Softcover. Condición: Good. About the Author Mike Morgan is a journalist and the author of Sting of the Scorpion. His father served in the SAS and he has had unique access to ex-members of this elite force. Product Description Twenty-five vivid stories about the larger-than-life exploits of the SAS in the Second World - an SAS Jeep patrol in France outnumbered fifty-to-one by SS troopers, who shot their way out to safety in their bullet-riddled vehicle, killing a quarter of their opposition; an SAS soldier who talked his way through enemy roadblocks in North Africa, in full British uniform, and tore a strip off the guard for neglecting to check his papers; and another, who walked the whole length of Italy to escape after his raid went wrong. Supported by a selection of rare archive and action shots, this is the first comprehensive pulling together of all the best stories in one book - some previously unpublished.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. This is an account of the rivalry and sometimes-bloody conflict between two families from the west coast of Scotland, the Campbells and the McDonalds. Starting with the violent death of the Campbell chief in 1297, the feud then went on for 450 years in Scotland and Northern Ireland with numerous cullings and clashings inflicted by both sides, amongst which the incident at Glencoe just happens to be the best publicized. Despite the mutual antipathy, both families continued to grow, to scatter over the world and to produce a large number of talented descendants including two British Prime Ministers (Campbell Bannerman and Ramsay MacDonald) and the first Canadian Prime Minister. The second half of the book charts this more peaceful period after 1745 when large numbers of both clans spread rapidly around the transported as criminals, evicted in clearances, or simply seeking their fortune in peace or war.

Softcover. Condición: Good. John Van der Kiste's book takes in the principal monarchies of Scandinavia going back to the beginning of the 19th century. He uses unpublished sources and photographs to show how they relate to modern European history. The book also considers the political backgrounds to the monarchs' reigns; as well as examining the suspected pro-German leanings of Gustav V, the author describes the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in 1905, which eventually led to the election of Christian IX's grandson as Haakon VII.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. illustrated edition. Atlantis: fact or fiction? Simply an invention, or an idea with some truth in it about our distant past? Has there ever been a superior civilization, lost to conventional archaeology, to which the rest of the world's cultures somehow owe their own origins? Spurred by the recent output of publications, television programmes and websites that encourage belief in the Atlantis idea, in this book a respected mainstream archaeological writer takes on the theories of the 'alternative archaeologists'.The Atlantis Syndrome explores the whole concept of Atlantis from Plato's first references to it around 360 BC, when the story started life as a moral tale with strong reference to the sorry state of Plato's home city of Athens in a materialistic age. After the close of classical times, Atlantis was largely forgotten until the Renaissance, when, with the dawn of the great age of exploration, it became a way of interpreting new discoveries around the world, especially in the Americas.The Atlantis idea has exercised its strange fascination ever since. All the theories of alternative archaeology, however diverse, continue to circle round the central idea of a lost ancient supercivilization of surpassing wisdom and prowess, whose survivors scattered themselves like seeds of enlightenment around the world after some prodigious catastrophe. Mysterious ancient texts in vanished languages, lost tribes, underwater roads and temples, cities buried beneath the Antarctic ice, sacred geometries all around the world, star maps in pyramid fields and flight paths of the 'gods': all these notions relate back to the Atlantis idea and are critically reviewed, author by author, in this book, to build up a diagnosis of the 'Atlantis Syndrome' of beliefs and attitudes so passionately maintained in many quarters in the face of orthodox archaeology and science. And, finally, if it turns out that Atlantis never existed after all and the entire set of theories associated with it cannot be sustained then we have the opportunity to find out in this book what might really have happened in the long course of human evolution and prehistory.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. Commissioned by the Emperor Hadrian, Arrian wrote the military manual Ars Tactica during his governorship of Cappadocia (AD 131-7). The cavalry section describes the parade-ground training exercises, forming the only such complete treatise from the Roman world. The author, a professional horse-trainer and equestrian, draws on a new translation of Arrian's work to analyze in detail all the Roman cavalry maneuvers, from charges to mounted javelin throwing, having tried and tested some of them herself. She also discusses the selection of mounts, equipment used, Arrian's understanding of equine physiology and psychology, and examples of major cavalry actions. Illustrated with black and white photos and drawings. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Softcover. Condición: Good. The building of the American Army in the Second World War from a tiny, outdated and ill-equipped force into one of the mightiest armies of the world was rightly described by Sir Winston Churchill as being a 'prodigy of organization' Its value to the Allied cause was immeasurable and it had a fine fighting record all over the world. The U.S. Army was marvelously well equipped, thanks to American inventiveness, 'know-how' and technological prowess, and by 1945 it led the world in weaponry, strategic mobility and logistic capabilities. This unique and fascinating study details the organization, structure and equipment of the U.S. Army - everything from weapons to tactics, markings to camouflage, and rations to radio sets. Detailed appendices also cover military symbology, field orders and sample battle orders. Fully illustrated with a varied and exciting selection of contemporary action shots, this really is a most unique and indispensable reference guide to the world's greatest army during the Second World War.

Softcover. Condición: Good. New Ed. Victorian Britain has long been viewed as a tightly buttoned society in sexual matters. In fact, female prostitution, or the Great Social Evil as contemporaries called it, was endemic and the persistence of the phenomenon infuriated anti-vice campaigners, while perplexing social reformers.The issue being debated was whether society should tolerate prostitution as an inevitable phenomenon which should be regulated in the public interest - the public health position - or suppressed as an intolerable evil - the moral purity position. This important debate is traced through an examination of extracts from key contemporary polemics and eyewitness accounts, interwoven with a running commentary on the pattern of the debate and its implications for the study of Victorian life.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. Since the early 1980s popular German TV journalist and presenter Guido Knopp has unearthed a wealth of new material about the leading figures of the Third Reich. He has spoken to countless contemporaries and eyewitnesses, relatives and friends of these men, and has been given access to documents that until now have been kept under lock and key. In this, the latest book in Knopp's groundbreaking reassessment of Germany's guilty past, he turns to the careers and the relationship with Hitler of six key military leaders of the Third Reich. Two of Nazi Germany's most brilliant field commanders, Erich von Manstein and Erwin Rommel, are examined alongside Friedrich Paulus, the doomed field marshal encircled at Stalingrad; Wilhelm Keitel, Hitler's intermediary and confidant in the Fuhrerbunker; Ernst Udet, idol of the Luftwaffe; and Wilhelm Canaris, arch-conspirator and head of the Abwehr, Germany's secret service.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. 1st ed. The author was an amateur field archaeologist until 1949, his profession being a clerk with Barclay's Bank Ltd. His first book, Ancient Burial-Mounds of England, was published in 1936. From 1941-5 he served in Egypt with the R.A.F. where he held a commission in air-photographic interpretation, whilst also finding time to write a book on Egyptian Pyramids (1947). He was with the Victoria County History of Wiltshire 1949-52, when he was appointed Curator in Archaeology and Ethnography at Bristol City Museum - a post which he held until his retirement in 1972. His greatest contribution to field archaeology has been his surveys of the prehistoric and later barrows of much of southern Britain. He has devoted his holidays to the study of pre-Classical tombs in the Mediterranean, his work being summarised in Barrow, Pyramid and Tomb (1975). His other interests are reflected in his books on the coinmints of Bath (1973) and Bristol (1986) and on the Folklore of Prehistoric Sites in Britain (1976). These and other activities are described in his Archaeological Autobiography.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. The city of Caen was perhaps the greatest major obstacle in the path of the Allied advance inland after their landings in Normandy, June 6th, 1944. Consequently it was a key objective for 3rd British Division, landing on Sword Beach. The Allies were unable to capture the strategically important city on D-Day, however, in the teeth of armored counter-attacks from 21st Panzer Division. Renewed attempts by 3rd Canadian Division on June 7th-8th were foiled by 12th SS Panzer Division 'Hitlerjugend', as were 7th British Armoured Division's thrusts towards the city on June 11th-14th. On June 25th Operation 'Epsom' was launched to take Caen. Preceded by RAF Bomber Command attacks, further British and Canadian assaults on July 4th stalled before the whole of the city could be taken. On July 7th Operation 'Charnwood' forced the Germans to withdraw from northern Caen. A much heavier bombardment opened Operation 'Goodwood' on July 18th, in the course of which the Canadians finally managed to liberate the rest of Caen, by now largely demolished after five weeks of intensive fighting.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. This book provides a readable overview of Tudor food and eating habits. Chapters cover kitchens and cooking, what people drank, food and health (including Tudor ideas about healthy eating), setting the table and table manners, feasting and banquets. The author shows that dining habits in the sixteenth century were not the same as those of the Middle Ages and that Tudor dining, at least for the wealthier section of the population, was much more sophisticated than it is generally given credit for.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. What can we know of the tomb, its original form and the date of the rock-cut chamber at the heart of the present Edicule, and of the successive structures which have enclosed the tomb? Using written documents, the visual materials available, and the evidence of the present 1809-10 structure and what it can tell us about its predecessors, this book attempts to answer these questions and to establish the authenticity of the rock itself.The rock-cut tomb lies in a structure known as the Edicule, itself inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the heart of Jerusalem. For more than ten years, Martin Biddle worked on the archaeological investigation of the tomb, the first since 1849. Precise recording in three dimensions, using photogrammary linked to a detailed descriptive database, enabled the structure of the tomb to be revealed as never before. After a brief description of the archaeological investigation, the book examines the evidence of the changing nature of the Edicule through its visual representations, dating from the fifth century onwards - ivory carvings, models in diverse materials, pilgrim flasks of silver and glass, rings, mosaics, censers and manuscript drawings. Written, and sometimes conflicting, sources in the Gospels and elsewhere for the siting of the tomb are then discussed. The heart of the book reviews the history of the tomb over the centuries in the light of these new discoveries, from the original construction of the Edicule by Constantine up to modern times.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. 0. Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe (1891-1972) was an unofficial go-between at the highest level of international politics, conveying secret messages and setting up meetings involving Hitler, Goering, Lord Halifax, Lord Rothermere, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and, later, US Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Yet her origins were far from aristocratic. The illegitimate daughter of a Jewish woman from Prague and a Jewish moneylender, Stephanie always claimed to be of pure Aryan descent. A shameless social climber, she had a child by the Emperors son-in-law and acquired her title by marriage to another Austro-Hungarian prince. Employed by Lord Rothermere, her most important assignment was to bring Rothermere and Adolf Hitler together. Hitler awarded her the Gold Medal of the Nazi Party, a unique honor for any woman, let alone one generally known to be Jewish. Divorced since 1920, Stephanie had conducted a string of affaires with rich and influential men. In 1937 she began an intense relationship with Fritz Wiedemann, Hitler's adjutant. When Hitler learned of this he dispatched Wiedemann to the post of Consul-General in San Francisco, where Stephanie joined him in 1939. In 1941, she managed to avoid being deported as a spy by seducing the head of the US immigration authority. After the war, Stephanie began a completely new career as a journalist for several publications including Axel Springer's Stern magazine, for whom she secured the Kennedy and Johnson interviews.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. When the Greeks deposed their unpopular, childless, German-born King Otho in 1862, their choice for the vacant throne eventually fell on William, a prince from Denmark. Despite the instability of Greece, William - who chose the regal name of King George - proved an effective and popular monarch, weathering the storms engendered by nationalist aspirations in the Balkans, and defeat by Turkey in the war of 1897. Part of the King's prestige was owing to family connections: in the year of his election to the throne his eldest sister, Alexandra, married the future King Edward VII of Britain; and four years later another sister, Dagmar, married the Tsarevich, later Tsar Alexander III of Russia.On his assassination in 1913 King George was succeeded by his eldest son, Constantine, a brother-in-law of William II, German Emperor. King Constantine endeavoured to remain neutral during the First World War, but pressure from both sides, and from his government, forced him to abdicate in favour of his second son, Alexander. The latter's death from a monkey bite three years later led to King Constantine's recall, but a disastrous war with Turkey in 1922 resulted in his second abdication and death in exile a few months later.This remarkable history of the Greek royal family between 1863 and 1974 (illustrated with a large selection of photographs), shows how they reigned over an often turbulent country, in an age when constitutional monarchy in Europe was still evolving; and how being related by blood or marriage to most of the other royal houses could be both an advantage and a hindrance.

Softcover. Condición: Good. Poc edition. The exploits of T. E. Lawrence as British liaison officer in the Arab Revolt, recounted in his literary masterpiece Seven Pillars of Wisdom, made him one of the most famous Englishmen of his generation. The book became a classic, and later provided the inspiration for David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. Throughout the 1920s Lawrence, like many of his contemporaries, remained deeply affected by wartime trauma. Close to breakdown, he enlisted in the RAF under an assumed name, and remained in the ranks until 1935. From the security of the barrack-room he carried on a remarkable correspondence with writers, artists and politicians. He retired from the RAF to his cottage in Clouds Hill, Dorset, where he planned to set up a private press, but a few weeks later, following a motor-cycle accident, he died.

Softcover. Condición: Good. 2. In 1701, in reaction to the exertion by William Pitt the Youngers government of diplomatic pressure and the threat of naval force to determine the outcome of the struggle between Russia and Turkey in the Balkans, the playwright, and opposition MP, Sheridan attacked what he called the system of ambition, of vain glory in British foreign policy.Foreign policy was of central concern in Britain between 1660 and 1793. It affected and interested not only politicians but also all those involved in matters of economics and religion-with taxation, religion and the succession being intimately bound up with Britains alignment in Europe. It was a time of state-making and of colonial expansion and empire building. A time of expansion, consolidation, and the protection of interests.Jeremy Blacks respected history of British foreign policy in this crucial and fascinating era deals with all the major conflicts, including the Anglo-Dutch Wars, the Wars of the Spanish and Austrian Successions, the Seven Years War and the American and French revolutions. It includes the role of parliament; the influence of the crown; the diplomatic system; the impact of military considerations; the importance of trade and the growing effect of public opinion and the press. A fascinating record of Britains rise to spectacular greatness on the world stage, A System of Ambition? Will be invaluable for any student of eighteenth-century British and European history.
