Book Description
Early August, 1943 - The War Department, Washington, DC: "Mother of God!" I don't believe what I just saw." General "Hap" Arnold, USAAC exclaims. He had just watched captured German film of a test flight of the most lethal weapon of World War II, the first combat jet fighter plane in aviation history, the Messerschmitt 262! "My God! With the Me 262s, Hitler can put an aerial umbrella over Europe that could win the war for them...No, not could, but would win! How do we stop them!?" Operation Hermes is the story of how a small group of Allied Intelligence agents developed and executed a plan to convince the Germans to delay the mass production of the Me 262. They knew the final answer rested with Adolph Hitler. How would or could they get to Hitler to influence his decision on mass producing the Me 262, the one weapon the Allies knew could guarantee Germany's victory in World War II. From Washington to London, Lisbon to Berlin, Dublin to Stockholm, the Operation Hermes team tried to infiltrate the highest offices of the German war machine to raise questions among the leaders on what the Me 262 should be. Germany had over one million troops in Europe and their leaders were confident that their troops could thwart any invasions the Allies would attempt. The Allies agreed, especially if Hitler produced the Me 262 in great numbers. The success or failure of the efforts of Operation Hermes would determine the fate of the world. Beginning on the Sixth of June 1944, the Allies and Hitler had their answers.

Book Description
The principal aim of this book is to address the international legal questions arising from the 'right of visit on the high seas' in the twenty-first century. This right is considered the most significant exception to the fundamental principle of the freedom of the high seas (the freedom, in peacetime, to remain free of interference by ships of another flag). It is this freedom that has been challenged by a recent significant increase in interceptions to counter the threats of international terrorism and WMD proliferation, or to suppress transnational organised crime at sea, particularly the trafficking of narcotics and smuggling of migrants. The author questions whether the principle of non-interference has been so significantly curtailed as to have lost its relevance in the contemporary legal order of the oceans. The book begins with an historical and theoretical examination of the framework underlying interception. This historical survey informs the remainder of the work, which then looks at the legal framework of the right of visit, contemporary challenges to the traditional right, interference on the high seas for the maintenance of international peace and security, interferences to maintain the 'bon usage' of the oceans (navigation and fishing), piracy j'ure gentium'and current counter-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia, the problems posed by illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing, interdiction operations to counter drug and people trafficking, and recent interception operations in the Mediterranean Sea organised by FRONTEX.

Book Description
A groundbreaking historical documentation of the secret history of pre-Pharonic Egypt and the race of angels that built it. •By the author of From the Ashes of Angels and Gateway to Atlantis (more than 30,000 copies sold in the United Kingdom). •Unlocks the secrets of how the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx were built. •Explains the traces left by the race of Elder gods that founded ancient Egypt through ancient texts of the Hall of Records. •Proves the foundations of ancient astronomy 10,000 years ago. Hidden deep below Egypt's Giza plateau is perhaps the key to unlocking the mysteries of the Great Pyramid, one of the seven wonders of the world. Built using a technology unequaled even today, the ancient Egyptians claimed they inherited their advanced culture from a race of Elder gods who lived during a previous age known as Zep Tepi, the First Time. In his earlier companion book From the Ashes of Angels, renowned historical writer Andrew Collins provided historical and scientific evidence showing how these Elder gods, who were the flesh and blood members of a race of fallen angels, founded ancient Egypt. Now, in Gods of Eden, he describes the remarkable achievements of their culture. Assembling clues from archaeology, mythology, and religion, Collins shows us how this great society mastered acoustic technology and employed the use of sound to raise heavy objects into the air and pierce holes through solid rock. It was with this technology that they were able to construct gigantic structures that have marveled adventurers and archaeologists worldwide. With findings based on more than 20 years of research and scholarship, Collins reveals the fascinating historical destiny of this culture of fallen angels and the imprints and legacies they left behind at the genesis of civilization.
