Escape from Baghdad

The gripping true story of James Ashcroft’s audacious return to war-torn Iraq to save his friend The Mission: Get in. Rescue an entire family from death on teh streets of Baghdad. Get everyone out alive.  The Pay: Saving the life of a friend. In James Ashcroft’s first book, Making a Killing, his escape from death at the hands of insurgents in Iraq was thanks to the bravery of his interpreter and friend Sammy, a Sunni ex-Iraqi air force pilot. Now, a call for help means Ash must take a break from chasing pirates in West Africa and return to the chaos of war-torn Baghdad. Abandoned by the occupying Coalition Forces and at the mercy of the Shia-dominated Iraqi police, Sammy and his family face certain death unless Ash and his crack team can get in and quickly rescue them. From secretly acquiring weapons on the black market to dodging the fearsome death squads that roam the streets and the suicide bombers that wreak havoc on a daily basis, this is the story of a vulnerable family adrift in the chaos of war, where the only thing that can be relied upon is the bond between former brothers-in-arms. And this time, these guns-for-hire who come with a hefty price tag aren’t even being paid—this time, it’s personal.

Making movies is the most exciting way to earn a living and it is not surprising that media and film studies remain the most popular courses at colleges across the western world. A short film provides an opportunity for elliptical, poetic, condensed story telling. Shorts can take risks rarely seen in features. It is the arena where a strong voice or individual vision is possible; an invitation for experimentation and originality. Making Short Films, 3rd edition is entirely revised and restructured, providing a much more complete and detailed guide to filmmaking, with more information on new technology, illustrations and ideas for best practice.

The Surrealist painter deliberately lived his life to complement his deceptive and illusory art. By the end, it was so close to being a confidence trick in itself that historians and biographers have had to struggle to separate fact from the sexual fantasy. Lozano's book is now set to bring the voice of an eye witness to the Salvador Dali myth - and to all the orgiastic gossip about the past. Vanessa Thorpe - The Observer February 20th, 2000.

Carlos Lozano, a multifaceted artist, had an intimate relationship with Dalí and was one of the few people who managed to join his, almost impenetrable, circle of friends. From that privileged proximity he narrates what he saw and felt: the phrases and extraordinary reflections of the painter, the wild and crazy parties, the luxuries and the capacity that Dalí had to turn everything into gold. Much more than a simple biography, these memoirs written by the prestigious writer Clifford Thurlow- can be read with the pleasure and emotion.
