Sample Book Insights: #1 The town of al-Karameh was occupied by Israel Defense Forces the day after the Six-Day War, who were there to take out the Fatah guerrilla fighters hiding there. They did not expect the Palestinians to fight with honor. #2 The battle continued, and the Israelis began to take casualties. The Fatah fighters were prepared to die, as they knew that if they survived, they would regain their honor. #3 The Battle of al-Karameh was a huge victory for the Palestinian forces. We had shown the world that we were no longer just a bunch of refugees, but a proud and courageous people who had been robbed of our homeland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dreams of a Refugee is the extraordinary story of Mostafa Salameh, born in Kuwait to Palestinian refugees. After a childhood in the camps and a series of low-paid jobs, Mostafa was given a rare opportunity to travel to London, working in hospitality at the Jordanian Embassy. From there he moved to Edinburgh, where he took up a life of parties and nightclubbing. Religion played no part in his thinking. All this was to change. One night, Mostafa awoke having dreamt that he was standing at the top of the world reciting the adhan, the Muslim call to prayer. He took this as a sign that he needed to accomplish something previously unimaginable for a person in his position – to climb Everest. Despite having no prior mountaineering experience, Mostafa sought help from friends and sponsors and, having failed twice, finally summited Everest on Jordanian Independence Day, May 25th 2008. He went on to become the first Jordanian to climb all 'Seven Summits' and reach the North Pole. In early 2016 he skied to the South Pole, via a new route, completing the elite 'Explorer's Grand Slam' and joining a club of only thirteen adventurers ever to have achieved this feat. Yet exploring is only part of the story. Now a devout Muslim, Mostafa is committed to spreading the message of tolerant Islam, working with refugees and young people to help them further their goals. Through climbing he has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity. His future projects include leading an all-female attempt on Everest, as well as numerous charitable climbs and leadership programmes. Mostafa is also a regular public speaker both in the UK, Middle East and further afield. This new paperback edition of Dreams of a Refugee includes a foreword by His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan, as well as photographs of Mostafa's climbs and his charitable work. Entertaining, inspiring, and often surprising, Mostafa is honest about both the positive aspects of his life and its past excesses, and discusses his discovery of Muslim faith. His message ultimately is a simple one: 'Each of us has an Everest inside us, which we each can summit, if only we dare to dream'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is belief a useless guide to truth? Why do we need to understand the danger of religious identity? Was Moses a ruthless psychopath? What led to the Catholic Church’s moral cowardice over the Nazis and child-abusing priests? How harmful have Islamic interpretations been for women in Arab countries? What are the best answers to claims the Bible is inerrant? Are spiritual experiences just products of the mind? Freedom from Religion explores the evidence and makes a powerful case for walking away from religion. It’s a guide for those defending non-belief and deeply challenging to those within religion.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The British Secret Service has been accused of being heartless and incompetent many times over the years. The phrase unhappily, East Germany had been part of my accuser’s parish in the days when we had worked together goes through my mind. #2 The lunch with Oldfield did not go as smoothly as I had hoped. Over the hors d’oeuvres, Oldfield extolled the ethical standards of his old Service, and implied that young David had besmirched its good name. #3 The British have had a long-standing love-hate relationship with their spies. They want the image, but they don’t want to put up with negative reviews or derision. #4 The British spy system is the envy of every spook in the free and unfree world. No good pointing out that many approved memoirs of former members depict the Service in the clothes in which it likes to be admired.
