Paperback. Zustand: New. At sixty-three, Anne Hough stepped aboard a Clipper Race yacht and into an experience that would test her as never before. This is a vivid account of fortitude, resilience, and adventure, following Anne and her crew as they race around the world's great oceans in often treacherous conditions.From the fanfare of departure under Tower Bridge to the isolation of the Southern Ocean, from hurricanes and doldrums to record-breaking ocean sprints, the story captures life on a racing yacht pushed relentlessly to its limits. Crew blogs woven throughout give intimate, personal insight.Seen through the eyes of both sailor and crew, this is not just a chronicle of a race, but of human endurance: the strain of teamwork, the pull of home, and the beauty of the natural world when viewed from a boat surfing down giant waves at over twenty knots.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Tony Hough's war started with ski training in the Alps in early 1940 preparing for winter warfare in Finland. Nothing came of that. Later that year, now an officer with 9th Battalion The Rifle Brigade, he sailed for North Africa. In March 1941, his under-gunned Battalion suffered a catastrophic baptism of fire in Libya from 15,000 troops and 500 tanks of Rommel's Afrika Korps.For the next 18 months Hough and his Battalion experienced brutal conflict against a formidable enemy. Selected for David Stirling's elite 1 Special Air Service (SAS), he was captured in December 1942 while raiding behind enemy lines.Sent to an Italian POW camp he suffered the deprivations of captivity. After the September 1943 Italian armistice, he escaped and, after an arduous three month ordeal, he reached Allied lines thanks to the help of brave locals. He went on to fight in North West Europe before becoming a mayor in occupied Germany.Beautifully and modestly written, Tony's many and varied experiences make for a classic war memoir. It is heartening that even after 75 years, accounts such as this are still appearing.…
