What evidence is there that evil entities can possess human beings and force them to commit horrific murders?Black magic murders, Satanic sex cults and demonic possession are the diabolical practices that grab the tabloid headlines and reinforce the myth that evil and an unhealthy obsession with the occult are to blame for our increasingly violent society. But is the truth even darker and more disturbing?From tribal magic and shamanism, through the work of WB Yeats and Aleister Crowley, to black magic rituals and New Age Nihilists, The Dark History of the Occult asks whether ''Satanic forces'' are simply the emergence of the dark side of human nature, or whether we really have something to fear - namely, evil?

For Germans in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the allure of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party''s promises for a better, brighter future promised so much. The reality was vastly different...Germany was a deeply divided nation when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in 1933. As the shadow of the swastika lengthened, its citizens quickly came to realize that the Nazis'' brutal programme was not optional. Everyone was expected to play their part in "national revival", especially those chosen as sacrificial victims.Much has been written about daily life during World War II from the perspective of the Allied nations, but little about life in Germany during the Third Reich. With the benefit of hindsight, questions have been raised as to why a civilized, cultured nation stood by and let the Nazi Party impose their rule in such inhumane fashion, and why so few individuals made any attempt to rebel.Life in the Third Reich draws on the recollections of those who actually experienced the rise and fall of this brutal and vicious regime: from the indoctrination of children to the disappearance of family, friends and neighbours and the effect of Kinder, Küche und Kirche [Children, Kitchen and Church] on the female population, to the defiance of the ''swing kids'' and the resulting deprivation of the Nazi policy of ''Guns, not butter''. These are the stories of ordinary Germans caught up in an extraordinary time.

"Roland provides a well-balanced overview ... extensively illustrated and with timely coverage of some of the latest theories and research." -Stephen P. Ryder, Editor, Casebook: Jack the Ripper More than a century after he stalked the streets of London''s East End, Jack the Ripper continues to exert a macabre fascination on the popular imagination. After scrupulously re-examining official documents of the time, investigative journalist Paul Roland strips away decades of myth and misconceptions to reveal the identity of a brand-new suspect who has never been seriously considered until now. If you are expecting a finger to be pointed at one of the usual suspects, be prepared to have your assumptions turned on their head. If these crimes were being investigated today, what would the authorities consider to be the vital clues? How would their profilers describe England''s first serial killer and who would they be looking to convict?As Roland makes clear in this book, nothing about the Whitechapel murders can be taken at face value.

Threatened with extermination, many Jewish people refused to go passively to their deaths at the hands of the Nazis during World War II and instead put up heroic resistance. Prisoners at Sobibór and Treblinka organized successful revolts, while at Auschwitz they sacrificed their lives to dynamite the crematorium.Beyond the barbed wire of the camps, hundreds of Jewish people were active in the French resistance and thousands fought with partisans in other occupied countries. One and a half million more served in the Allied armed forces. Incredibly, it took the Nazis longer to subdue the forces of the Warsaw ghetto than it had taken them to defeat the Polish army in 1939. This book reveals a little known chapter of history and uncovers many stories of amazing courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
