During Christmas 1914, in a war already famous for its horror and brutality, enemy shook hands with enemy in No Man's Land, exchanged souvenirs, even played football. The truce between the trenches extended over at least two-thirds of the British line and there were similar cease-fires in the French and Belgian sectors. In some areas the peaceable mood lingered well into 1915. Originally published in 1984, this book is one of the finest accounts ever assembled on one of the most overlooked stories of World War I.

It is easy, however, to remember the fear that gripped a nation at the time of the Truro murders. Malcolm Brown heads a team of journalists who have put together a wide-ranging picture of major crime in Australia. It is an enthralling account of the changing nature of crime through the years, a detailed case-by-case look at some of the most chilling events and colourful characters in our history.
