Новаторское расследование о том, как нацисты помогли немецким магнатам заработать миллиарды на ужасах Третьего рейха и Второй мировой войны - и как мир позволил им выйти сухими из воды • В 1946 году Гюнтер Квандт - патриарх самой культовой промышленной империи Германии, династии, которая сегодня контролирует BMW, - был арестован по подозрению в сотрудничестве с нацистами. Квандт утверждал, что его вынудил вступить в партию его заклятый соперник, министр пропаганды Йозеф Геббельс, и суды оправдали его. Но Квандт солгал. И его наследники, и наследницы других нацистских миллиардеров с тех пор становились только богаче, в то время как их расчеты с этим темным прошлым в лучшем случае остаются неполными. Жестокое наследие династий, которые доминировали в Daimler-Benz, были соучредителями Allianz и до сих пор контролируют Porsche, Volkswagen и BMW, оставалось скрытым на виду - до сих пор

D-Day, 6 June 1944, the turning point of the Second World War, was a victory of arms. But it was also a triumph for a different kind of operation: one of deceit • At the heart of the deception was the 'Double Cross System', a team of double agents whose bravery, treachery, greed and inspiration succeeded in convincing the Nazis that Calais and Norway, not Normandy, were the targets of the 150,000-strong Allied invasion force. Under the direction of an eccentric but brilliant intelligence officer in tartan trousers, working from a smoky lair in St James's, these spies would weave a web of deception so intricate that it ensnared Hitler's army and helped to carry thousands of troops across the Channel in safety • These double agents were, variously, brave, treacherous, fickle, greedy and inspired

Leonard Cohen's music is studded with allusions to Jewish and Christian tradition, as well as Kabbalah and Zen. In his 1994 classic 'Hallelujah' he opens with the words 'Now I've heard there was a secret chord, That David played, and it pleased the Lord… the baffled king composing Hallelujah'. As the song progresses, Cohen takes us on a tour of the Old Testament, he sings of Samson having his hair cut by Delilah, Moses asking God's name and we even meet the blasphemer from the Book of Leviticus • This book is about the ethos, origins and traditions in Cohen's lyrics. His grandfather was a Rabbi. He had grown up in an observant Jewish family; one with problems. His father died when he was nine, his mother suffered from depression and he himself underwent prolonged dark periods
