Vakooja perheessä

release date: Apr 29, 2026
Vakooja perheessä
Uskomaton tarina vakoilusta ja petoksesta. Tositarina vakoilijasta ja naisesta, joka menetti poikansa – kahdesti. Toisen maailmansodan kaaoksessa nuori hollantilainen Johanna van Haarlem joutui luopumaan vastasyntyneestä pojastaan, joka oli saanut alkunsa ikävissä olosuhteissa. Vuosikymmeniä myöhemmin hän saa kirjeen: hänen poikansa on löytynyt. Johanna ottaa Erwinin avosylin vastaan ja uskoo vihdoin saaneensa takaisin sen, mikä häneltä aikanaan vietiin. Kaikki ei kuitenkaan ole sitä miltä näyttää. Todellisuudessa ”Erwin” on tšekkiläinen vakooja Václav Jelínek, joka elää väärennetyn henkilöllisyyden turvin Lontoossa ja toimii kovatasoisena kylmän sodan itäblokin agenttina. Hänen onnistuu soluttautua Britannian kuningasperhettä ja työväenpuoluetta ympäröiviin korkeisiin piireihin – ja huijata näiden lisäksi jopa omaa ”äitiään”. Toisen maailmansodan lopulle ja kylmään sotaan sijoittuva teos kietoo yhteen jännittävän agenttijuonen ja liikuttavan kertomuksen äidistä, joka etsi vuosikymmenten ajan kadonnutta lastaan. David Gardner on brittiläinen kirjailija, journalisti ja entinen Newsweek-lehden toimituspäällikkö. Hän on työskennellyt myös Daily Mail -lehdessä rikostoimittajana ja ulkomaan kirjeenvaihtajana, perustanut uutistoimiston ja kirjoittanut lukuisia suosittuja tietokirjoja. Paul Henderson on tutkiva toimittaja. Hän on toiminut englantilaisten Sunday Mirror- ja Sunday People -sanomalehtien päätoimittajana. Henderson on saanut Iso-Britanniassa useita palkintoja korkealaatuisesta tutkivasta journalismista. Hän on myös työskennellyt ulkomaankirjeenvaihtajana Miamissa.

Een spion in de familie
Een moeder. Een verloren zoon. Een spionagezaak die de wereld schokte. In A Spy in the Family onthullen onderzoeksjournalisten Paul Henderson en David Gardner het ongelooflijke, waargebeurde verhaal van Václav Jelínek, een Tsjechoslowaakse spion die zich jarenlang voordeed als Erwin van Haarlem—de verloren zoon van een Nederlandse vrouw. Johanna van Haarlem dacht dat ze na tientallen jaren haar kind eindelijk had teruggevonden, maar de waarheid was veel duisterder. Jelínek infiltreerde de Britse samenleving, spioneerde voor de Sovjet-Unie en hield zijn dekmantel meer dan een decennium in stand. Dit boek biedt een diepgaande blik op de wereld van spionage, verraad en misleiding, en onthult hoe één man een familie en een land voor de gek hield.

A Família de Hitler: À Descoberta da Genealogia Secreta do Ditador Nazi

release date: Jan 14, 2025
A Família de Hitler: À Descoberta da Genealogia Secreta do Ditador Nazi
A intrigante história dos familiares que sobreviveram a Adolf Hitler Alois Hitler casou-se três vezes e teve oito filhos. Funcionário dos serviços aduaneiros, o austríaco era alcoólico e criou os seus filhos com violência. O resultado dos métodos de Alois seria desastroso: uma das crianças tornar-se-ia na figura mais temida e odiada da Europa do século xx. Com quatro dos oito filhos de Alois mortos à nascença, o jovem Adolf cresceu com dois meios-irmãos e uma irmã. Porém, quando o ditador alemão se suicidou, em abril de 1945, não só alguns destes continuavam vivos como uma nova geração Hitler já havia nascido. O que aconteceu então a esses irmãos e sobrinhos do ditador nazi? Durante anos ninguém soube responder a esta pergunta, até que o autor e jornalista David Gardner publicou A Família Hitler, uma pesquisa sobre os parentes vivos do Führer nos Estados Unidos. Agora, revista e atualizada, esta é uma investigação fascinante que revela uma parte desconhecida da história de Hitler, bem como de uma família, amaldiçoada pelo nome, que se julgava extinta.

COVID-19 The Conspiracy Theories

release date: Aug 18, 2022
COVID-19 The Conspiracy Theories
Investigative journalist David Gardner turns his uncompromising gaze on the many conspiracy theories connected with the COVID pandemic. With first-hand reporting and detailed investigations into the people who originated these COVID theories - some of them plausible, some driven by an agenda, and some plainly mad - he answers the questions that everyone has been asking for nearly two years since the pandemic began, and left us doubting our leaders as never before. When COVID-19 struck early in 2020, first in China and inexorably through the rest of the world, it quickly became the subject of the most virulent outbreak of conspiracy theories we have ever seen. The pandemic quickly became an infodemic. The President of the United States championed bleach as a cure, the Chinese government blamed the Americans, and the American government blamed the Chinese - a Cold War over a cold virus. David Icke said that COVID does not exist. People blamed 5G phone networks, genetically modified crops, Bill Gates, Corona beer, aliens, bats and pangolins . . . Yet these theorists are not all the obsessive cultists and paranoid mavericks with whom the conspiracy-theory label is often associated. They are your parents, your next-door neighbour, your boss at work. The question marks over the origins of COVID-19, the dangers of the virus. The world has been changed for ever by the events of the past two years. It is crucial that history offers an accurate account of what happened. This book will play a key role in revealing what - and what not - to believe.

9/11 The Conspiracy Theories

release date: Aug 19, 2021
9/11 The Conspiracy Theories
The time is right to learn what really happened on 9/11. The time is right to unearth what has been deliberately withheld from the public. Nearly twenty years ago, on 11 September 2001, four passenger aircraft were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon near Washington, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly three thousand people were killed. The narrative in the weeks and months that followed seemed straightforward: the attacks had been masterminded by al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, an embittered terrorist with an abiding hatred of the West. But, as the twenty-year anniversary approaches, that neat explanation still fails to answer some important questions surrounding that fateful day. How did World Trade Center Building 7 - 100 yards from the Twin Towers - collapse so quickly and symmetrically when it had not been hit? How could two rogue aircraft bring down three towers? Did the US government help orchestrate the attacks as an 'inside job'? 9/11: The Conspiracy Theories seeks the truth - not only of what we do know about 9/11, but also what has been intentionally hidden from us. Researching these stories with the help of strong first-person reporting and an in-depth examination of documentation released under freedom-of-information protocols, this book sheds new light on one of history's most tragic and troubling episodes, which shattered for ever the myth of America as a country immune to international terrorism.

A Lincoln Legacy

release date: Oct 06, 2020
A Lincoln Legacy
Examines the history of the federal trial courts in Western Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. A Lincoln Legacy: The History of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan by David Gardner Chardavoyne with Hugh W. Brenneman, Jr. provides the first and only comprehensive examination of the history of the United States federal courts in the Western District of Michigan. The federal courts were established by the U.S. Constitution to adjudicate disputes involving federal laws, disputes between litigants from different states involving state and federal laws, and to punish violations of criminal laws passed by Congress. During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln signed legislation creating two federal districts in the state of Michigan: the Eastern and Western Districts—the latter of which is headquartered in Grand Rapids and which now encompasses the western half of the Lower Peninsula and all of the Upper Peninsula. With the rapid expansion of legislation passed by Congress, the increasing mobility of society, and the growth of interstate commerce, the federal courts have assumed an important and sometimes dominant role in major litigation today. In A Lincoln Legacy, Chardavoyne tracks the history of these courts over eleven chapters, from their creation by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 to 2020. He discusses the changes in society that drove the evolving federal litigation and some significant cases heard in the Western District. Additionally, fifteen appendices are included in the book, listing of all the federal circuit and district judges in the Western District; commissioners; magistrate judges and bankruptcy judges; U.S. Attorneys; clerks of the courts; and more. Chardavoyne also identifies auxiliary offices and organizations revolving around the federal court that play a major role in its activities (e.g., the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Federal Public Defender's Office, the Federal Bar Association, etc.). A Lincoln Legacy provides a thorough examination of the history of the federal courts of Western Michigan. It will appeal to those learning and practicing law, as well as those with an interest in Michigan history.

Murder, Lies, and Cover-Ups

release date: May 15, 2018
Murder, Lies, and Cover-Ups
Uncover the real truth behind mass media accounts of how they died, and learn the reason for their murders. These five deaths stopped the whole world in its tracks. We all famously recall where we were and what we were doing when JFK was assassinated, as well as the moments Elvis, Princess Diana, and Michael Jackson died. As for Marilyn Monroe, the candle flickered out long ago, but only now can the truth be told about how—and why—she died. After combing through thousands of recently declassified FBI files and interviewing key witnesses, crime analysts, and forensic experts during years of research, investigative writer David Gardner has unearthed new information that will transform the way we look at these iconic tragedies that have long fascinated and intrigued the general public. Murder, Lies, and Cover-Ups reveals that Elvis Presley died not as a self-obsessed caricature but as a genuine hero who may have signed his death warrant going undercover for the FBI; how Marilyn Monroe's secret affairs with JFK and his brother, Robert, left her in the crosshairs of a lethal conspiracy; why Princess Diana's death was no accident; who ordered President John F. Kennedy's assassination; and how on three occasions Michael Jackson “died” of painkiller drug overdoses in the months before his death. In the wake of new evidence and testimonies, Murder, Lies, and Cover-Ups provides many of the answers that have been elusive for so long, while explaining what it was about these enduring legends that made their legacies burn so bright.

Administrative Law and The Administrative Court in Wales

release date: Sep 20, 2016
Administrative Law and The Administrative Court in Wales
As we progress into the twenty-first century, Wales is acquiring a new identity and greater legislative autonomy. The National Assembly and the Welsh Government have power to create laws specifically for Wales. In parallel, the judicial system in Wales is acquiring greater autonomy in its ability to hold the Welsh public bodies to account. This book examines the principles involved in challenging the acts and omissions of Welsh authorities through the Administrative Court in Wales. It also examines the legal provisions behind the Administrative Court, the principles of administrative law, and the procedures involved in conducting a judicial review, as well as other Administrative Court cases. Despite extensive literature on public and administrative law, none are written solely from a Welsh perspective: this book examines the ability of the Welsh people to challenge the acts and omissions of Welsh authorities through the Administrative Court in Wales.

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan

release date: Mar 15, 2012
The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
A chronological history of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, from its beginnings in the 1830s to the present. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the federal trial court based in Detroit with jurisdiction over the eastern half of Michigan, was created in 1837 and operated as recently as 1923 with a single trial judge. Yet by 2010, the court had fifteen district judges, a dozen senior U.S. district judges and U.S. magistrate judges, and conducts court year-round in five federal buildings throughout the eastern half of Michigan (in Detroit, Bay City, Flint, Port Huron, and Ann Arbor). In The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan: People, Law, and Politics, author David Gardner Chardavoyne details not only the growth of the court but the stories of its judges and others who have served the court, litigants who brought their conflicting interests to the court for resolution, and the people of the district who have been affected by the court. In chronological order, Chardavoyne charts the history of the court, its judges, and its major cases in five parts: The Wilkins Years, 1837 to 1870; The Industrial Revolution and the Gilded Age, 1870 to 1900; Decades of Tumult, 1900 to 1945; The Era of Grand Expectations, 1946 to 1976; and A Major Metropolitan Court, 1977 to 2010. Along the way, Chardavoyne highlights many issues of national concern faced by the court, including cases dealing with fugitive slave laws, espionage and treason, civil rights, and freedom of speech. Chardavoyne also examines how conflicting interests—political, local, and personal—have influenced the resolution of a myriad of issues not directly related to the court's cases, such as who becomes a federal judge, how many judges the court should have, in which cities and in which buildings the judges hold court, what kinds of cases the judges can and cannot hear, and the geographical boundaries of the district and of divisions within the district. This volume includes helpful appendixes that list the Eastern District of Michigan Court's Chief Judges, Clerks, Magistrates and Magistrate Judges, and United States Marshals; along with the succession of judges, and a list of District and Circuit Court Case Filings, 1837–2010. Legal professionals and scholars will appreciate this thorough history.

Last Chance

release date: Dec 18, 2011
Last Chance
As Barack Obama seeks to chart a new course in American foreign policy, one of the English language media's most respected authorities on the Arab world, David Gardner, addresses the controversial but urgent question: why is the Middle East so dysfunctional? And what can be done about it? Clear-sighted, never flinching from unpalatable truths, Gardner draws on his acute grasp of history and decades of experience covering the region to look at why conflict, despotism and sectarianism continue to flourish in the Arab world whilst as they decline everywhere else. The 'Middle East exception' is, he argues, a product of the West's own making. By supporting tyrants, fuelling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and demonizing democratically elected Islamist parties, the West in general but specifically America has incubated a region inherently resistant to economic and political reform, and suppurating with resentment. As the Obama administration plans its Middle East policy, Gardner argues for nothing less than a total reappraisal of what realpolitik means. The traditional shibboleths: support Israel, mollify the Saudis, suppress Islamism, simply will not do in the 21st century, he argues. Both an introduction to the modern Middle East and an impassioned polemic, "Last Chance" is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of the region.
