Description:
London: Robert Hale Ltd, 1983. First edition. Very Good +/very good +. Interest in the Battle of Britain - that most critical moment in the country's recent history - never wanes. Day by day through the months from June to September 1940, the author followss the experience of the famous No. 11 Group, Fighter Command, which bore the brunt of the savage Nazi attacks that were the preliminary to the planned invasion. The Group's motto, 'tutela cordis' - defend the heart - could not have been more appropriate for their vital and challenging role as protectors of Britain's capital. This book shows the Battle from grass roots level, from the point of view of the unglamorous 'ground' jobs as well as the experience of the pilots in the air. But the facts are no less fascinating for that - nor are the achievements of the crews concerned diminished. This absorbing book, based largely on private accounts recorded at the time, bring history alive, scotches many of the legends which have grown up around the…

London, 1974. Later printing. Paperback. Very Good. The effort to make the actions of the revolutionaries of 1789 comprehensible and to show that 'the Revolution was a foregone conclusion' forces de Tocqueville to paint a huge detailed portrait of the r�gime that was attacked. The depiction is of a society in decay. With characteristic irony he shows that the monarchy fell,not because it was backward, but because it was one of the most modern in Europe.

Description:
Abingdon: Purnell Book Services Ltd, 1977. Book Club. Very Good +/very good +. Although 18 other WWI pilots were awarded VCs, none had captured the public imagination so much as Albert Ball. At a time when morale was low, when the war and its casualties seemed never-ending, Ball became a symbol of hope; his individuality and his insistence on fighting alone set him apart from other successful fighter pilots. His unique method of fighting alone, his invincible courage, and his utter determination made him a legend not only in Britain but also amongst his enemies, to whom the sight of his lone Nieuport Scout brought fear. He was killed in circumstances still not completely resolved 60 years ago on May 7th, 1917 aged only 20, having risen from obscurity to the top rank of contemporary fighter pilots in only 15 months. In that period he had been awarded the MC, DSO and two bars, Russian Order of St George, French Legion d'Honneur, and was officially credited with at least 44 victories. Immediately…

Description:
London: Stevens & Sons Ltd, 1960. First edition. Very Good +/very good +. This is the first comprehensive account of armoured forces - the way they have evolved, the vehicles they use, and how they fight. The author presents a wealth of fascinating detail on every aspect of his subject. Here are the bizarre forerunners of the modern armoured vehicle - F.R. Simms' armed quadricycle of the last century, the steam tractor, Little Willie, and the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. And here above all is the tank, the most romantic and colourful of all armoured vehicles. The author shows how its logical evolution was checked at times by military conservatism, and how the attitude towards it could change capriciously and without justification. 'Armour' is the ideal book for the student of military history and the layman alike. It will appeal in particular to all those who have ever fought with armoured vehicles.
