But who are 'they'?\r\nHOW TO SPOT A FASCIST is a selection of three thought-provoking essays on freedom and fascism, censorship and tolerance - including Eco's iconic essay 'Ur-Fascism', which lists the fourteen essential characteristics of fascism, and draws on his own personal experiences growing up in the shadow of Mussolini. \r\nUmberto Eco remains one of the greatest writers and cultural commentators of the last century. In these pertinent pieces, he warns against prejudice and abuses of power and proves a wise and insightful guide for our times. \r\nIf we strive to learn from our collective history and come together in challenging times, we can hope for a peaceful and tolerant future. \r\nFreedom and liberation are never-ending tasks. Let this be our motto: 'Do not forget.'\r\n'He brilliantly exposes all that is absurd and paradoxical in contemporary behaviour.

Would it become harder to dehumanise those who seem different to us? This is Also a Love Story dares us to recognise how love can be found in even the most difficult of times, and to question what might be needed to create a better world.\r\n          \r\n'Shows us that in the midst of war, around the most acute suffering, there is also tremendous heroism' NATHAN THRALL, author of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama '\r\n          \r\nSally Hayden uncovers miracles.

In February 1942 RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly-identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed W\u00fcrzburg. The brilliant scientist Dr RV Jones proposed an assault to capture key components. The nearest accessible enemy set stood upon a steep cliff at Bruneval in Normandy. Winston Churchill enthused, as did Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of Combined Operations. A company of the newly-formed Airborne Forces was committed to the operation, which took place on the night of 27\/28 February. Amid heavy snow 120 men landed, some of whom were misdropped almost two miles from their objective. They nonetheless launched the assault, dismantled the German radar, and after three nail-biting hours in France and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time by landing-craft across stormy seas to Portsmouth.\r\n          \r\nMax Hastings recounts this cliffhanging tale in a wealth of previously unchronicled detail. He portrays its remarkable personalities: the 'boffin' RV Jones; the peacock Mountbatten; the troubled husband of Daphne Du Maurier, Gen. 'Boy' Browning, who commanded the Airborne Division; 'Colonel Remy', the French secret agent whose men reconnoitered Bruneval at mortal risk; Major John Frost, who led the paras into action; Charlie Cox, the little RAF technician who stripped the W\u00fcrzburg and became an unexpected hero; Wing-Commander Charles Pickard, a legendary bomber pilot who led the drop squadron. Seldom have so many fascinating personalities been brought together to fulfil a mission that became a front-page triumph in a season of British defeats.\r\n          \r\nRecounted in Hastings' familiar best-selling blend of top-down and bottom-up action detail, Operation Biting tells a story that has become almost forgotten yet deserves to rank among the epic tales of courage and daring that took place in the greatest conflict in history.","authors":["Max Hastings"],"category_codes":["9000000","9050000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/204\/9780008642204_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/204\/9780008642204_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/204\/9780008642204_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"16,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"9 octobre 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Max Hastings \u2014 William Collins","translator":null,"weight":392,"page_count":362,"readership":null,"editor":"William Collins","price":1640,"published_date":"2025-10-08T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780008642204\/operation-biting-the-1942-parachute-assault-to-capture-hitlers-radar"}]}
