Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Reprint. Hardback. First Edition. Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. Sharon Osbourne has lived - in her own words - 'fifty lives in fifty years'. As the daughter of nororious tock manager Don Arden, Sharon's childhood was a chaotic mix of glamour and violencel villains and diamonds; one week touring with Little Richard and Jayne Mansfield, the next having tea with Charlie kray. And whether they Ardens were living in Brixton or Mayfair, the baliffs were never far from the door. In her late twenties, after years of fierce loyalty to her ruthless father, Sharon finally faced up to his devastating betrayals - but her painful decision to break with her family created its own havoc, both emotionally and financially. IN rock star Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon found her soul mate, turning his career around and becoming a legeandary manager and rock promoter in her own right. Yet Ozzy's drug - and drink-fuelled excesses - which culminated in an attempt to strangle her - made their marriage a white-knuckle ride from the start; only her devotion to their three children gave her the will to survive. From the highs of The Osbournes and The X-Factor to the lows of Ozzy's near-fatal quad-bike accident and her own colon cancer, Sharon's tenacity, honesty and humour have triumphed again and again.

Hardback First Edition Surviving The Sword: Prisoners of the Japanese 1942-45 Many of the prisoners held by the Japanese during the WWII were so scarred by their experiences that they could not discuss them even with their families. They believed that their brutal treatment was, literally, incomprehensible. But some prisoners were determined that posterity should know how they were starved and beaten, marched almost to death or transported on hellships , used as slave labour - most notoriously on the Burma-Thailand railway - and how thousands died from tropical diseases. They risked torture or execution to draw and write diaries that they hid wherever they could, sometimes burying them in the graves of lost comrades. The diaries tell of inhumanity and degradation, but there are also inspirational stories of courage, comradeship and compassion. When men have unwillingly plumbed the depths of human misery, said one prisoner, the artist Ronald Searle, they form a silent understanding of what solidarity, friendship and kindness to others can mean. The diaries and interviews with surviving prisoners drawn on in SURVIVING THE SWORD will tell a new generation about that solidarity, friendship and kindness.
