I Shall Bear Witness -- Victor Klemperer

An astonishing account of what daily life was like for a Jew living under Nazism in Germany.

It provides a detailed historical account of the fear, hatred and sense of betrayal that marked out each day in the Third Reich.

This is a book of such breathtaking importance it demands to be read by everyone and forgotten by no-one.

As both his civil liberties and basic human rights are eroded, Victor Klemperer remains eloquent and noble in the face of almost overwhelming odds. Electricity and water supplies are cut off, businesses taken and immigrant taxes are created, to steal money from the Jewish community.

In order to make the future a better place, we must understand the past and this is a past that we must make sure is never repeated. An essential buy!

Mick & Keith -- Chris Salewicz

Here, Chris Salewicz -- a Rolling Stone and NME journalist -- turns his attention to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Mick & Keith is a well-written and informative book that chronicles the lives, music and excesses of one of rock's most famous song-writing duos.

It does so from their 60s origins to the present day, and Salewicz does not shy away from the darker side of their lives. He meticulously details Mick's womanising and Keith's descent into heroin abuse. It is a comprehensive and well-presented account of Jagger and Richards' rise to fame, containing snapshots of the pair taken over the last 40 years. This book will definitely have a welcome place on the coffee table of any Rolling Stones fan. Equally, anyone who is not particularly interested in the Stones can still enjoy it for its insight into the often self-destructive rock and roll lifestyle.

New Free Chocolate Sex

Keith Lowe's novel holds a typical boy meets girl plot, but he manages to write new twists and produce an enjoyable romantic comedy.

To Matt, marketing director of T&B chocolate company, chocolate is more than food -- it's a substance which should be loved and exploited.

To Sam, a journalist, Matt is everything she hates.

She will never forget the horrific conditions she found African children in on a visit to a plantation, and vows she will expose the darker side of the industry.

But Sam and Matt find themselves thrown together, and they cannot hide their feelings forever.

This £6.99 Arrow paperback offers a pleasant, entertaining, but unessential way to spend a

few hours.
