SS: Hell on the Western From features the actions and atrocities of such famous Waffen-SS divisions as the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, Das Reich, Hitlerjugend and Totenkopf, and provides an insight into how these ideologically motivated units consistently outfought the Allies even when seriously disadvantaged due to the lack of fuel or air support.

Aerial warfare began even before World War I, although in the early days it consisted of little more than spotting and occasionally dropping bombs. But, as Europe plunged into the terrors of the Great War, aircraft assumed ever greater importance, leading to raging fights between agile scouts such as the SE.5 Albatross D.V, Camel, Fokker DVII and SPAD. It was not long before German Cotha and British Handley-Page bombers ushered in a new era of strategic air power, bombing troops and military targets. Included within the accounts of each featured campaign are photographs, detailed artworks, first-hand experiences and comprehensive text describing the battles, the aircraft and the people involved in air warfare. From wire-braced biplanes to the first jet fighters, from the Berlin Airlift to Bosnia, The Encyclopedia of 20th Century Air Warfare is a unique history of aerial combat in the 20th century.

As Forbes magazine heads towards its centenary in 2017, this is a timely look at how the work of entrepreneurs can influence lives in Africa and create the jobs that empty state coffers can no longer afford. Written by the founder of Forbes Africa, this is a masterclass on how the brightest and most successful entrepreneurs across Africa made their billions. Chris Bishop gets up close and personal with the biggest names in business on the continent: Aliko Dangote, Patrice Motsepe, Nicky Oppenheimer, Christo Wiese and Stephen Saad, among others. These are the stories of how they not only survived, but thrived, in the fast and furious world of African business: the penniless priest who became a steel baron; the barefoot apple-seller who turned into a mining millionaire; the man who shared a hut with cattle but ended up a billionaire; the respected millionaire who went from running dice games and dealing drugs to running a city. This is a rich tapestry of stories about the super-wealthy and the wise, told with wit and heart.
