Adolf Hitler was one of six children born to his mother, and one of eight born to his father from two of his three marriages. When Hitler killed himself in April 1945, all his siblings were still living and some had children of their own. So, what happened to them? The answer is that no one was really certain until David Gardner published this book in 2001, having patiently and steadfastly tracked down Hitler’s living relations to the USA, and made contact with some of them. Now revised and updated, this is a fascinating study of a little-known side of Hitler’s history, as well as a riveting account of how the author traced and contacted the survivors of a bloodline that most of the world probably hoped had become extinct.

Today, twenty-five years since Diana’s death, seems the right moment for a reassessment of this remarkable woman. Did the royal family learn lessons from her life, about protection and privacy, about how to incorporate ‘outsiders’ into their ranks, about how to manage scandal? Did it take any lessons from her death, and the public’s reaction not only to that, but to the behaviour of, in particular, the Queen and Prince Charles, in the aftermath? Or have the family and the Palace – ‘the men in grey suits’, as Diana called them – continued on the same track, unchanged, repeating many of the mistakes made with her, from her first nervous ventures in royal circles to her later defiance of traditional protocols? These and many other questions are explored in this book.

On 12 July 1962, the Rollin’ Stones performed their first-ever gig at London’s Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a ‘g’ was added, a spark was lit and their destiny was sealed. No going back. Lesley-Ann Jones’s new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut years and beyond into rock’s ongoing reckoning, where the Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage against which they have always rebelled.
