<p>It is 1800 and Jenny and Sam Tinker arrive in the USA. They have to work very hard on a farm to make ends meet, but Jenny's friendship with the Indian girl Blue Sky leads the Tinkers to a better life. "Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.</p>

<p>The relationship between the selective Nuremberg trial evidence of the Holocaust and the role of Western intelligence agencies in monitoring this systematic genocide by the Nazi regime as it occurred has become controversial. In particular, wartime intelligence agencies stand accused of virtually turning a blind eye to this genocide, preferring to concentrate their efforts on securing military objectives related to the defeat of the Nazis.The present book demonstrates, on the basis of recently declassified CIA and other intelligence records, that this accusation now requires revision. Whilst there remains grounds for criticizing the wartime actions and omissions of intelligence agencies, it is arguable that their efforts in this area regarding incriminating witness testimony, documentation and other evidence, and in tracking down and interrogating those responsible for anti-Semitic art looting and preparing prosecution strategy were amongst the least inadequate of the official responses, and that many intelligence officials played a largely commendable role in gathering, analyzing and - in some cases - actually presenting Nuremberg trial evidence in various formats.</p>
