Damien Lewis Libri

Halima Bashir è una giovane donna del Darfur che con coraggio e determinazione diventa il primo medico della sua comunità. Nel proprio ruolo, si ritrova testimone della continua violenza perpetrata dalla minoranza araba contro le tribù nere, soprattutto degli abusi sessuali sulle bambine. Senza farsi intimidire, denuncia con forza questi crimini all'ONU e, a sua volta, subisce feroci torture e soprusi finché riesce a fuggire in Inghilterra, dove vive tuttora con la famiglia come rifugiata politica. Queste pagine rappresentano un appello, carico di dolore e insieme di speranza perché il mondo non resti indifferente davanti allo sterminio di un popolo. Questo libro sostiene i progetti COOPI: una parte del ricavato sarà devoluta a favore delle donne vittime di violenza in Sierra Leone. www.coopi.org

Damien Lewis's new bestseller tells the action-packed, riveting story of the band of mavericks and visionaries who made the SAS. Using hitherto untold stories and new archival sources, Damien Lewis follows one close-knit band of warriors from the SAS foundation through to the Italian landings - chronicling the extraordinary part they played as the tide of the Second World War truly turned in the Allied's favour. This is a narrative of wall-to-wall do-or-die action and daring, chronicling the exploits of some of the most highly-decorated soldiers of the twentieth-century.

The incredible true story of the SAS's mission to liberate Europe, featuring never-before-seen archive material FROM BESTSELLING MILITARY HISTORIAN DAMIEN LEWIS Summer, 1943: the largest invasion fleet ever assembled sailed for Europe, aiming to bulldoze its way onto Nazi shores. At its vanguard went a few hundred elite soldiers, their Royal Navy warship bearing the iconic motto 'Who Dares Wins'. The aim: Led by the legendary SAS commander Blair 'Paddy' Mayne, these war-bitten, piratical raiders were tasked to do the impossible - to bulldoze their way onto the most heavily defended Nazi shores - against all odds, outnumbered fifty-to-one. If they succeeded, it would mark the turning point in the war. If they failed, the consequences were unthinkable. Action-packed and filled with heroic endeavour, SAS Forged in Hell is breath-taking combat writing at its best, in true Damien Lewis style.
