Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. West Wall. Very slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. The Battle for the Siegfried Line was not only the most important of the 1944-45 campaign against Germany, it was to prove the key battle in the entire war in the west. It raged for six, long, bloody months along a front of 350 miles, and cost over a quarter of a million British, American, Canadian and French casualties. Today, more than sixty years after Hitler orders its construction, the 'Great Wall of Germany' can reputedly still be seen from the stratosphere, crawling across the German countryside like some obscene, grey, primeval reptile. The disdain with which the 'Tommy' was going to 'hand out his washing on the Siegfried Line' was mingled with awe at the sheer difficultry and dangers of the campaign. The author's vivid account brinds to life the principal personalities engaged in the struggle to break through the West Wall.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Spellmount Library of Military Histo. Hardback. Military Memoirs of Four Brothers. This book, first published in 1829 and reprinted for the first time since 1838, is an extremely rare record of the military service of one family during the Napoleonic Wars. The Fernyhoughs of Lichfield provided four officers to the British naval and military forces, two of whom died on service with the Royal Marines. The letters and jounrals of two of the brothers provide a fascinating account of some of the more important, and some of the lesser-known campaigns and operations of the period, including the Trafalgar campaign, the expedition to South America, and the Peninsular War. Robert Fernyhough serving in the latter with that most elite and famous corpts, the 95th Rifles, later the Rifle Brigade. Thomas Fernyhough, the brother who compiled the account, was a noted historian and researcher, and produced a book which is not only one of the rarest contemporary memoirs of the Naopoleonic Wars, but one which illuminates the services and tribulations of a typical military family at this most crucial period in British history. 275 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The author has researched meticulously the battles between these young Waffen-SS soldiers and their British, Canadian, American and Polish adversaries. He brings a new balance to the overall picture and uniquely quantifies 'the enemy' in each action. His book dissects the British disasters at Villers-Bocage, and in Operation GOODWOOD when over 250 tanks were lost in a single operation; it describes the desperate effort by the Americans to stem the German counter-attack at Mortain, when hundreds of RAF Typhoon sorties were flown in support of the ground troops; and it details the costly advances of the Canadians and Poles as they moved to trap the Germans in the killing grounds of the Falaise Pocket. Controversially, it lays to rest forever the myth that these two remarkable Waffen-SS Divisions were annihilated in Normandy. As a former professions soldier Michael Reynolds is able to describe in q unique manner the extraordinary achievements of men who have been equated to Attila's Huns or the scourging hordes of Ghengis Khan, and he gives a clear insight into their mentality and motivation. He concludes that we may not see their like again.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Edited and presented by Robert Hardcastle. Andrew Goodman tells the story of the most astonishing partnership in the history of British musical entertainment, and unfolds it against the authentic background of the city and era in which they flourished. With much original research and many hitherto unpublished illustrations, Goodman makes an invaluable contribution to our knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Gilbert and Sullivan in this handsome volume, already a classic of its kind. He summons up a bygone era in a predominantly celebratory tone: recalling the lost grandeur of the city's great entertainment palaces, its atmospheric streetlife and nightlife, its splendour and its squalor.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 5th Impression. Hardback. Rorke's Drift. Price clipped to D/J. This is a graphic account of how British men behaved as gallant soldiers in their struggle for survival, and Zulu natives fought as brave warriors in their efforts to overpower them, during the epic defense of the storehouse and field hospital at Rorke's Drift, Natal, at the beginning of the Zulu War in January 1879. It is the result of a close comparison and examination of over thirty eye-witness accounts and letters, together with an in-depth study of official reports, various journals, and the newspapers printed at the time of the war. The narrative has been written in a way that allows the reader to experience the events with the same feelings of uncertainty about the situation as did the defenders. The work expresses the comradeship and horror of hand-to-hand combat, and highlights the fighting spirit of the British soldier, as officers and men tried to cope with the terrible events thrust upon them. For this single action alone fifteen gallantry medals were awarded. The story brings to light and clarifies several new facts that havebeen overlooked in previous books about the battle, and is accompanied by a chapter of explanatory notes and biographies that go into considerable detail about the men who played the most prominent part in the defence of Rorke's Drift. Illustrated. 168 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Hardcover (Printed Boards). Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Designed in the mid-1930s, originally to protect the coasts of the US from hostile warships, the Boeing B-17 went on to become a mainstay of Allied bombing raids against Nazi Germany. Unremitting and crushing attacks by hordes of these 'Flying Fortresses' helped bring the Third Reich to its knees and drove the German high command to consider ever more desperate antidotes to aerial intruders. More than 12,700 B-17s were delivered between 1937 and 1945. The B-17 Flying Fortress gives a complete account of the aircraft from its appearance in response to a 1934 Army Air Corps specification to its retirement. The book opens with the B-17's design and development history, which saw its armament steadily increase until it bristled with no less than 13 12.7mm (0.5in) machine guns. The B-17 Flying Fortress then identifies the units that operated this legendary bomber, and explains how missions were flown, before going on to chart the aircraft's wartime career. The final chapter details the B-17 variants, including the YB-40, a bomber converted to a 30-gun escort. Technical information is presented in three appendices and includes specifications of the B-17 and comparisons with its major rivals. The B-17 Flying Fortress is illustrated throughout with detailed artworks and photographs. 96 pages. Illustrated. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos.

Hard cover dust wrapper, 256pp, b&w photos in text, b&w plates. Very light shelf wear; a fine copy. A compelling account of pioneer submariners and their astonishing underwater contraptions. Some made perilous voyages. Others sank like stones. Craft were propelled by muscle-power or had steam engines with chimneys. Some had wheels to trundle along the seabed. Others were used as underwater aircraft carriers. Here John Swinfield traces the history of early submarines and the personalities who built and sailed them. From a plethora of madcap inventors emerged a bizarre machine that navies of the world reluctantly acquired but viewed with distaste. It matured into a weapon that would usurp the mighty battleship, which had for centuries enjoyed an unchallenged command of the oceans. In its long and perilous history the submarine became subject to fierce business, military and political shenanigans. It won eventual acceptance amidst the chaos and carnage of the First World War, in which pathfinder submariners achieved an extraordinarily high tally of five Victoria Crosses, Britain's highest military decoration. Sea Devils brims with daring characters and their unflinching determination to make hazardous underwater voyages: an immensely readable, entertaining and authoritative chronicle of low cunning, high politics, wondrous heroism and appalling tragedy.
