Greece has always been celebrated for its classical past, whitewashed villages & cerulean seas, but in recent years the country has been at the centre of a debt crisis that has sown economic ruin, spurred panic in international markets, & tested Europe`s decades-old project of forging a closer union. With vivid character-driven narratives & engaging reporting that offers an immersive sense of place, this comprehensive account brings to life the causes of the country`s financial collapse & examines the changes emerging in its aftermath. A rebellion against tax authorities breaks out on a normally serene Aegean isl&. A mayor from a bucolic, northern Greek village is gunned down by the municipal treasurer. An ageing, leftist hero of the Second World War fights to win compensation from Germany for the wartime occupation. A once marginal group of neo-Nazis rises to political prominence out of a ramshackle Athens neighborhood. THE FULL CATASTROPHE goes beyond the transient coverage in the daily headlines to deliver an enduring & absorbing portrait of modern Greece. ...

Vin Denson`s ” The Full Cycle” is the story of that remarkable career, one of loyalty, courage & friendship. Vin Denson was a racing cyclist for almost half a century, & his career ran the full cycle. He began as he ended
- as a typical English clubman, riding the weekly club time trial & strapping on a saddlebag for the weekend hostel tour. In between were eight glorious years spent as a professional on the Continent when he rode with & against the very best riders of his era. During that period he worked selflessly in the engine room of the peloton; he was the original `super domestique`, & Jacques Anquetil & Rik Van Looy thought the world of him, even if they showed their gratitude in totally different ways. But he was also capable of winning on his own account. In addition to many other successes, Vin was the first Briton to win a stage of the Tour of Italy, & stages in the tough Dunkirk 4-Days race. His victory in the Tour of Luxemburg made him the first British winner of a professional European stage race.
