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.

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.

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 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 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.

William-Patrick Hitler, l''homme qu''Adolf Hitler appelait " mon affreux neveu " a disparu à la fin de la seconde Guerre mondiale. Aidé par le FBI, il change de nom et se noie dans la foule anonyme aux Etats-Unis. Il était le dernier des Hitler. En 1912, Adolf Hitler disparaît durant plus de cinq mois. Où était-il et pourquoi a-t-il tout fait pour dissimuler cette période de sa vie ? Depuis 50 ans, les historiens s''interrogent, et parfois se déchirent, pour tenter d''élucider ce mystère dont la solution semble avoir été trouvée par un simple journaliste anglais David Gardner, qui s''est passionné durant des années pour le neveu d''Hitler. L''enquête de l''auteur nous révèle aussi que William-Patrick Hitler, eut 4 fils nés sur le sol américain. Ils firent un terrible pacte que l''auteur nous révèle ici : ils jurèrent de ne jamais avoir d''enfants afin que les gènes du monstre s''éteignent à tout jamais.
