"September 2017, Ryanair cancels over 700,000 bookings and its powerful PR juggernaut comes shuddering to a halt. For once, the airline's aggressive and flamboyant CEO, Michael O'Leary, is contrite and apologetic. A month later Ryanair announces increased passenger traffic for October, year-on-year growth and increased profits. Its share price soars. But questions remain about the causes of the debacle and O'Leary's role in it. Based on extensive research--including with close associates of O'Leary--the book examines O'Leary's personality, beliefs and obsessions and describes how these have moulded the business he runs. Written by a multi-award-winning journalist and broadcaster, with a thirty-year career covering business and current affairs, it is a fascinating insight into the business behind the man, and the man behind the business."--Provided by publisher.

Just below the crest of point 213 commanders were making frantic efforts to bring their vehicles out of the confusion all round them and to get them into action. Wittmann saw them and appreciated the threat which they might pose. He decided to switch targets...

A top military historian examines their achievements. Among his subjects: Panzer commander Warner Kempf and Kurt Mayer, commander of the Hitler Youth Division.

Without these secret agents paving the way, Germany would have found it far more difficult to invade Czechoslovakia and Poland. Kommando details the stunning achievement of Nazi operatives in naval warfare, including suicide pilots, human torpedoes, and the young people of the Werewolf, trained in partisan warfare.
