Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Staplehurst rail crash of June 9th, 1865 which claimed ten lives, might have passed relatively unnoticed but for the presence of a celebrity passenger among the survivors. Charles Dickens, returning from France on the ill-fated boat train from Folkestone to London, was to be profoundly affected by the experience. In a fascinating exploration of the circumstances surrounding the disaster and probing insight into Dickens' personal life, the writer's great-great-grandson, Gerald Dickens, examines his secret relationship with the actress Ellen Ternan and professional motivation in the years either side of the accident. Questions concerning the conduct of the inquest into the crash and apportioning of blame are raised that remain unresolved even today. Striking parallels are drawn with more recent disasters and the signs of wrestling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder are evident in the account of Dickens' final years, powerfully reflected in the stirring ghost story The Signalman. …

Some cover wear. Admiral Sir Gerald Louis Charles Dickens KCVO CB CMG (13 October 1879 - 19 November 1962) was a senior Royal Navy officer and the grandson of Victorian novelist Charles Dickens. Dickens was appointed to the Directing Staff of the Imperial Defence College from 1926 to 1929, and commanded HMS Repulse from 1929 to 1931. He was a Naval aide-de-camp to George V from 1931 to 1932, and was promoted to Rear Admiral in 1932. He was the Director of Naval Intelligence from 1932 to 1935, and was awarded the CB in 1934 and, following his appointment as Rear-Admiral Commanding, Reserve Fleet in 1935, he was promoted to Vice Admiral in 1936. Created KCVO in 1937, Dickens was put on the retired list in 1938 and was appointed Admiral (Retired) in 1940. He was recommissioned as a Rear Admiral in 1939 and served in World War II as a Naval Attaché at The Hague in the Netherlands from February 1940 during the German invasion. In March 1940 he was joined by Charles M. Morrell the Assistant Naval Attaché to the Netherlands & Belgium. He evacuated to Britain by destroyer, where he was assigned as Principal Liaison Officer, Allied Navies. He served as Flag Officer in Tunisia from 1943 to 1944 and as Flag Officer, Holland from September 1944 to 1945, when he retired. In 1945 he was appointed Commander of the Legion of Merit (United States) and a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur (France). Bookplate of Mendel Peterson! Mendel L. Peterson (March 8, 1918 - July 30, 2003) was an American pioneer in the field of underwater archeology and former curator at the Smithsonian Institution, becoming known as "the father of underwater archeology". His specialties included underwater exploration and numismatics. Peterson Island in Antarctica is named after him. Peterson retired in 1973 after 25 years at the Smithsonian, where he had held the positions of Associate Curator and Curator of the Divisions of Military and Naval History, 1948-1957; Head Curator of the Department of History, 1951-1957; Head Curator and Chairman of the Department of Armed Forces History, 1957-1969; and Curator of the Division of Historic Archaeology, 1969-1973. Among his accomplishments at the Smithsonian, he designed and assembled the Hall of Naval History, which opened on 19 June 1952 with speeches by Rear Adm. John B. Heffernan, United States Navy; Dr. Remington Kellogg, Director of the United States National Museum; and Dr. Alexander Wetmore, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Peterson spent 25 years diving on ancient wrecks throughout the world. Peterson is credited with developing the grid system for surveying wreck sites. In 1955, along with Edwin Link and Marion Link, he retraced the steps of Christopher Columbus in the New World using journal notes and physical descriptions of islands, ultimately reaching the conclusion that Columbus landed first in Caicos Archipelago, not on San Salvador Island, as is widely believed. Peterson is also the author of several books: including History Under the Sea: A Handbook for Underwater Exploration (1969) which is a detailed guide to exploration and identification of coins, cannon and bottles.…

ca. 30 S., reich bebildert, Ogeh. Leichte äussere Lagerspuren, noch gut erhaltenes Heft. 69 Sprache: Englisch.

Hardcover. xiii, 90 p. Errata slip (cated 1949) laid in. Occasional footnotes. Foreword by Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond. The author was also an Admiral and a Knight of the realm. It is the object of this treatist to show that the new conditions do not justify the upsetting of old principles and that the doctrine is wrong militariliy, in that it militates against the maximum concentration of all arms whether in attack or defense and that, especially in the case of maritime power. The author argues that over-reliance on strategic air power is dangerous to overall security. The advent of regional and low-intensity conflict appears to revalidate the forword thinking expounded by Admiral Dickens. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Presumed first edition/first printing. Preface dated 1946.…
