Operation Chiffon : the secret story of MI5 and MI6 and the road to peace in Ireland / Peter Taylor.

On the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, Peter Taylor tells the gripping story of Operation Chiffon, MI5's top-secret intelligence operation that finally helped bring peace to Ireland. April 1998: the Good Friday Agreement is signed, ending decades of violence and bloodshed in Northern Ireland. The process of getting the IRA to end its so-called 'armed struggle' was always the prerequisite of the search for peace. It was Operation Chiffon that made it possible. Operation Chiffon takes us inside the top-secret intelligence operation whose roots go back to the bloodiest years of the conflict in the early 1970s, involving officers from MI6 and, later in the 1990s, MI5. The remarkable story, which has remained hidden for 40 years, is now revealed by legendary BBC journalist Peter Taylor with unique access to the officers involved.

Aftermath : life in the fallout of the Third Reich, 1945-1955 / Harald Jähner.

How does a nation recover from fascism? 1945 to 1955 was a raw, wild decade poised between two eras that proved decisive for Germany's future - and one starkly different to how most of us imagine it today. Post-war Germany found itself occupied over four zones by the victorious Allied forces. More than half its population was displaced, 10 million newly released forced labourers and several million prisoners of war returned to an uncertain existence in a country that found itself politically, economically and morally bankrupt. 'Aftermath' is the first history of Germany's national mentality in the immediate post-war years. Using major global political developments as a backdrop, the author weaves a series of life stories into a nuanced panorama of a nation undergoing monumental change.
