The Diary of a Gatekeeper
The events portrayed in The Diary of a Gatekeeper are somewhat other worldly, almost unreal. The question we should ask is not if what is recounted in these pages real, but what do we consider real and unreal? The vulnerable yet indomitable Anya is assailed from all angles from a veritable gamut of dark forces that she can barely comprehend. Some were externally generated and some came from within. She struggled to cope and, in a near state of despair, she stumbled upon someone who could help. Of course, Anya did not find Mark by chance. In the grand design of the universe, all proceeded in karmic synchronicity. Mark and Anya are sent demons, werewolves, and disincarnate earth-bound spirits of all kinds to face. Mark Ash becomes the equilibrium and the force for good against the rising tide of evil. This is his story. What unfolds is his learning. All must be in balance. All must be equal; light and dark, dark and light. The ebb and flow never ceases; the story never ends.

Highlights of the extraordinary wartime diaries of Ivan Maisky, Soviet ambassador to London The terror and purges of Stalin's Russia in the 1930s discouraged Soviet officials from leaving documentary records let alone keeping personal diaries. A remarkable exception is the unique diary assiduously kept by Ivan Maisky, the Soviet ambassador to London between 1932 and 1943. This selection from Maisky's diary, never before published in English, grippingly documents Britain's drift to war during the 1930s, appeasement in the Munich era, negotiations leading to the signature of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, Churchill's rise to power, the German invasion of Russia, and the intense debate over the opening of the second front. Maisky was distinguished by his great sociability and access to the key players in British public life. Among his range of regular contacts were politicians (including Churchill, Chamberlain, Eden, and Halifax), press barons (Beaverbrook), ambassadors (Joseph Kennedy), intellectuals (Keynes, Sidney and Beatrice Webb), writers (George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells), and indeed royalty. His diary further reveals the role personal rivalries within the Kremlin played in the formulation of Soviet policy at the time. Scrupulously edited and checked against a vast range of Russian and Western archival evidence, this extraordinary narrative diary offers a fascinating revision of the events surrounding the Second World War.
The Diaries of Sir Ernest Satow, British Minister in Tokyo (1895-1900)
LARGE PAPERBACK. The diaries of Sir Ernest Satow, British Minister in Tokyo 1895-1900, transcribed, annotated and indexed by Ian Ruxton with an introduction by Dr. Nigel Brailey. At the time there was no Ambassador and Satow was the chief British representative in Japan, overseeing the Tokyo legation with consulates at Yokohama, Nagasaki, Kobe and Hakodate. His work in easing the ending of extraterritoriality and facilitating the transfer of jurisdiction in the foreign settlements (treaty ports) to Japan in July 1899 was an essential precondition for the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902.
