Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - More exceptional tales to thrill and chill ghost story enthusiastsAnthologies of short fiction, irrespective of their theme, are perennially popular and have many devotees. It follows that collections of ghost and horror stories have a receptive audience, combining, as they do, two compatible genres… in one intriguing package. The success of an anthology is dependent, to a large extent, on its underlying concept. For The Third Leonaur Book of Ghost and Horror Stories, Eunice Hetherington has selected not only excellent tales that will chill the blood, but authors who may not be over familiar to aficionados. Many of the authors included here did not write sufficient stories to fill a volume dedicated only to their work. Here are little-known tales from the 'golden age' of strange and weird fiction by Horacio Quiroga, William Gilbert, Vincent James O'Sullivan, Hume Nesbit and several others.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Volume two of the War with Turkey during the Great WarThis two-volume history, never before published in its own right, was written by the famous John Buchan, author of The 39 Steps, Greenmantle and others, and was originally included in a multi-volume work which covered the entire First World War.…While the text appears unchanged the large number of excellent campaign maps have been significantly enlarged and numerous photographs and illustrations which were not included in the multi-volume edition have been added. Structured chronologically, the first volume principally covers the war in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), as the allies fought their way towards Baghdad, together with the ill-fated expedition to invade the Dardanelles and strike towards the heart of the Ottoman empire in Turkey itself. This second volume chronicles a mobile war in stark contrast to the stalemate of the Western Front. These campaigns, fought on several fronts, involved the horsemen of Australia and New Zealand, the Yeomanry of the British shires and the infantry of the county regiments. They saw conflict with Senussi tribes, the Arab Revolt and bitter fighting between the Turks and Russians. This Leonaur exclusive book is a fascinating account of the last war of its kind recounted by an erudite author.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Warfare for the Age of NapoleonSeveral of Napoleon's Marshals and senior officers wrote treatises on the waging of war based on their own experiences. For modern students of the history of that period these works give fascinating insights into the battlefield and campaign tactics of some of the most… fascinating armies of comparatively modern times. Michel Ney fought during the Revolutionary Wars as a hussar and his early advances in rank were in cavalry commands. He received his marshal's baton in 1804 and fought many battles under the banner of the First Empire of the French including the fatal Russian Campaign and the Campaign of 1814 which led to the emperor's fall. Known as 'the bravest of the brave', Ney, having sworn allegiance to the restored Bourbon monarchy, then went over to his former master for the ill-fated 'Hundred Days', fighting at Quatre Bras and Waterloo. He was shot for treason in Paris in 1815. This book contains diagrams illustrating Ney's battle tactics and troop movements.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The two wheeled infantrymen of the British ArmyThose interested in the First World War on the Western Front and the adventures of the motorcycle despatch riders of the British Army may be familiar with the writing of W. H. L. Watson. The author has also left us a riveting account of tank warfare, wh…ich is available in a Leonaur edition. Watson's war was indisputably varied, and in this rare and fascinating first-hand account, which was originally serialised in 'Blackwood's Magazine', he describes his time serving with British mounted infantry who rode into battle propelled by pedal-power. Although the text ends abruptly as though there may have been an intention to continued it, we assure readers that it is complete and is here supported by images which did not appear in the original edition.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Southern Tales of Haunters and the HauntedHarriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) remains renowned as an author for her novel, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' (1852) which took as its theme the harsh lives of African-American slaves in the southern states of America during the pre-Civil War period. The publication of… that book exposed the unpalatable and monstrous injustice of slavery to an international readership which had no personal experience of it. She will always be remembered as a tireless campaigner whose work galvanised anti-slavery movements in the northern states and as a committed feminist and advocate for women's rights. In addition to her most famous book she wrote thirty others on a variety of subjects as well as the short stories collected here. Although Harriet Beecher Stowe's excursions into the fiction of the ghostly and peculiar were comparatively few in number, they are charmingly set within the world of the rural south of America in the mid-19th century and are populated by a cast of unforgettable period characters. All of those tales are gathered together in this special Leonaur edition.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Captain Slocum's South American sailing adventureAmerican mariner Joshua Slocum is best remembered for his 1895 solo circumnavigation of the world and the bestselling book, now a classic of sailing literature, that ensued, 'Sailing Alone Around the World'. That epic voyage in the sloop, 'Spray' was…not, however, Slocum's first great sailing adventure or the first of them which he recounted in a book. Following the loss of his ship off the coast of South America, Slocum salvaged enough material from the wreckage to build another craft which he and his family sailed through the Caribbean to return to the United States. This brave little 35ft boat was launched on May 13th, 1888 and named 'The Liberdade' to celebrate, on that same day, the abolition of slavery in Brazil. Slocum has rarely been surpassed as a narrator of nautical adventures and the 'Voyage of the Liberdade' is a riveting and essential companion work to 'Sailing Alone around the World'.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Congreve's own work on the effectiveness and operation of his rocketsIn 1814 British Guards officer Rees Gronow took part in the Peninsula War action known as 'The Passage of the River Adour'. He wrote of his experiences during that battle in his reminiscences; 'Three or four regiments of French inf…antry were approaching rapidly when a well-directed fire of rockets fell amongst them. The consternation of the Frenchmen was such when these hissing, serpent-like projectiles descended, that a panic ensued and they retreated'. Congreve's invention had come to the battlefield. Though many of his contemporaries were either suspicious of his innovation or contemptuous of its potential, such was the effectiveness of well managed rockets that military arsenals would include them thereafter. Congreve's book describes his early rockets, the formation, equipment and practices of 'rocket troops' and the various applications for the use of rockets in different military scenarios. This Leonaur edition contains the illustrations which originally appeared in the book plus additional illustrations of early rocket troops. This is an essential book for those interested in the development of rocket warfare and for modellers, war-gamers and re-enactors.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The First World War in the BalkansIn late 1915, an Anglo-French military expedition was dispatched to the Balkans to assist the outnumbered Serbian Army's efforts as it struggled against superior invading Austro-German-Bulgar forces. Although the First World War was mainly disputed on the Western an…d Eastern Fronts, several 'side-show' campaigns were also fought across the globe. Even among those often forgotten conflicts, the 'Salonika Campaign' is among the least chronicled. Nonetheless it was a bitter conflict undertaken among inhospitable mountains in often harsh weather. The Allied Force was eventually compelled to withdraw into Greece. This book concerns those events from the perspective of a young officer of the Tenth (Irish) Division serving with a draft of the Dorsetshire Regiment to reinforce a battalion of the Royal Munster Fusiliers that had come from the reverse at the Dardanelles. The text is drawn partly from the authors recollections and partly from his letters. This edition of the text contains photographs that were not included in the book when it was originally published.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First to fly the Atlantic-the navigator's story in his own wordsBrown was a Scottish aviator, born in Glasgow in 1886. Although he was initially commissioned in the Manchester Regiment during the First World War, he subsequently transferred to 2 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps as an observer. He was sh…ot down twice in action eventually being captured by the Germans. After the war his association with the Vickers company resulted in the proposal that he should become navigator for the pilot, John Alcock in an attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean non-stop, flying in a modified Vickers Vimy heavy bomber. In June, 1919, the pair took off from Newfoundland and, after a world first flight of 1,980 miles in 16 hours & 12 minutes, they landed safely in an Irish bog. Brown and Alcock were both knighted by King George V for their achievement. This book, written by Brown chronicles that extraordinary adventure.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A mounted rifleman's war against the Turkish ArmySeveral accounts of the famous Australian mounted infantry, the Lighthorsemen, are well known and highly regarded. Far fewer accounts exist concerning their counterparts from New Zealand, the Mounted Riflemen, who served during the same campaigns duri…ng the First World War. This account by Clutha Mackenzie, a trooper in the Wellington Mounted Rifles, notably follows 'Mac', its principal character, through the deployment of his regiment in Egypt to the landings and gruelling battles of the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign, conceived to force the narrow Dardanelles Straits to expedite the assault on the Turks in Istanbul. Mac fought in the trenches until the night battle at Chenak Bair, during which he was wounded and subsequently evacuated. This is an invaluable account of New Zealanders at war that gave birth to the legend and spirit of Anzac.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The complete supernatural fiction of a Victorian scholarThe second half of the nineteenth century was a golden age for supernatural fiction and such is the proliferation of ghost stories written in that period that it seems as if everyone who could write tried their hand at the genre. Among academic…s, the master of the literary ghost story. M. R. James is a notable example as are his friend E. G. Swain and several others. James Platt (1861-1910) was a scholar of British history specialising in the Anglo-Saxon period and was also a contributor to the original Oxford English Dictionary. Platt penned just one small collection of ghostly stories which was published in 1894. Despite his slender output his tales of the otherworldly are still held in high regard among critics and aficionados of supernatural fiction.The stories in this collection, originally published as, 'Tales of the Supernatural' are 'The Seven Sigils', 'The Hand of Glory', 'The Rabbi Lion', 'The Evil Eye', 'The Witches' Sabbath' and 'The Devil's Debt'.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The second volume of Oman's trilogyProfessor Charles Oman's exemplary credentials as an historian require no elaboration. His substantial volume of the history of Britain, embracing over 1,000 years of history and culminating in the Norman Invasion of 1066, is a masterful, authoritative work on the…subject. Mindful of the specialised interests of readers and students of history, Leonaur has divided that work into three separate books, each one of which concentrates on a principal troubled period in detail: The Roman Invasion, The Anglo-Saxon Invasion and The Danish Wars. The second volume commences with an account of the invasion of 410 A.D. before describing the settlements of the conquerors and their first wars. In 577 A.D. another advance began bringing about the fall of Ceawlin at the Battle of Deorham and Aethelfrith's victories at Dawston and Chester. Oman then discusses the power balances between Mercia, Northumbria and Wessex prior to the domination of Mercia in the 8th century.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The last campaign of an outstanding Russian Field-MarshalIn the final year of the 18th century the aspirations and fortunes of revolutionary France were in the ascendant. The brilliance of Napoleon Bonaparte as a military commander was making an enduring impression on European battlefields and influ…encing the manner in which warfare would be waged. Meanwhile, in Russia, the 69 year old Field-Marshal Suwarow was banished from court, living in quiet retirement, little suspecting that an urgent command from his nation's government was about to take him back to the forefront of the armies of Russia for one final campaign. It may have been imagined that Suwarow would fare little better than the commanders of other armies who stood in opposition to the armies of revolutionary France. However, that proved not to be the case. Suwarow presided over a brilliant campaign which, perhaps because of its singularity amid a tidal wave of French successes, has often been overlooked by students of the age. In addition to the description of that campaign, this Leonaur edition includes a biographical sketch of Suwarow and several images which were not in the original edition of the text.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The combined Spanish-American War writings of a pioneering American CorrespondentRichard Harding Davis (1864-1916) remains important as the first American War correspondent to cover the Spanish-American War, the Second Boer War and the First World War. He was indisputably talented and his writings r…anged from journalism to novels, several of which were adapted for the screen in the silent film era. This original Leonaur book combines his writings on the conflict in Cuba with his correspondence written in the same period, including 'Cuba in Wartime' and relevant extracts from 'Adventures and Letters of Richard Harding Davis' and 'Notes of War'. Davis was a friend to Theodore Roosevelt and was instrumental in the creation of the legends surrounding 'TheR ough Riders' and was made an honorary member of the regiment. The book is enhanced by the inclusion of several line illustrations by the well-known American artist Frederic Remington. This is a recommended edition for those interested in fine journalism, the war or Davis himself.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

In1804 he was appointed to a majority in the York Rangers Regiment, which was disbanded shortly after although Douglas remained on its roles. Promoted to brevet Lieutenant-Colonel in 1806, he went on to serve in the initial campaign of the Peninsular War under Sir John Moore and was present at the Battle of Corunna in January,1809 (which preceded the evacuation of the British Army from Iberia) and during the disastrous Walcheren Campaign in the Low Countries. By 1812 he was once again serving in northern Spain engaged in special missions for Wellington and taking part in several minor operations in the region. However, the Royal Military Academy considered Douglas indispensable and he again became a tutor there and the author of several works of military instruction.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Second to none--the campaigns of the Coldstream GuardsDaniel Mackinnon, the author of this book, was an officer of the Coldstream Guards. In 1833 he published a history of his regiment from its creation and through the wars against revolutionary and Napoleonic France. This Leonaur book, a stand-alon…e account derived from Mackinnon's larger work focuses on his personal experiences. The regiment served in the disastrous campaign in the Low Countries under the Duke of York and saw hard fighting during the Peninsular War under Wellington. The author describes the regiment on campaign during the battles of Talavera, Busaco, Barrosa, Fuentes d'Honor, Albuera, Salamanca and Vittoria, as well as in the Pyrenees and South of France Campaign towards the close of the war. Mackinnon is perhaps best known as one of the heroic defenders of the château-farm of Hougoumont during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. His view of these events is very personal and occasionally at odds with other accounts, though perhaps more interesting because of that. The author's text is accompanied here by the inclusion of maps and illustrations which were not present in the source book.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The ship that became an iconic symbol of the Soviet revolutionThe Potemkin was a Russian pre-dreadnought battleship built for the Imperial Navy's Black Sea Fleet. Some of its crew, but by no means the majority, rebelled against their officers in June 1905 and this act is considered to be a precursor… to the Russian Revolution of 1917. The ship's wider fame became assured with Sergei Eisenstein's classic motion picture of 1925, 'Battleship Potemkin'. Following the rebellion, the crew fled to Romania to escape inevitable reprisals and the ship was recovered, but it was ill fated as it accidentally sunk a Russian submarine in 1909. With no sense of sentimentality for what it symbolised the Potemkin was scrapped by the Soviets in 1923. This book was written by a participant in the aftermath of the rebellion which may have effected its objectivity, but it remains a relevant and interesting account.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Indian War fought during the American Civil WarThe Dakota Sioux War (also known as the Little Crow Uprising and Little Crow's War, named after the Sioux leader) raged briefly from August to December, 1862 along the Minnesota River. The native Americans had suffered the indignities and privations… of broken treaties and promises which inevitably led to violence. It is recognised that Indian Agents were guilty of violations of the law including frauds. Farms and settlements were attacked, most notably at the Redwood Agency, Milford, Leavenworth and Sacred Heart. Fort Ridgely and the township of New Ulm were assaulted and military forces suffered a significant defeat at The Battle of Birch Coulee. Attacks on stagecoach stations, forts and settlements spread into Northern Minnesota before the Sioux were eventually defeated. Hundreds of settlers and soldiers had been killed. Reprisals were brutal including the mass execution of thirty-eight Sioux warriors. This book contains two accounts of those turbulent times. The second very short account has been included in this Leonaur edition since it was considered unlikely to be republished individually.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A controversial British commander of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic warsHew Dalrymple was a British career soldier who joined the 31st Regiment of Foot in 1763. By 1793 he was a colonel of the First (later Grenadier) Guards and in command of his own battalion. During the inauspicious Flanders Camp…aign in the Duke of York he saw action in a number of battles. After several administrative positions he was appointed acting governor of Gibraltar, a post he held until 1808. The next part of Dalymple's career was the one for which he is principally remembered, although it is blighted by controversy. He was appointed Commander of the Portuguese Expedition to replace Burrard and Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington) after the victory at Vimiero, where the French force under Junot had been comprehensibly defeated. Dalrymple infamously halted Wellesley's pursuit of the French to Lisbon and subsequently became instrumental in the truce known as the Convention of Cintra, which allowed the French to be transported back to France in possession of the spoils of their invasion. The outrage caused by Dalrymple's actions became a national scandal leading to Moore's appointment to command in Iberia.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The clash of great navies in the North SeaThe Battle of Jutland was notable in the history of naval warfare for several reasons. It was not only the most significant naval engagement fought by the Royal Navy since the close of the Napoleonic Wars a century before, but was also the only great naval b…attle of the First World War. There have been many histories written about the battle and it remains perennially interesting to students of naval warfare in the modern age. Leonaur's Editors believe that this book by Bellairs is particularly erudite in its analysis of the event and is more than worth bringing back into print. On its original publication the book included many diagrams demonstrating the movements of vessels, these have been retained and enlarged. This new edition has also been significantly enhanced by the inclusion of many additional illustrations of the battle and the vessels of the protagonist fleets.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Singer, orator and revolutionaryBelgian born Anne-Josephe Théroigne (Terwagne) of Méricourt (Marcourt) was active as an agitating revolutionary agent in the Austrian held Low Countries towards the end of the eighteenth century. In 1789, dressed as a man, she was present at the National Assembly in P…aris where she engaged in promoting the French Revolution and the rights of women. In 1791 these activities resulted in her being imprisoned by the Austrians. When she returned to Paris in 1792, she was welcomed as a heroine, but went on to suffer continual criticisms of her character for alleged sexual immorality. Her alliance with the moderate Girondin political party resulted in radical Jacobin women turning against her, and in the spring of 1793 in the Jardin de Tuileries she was stripped naked, severley beaten and might well have been killed but for the intervention of Jean-Paul Marat, who would later be assassinated himself. Théroigne went on to suffer painful headaches and developed mental disorders. Her behaviour became progressively more erratic and in 1794 she was certified insane and committed to an asylum where she remained until her death in 1817, aged 54 years.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The military career of a great Prussian commander during the Napoleonic WarsGebhard Leberecht von Blücher was born in Rostock in 1742 and began his military career in 1758 as a hussar in the Swedish Army. He was captured by the Prussians in 1760 and joined the Prussian Army but was forced to resign…for insubordination. A farmer until 1786, he returned to the army rising in rank to lieutenant-general in 1801. Today, Blücher is remembered for his cooperation with the Duke of Wellington during 'The Hundred Days' campaign in 1815, which resulted in the allied victory at Waterloo and the final downfall of Napoleon, who never had a more implacable foe than Blücher. He pressed on with unrelenting energy despite his advancing years, through many campaigns and battles and undaunted in his resolution despite suffering numerous military setbacks. The turn of the tide came in 1813 at Leipzig, 'The Battle of the Nations', where at last an army under his command prevailed. After the campaign of 1814 in North-eastern France, Blücher favoured blowing up the Jena Bridge to punish Paris for the sufferings of his homeland. The First Empire of the French had fallen, but the following year Field-Marshal Blücher was again at hand to administer the coup de grace in Belgium. He died in 1819 aged 76 years.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The wartime adventures of two of the first Red Cross nursesEmma Pearson was born in Norfolk in 1828 and was the daughter of a Royal Navy Captain. Her partner Louisa McLaughlin was born 1836, the daughter of a Shropshire clergyman. Louisa trained as a nurse with Sister Dora who assisted the poor indu…strial workers of the English Midlands. Both Louisa and Emma began working for the National Health Society when it was created in 1869, assisting the poor of London under the management of Elizabeth Blackwell, Europe's first modern female doctor. At the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, both women went to France at the behest of the organisation which became known as the Red Cross.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The guns and gunners of the Honourable East India CompanyUntil the creation of 'The Raj', following the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the British held India with three native armies, supported by the troops of the British regular army, representing the presidencies of Madras, Bombay and the subject of this… book, Bengal. Although all three presidencies could field troops with all the arms of the period, none of them possessed the élan of the Bengal Artillery. Indeed, the 'Red Men' of the Bengal Horse Artillery were a corps d'elite with few equals in military excellence or style. This book considers the history of both the Bengal Field and Horse Artillery from their inception in 1749, through the wars of the early nineteenth sentry as the British fought to claim India to the Anglo-Sikh Wars which concluded in 1849. Captain Buckle's book has long been considered the definitive work on its subject and covers formation, development, equipment and the campaigns of the Bengal Artillery in detail.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Warfare for the Age of NapoleonSeveral of Napoleon's Marshals and senior officers wrote treatises on the waging of war based on their own experiences. For modern students of the history of that period these works give fascinating insights into the battlefield and campaign tactics of some of the most…fascinating armies of comparatively modern times. Michel Ney fought during the Revolutionary Wars as a hussar and his early advances in rank were in cavalry commands. He received his marshal's baton in 1804 and fought many battles under the banner of the First Empire of the French including the fatal Russian Campaign and the Campaign of 1814 which led to the emperor's fall. Known as 'the bravest of the brave', Ney, having sworn allegiance to the restored Bourbon monarchy, then went over to his former master for the ill-fated 'Hundred Days', fighting at Quatre Bras and Waterloo. He was shot for treason in Paris in 1815. This book contains diagrams illustrating Ney's battle tactics and troop movements.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket. 104 pp. Englisch.
