The year the once all-conquering German army was finally defeated.By the summer of 1944, Germany was in crisis. The Allied landings had forced another battle arena upon an army already fighting on the vast Eastern front. The July bomb plot attempt on Hitler's life made the dictator even more paranoid and suspicious of his own military commanders.

From D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and on to the Fall of Berlin, the author examines the last battles fought by the German army - which had by no means given up its struggle - as the Allies swept across Europe, charting the very unique experiences of a military force moving from dominance to defeat. Perfect for readers of Antony Beevor and Max Hastings.

Is there any way of truly knowing?David Canter asked the same questions whilst developing the new science of criminal profiling, a revolutionary approach to violent crime investigations. In this highly acclaimed account, Canter reveals his methods of precisely identifying and locating murderers and rapists: the unconscious behaviours and tell-tale patterns that they always leave behind. These pioneering techniques of building profiles transformed policing, still in use across the world to hunt and capture dangerous psychopaths. Taking us into the heart of some of the most notorious criminal investigations in British history, Canter's writing is a gripping read for fans of true crime and human psychology. 'Fascinating. A persuasive and thorough contribution to a nascent science' Mail on Sunday
