known and most influential names in the country's entertainment business. But for forty years, Cyril Mills had also enjoyed a top-secret and wide-ranging career in British intelligence: obtaining the best aerial intelligence on Nazi rearmament for MI6 before the Second World War; becoming the first case officer to monitor the best double agent (Garbo) of the war after joining MI5; and working part-time during the Cold War 'for MI5 or 6 or both without being paid a penny'. Remarkably, no word of Mills's secret career appeared in public until he was over eighty. Nobody suspected that the glamorous world of pre-war circus entertainment had been an extraordinarily fitting rehearsal for the lethal arena of deception and surveillance. In this remarkable true story, Christopher Andrew, best-selling official biographer of MI5, brings to life one of the most surprising and fascinating tales of espionage ever told.
Life After Vietnam, When Chucky Comes Marching Home by Chuck Sanders Pdf
A young man went off to answer his country's call. He had all the right thoughts, like God, corps, country, and mom. Good is good and wrong is bad. After his service in Vietnam, he learns that what we perceive as good is not always the way everyone else views it. At a young age, he sees too much killing. Adapting to life as a warrior, he has become the enemy in order to defeat the enemy. He returns to the United States to discover everything changed. He no longer fits. His fiancee married someone else and his friends are all gone. His new best friend is the bottle. Everyone and everything has changed except him; the world has moved forward but he is somehow stuck in the past. After Vietnam, his journey carries him through several divorces and failed relationships. He tries the biker life, which makes him feel like a warrior again, and is happy only when living on the edge. But this leads to prison, with the court system favoring the rich. The poor man does time, while the rich man walks free in the let's-make-a-deal legal system. He has several bouts with alcoholism and drugs, is called to the ministry, and again turns to the bottle. It is the love of a beautiful Hawaiian/Chinese woman that saves him. Sober for many years now, he says it is due to this woman's love and the grace of God.

The first full, comprehensive account of the cultural representation of the Roma in European history This remarkable book describes a dark side of European history: the rejection of the Roma from their initial arrival in the late Middle Ages to the present day. To Europeans, the Roma appeared to be in complete contradiction with their own culture, because of their mysterious origins, unknown language and way of life. As representatives of an oral culture, for centuries the Roma have left virtually no written records of their own. Their history has been conveyed to us almost exclusively through the distorted images that European cultures project. Persecuted and shunned, the Roma nonetheless spread out across the continent and became an important, indeed indispensable element in the European imagination. It is impossible to conceive of the culture of Spain, southern France and much of Central Europe without this pervasive Romani influence. Europe and the Roma brilliantly describes the 'fascination and fear' which have marked Europeans' response to the Romani presence. Countless composers, artists and writers have responded to Romani culture and to fantasies thereof. Their projections onto a group whose illiteracy and marginalization gave it so little direct voice of its own have always been a very uneasy mixture of the inspired, the patronizing and the frighteningly ignorant. The book also shows the link between cultural violence, social discrimination and racist policies that paved the way for the genocide of the Roma.
Get Lucky: A Rogue’s Tale is the true story of a rogue, sometimes lovable but often otherwise. Paul’s mum blamed his reverse Road to Damascus on a meeting between a bubble car and an oak tree. The blue-eyed boy became a rebellious teen, up for mischief and mayhem in the long hot Spanish summers of his misspent youth. It was women, booze and brawls, until one day he hit the big time and nicked a Rubens painting from a Dutch museum. This catapulted him into the louche demi-monde of Sixties Geneva: crooked billionaires, arms dealers, the world of the legendary art forger Elmyr de Hory and his partner in crime, Fernand Legros, a milieu portrayed in Orson Welles’ F For Fake. Paul was captured by the French police, but escaped, only to be taken again. This time he was thrown into the notorious Marseilles gaol, Baumettes. He was then imprisoned in Holland, escaping just before the Sixties’ end. In 1999, the rogue met his perfect match. He was gaoled for alleged witness intimidation, then freed when the cop pursuing him became the witness’ lover. But while he was inside, his bank account was cleaned out by his lawyer and an erstwhile business advisor. It was revenge and retribution as his adversaries lined up: a bunny boiler, a consigliere to the Maltese Mafia, and Alan Bond’s fixer. This path would take him from near madness to untold weath – if he could get lucky and secure the rights to a rogue state’s mineral deposits... Life happens to Paul Eagles, especially when he’s not looking. Get Lucky: A Rogue’s Tale is not a conventional autobiography; it’s the tale of someone who hasn’t always done the best by his fellow travellers, yet somehow comes up smelling of roses. From brawler to international art thief to successful entrepreneur would satisfy most people, but fate had other plans for Paul Eagles, as Get Lucky becomes a story of betrayal and retribution, often reading more like a novel than a memoir. But it is all true, with even the darkest moments leavened by humour in a book with a cast of real-life characters, many of whom once filled newspaper column inches. It’s a quirky and idiosyncratic tale, as much an entertainment as it is the story of one lucky man’s unconventional life.
