1 .Not me : memoirs of a German childhood / Joachim Fest ; translated from the German by Martin Chalmers.
Fest, Joachim C., 1926-2006
London : Atlantic Books, 2012.
Summary: Few others have determined our understanding of the Third Reich as Joachim Fest. Fierce and intransigent, German born Fest was a relentless interrogator of his nation's modern history. His analysis, The Face of the Third Reich, his biographies of Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer and his descriptions of the last days in the Fuehrer's bunker have all reached a worldwide audience of millions - but how did he, the contemporary historian born in 1926 - personally experience National Socialism, the Second World War and a defeated Germany? In this autobiography of his childhood and youth, Joachim Fest chronicles his own extraordinary life, providing an intimate picture of his immediate experiences of those dark years of conflict. Whether describing his Catholic home in a Berlin suburb, his father's early working ban, his own expulsion from school - or 'Aunt Dolly's' introductions to the operatic world, the precocious wisdoms of his elder brother, his readings during his military service or his 7-day flight in a wooden box from imprisonment by the Americans - these are the long-awaited personal reflections of a born observer.

2 .Muscles : the story of Ken Rosewall, Australia's little master of the courts / Ken Rosewall as told to Richard Naughton ; foreword by John Barrett.
Naughton, Richard
Barrett, John, 1931-
Richmond, Vic. : Slattery Media Group, 2012.
Summary: "Not only was Ken Rosewall one of the top six players of all time, he was at the forefront of men's tennis through the late 1950s until the advent of Open tennis in 1968. He was still at the top when the ATP was formed in 1972. Today's players owe a lot to the likes of Ken Rosewall." --John Newcombe, winner of seven Grand Slam singles titles and member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Richard Naughton's second tennis title follows Ken Rosewall's ascent to glory--from early competitions and his year of glory in 1953, when we was a member of the Australian LTAA touring team--to his emergence on the pro tennis scene and eight grand slam tournament victories. Recounted in part by Rosewall himself and extensively researched by Naughton, the book provides a fascinating snapshot of the worldwide tennis scene in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and is accompanied by photographs from Rosewall's personal collection.

3 .Raymond Chandler: A Mysterious Something in the Light [hardback]
Williams, Tom
London, UK Aurum Press 2012.
Summary: To describe a book as Chandleresque is instantly to conjure a particular world. A world of violence; of mean streets trodden by lonely, hard-drinking private detectives; of shady bars inhabited by dangerous femme fatales. It's the world of Philip Marlowe.
