The Autobiography of the British Soldier | |||
| From Agincourt to Basra, in His Own Words | War & Militaria | |||
| John Lewis-Stempel | ||||
| Headline 2007 486 pages | ||||
| Hardback 0755315812 | ||||
| Published Price £20.00 | Our Price £7.99 | |||
| The British soldier has been the winner of impossible victories, spearhead of imperialism, cannon fodder for the Western Front, and thin khaki line against Hitler... wherever, whenever and against all odds, he has always done his duty. Drawing on some 200 first-hand accounts, from a description of Agincourt by a priest with Henry V's forces, to emails from Helman province in Afghanistan, 2006, this anthology presents a self-portrait of the British soldier as he fought - and continues to fight - Britain's wars. | ||||

Q Ships, Commerce Raiders and Convoys | |||
| War & Militaria | ||||
| Patrick Stearns | ||||
| Spellmount 2004 276 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 1873376847 | ||||
| Published Price £25.00 | Our Price £8.99 | |||
| In 1917 and again in 1943, German U-boats, battleships and pocket-battleships caused huge losses to our shipping. How the Navy met these threats, by the use of mystery Q ships and with commerce raiders and the convoy system, is examined in this history. Drawing on wide-ranging research and personal experience, Commander Stearns explains how, with ingenuity and organization, the Navy was able to 'mystify, mislead and surprise' the enemy and turn the hunters into the hunted. | ||||

Norfolk in the Second World War | |||
| War & Militaria | ||||
| Frank Meeres | ||||
| Phillimore 2006 214 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 1860773893 | ||||
| Published Price £17.99 | Our Price £6.99 | |||
| Norfolk's proximity to the Continent ensured that it was literally a 'front-line' county during the Second World War, with an ever-present threat of invasion and air attack. Frank Meeres's highly readable account, richly illustrated with contemporary photographs, documents the contribution made by Norfolk people in the armed forces and on the home front, as well as showing how daily life was deeply affected by war-time conditions and the unaccustomed presence of evacuees and US Air Force personnel. | ||||

The Green Hell | |||
| A Concise History of the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay 1932-35 | War & Militaria | |||
| Adrian J English | ||||
| Spellmount 2007 224 pages | ||||
| Paperback Illustrated 1862274452 | ||||
| Published Price £14.99 | Our Price £6.99 | |||
| By attacking Bolivia in 1933, Paraguay was the first country in the League of Nations to declare war on another member state. The Chaco War was fought to establish ownership of the disputed Gran Chaco region; it involved 400,000 combatants, saw widespread bombing and cost the equivalent of £500 million. This examination of a little-known conflict reveals how the poorly equipped Paraguayans overcame Bolivia's European-style army with tactics that would be employed in subsequent 20th century wars. | ||||
