The Autobiography - Johnnie Walker - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Young Johnnie Walker was obsessed with music and loved to share that passion. So it wasn''t long after he''d started DJing in dance halls and pubs around his Solihull home that he got his big break: he talked his way into a slot with newly founded pirate station Radio England - and launched his incredible career.Here, he tells of forty years at the heart of British broadcasting, stints that involved working on the legendary Radio Caroline, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2; of the stars and musicians he''s met and worked with; of how he won the hearts of his listeners and of his devotion to pioneering new music.Johnnie also speaks candidly about the personal challenges he''s faced: divorce, exile and his very public struggles with drug addiction and cancer. His life has been inspiring and - above all - entertaining. His autobiography is no different.

Who Killed Una Lynskey? - Mick Clifford - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

THE NO 1 BESTSELLER***A true story of murder and vengeance, a shattered community and a miscarriage of justice that echoes down the decadesOctober 1971. Nineteen-year-old Una Lynskey vanishes near her home in Co. Meath. In the weeks that follow, and on flimsy grounds, gardaí identify three young local men as suspects. Within days of her body being found, one of the three is beaten to death by members of Una’s family. The entire sequence of events is a tragedy in a quiet rural community - the wrong men jailed, no one ever facing justice - and becomes one of the most notorious failures in Irish policing and judicial history. In Who Killed Una Lynskey?, award-winning journalist Mick Clifford has built a compelling portrait of the case from interviews with the surviving main players, as well as exclusive access to the files of a private investigator who uncovered information the gardaí missed - or ignored. A timely, humane and compulsive read, this is a ground-breaking account of the botched investigation and its devastating consequences for not just four devastated families, but also the reputation of the gardaí. ---'A brilliant book' Nicola Tallant, Crime World Podcast'A grim, unsettling and sometimes desperately sad book - but also an undeniably important one’ Irish Independent‘Meticulously researched and clearly written chronicle of the nightmares endured by several families’ The Irish Times'Compelling' Irish Independent'A fantastic book' Pat Kenny, NewsTalk'Written with great gusto' Brendan O'Connor, RTÉ Radio One‘Terrific and at the same time terrifying … superb’ Eamon Dunphy, The Stand Podcast‘Fascinating’ Radio Kerry

The Battle for Scotland - Andrew Marr - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Andrew Marr''s first book tells the distinctive story of Scottish politics -- now updated with a new introductory chapter. ''We may be about to see a new country - indeed, two new countries, - emerging on these islands. Half a lifetime ago, I sat down to write this book as a work of history. As it''s aged, it''s become current affairs.'' Just twenty years ago it seemed impossible that Scotland would ever get home rule, let alone full independence.

He attempts to explain the deep sources of Scottish national feeling and the political will which has brought us to this deeply uncertain time. And in a substantial new introduction, Marr considers how we got here so suddenly, what the stakes really are and what the questions every voting Scot (and every non-voting UK citizen) will be asking themselves.Andrew Marr was born in Glasgow. He graduated from Cambridge University and has enjoyed a long career in political journalism, working for the Scotsman , the Independent , the Economist , the Express and the Observer . From 2000 to 2005 he was the BBC''s Political Editor.
