A child at arms - Patrick Davis

Synopsis
Patrick Davis was posted as a novice 'hostilities only' officer to a veteran Gurkha battalion that 'had fought for about as long as troops can fight and remain a recoverable unit' during the desperate campaigns in Burma, as Slim and his "Forgotten Army" demonstrated to the world the myth of Japanese invincibility, driving the enemy before them in streaming defeat. This is the narrative of a young officer's fears and triumphs, of the discomforts and tragedies attendant on battle, the terrors and confusion in the midst of action against a fanatically tenacious enemy. There have been few better accounts of the relationship between British officer and Gurkha volunteer, and of the insidious drain on stamina and courage that all men face during prolonged exposure to battle. This is a welcome reissue of one of the finest pieces of writing to emerge from World War II.
A code to keep - Erest C Brace
Hardback
Synopsis
Former marine pilot Ernest C. Brace was employed as a U.S. contract pilot for USAID, flying in Laos supporting Vietnam war efforts, when his airstrip was overrun by enemy forces in May of 1965 and he was taken captive.
In his initial 3 years of captivity in Laos, Brace would be held alternately by Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese troops. Suffering inhuman conditions and being caged like an animal, he would end up attempting 3 daring escapes earning him brutal beatings and subsequent injuries that would affect him the rest of his life.
Upon being transferred to North Vietnam, Ernest Brace would continue his last four and a half years of imprisonment in the Hanoi Hilton, Plantation, and Briar Patch prison compounds.

A drop too many - John Frost
Softback
No one who has read of Arnhem can have failed to have been inspired by gallantry of the 2nd Parachute Regiment, which held the north end of the key road bridge over the Rhine not for 24 hours for which it was equipped, but for 3 days and 4 nights. Commanded by the then Lt-Col Frost, they beat off repeated armoured and infantry assaults by far greater numbers, until forced out of the ruined and burning positions by losses, lack of ammunition, and the failure of the whole Arnhem operation. Their sacrifice stands as one of the most heroic defences of all time. General Frost's story is, in effect, that of the battalion. His tale starts with the Iraq Levies and goes on the major airborne operations in which he took part - Bruneval, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, Arnhem - and continues with his experiences as a prisoner and the reconstruction of the battalion after the German surrender. Though written with modesty and humour, the book is shot through with the fire and determination of the fighting solider, and throws important new light on many controversies, not only those of Arnhem. This book is a major contribution to the literature of the last war.

Shocking, fascinating and frightening by turns, it also reveals Razor Smith to be a remarkably talented writer.

A Hitler youth - Henry Metelmann
Hardback
This work is an autobiography of a railway worker's son who joined the Hitler Youth at the age of 12 and became involved in the Nazi movement which was passionately opposed by his parents - the conflict between his Nazism and his father's socialism is a central theme. Of interest not only to the general reader, it will of use to historians, political scientists, sociologists and others interested in this unique period in German history. Beginning in the pre-Nazi period, it covers all aspects of life in Hamburg's strong socialist working class community: street play, visits to the countryside, family gatherings and school life as well as the scout movement which was eventually to become the Hitler Youth. This settled society was disrupted by the arrival of the Nazis who used violence, propaganda and skillfully orchestrated gatherings and marches to achieve total political dominance. The author gives an account of the beating and intimidation of individual opponents of the Nazi regime - trade unionists and others - and the climate of fear and violence which gradually transformed his family, friends and local community. A picture of the rise of Hitler and the terrible consequences that followed are given through this detailed and sometimes painfully honest personal account.

As I rose to my knees behind the cover of a giant tree, I brought up the barrel of my FAL assault rifle, flicked the weapon to automatic, and took aim at the truck full of troops. There were all staring down the road ahead. One of them was leaning with his left arm over the edge of the truck, a rifle clutched in his right hand. Over the haze from the muzzle blast, I saw men bouncing and jumping. Another burst straight into them. Click - the mag was empty...Karl Penta is a tough, wiry Liverpudlian with a Scouser's natural dark humour. He has served in many of the world's horspots, Lebanon, Sri Lanka and Kosovo. It was whilst in Sri Lanka that he saw an advert: MEN WANTED. Ex-military personnel to work abroad. Underneath was an Amsterdam phone number. Soon, Karl found himself in Surinam. His brief: to bring down the government. Within weeks, the government was on its knees. The twists and turns of this amazing operation are still going on, but Karl feels it is now safe to tell the whole, incredible story. This is it.

A rumor of war - Philip Caputo
Softback
In March 1965, Marine Lieutnant Philip J. Caputo landed in Danang with the first ground combat unit committed to gith in Vietnam. Sixteen months later, having served on the line in one of modern history's ugliest wars, he returned home - physically whole, emotionally wasted, his youthful idealism shattered. A decade later, Caputo would write in A Rumor of War, 'This is simply a story about war, about the things men do in war and the things war does to them'. It is far more then that. It is, a Theodore Solotaroff wrote in the New York Times Book Review, 'the troubled conscience of America speaking passionately, truthfully, finally'. It is the book that shattered America's deliberate indifference to the fact of the men it sent to fight in the jungles of Vietnam, and in the years since it was first published it has become a basic text on that war. But in the literature of war that stretches back to Homer, it has also taken its place as an esteemed classic to rank alongside All Quiet on the Western Front and The Naked and the Dead.

In 1982 Private Ken Lukowiak served with 2 Para in the Falklands. He was away from home for little more than eight weeks, yet the experience of war was to change his life for ever. Ten years passed before he was able to write about this brief period in his life. In those ten years he was brought face to face with the legacy of his Parachute Regiment training and with the knowledge that he had seen many men die - some of whom he himself had killed. From the voyage 'down South' on the MV Norland, from Goose Green to Fitzroy and the anti-climactic journey home Lukowiak illustrates the madness and black comedy of the soldier's world. He tells his painfully honest story in spare and brutal language and is both profound and often profoundly shocking.

This is the well-written and entertaining story of Frank Tarns' career spanning nearly thirty years in the RAF from 1930 onwards, beginning as a sixteen-year old apprentice in Lord Trenchard's Aircraft Apprentice Scheme - one of the so-called "Trenchard Brats". He trained as a pilot and flew with Coastal Command before the war. He became a POW after being shot down over Brest in 1941,
and his vivid, taut prose takes the reader inside the infamous Stalag Luft 1 and Stalag Luft 3. He plays a part in and is a witness to numerous daring escapes and escape attempts, including the Wooden Horse Escape and the Great Escape. After the war he returns to Coastal Command before being posted to Advanced Air Headquarters Kuala Lumpur, providing air support to the army during the
Malayan Emergency. He describes dangerous sorties to remote jungle airstrips, taken on in a spirit of adventure rather than a sense of duty, and for which he is mentioned in dispatches and awarded the OBE. Throughout his rich and varied career Tams remains proud to be one of the "Brats", to whom this story is dedicated.

Armed action - James Newton
Hardback
I couldn't see the tank. I couldn't see it...Someone was screaming over the radio. "Scream all you want, I still can't see it," I said to my pilot. The next explosion was so close it lifted my chest armour off my body in the shock wave. The noise brought me back to my awful reality. I looked out of the sight to see the shattered cockpit glass. The next one would be it and we knew it.' Lieutenant Commander James Newton survived and was awarded the Distingushed Flying Cross for his bravery. In a career that has seen him in action in Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone Northern Ireland and most recently Iraq, Newton is no stranger to being shot at. He has flown all the aircraft the Navy has and even ones it doesn't. Thrilling, fast-paced and an adrenaline-fuelled journey through a pilot's life, "Armed Action" is a fascinating insight into life in the air.

Arnhem - Major-General Urquhart
Softback
Major-General Urquhart commanded the 1st British Airborne Division in Operation Market Garden, the greatest airbone assault of World War II, the struggle to capture Arnhem and win control of the bridge across the lower Rhine. The story of the 1st Airborne Division at Arnhem involved not only an Airborne Corps of three Divisions but also the bulk of the British 2nd Army in Europe. Gen. Urquhart has told the story of those fateful nine days clearly, frankly and, despite the terrible circumstances, not without humour. It ranks as an important work, describing an operation which opened with such high hopes and left its name forever as a feat of the highest endurance and valour.

Arnhem lift - Anonymous

Arnhem lift - Louis Hagen
Hardback
This is an account of airborne action at Arnhem. The airborne troops who landed at Arnhem in September 1944 suffered appalling casualties in the course of the nine-day battle. Of some 10,000 men who went into action, 1400 were killed and more than 6000 - about a third of them wounded - were captured. British accounts have almost invariably praised the Germans' humane treatment of these prisoners, but had the young Sergeant "Lewis Haig" of the elite Glider Pilot Regiment been captured, his fate would have been different, for "Haig" (Louis Hagen) was of Jewish extraction. He was one of the few who got back.

Arnhem spearhead - James Sims
Hardback
James Sims was only nineteen and had never seen action, when on September 17, 1944, as part of the vanguard of the highly trained 1st British Airborne Division he was dropped 64 miles behind the German lines outside an obscure Dutch toen called Arnhem. With modesty and genuine compassion Sims here documents the battle for the huge steel bridge which he and his unit, the 2nd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, held for three days and four nights before they were finally overwhelmed by the German infantry. A vivid, most moving personal account.

Assault from within - Georg Von Konrat
Hardback, South African import - VERY RARE
Six hundred young germans, intensively trained to speak, think, eat sleep and dream as Russians, were infiltrated behind the enemy lines to cause destruction and chaos. Time and again they were accepted as genuine Russians, and were able to detroy communication centres, sabotage arms dumps, and misdirect military traffic away from the front line. Georg von Konrat survived it all, from the brutal, ruthless processes of his initial training - which had started even before war was declared - to the savage fighting, often against enormous odds, as soon as the Russians realised what was happening and turned their guns against the infitators.

Assault on LH181 - Barry Davies
Softback
In October 1977 the German Chancellor, Helmut Schmidt, asked the British Government to help mount a joint rescue mission for a hijacked Lufthansa flight. The hijack lasted six days, during which the plane was flown from its departure airport in Aden, where the pilot was murdered, to Mogadishu. Barry Davies was one of the two SAS men seconded to the German GSG9 squad to help trace the plane in the Middle East. Diplomatic efforts and the Pope's offer to take the place of the hostages all failed to end the crisis, and the showdown came when the remaining hostages were freed and three of the four terrorists shot dead. This is Davies's account of the background work and planning that went into the operation.
