He spent an hour alone with Hitler and Göring after the remilitarization of the Rhineland. He stood next to Hitler as he addressed a crowd on the night of the invasion of Austria. And he joined Hitler for afternoon tea at the Eagle's Nest following his historic first meeting with Neville Chamberlain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e These stories made Ward Price world famous, but he himself seemed uncomfortable in the glare of the spotlight, hiding his true self behind a carefully cultivated veneer of suave and easy-going charm. Interviewing Hitler is the first book to attempt to discover the real Ward Price, and the truth of his reporting on Hitler. He emerges as a debonair, monocle-wearing raconteur who boxed with Hemingway, fought a duel in Germany, took part in a bombing raid over Austria, and was almost killed while flying with Mussolini. He interviewed many of the leading figures of the first half of the twentieth century, including Churchill, Hirohito, De Gaulle and Clemenceau. But behind his cover of insouciance and charm lay a cynical and ambitious personality who would stop at nothing to get to the top of his profession. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is a journey that takes us through a series of historic events, and deep into the dark heart of British journalism. His story provides fascinating insights into the pre-war years of Nazi Germany and the complicated waters through which the British press navigated themselves. It is also a timely reminder of the importance of fair, unbiased and balanced reporting, and a warning of the dangers of compromise for the sake of personal ambition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51368720171231,"sku":"9781803999135","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/Kyxc64jbDZ9781803999135.webp?v=1789132283"},{"product_id":"move-an-american-religion-paperback","title":"Move: An American Religion - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is a religion? That is the question that Richard Kent Evans attempts to answer in this book. He does so through the story of MOVE, a little-known group with a fascinating story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMOVE emerged in Philadelphia in the early 1970s. It was a small, mostly African American group devoted to the teachings of John Africa. In 1985, the Philadelphia Police Department--working in concert with federal and state law enforcement--attacked a home that \"MOVE people,\" as they preferred to be known, shared in West Philadelphia. Hundreds of police officers and firefighters laid siege to the building using tear gas, ten thousand rounds of ammunition, and improvised explosives. Most infamously, a police officer riding in a helicopter dropped a bomb containing C-4 explosives, which he had acquired from the FBI, onto the roof of the MOVE house. The bomb started a fire, which officials allowed to spread in hopes of chasing the MOVE people out of the house. Police officers fired upon those who tried to escape the flames. Eleven MOVE people died in the attack, including John Africa. Five of those who died were children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Richard Kent Evans tells the story of MOVE--a story that has been virtually lost outside of Philadelphia. What was MOVE? Many MOVE members thought of themselves as belonging to a religion, and they sought legal recognition. But to others, including other religious groups like the Quakers and, more importantly, the courts, MOVE was anything but a religion. Evans dives deep into how we decide what constitutes a genuine religious tradition, and the enormous consequences of that decision.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51368731410655,"sku":"9780197839065","price":51.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/3kg23AO0049780197839065.webp?v=1789132306"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/richard-evans.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
