Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This book considers the personality of Charles and the effect of his decisions as ruler. Beginning with Charles as a prince, Durston goes on to assess the monarch's role in the outbreak of war and the crisis of the 1640s. Centring on the degree of personal responsibility Charles should bear for the events of his reign, the author considers: * contemporary and modern portrayals of Charles' reign * the King's military leadership * the context and prelude to his execution * his status as a martyr king in the 1650s and beyond.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. One of our most eminent historians presents a powerful look at the buildup to and aftermath of one of the most decisive moments of World War II Kristallnacht not only for the Jewish population suddenly identified as a group to be destroyed, but also in terms of the international response it inspired and its larger implications. In Kristallnacht, Martin Gilbert seamlessly combines a moving account of the suffering of the victims of the Nazi regime with a sophisticated analysis of the gradual process which made the horrors of the Third Reich possible. Broadening his canvas, Gilbert also powerfully depicts how the rest of the world failed Europes increasingly desperate Jewish population: in the aftermath to Kristallnacht almost every country was asked to help; most would not do so, despite the transport of a staggering 10,000 German Jewish children to Britain. This international indifference had direct implications for future German policy, while the events of Kristallnacht went on to radically influence the attitudes of governments and people outside Germany towards Nazism.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Extraordinarily evocative. A fantastic book.' - Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club London, May 1945. Freya Wyley, twenty, meets Nancy Holdaway, eighteen, amid the wild celebrations of VE Day, the prelude to a devoted and competitive friendship that will endure on and off for the next two decades. Freya, wilful, ambitious, outspoken, pursues a career in newspapers which the chauvinism of Fleet Street and her own impatience conspire to thwart, while Nancy, gentler, less self-confident, struggles to get her first novel published. Both friends become entangled at university with Robert Cosway, a charismatic young man whose own ambition will have a momentous bearing on their lives. Flitting from war-haunted Oxford to the bright new shallows of the 1960s, Freya plots the unpredictable course of a womans life and loves against a backdrop of Soho pornographers, theatrical peacocks, willowy models, priapic painters, homophobic blackmailers, political careerists. Beneath the relentless thrum of changing times and a city being reshaped, we glimpse the eternal: the battles fought by women in pursuit of independence, the intimate mysteries of the human heart, and the search for love. Stretching from the Nuremberg war trials to the advent of the TV celebrity, from innocence abroad to bitter experience at home, Freya presents the portrait of an extraordinary woman taking arms against a sea of political and personal tumult.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. England under Elizabeth I. A time of war and plague, politics and rebellion, personal heroism and religious fanaticism. When if you were born poor you stayed poor, and the thumbscrews and the rack could be the grim prelude to the executioner's block. But it was also an age that encouraged literary genius, global exploration, and timeless beauty. When the lowly privateer Francis Drake circumnavigated the globe with no reliable navigational instruments and only a drunken, mutinous crew for company. When the Queen's favourite, the wealthy and handsome Robert Dudley, was widely suspected of having killed his wife. And when only the machinations of ruthless intriguers like William Cecil and Francis Walsingham prevented Elizabeth's kingdom from descending into anarchy and political chaos. The Elizabethans is a panoramic, exhilarating depiction of an intensely colourful period by master-historian, A N Wilson. This is what life under Elizabeth I was really like. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. John Laband's classic work is the first history of the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 to examine in full the complexities of the Zulu response to the British invasion of their kingdom. He does more than substitute a Zulu perspective of the campaign for the British one. He gives a fascinating insight into the social, political and military traditions of the Zulus which made it so difficult for them to withstand the invaders. His compelling account is based on extensive archival research, and is written in vivid detail. He covers the prelude to the war, gives graphic accounts of the sequence of battles from Isandlwana to Ulundi that determined its outcome, and assesses the settlement that ended the war. He shows how the Zulus were unable to adapt their military methods to counter the British challenge. Mounting military disaster, diplomatic stalemate and economic disruption eventually eroded their king's authority and encouraged his leading subjects to abandon his cause and come to terms with the British. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

very good dust-jacket, cover price $25.95, weak front hinge neatly reglued, otherwise very good yellow-brown and white hardcover. BROMBERT, VICTOR H. Trains of thought: memories of a stateless youth. New York: Norton, 2002, stated First Edition and 1st printing number line, 334pp., . In this poetic autobiography by one of America's most renowned literary scholars. Brombert recaptures the story of his youth in a Proustian reverie, recalling, with a rare combination of humor and tenderness, his childhood in 1930s Paris, his family's escape to America during the Vichy regime, his experiences in the U.S. Army from the invasion of Normandy to the occupation of Berlin, and his discovery of his scholarly vocation. Using the train as a metaphor to describe his personal journey, Brombert recalls his boyhood enchantment with railway travel. With time, he became acutely aware of the grimmer aspects of life around him, and the mounting cries of "dirty Jew" that grew from a whisper into a thundering din as the decade drew to a close. The invasion of May 1940 dispelled the optimistic belief that the horrors that had descended on Germany could never happen to them. The family was forced to flee on a banana freighter to America. Discovering the excitement of New York, Brombert nonetheless returned to France in an American uniform once the United States entered the war. - CONTENTS: Prologue: Trains and Stations -- The 16th Arrondissement -- They Called Him Jascha -- Erotic Fantasies -- Tenderness Without Words -- Initiations The Lycee Janson and Marienbad -- The 1930s and the Exposition Internationale -- Prelude to War -- L'Exode -- L'Exode -- Vichy in Nice -- Navemar The Floating Camp -- To the Banks of the Susquehanna -- Omaha Beach and Beyond -- The Way to Camp Ritchie -- Beyond the Beaches of Normandy -- From the Hurtgen Forest to Berlin -- Epilogue: Other Trains, Other Stations. 9780393051155 ISBN 0393051153.

Good-plus in dust-wrapper with some spotting. 5s. net. "This chronicle of village life was mainly written during the two months of comparative calm which were destined to be the sinister prelude to total war. Moreover, the calm was emphasized, at least in the countryside, by coincidence with one of the bitterest spells of winter within living memory. For a few weeks Larkfield (as I have called the village) experienced something of that self-sufficiency which was the basis of English rural life in the days before Enclosure. And now, as I write this introductory note, every vestige of that calm has been shattered. Larkfield watches the approach of happenings which have no equal in terror or frightfulness. And meanwhile spring unfolds with a completeness only matched by the completeness of the winter that preceded it: the English countryside puts forth her loveliest and best to front the enemy, .Already the Larkfield I have tried to picture in these pages wears the aspect of a dream .but it is a dream that must be kept before our waking eyes when the horrors that sought to blind us are past." C. Henry Warren, from the Foreword. Interesting and readable. .

Very good in slightly torn and spine-faded dust-wrapper. The autobiography Lt. Col. Philip Brand Fielden, 1919-1998. "His youth was a prelude to the Second World War, which took him as a troop leader in an armoured car regiment to the Western Desert of Egypt. Here his experiences included taking part in the breakthrough of the enemy lines at El Alamein, reported in the national press as 'the greatest raid of them all'. Recruited to General Sir Miles Dempsey's banner, he saw the invasion of North-West Europe and later accompanied the General to South-East Asia and the Middle East. Re-joining The Royals in BAOR he took his squadron to Berlin, followed in 1951 by a stint in the Suez Canal Zone. When with the Territorial Army in London, he twice rode his own horse to win the Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown Park. After commanding The Royals in Germany, Aden and Malaya, he retired from the army in 1961 and was for ten years employed by the Jockey Club." In his later years, Fielden devoted much time to travel and exploration with his wife, Caroline. On their travels they managed to fish in many of the world's finest angling locations and one chapter of the book covers their angling experiences in the UK and Northern Europe, North and South America, South Africa and South-East Asia. .

Zustand: new. Pages: 24 Language: Russian, English. Leonid Lyubovsky (*1937) was born in the small Russian town of Kamenka where he grew up during the Second World War. After graduating from the Kazan State Conservatory, he assumed a post there in the Music Composition Department. The acceptance of this academic position in no way hindered Lyubovsky's intense creative output. Leonid Lyubovsky is the composer who feels the modern age, its vigorous and dynamic pulse and rush of life. His music is penetrated with speculations and philosophical profundity. The composer's current catalog of works includes six symphonies, three operas, three ballets, a symphonic oratorio, several vocal pieces and a large list of instrumental chamber music. Lyubovsky describes his Brass Quintet as in a certain sense a "suite of contrasts". The opening movement is a prelude that explores the individual instruments' soloistic possibilities. The short fiery second movement is quickly succeeded by what the composer regards as "the dramatic nucleus of the cycle; a movement not without a dark tragic undercurrent". The final movement turns to a playful mood which Lyubovsky views as at once both emotional and humorous. From the tour booklet of the Annapolis Brass Quintet, USA Contents: I. RECITATIVO II.

Zustand: new. Pages: 64 Language: Russian, English. The composer German Grigoriyevich Okunev (19311973) is the distinguished representative of the Russian composition school during the second half of the 20ieth century. Okunev was born in Leningrad and overcame the Blockade. Being a child he was awarded the medal "For the Defence of Leningrad" for his participation in the concerts on the Baltic navy ships and for the cycle of songs about the Great Patriotic War. Having graduated from the piano and composition faculties of the Leningrad Conservatoire, he studied at Dmitri Shostakovich until 1964. The same year Okunev started his pedagogical activity at the conservatoire as the teacher of composition. In 1972 he became the member of the Leningrad Composers' Union directorate. Numerous wonderful works belong to German Okunev, such as two symphonies, the ballets "Greatcoat" and "Kuyruchuk" (together with K. Moldobasanov), orchestral suite "At the Festive Neva", piano cycle "The North's Echoes", "Rainbow", piano pieces for children, 12 preludes for piano, Concerto for piano with chamber orchestra, vocal cycle to the verses by Marina Tsvetayeva, Concerto for hautboy and chamber orchestra, Quintet for the winds "Leningrad Engravings" and other chamber-instrumental ensembles, Poem for violin and piano, "Metamorphoses" for four trombones, "Choruses" a cappella. Among the executants there were Mariya Karandashova, Mikhail Vaiman, Lubov' Bruk, Mark Taimanov, Marina Grinberg, Hanasi Chinakayev, Anatoly Lyubimov, Vitaly Buyanovsky, Victor Venglovsky. The suite "On the Festive Neva" for full symphony orchestra was created in 1965. The author's version for two pianos and percussions (1966) was firstly performed on October 30, 1966 in the Moscow Maly (Small) Conservatoire Hall. Galina and Yulia Turkins represented it that time, Alla Mamyko played percussion. Subsequently the suite was not once executed by well-known piano duets and percussionists (L. Bruk, M. Taimanov, O. Romanov; N. Novik, R. Kharadzhanyan, E. Akhunov; O. Isayeva, O. Malov, V. Zhavnerchik). The composition was twice recorded. Garish imaginative sphere, harmonious novelty, timbre discoveries make for the festive mood thus riding high at concert stages. 9790660040409.

Zustand: new. Pages: 68 Language: Russian, English. This is the first publication of the Sonata for French horn and piano by Vsevolod Petrovich Zaderatsky, which presents a worthy addition to the horn repertoire. The 65-year delay of this publication is connected to the peculiar circumstances of the composer's life. His fate and the fate of his musical legacy are highly unordinary even in the context of the events of the first half of the 20th century. During his lifetime he was denied the right to live in the major cities of the Soviet Union or to have his music performed or published. Publications about his music were also forbidden. Only more than 25 years after his death in 1953 his musical scores had begun to be published, and the Sonata for French horn and piano had to wait a long time after that, following its turn after the publications of numerous piano and vocal works. Vsevolod Petrovich Zaderatsky was born in 1891 in Rovno into a family of a railroad engineer. In 1910 he enrolled into the Law Department of the Moscow University and into the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied composition with Sergei Taneyev and Mikhail Ippolitov-lvanov and piano with Genrikh Pakhulsky and Karl Kipp. In 1915-1916 he was the music teacher of Tsarevich Alexei, the son of Tsar Nicholas II, which became a reason for his persecution in the Soviet times. Being an officer in the Russian Army during World War I, after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 Zaderatsky joined the White Army led by General Denikin, having traversed its entire tortuous path. Having survived miraculously the tragic outcome of the Russian Civil War, Zaderatsky was designated to live in Ryazan, where he was arrested in 1922 and in 1926, as a result of which all of his previous musical compositions were destroyed. He was released from imprisonment in 1928, and presently only the compositions written between 1928 and 1952 are available to us. Permission to live in Moscow had been granted to him in 1929-1934. Subsequently he lived in Yaroslavl, Krasnodar, Zhitomir and, finally, Lvov, where he had spent the final five years of his life. In 1937 Zaderatsky was arrested once again and spent three years at one of the GULAG labor camps at the Kolyma. The composer's musical legacy includes operas, symphonies, works for large and small chamber ensembles, piano and vocal music. Piano music takes up a leading position in his music and is represented by various genres. The most remarkable and unprecedented occurrence in world practice were the 24 Preludes and Fugues for piano composed by him in 1937-1938 in labor camp conditions. They were written in pencil on telegraph sheets and scraps of paper, which provides a unique testimony of inner resistance to adverse life circumstances. 9790352205505.

Buch
Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 1849, Abraham Lincoln seems condemned to political isolation and defeat. His Whig Party is broken in the 1852 election, and disintegrates. His perennial rival, Stephen Douglas, forges an alliance with the Southern senators and Secretary of War Jefferson Davis. Violent struggle breaks out on the plains of Kansas, a prelude to the Civil War. Lincoln rises to the occasion. Only he can take on Douglas in Illinois, and he finally delivers the dramatic speech that leaves observers stunned. In 1855, he makes a race for the Senate, which he loses when he throws his support to a rival to prevent the election of a proslavery candidate. Now, in Wrestling With His Angel, Sidney Blumenthal explains how Lincoln and his friends operate behind the scenes to destroy the anti-immigrant party in Illinois to clear the way for a new Republican Party. Lincoln takes command and writes its first platform and vaults onto the national stage as the leader of a party that will launch him to the presidency. The Washington Monthly hailed Blumenthal's Volume I as, splendid.no one can come away from reading A Self-Made Man without eagerly anticipating the ensuing volumes. Now, in one of the greatest American success stories, Wrestling With His Angel brings Lincoln from the wilderness to the peak of his career as he takes control of the nation's most profound spiritual crisis-slavery-and enters the battle for the nation's soul. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
