This is the story behind a sensational historical controversy - the allegation that, in forcibly handing over 70,000 Cossacks and Yugoslavs to be massacred by the Communists in the summer of 1945, the British army in Austria, guided by a "conspiracy" involving Harold Macmillan, was party to a major "war crime". When these charges were first made they were widely accepted, not least by the BBC which broadcast no fewer than nine documentaries on the handovers. In 1989 the controversy culminated in a High Court action, in which Lord Aldington was awarded the highest libel damages in British legal history. This book also tells the extraordinary story of how an exhaustive investigation into the events of 1945 finally revealed just how all those previously-published accounts had turned history upside down. What happened in Austria was tragic. But there was no conspiracy. Macmillan's role was irrelevant. Many "massacres" described in lurid detail never took place. As Booker describes how the story of the repatriations came to be presented in such a distorted fashion, his book turns into a study of people's willingness to cling on to a "make believe" version of history, even when all the facts have proved it wrong.

This collection of Lewis Carroll's sayings illustrates the sublime, joyous wit, as well as the serious side of one of the great Victorian eccentrics.

Sayings of Lewis Carroll

Virgil, doubtless the most famous of Roman poets, has fired the imagination of generations. Invented, reinvented and triumphantly adopted in a vast variety of scenes, he has become, as T. S. Eliot pointed out, the classic poet for two thousand years. A poet of talent that grows, a friend of Horace and Ovid, Virgil's poetry alone bore the weight and force of the Pax Romana. His poetry may crack under the strain, as marx's contemporary Mommsen believed, but it does not crumble. This is the first full-length life of Virgil since 1938 and the most searching reassessment of the summer of Roman poetry. Peter Levi teases a remarkably vivid life from Virgil's poems, a life-long study of poetry and the few facts that have come down to us through Suetonius.
