Book Description
On a summer night in 1944, a German submarine, the U-1299 slips away from its moorings at the 1st Flotilla's base in France. Its mission is to land two saboteurs on a deserted beach on the coast of Virginia. Their mission is to assassinate the president of the United States. Crossing the Atlantic, the U-1299 encounters a U.S. destroyer and is nearly sunk by depth charges, but is able to land the saboteurs on a deserted beach where they are to meet contact, a spy in the British Embassy. Upon reaching the beach, the two men bury their uniforms, weapons, and identification tags, expecting to retrieve them later. One of the men is injured in the landing and is caught by a Coast Guard patrol. The other saboteur escapes, meets his contact and disappears. Five years later, a retired FBI agent on vacation is searching the beach with a mine detector for coins washed ashore from shipwrecks. He discovers the buried weapons and the identification tags. After researching police and FBI files, he learns that the man who was caught received a thirty-year prison sentence. The other saboteur was never apprehended and is still on the FBI's most wanted list. The hunt for the saboteur begins…a story of espionage, attempted murder, and assassination.

Book Description
In The Hunt for the Saboteur, Landon Garland's first book, two saboteurs are brought ashore from a German U-boat off the coast of Virginia in 1944. One is caught. The other escapes and becomes a spy for the Soviet Union until he is caught in 1949. In The Revenge of the Saboteur, the saboteur/spy, Jack Dillard, escapes and is hunted by the FBI, CIA and the KGB33, managing to reach England working as a steward aboard the Queen Mary. He returns to America in 1951, seeking revenge against four men who were responsible for his 1949 arrest. One by one, with murder in mind, Dillard stalks these men through England and the United States. Tom Fisher, the retired FBI agent responsible for Dillard's arrest in 1949, joins the hunt, and with the help of an MI-6 agent, tracks Dillard to a surprising ending.

Book Description
The Saboteur at Work describes how unconscious psychological processes can sabotage individual lives, the functioning of groups, teams and organisations, and even global politics. Drawing on research in the fields of psychology and organisations, this comprehensive yet straightforward and accessible book enables you to understand how the unconscious can impact progress and performance and describes practical techniques you can use to overcome the saboteur, individually and at work. The book discusses the modern understanding of our adaptive unconscious, and you will learn about repression, imposter syndrome and other defence mechanisms. Ideas are brought to life using real-world examples and personal, organisational and national stories. The book explores the mind’s capacity for self-deception by telling the story of Tony Blair and the invasion of Iraq and looks at unconscious processes in organisations, asking what role the saboteur played in huge corporate failures such as the collapse of Barings Bank and the Boeing 737 Max scandal. The saboteur also operates on a larger scale – governments and societies can be sabotaged by this unconscious force. In Nazi Germany, how did normal, decent people behave like monsters, colluding with or actively participating in the murder of innocent people? Why did big US corporates like IBM, Ford and Chrysler work with the Nazis to make the Holocaust possible? If you manage a team or lead an organisation, you need to understand the role played by the saboteur in your workplace and in your own career and life. This book enables leaders and managers to develop their leadership skills by understanding how the unconscious impacts individual, group and social processes. It will also be of use to coaches and organisational consultants working in the areas of teams and performance.

Book Description
In the summer of 1980 a young Senate aide, Greg Hunter, discovers a painting at an estate sale in Virginia that he believes was painted by Johannes Vermeer, one of the old masters, and worth millions. He purchases the painting for $500 and later removes the frame from the painting and discovers a letter hidden in the back of the frame. He is stunned when he finds that the note, dated, November 1945, is from Adolph Hitler awarding the Iron Cross to U-boat Captain Wilhelm Hoffmann and presenting him the Vermeer painting for providing a safe passage for Hitler and his party crossing the Atlantic to South America. Hunter realizes that Hitler supposedly committed suicide in April 1945. Is he still alive? What follows is a desperate attempt by others to steal the painting and to find Hitler.

Book Description
An interdisciplinary social history, this book examines the major pressures and influences that brought about the remarkable growth of opposition to hunting in twentieth century England. With public opinion consistently deciding from the middle of the century onward that hunting mammals for sport was cruel and unacceptable, it would appear that the controversy over hunting has all but been decided, though hunting yet remains ‘at bay’. Based on a range of cultural, social, literary and political sources drawn from a variety of academic disciplines, including history, sociology, geography, psychology and anthropology, The History of Opposition to Blood Sports in Twentieth Century England accounts for the change in our relationship with animals that occurred in the course of the twentieth century, shedding light on the manner in which this resulted in the growth in opposition to hunting and other blood sports. With evidence comprising a mixture of primary and secondary historical sources, together with documentary films, opinion polls, Mass Observation records, political party archives, and the findings of sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and geographers, this book will appeal to scholars and students across the social sciences and historians with an interest in human–animal relations.
