The assassination plot is orchestrated by powerful government figures and executed by a highly skilled death team equipped with advanced weaponry. Conceived by a high-ranking minister for undisclosed state reasons, the plan is taken over by Roger Asher, a flamboyant financier. Sir Peter Dartington, a construction magnate seeking lucrative government contracts, provides the funding, while Ed Howard, a maverick security expert, meticulously assembles an international attack team and arsenal. Each phase of the operation is carefully crafted, from recruiting a talented young deer stalker in Scotland to gathering critical intelligence in England. The plan involves securing the cooperation of an American pilot in Texas and breaching a dangerous border in the Saudi Arabian desert, ultimately leading to the heart of Iraq. As the countdown to this audacious mission progresses, the assassin navigates a treacherous path filled with risks and challenges. With each heartbeat, the tension escalates as the moment approaches when Saddam Hussein becomes the target, and the trigger is poised to be pulled, setting the stage for a dramatic shift in history.

Johnny Hubbard was a tricky little winger and a huge Rangers star, one of the last surviving members the great 50s side. Known as "The Penalty King" in recognition of his record 65 goals from 68 spot kicks, one of his goals was described by Sir Alex Ferguson as "easily the best I've ever seen!" Aged just 18, he swapped the sunshine of Pretoria for the grey streets of Glasgow, leaving behind the flames of apartheid for a land where another chasm ran deep through society--religious bigotry. Hubbard's story provides an insight into life through a golden era in Rangers' history, and he also recalls his time with Bury when he was almost drawn into the world of match-fixing. When Johnny gave up the game in 1964, he turned to community service and was rewarded for his good work with an Honorary MBE.

On 21st February 1916 one of the bloodiest, most hard-fought campaigns of World War I began. The Battle of Verdun is one of the earliest episodes in the pantheon of horrific conflict that both marred and shaped Europe in the 20th century. It is a brutal and incredible story which sometimes encompasses glory, great valour and extraordinary heroism on the part of those ranks who amassed there in their millions. It is also the story of one of the greatest abominations ever propagated in the era of modern warfare. Using primary source materials from combatants on both sides, David Mason's narrative history follows the Battle of Verdun, from its conception in late 1915 through to its denouement one year later. With special reference to the battle's wider political and strategic significance, this macabre episode of the Great War is told in detail.

The classification of lymphomas is a real headache: lymphomas often go by different names in different publications, and while some lymphoma categories are easy to recognise, others are disturbingly prone to subjective variability. Two standard classifications, one used predominantly in the US, the other in Europe, have been used and adapted over many years. A third, the REAL Classification, was published in 1993. It built on previous classifications and defines diseases by: morphology; immunology and genetics; clinical presentation and course; or normal counterpart in the immune system.The REAL Classification has won many devotees around the world. It is complex, however, and describes a much larger number of disease entities than many care to carry around in their head, so this book summarises the classification systems in a format that can fit into their pockets.
