A monastery is dying. Brother Columba and his frail Abbot face the task of having to leave the rural sanctuary that has been home to an order of monks since its foundation to live in a care home in inner-city London. Columba fills his spare time by writing, going over his life journey as a wayward young man who dramatically ended up in a contemplative community in rural Dorset.

The Undercover Nazi Hunter

The Undercover Nazi Hunter

Wolfe Frank

Wolfe Frank

A 1949 series of articles on life in post-World War II Germany, written by an undercover German reporter for an American paper—and the story behind them. Wolfe Frank was chief interpreter at the Nuremberg Trials where he was dubbed "The Voice of Doom." A playboy turned resistance worker branded an "enemy of the state—to be shot on sight," he had fled Germany for England in 1937. Initially interned as an "enemy alien," he was later allowed to join the British Army where he rose to the rank of captain. Unable to speak English when he arrived, he became, by the time of the trials, the finest interpreter in the world. In the months following the trials, the misinformation coming out of Germany began to alarm Frank, so in 1949, backed by the New York Herald Tribune, he returned to the homeland he once fled to go undercover and report on German post-war life. He worked alongside Germans in factories, on the docks, in a refugee camp,... Born on St Valentine’s Day 1913 and a strikingly handsome man, Wolfe Frank was irresistible to women. Married five times he had a multitude of affairs many of which he graphically describes in his candid autobiography "Nuremberg’s Voice of Doom" (published by Frontline Books). In a packed lifetime other than being a gifted linguist he was also, at various times, a businessman, racing driver, skier, theater impresario, actor, television and radio presenter, journalist, salesman, financier, restaurateur, and property developer.
