Author: Paula Byrne
Genre: Biography
Publisher: HarperPress

A terrifically engaging and original biography about one of England’s greatest novelists, and the glamorous, eccentric, debauched and ultimately tragic family that provided him with the most significant friendships of his life and inspired his masterpiece, ‘Brideshead Revisited’.

Evelyn Waugh was already famous when ‘Brideshead Revisited’ was published in 1945. Written at the height of the war, the novel was, he admitted, of no ‘immediate propaganda value’. Instead, it was the story of a household, a family and a journey of religious faith – an elegy, in many ways, for a vanishing world and a testimony to a family he had fallen in love with a decade earlier.

The Lygons of Madresfield were every bit as glamorous, eccentric and compelling as their counterparts in ‘Brideshead Revisited’. In this engrossing biography, Paula Byrne takes an innovative approach to her subject, setting out to capture Waugh through those friendships that mattered most to him. Far from the snobbish misanthropist of popular caricature, she uncovers a man as loving and complex as the family that inspired him – a family deeply traumatised when their father was revealed as a homosexual and forced to flee the country.

This brilliantly original biography unlocks for the first time the extent to which Waugh’s great novel encoded and transformed his own experiences. In so doing, it illuminates the loves and obsessions that shaped his life, and brings us inevitably to a secret that dared not speak its name.

A sailor fights to clear his name after his ship sinks in the last days of World War II, taking its cargo of bullion to the bottom of the sea.

The Trikkala...
Mined in the early hours of 5th March, 1945, 300 miles north west of Tromso, Norway, she was listed as sunk. Over a year later she was reported off the Hebrides in a gale, sending out an SOS.
I'd been a year in prison and I wanted the truth. His little bloodshot eyes looked up at me with a grotesque expression, half crafty, half pleading. I wrenched at his arm again and repeated my question.
'A share of the silver,' he cried. And then in quick succession: 'It wasn't any of my business. He was the captain. It wasn't my idea, I tell you. He'd have killed me along with the rest if I hadn't done what he said. I couldn't do anything to save them. I couldn't help them. You must believe that. It was nothing to do with me.'

Ruth McQuillan-Wilson, a Summerland survivor, tells her story through a vivid and evocative examination of the events. This fresh look at the disaster which befell the Isle of Man’s most modern holiday complex in 1973 not only sheds new light, but also uncovers many unanswered questions. Some of these questions, particularly about the suitability of untested modern building materials, have a surprising resonance with more recent events.

Author: Jane Mulvagh
Genre: History
Publisher: Doubleday

Madresfield Court is an arrestingly romantic stately home surrounded by a perfect medieval moat, in the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire. It has been continuously owned and lived in by the same family, the Lygons, back to the time of the Domesday Book, and, unusually, remains in the family's hands to this day. Inside, it is a very private, unmistakably English, manor house; a lived-in family home where the bejewelled sits next to the threadbare, the heraldic and feudal rest easily next to the prosaically domestic. The house and the family were the real inspiration for Brideshead Revisited: Evelyn Waugh was a regular visitor, and based his story of the doomed Marchmain family on the Lygons. Never before open to the public, the doors of Madresfield have now swung open to allow Jane Mulvagh to explore its treasures and secrets. And so the rich, dramatic history of one landed family unfolds in parallel with the history of England itself over a millennium, from the Lygon who conspired to overthrow Queen Mary in the Dudley plot; through the tale of the disputed legacy that inspired Dickens' Bleak House; to the secret love behind Elgar's Enigma Variations; and the story of the scandal of Lord Beauchamp, the disgraced 7th Earl.

Much more than A Night to Remember, this is a retelling and a reexamination of the Titanic story to show ""the efficacy of planned, official prevarication"" and to ""get at the real truth""--bad seamanship. Although Mr. Marcus' much more extensive (about twice as long) book doesn't have quite the instamatic action-incidentals of the Lord (Mrs. Straus giving her jewelry to her maid; the young honeymoon couple feeling the ship ""quiver"") he has his own revelations: the stranger warning a woman to get off before departure ""if she loves life."" But the most serious of them reside in what was established later, particularly in the British Inquiry even though its foreordained ""washing of dirty linen"" ended in a general whitewash. Here Marcus probes aspects Lord did not pursue: among them the ice reports by wireless which were undelivered to the bridge; the rockets' (white) glare observed and ignored by 2nd Officer of the Californian; the conduct in ""the Money Boat"" (of the Duff Gordons) and their refusal to rescue others; the Titanic's maintenance of high speed in an icy track. . . none of which was ""unforeseen nor unforeseeable""--the official conclusion. Familiarity cannot dim the excitement of this story even if much of the bravura legend is unsinkable--people will like to remember the band playing ""Nearer My God to Thee"" even if it was actually the much less familiar hymn, ""Autumn."" But this version disposes of the assorted apocrypha while retaining the drama of the disaster at full speed ahead--the waste, the gallantry, the almost catatonic calm of the tragedy.

This autobiography records the author's remarkably varied maritime career. In 1939 he obtained his Scottish Higher Leaving Certificate and, unable to obtain an apprenticeship, later passed his 2nd Mate's Certificate, and sailed as a navigating officer. This gave him the freedom to serve on a very large variety of vessels, beginning aboard MacBraynes' paddle steamer PS Gondolier as a First Class Pantry Boy until war was declared. In the following ten years, including the entire Second World War, he served aboard a UK coasting vessel converted for service as a Convoy Rescue Ship, a Portuguese coaster flying the Panamanian flag, two liners, a millionaire's steam yacht, four tankers (one of which was Norwegian and one adapted to fuel the Royal Navy escort at sea) and nine cargo ships (again one was Norwegian and one a weather-reporting ship). While probably not unique, this assortment would certainly be hard to equal, far less surpass. "Making Waves" thus provides a wide-ranging account of what life in the Merchant Navy was really like and the conditions in the countries visited, and contains many anecdotes and a deal of humor.

Seventy years ago, on 3 July 1938, on the East Coast main line, the streamlined A4 Pacific locomotive Mallard reached a top speed of 126mph - a world record for steam locomotives which still stands. Since then, millions have seen this famous locomotive, resplendent in her blue livery, on display at the National Railway Museum in York. Reissued for the 75th anniversary of the speed record, Don Hale tells the full story of how the record was broken, from the nineteenth century rivalry to be fastest between London and Scotland, and, surprisingly, traces Mallard’s futuristic design to the Bugatti car and Germany’s nascent Third Reich, which elevated the train into an instrument of national prestige. And he celebrates the singular figure of Mallard’s designer, Sir Nigel Gresley, one of Britain’s most gifted engineers. Mallard is a wonderfully nostalgic evocation of one of British technology’s finest hours. Don Hale is the author of Town without Pity, about his investigation of the wrongful conviction of Stephen Downing for murder, for which Hale was awarded the OBE.

‘The Mallon crew’ is the extraordinary result of four years of research. My decision in 2012 to write a blog about my father’s war-time experiences as the Flight Engineer of a Lancaster bomber, took me on an incredible voyage of discovery, and unearthed some remarkable stories of courage, sacrifice and betrayal. As a child growing up in the 1950s, I never tired of asking my dad about what he did in the war. I wanted to know all about his role, what flak was like, and even how aircraft were able to fly. By the time I left primary school, my interest had started to wane and, when he died in 1974 at the age of just 55, I thought I had lost any chance of discovering more about his life. I couldn’t have been more mistaken. Nearly forty years later, with just a handful of photographs, his flying log book and the name of his New Zealand pilot, Bill Mallon, my modest research project into ‘Bob Jay’s war’ uncovered more tragedies than I could have imagined possible, and connected me with the families of all but one of my dad’s crew. It even gave me the opportunity to talk to a man of 94 who had flown with my dad, and to find a photograph of my dad’s aircraft flying to his last target. This book is not about a squadron, nor is it about individual acts of heroism, it is about the Mallon crew, a small group of unremarkable men thrown together briefly during the last few months of the war, and the amazing way in which their stories have unfolded seventy years later. I defy anyone not to be moved by their experiences, nor to marvel at the power of the internet to bring people together.

An Encyclopedia of Man From UNCLE
6 October 2018
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
"The Man From UNCLE" was a part of my youth. I first heard about it when playing with other boys who had toy guns and other UNCLE merchandise. Eventually, I would see the toys in toyshops and read books and annuals, and something of it remained with me when on TV I saw some of the feature films of the series, and going back to programmes repeated and to DVD. It had a certain style that still gives pleasure, not least because of the perfomances of its two main stars Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, but also now I can appreciate some of the writing and production which was tight and often displayed panache.

Written in the nineteen eighties, this book is still probably the definitive history of both series The Man From UNCLE and its less successful spinoff "The Girl from UNCLE." It tells the story of how initial ideas for the series came out of conversations between James Bond creator, Ian Fleming, and the series producer Norman Felton. Little remained of Fleming's input mainly because of his involvement with the Bond film franchise except some names, and the series was developed by Sam Rolfe. It was then offered as a vehicle for Robert Vaughn, but the chemistry with David McCallum worked so well that they became a sort of double act, with the latter adding an extra element which added to the shows success. The book itself chronicles the series rise to being on of the top shows of its time, before declining partly because of a decision to make the show in its third series into comedy to the point it parodied itself.

The time of writing gives its author, John Heitland, the benefit of many of the stars, writers, directors, producers, cameramen being still being around who are interviewed. Robert Vaughn contributes a forward stating how it was a happy time for the team (something which he develops further in his more recent memoir "A Fortunate Life."). The book comprehensively covers all aspects of the show. Its stars guests, how the show was made and its look, as well as the merchandising that came about from it. There are also summaries of the plots of each episode of both the main series and its spin off.

This is a comprehensive history of a series that is regarded as a classic. If there is a fault it is in the way that some of the exhaustive detail can read at times like a list. But that is common enough in books of this type. This is the definitive book of the UNCLE phenomenon, though there are some good more recent histories. Essential for all UNCLE fans, and those who would like to see what the show was about. If you haven;t seen them those DVDs of especially first and second series are also a joy.

One of the most elegant and widely-travelled cruise liners afloat today. During her fifty years in service she has visited every continent and been seen in locations as varied as the Amazon and Antartic. Built as the Soviet liner Alexandr Pushkin, she spent her early years operating a transatlantic service from Leningrad to North America, together with numerous cruises from European and Australian ports. Following the dissolution of the USSR she was sold to Orient Lines, renamed Marco Polo, and given an extensive rebuild before introducing an innovative programme of world-wide expedition and destination cruises. Since 2010 she has been operated by Cruise & Maritime Voyages of no-fly cruises from UK ports. This book is a detailed exploration of the ship's history and a celebration of her current role as the much-loved Marco Polo.

Margaret Rutherford was without a doubt one of Britain’s best-loved comic actresses. But behind the kindly, serene front Rutherford presented to the world lay a life of trauma and repeated nervous breakdown – the legacy of the legacy of family tragedy that saw her father murder her grandfather during a bout of mental illness and her depressive mother later kill herself.

Andy Merriman’s acclaimed biography intrigued and shocked readers with these revelations when it was published in hardback. Now out in paperback, it is also a portrait of one of our most individual actresses. Rutherford appeared in such thoroughly English classics as Blithe Spirit, The importance of Being Earnest, Passport to Pimlico and I’m All Right, Jack! But above all she was Miss Marple, in four films – and entirely created for the screen the role of Agatha Christie’s elderly and fearless private detective that subsequent actresses like Joan Hickson and Geraldine McEwan have continued. Rutherford first played Miss Marple at the age of 70, and insisted on wearing her own clothes to feel right in the part.

Above all, this was a vulnerable woman whom no-one failed to like and respect, notable again and again for quiet acts of kindness, whose life story has great appeal to everyone who appreciates both classic English comedy and simple human decency.

Despite being a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours and of the British Society of Poster Designers, Kenneth Denton Shoesmith (1890 - 1939) is little known today, yet his maritime art perfectly captures the romance and adventure of ocean liner travel in the early 20th century. In 1918 he left a career at sea to devote himself to painting, and much of his art celebrates the ships of the Royal Mail Line, for whom he produced a vast amount of paintings and sketches for advertising purposes, but perhaps the pinnacle of his career was working on the interiors of Queen Mary. Shoesmith died at the early age of 48 just before the outbreak of war in 1939. An obituarist wrote: 'As a poster artist - he was quite definitely in the front rank of those who are content to paint what they see and know. He was direct in his methods, sound in his drawing and brilliant in his colour. His ships were not only correct in detail but they were always in and not on the water, for he painted with a seaman's knowledge as well as an artist's perception.' Glyn Evans has spent many years researching this elusive artist and rediscovering his works to share with a wider public. The selection of works included here are a fond tribute to Shoesmith's talent, and an expression of the author's personal delight in having discovered a maritime artist so gifted in the skill of bringing ships to life and imbuing them with such character as to make one wish to rush out and book passage on the next available sailing!

The River Tyne has been an important centre for shipbuilding and commerce for hundreds of years. Enormous local reserves of coal encouraged the development of industrial and maritime skills in a region which also gave birth to railways and the first successful steam locomotives. This book, by Gateshead historian Ken Groundwater, looks at the River Tyne by taking a journey downriver from Scotswood, looking not only at shipbuilding, but also the many docks and other quayside activities. A number of spectacular aerial views show the Tyne and its neighboring railways, industries and housing. The National Garden Festival site is also shown in times past. From ferries and colliers to elegant ocean liners and mighty warships, this book provides a nostalgic look at Newcastle's proud maritime heritage from the days of sail to the micro-chip technology of today.

2016 will be the 80th anniversary of the maiden voyage of one of the greatest of all ocean liners. The QUEEN MARY, constructed in the 1930s, sailed until 1967 and today lives on as a museum & hotel in southern California, is also one of the most famous ocean liners of all time. She was also heroic, serving valiantly in wartime, and altogether crossed the Atlantic more than 1000 times. Also, she was beloved favored by passengers and crew alike. Hollywood stars, as another example, just preferred the QUEEN MARY. She had an undefinable chemistry "Something in the woodwork that embraced everyone," according to one staff member. She was also part of Cunard, perhaps the most famous shipping line on the Atlantic. Along with a history of the QUEEN MARY, this book will look at her running-mate, the QUEEN ELIZABETH, as well as the subsequent QUEENS the QE2 and the current day QUEEN MARY 2, QUEEN VICTORIA & QUEEN ELIZABETH. This book will be a salute to the QUEEN MARY, but also to the great QUEENS and to Cunard itself."

Originally labelled Christmas-cracker trash by retailers and shopkeepers, the small-scale 1-75 series soon began to see unprecedented worldwide sales in the 1950s. Smaller and cheaper than most of its competitors' toys, Matchbox models were also far more accurately modelled, but the company has nevertheless seen its own share of competition and challenging times over the years. In this beautifully illustrated book, Matchbox collector Nick Jones tells the story of Matchbox and its most famous toys, from the Coronation Coach to Hotwheels dragsters, and complements the story with beautiful, previously unpublished photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating period document, with some excellent bonus material
Reviewed in the United States on 12 October 2016

For us serious ocean liners buffs, detailed books on the inner workings of these vessels are hard to come by. Thankfully, there are some excellent reprints of period publications out there. The majority of this book is a facsimile of a special 1907 issue of the English trade journal "Engineering" devoted entirely to the new liner. The original issue featured separate chapters on the ship's inception, construction and passengers facilities, the propulsion machinery, and auxiliary equipment. This was followed by 37 plates, which featured photos of the ship under construction, her machinery, and interiors, a set of deck plans, and plans of the main machinery spaces.

Keeping in mind the incredible public fascination with ocean liners at the time, this book makes for fascinating, if occasionally painfully esoteric, reading. You'll find elaborately detailed diagrams of sluice valves, lovingly-posed photos of steam turbines, and in-depth descriptions of how the refrigerating machinery and evaporators worked. If it sounds a bit dry, it's because it IS. This wasn't written for the general public, but for folks with an engineering background. I'll admit, there's a few passages that flew over my head. Still, it's rather amusing to imagine reading this from the perspective of someone who'd never seen a proper working toilet, or telephone exchange, on a steamship before.

In many ways, this book is superior to the better known Shipbuilder special. The pages are much larger, the paper quality is much better, and the photographs and diagrams are much clearer. The technical details of the ship's propelling machinery and auxiliaries are covered in substantially greater depth. Mark D Warren has written a very informative foreward, and included an additional 37 photographs, mostly of interiors, into the plates section.

Although it'll only really appeal to ship geeks (like myself!), this is a pretty solid addition to any Mauretania fan's library. It's not a beach read, and the fact that some of plans fall into the binding is annoying, but it's nonetheless excellent reading for anyone who knows what a hot-well pump is.

One of the most famous liners ever built, Mauretania held the transatlantic Blue Riband for more than 20 years. Despite being scrapped in 1936, many of the ship's fittings have survived in various locations, including Pinewood film studios and a Bristol lounge bar. This well-illustrated book tells the story of the Mauretania, examines its design and construction, and investigates the whereabouts of some of the carved panelling, fine furniture and decorative metalwork that once graced its magnificent interiors.

Almost surrounded by water, Cornwall faces the full force of the Atlantic Ocean and separates the English Channel from the Irish Sea. Many vessels of all kinds ply the shipping routes around the country. This book is devoted to the long and dramatic story of the Cornishman's enduring relationship with the sea, not simply to ensure his own preservation but also to ensure the survival of his fellow man. It contains the concentrated histories of the 23 Cornish lifeboat stations past and present.

Megrahi himself speaks for the first time in a powerful defence of his innocence. New evidence, never before published, destroys the prosecution case. Huge public interest in this case which has had a dramatic impact on international relations. The release of Megrahi on compassionate grounds sparked controversy and headlines worldwide. Abdelbaset al-Megrahi does not receive any financial profit from the publication of this book. 'You know me as the Lockerbie bomber. I know that I m innocent. Here, for the first time, is my true story: how I came to be blamed for Britain s worst mass murder, my nightmare decade in prison and the truth about my controversial release.
Please read it and decide for yourself. You are now my jury.' Abdelbaset al-Megrahi For the first time the man known as the Lockerbie bomber tells his story. This long-awaited book argues that, far from being an unrepentant terrorist, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was the innocent victim of dirty politics, a flawed investigation and judicial folly. Based on exclusive interviews with Megrahi himself, and conclusive new evidence, it destroys the prosecution case and puts the Scottish criminal justice system in the dock.
Megrahi: You Are My Jury makes a compelling argument that the murderers of the 270 Lockerbie victims were acting on behalf of an entirely different government, rather than Colonel Gadafy and Libya.

Drawing on the wonderful Getty photographic archive, this book is full of memorable images of a bygone era. It focuses on times within living memory, from the early 1930s to the end of the 1970s, during which the country underwent profound changes. Covering key aspects of the way we used to live, from home life, childhood and schooling through to the working world and popular entertainments, social historian Juliet Gardiner looks back on a largely vanished Britain.

A pictorial tribute to the "working" ship and not to the glamorous liner, published after the fire that destroyed her in Hong Kong.
90 black and white photographs of the Queen Elizabeth. Only a few pages of text.

Author: DONALD A. STANWOOD
Publisher: Corgi Books

Synopsis:
An eccentric billionaire, a best-selling author, and a beautiful, self-destructive woman: three lives linked by the tragic sinking of the Titanic
April 11, 1912: The gala sailing out of Southampton of White Star Line’s peerless luxury liner, the R.M.S. Titanic. Among the dazzling, doomed names on the passenger list for this, the Titanic’s maiden voyage, is Clair August Ryker, the lovely and dissolute wife of billionaire industrialist William Ryker, and her ten-year-old daughter, Eva. Also present is a young couple, obviously newlyweds, the Eddingtons, who are drawn to Clair and her child. Beneath the decks, in the cargo hold, is a crate marked Ryker Industries.

November 30, 1941: In Honolulu, the apparently accidental death of tourist Albert Klein and the brutal murder of his wife confound the promising career of a rookie cop. Norman Hall will never be able to forget the grisly sight of the dismembered body of Martha Klein. Decades later, a best-selling author, he is still haunted.

What could possibly link these events? A faded film, capturing the sunny pleasures of a ship-board party, and a terrifying recording of a voice describing a night of darkest infamy and moral outrage?

It is Norman Hall’s assignment, fifty years after the sinking of the Titanic, to cover for World Magazine William Ryker’s multimillion-dollar salvage expedition to recover the lost riches of the Titanic. Norman Hall is determined to understand the reclusive billionaire’s motives for the expedition, but as he delves deeper into the past, he finds himself in grave danger. To solve the mystery, he must somehow unlock the memory of the deeply troubled Eva Ryker.

Review:
“A sweetheart of a thriller . . . [Donald Stanwood] pulls an incredibly tangled story along as smooth as an ocean liner weighing anchor. . . . For people who want a good read, The Memory of Eva Ryker is one of the recent best.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Sheer entertainment, expertly done . . . A glittering thread of malice and mystery.” —Cosmopolitan

“A sure-fire combination of themes takes up where A Night to Remember and Raise the Titanic left off. . . . In a slick, fast-paced, and adroitly plotted suspense story, Stanwood brings together the strands of the Titanic disaster, including a starkly graphic re-creation of the ship’s last minutes.” —Publishers Weekly

This 215 page volume on Merchant Ships of the World, which was written and illustrated in colour by Laurence Dunn, was first printed in 1973 in hardback by Blandford Press; it was printed in a second impression (again hardback) in 1975. Chapters: Introduction; Colour Plates; Text for Colour Plates; Abbreviations; Diagrammatic Comparisons; List of Ships illustrated and grouped according to nationality; List of ships illustrated and grouped according to type and trade. Index of Ship Names.
About this book/synopsis: Merchant Ships of the World in Colour will present in several volumes a pictorial survey of the merchant ship, whether liner, tramp steamer, collier or coaster, and its development during the last 100 years. Each book describes the vessels of a single period, illustrating a representative selection, and provides details of construction, ownership, performance and other features. A special feature of each book is the 80 pages of colour plates by the author, which supply a unique coverage of details such as liveries, funnel marks and houseflags. The period covered by the present volumes was one of spectacular development and dramatic contrast. The Great War brought to an end a period of intense competition, reflected in a rapid increase in the size of individual liners; later, during the Twenties, a more restrained style emerged, less lavishly appointed and more suited to a less affluent world. The styles of these two periods, separated by the anonymous, camouflage-conscious years of the war, were quite distinct, the post-war years bringing a range of new shapes and profiles. To these, the by now emergent diesel engine made its own contribution, many of the early motorships having no funnel. The author at the time of publication was Vice-President of the World Ship Society and a member of the Belgian Nautical Research Association. He was a consultant on ship design and a well-known author and artist on maritime subjects

For eight terrifying nights in May 1941, Merseyside came under attack in the Liverpool Blitz. This special publication marks the 70th anniversary of the May blitz, when the Luftwaffe rained bombs, land mines and incendiary devices on Liverpool. Houses, office buildings, shops, warehouses and the dockyards were flattened in the may blitz in an attempt to paralyse the city. Famous landmarks such as Castle Street, the Lewis s building, Bluecoat Chambers and Liverpool Museum were left severely damaged. Featuring stunning images from the Liverpool Echo archive, Mersey Blitz takes you back to a 17-month period between August 1940 and January 1942 when the Nazis targeted the city. This May Blitz magazine is packed with remarkable stories and pictures demonstrating our city s unbeatable spirit.

Like the Thames in London; Rhine in Germany; Seine in France; Hudson in New York; Nile in Egypt; Danube in Vienna; Mississippi in the deep South of America, all these iconic rivers create images of a place ...of people, of cities and times. The Mersey still makes waves, invokes dreams and - whether silent or angry - stirs wishes and hopes. The River Mersey has played host to ships of all kinds for centuries. Gerry Marsden made it a pop and film star with his anthemic Ferry 'Cross The Mersey. But there's much more to this ferry fleet. For the first time ever, in this 84-page glossy publication, we look back at the Mersey and all the ferries that make it such a global attraction. Whether the ferries clinked their gates in Liverpool or Birkenhead or Seacombe. Further afield to Dublin, Belfast and the Isle of Man. And ...back again. They are part of the landscape, the seascape. Packed with rare photographs from the award-winning Daily Post and ECHO archives there's a cargo of interviews - pre and post war - from ordinary folk to celebrities and families having day-tripping holidays to New Brighton. There are the 'Fish and Chip', rock and roll boats of the 60s and memories of the Royal Iris to make you homesick but never seasick. The ferries are now firmly established as a part of Merseyside life - like the football clubs, the music, the humour, the architecture and, of course, those two other favourites, the Liver Birds. Charles Dickens loved the ferries. So too did George Formby, The Beatles and millions of other travellers. Why? Now book this ticket to ride. Mersey Ferry Tales pays homage to their past, present and future. All aboard.

This is a book about life in a great maritime port of the 1960s. The photographs from the period show a busy, vibrant scene of commercial and industrial activity.
However, this was a point when shipping was about to change drastically, as the emphasis switched to the shipping of goods and general cargoes in containers. The large shipping lines restructured into new container consortiums and the big fleets of conventional ships vanished almost overnight. Along with them went the tugs, barges and ancillary industries that provided employment to thousands in the region. Today, many of Liverpool's docks and warehouses lie empty as most goods are shipped through the Royal Seaforth Container Terminal.
The twilight years of the 1960s were the last heyday of Liverpool's long maritime history and are captured in Ian Collard's striking period pictures. From the glories of Cunard to the everyday to-ing and fro-ing of coastal ferries, the busy scenes of a port at work are bought to life. Sadly, it is a scene that has gone forever, but as Liverpool's dock buildings take on new roles and the city moves into the twenty-first century, we can at least look and remember the sea-going commerce that made Liverpool great.

Merseyside's industry and docks made it a legitimate target in both world wars with German bombers operating at the limit of their capabilities meant that their accuracy was subject to error and the damage to civilian areas was extensive. This memoir by one who witnessed the devastation is illustrated in the main with photographs taken from private collections and published here for the first time.

The middle years of Queen Victoria's reign saw huge social changes with the rise of the middle classes, the introduction of compulsory education and the growth of the labour movement. The Great Exhibition brought a taste of the exotic to the masses, and the London Underground was opened. Life for the poorest was affected by the work of the Board of Health, while the middle classes developed elaborate etiquette and the art of housekeeping with the help of Mrs Beeton. Mid-Victorian Britain explains how these changes affected family life in Britain, from matchgirls, prostitutes and workhouses to tea parties, jet mourning jewellery and the leisure revolution.

Although often thought of as one large and featureless suburb, Middlesex has a history of great interest, crowded with important events and famous characters, from Julius Caesar at Brentford to Winston Churchill at Harrow. First published in 1953, this book was the most comprehensive history of the county ever attempted in a single volume. Part 1, the history, ends with a section of 74 illustrations; while Part 2 is a gazetteer of places in Middlesex, arranged alphabetically.

Few people know much about Middlesex; it is commonly thought of as one large and featureless suburb. Yet it has a history of great interest, crowded with important events and famous characters, from Julius Caesar at Brentford to Winston Churchill at Harrow. Its history also includes minor curiosities of the past—the devil of Edmonton, the witch of Finchley, the miser of Harrow Weald, the highwaymen of Hounslow Heath—amid the varied incidents of local life in places that are now London dormitories. First published in 1953, at the time this book was the most comprehensive history and description of an English county ever attempted in a single volume. Its first part describes the county's natural situation and its earliest history and surveys its economic life, in particular its almost vanished agriculture and its modern industrial development. There are chapters on particular aspects of Middlesex's history, inhabitants, and buildings. The second part—virtually a book in itself—is a lively gazetteer of the places in contemporary Middlesex, from Acton to Yiewsley. The whole work is fully indexed and referenced, and includes tables of population and a detailed bibliography (both updated for this edition), line maps, diagrams, and 48 pages of superb photographs. Michael Robbins had a lifelong love of the county of his birth, and tramped many miles along Middlesex roads while researching and writing this book; he believed there was no other way of getting to know the county. It remains the standard work on the local history of the county—a book for all who know and love Middlesex.

On a black night in April 1912, fifteen hundred passengers and crew perish as the Titanic slowly sinks beneath the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. Charting the same perilous course through the icebergs is the SS Californian, close enough for her crew to see the eight white distress rockets fired by the Titanic. Yet the Californian fails to act, and later her crew insist that they saw nothing. As news of the disaster spreads throughout America, journalists begin a feeding frenzy, desperate for stories. John Steadman is one such reporter, a man broken by alcoholism, grief and a failed marriage. Steadman senses blood as he fixates on the Californian and his investigation reveals a tense and perplexing relationship between the ship's captain and second officer, who hold the secrets of what occurred that night. Slowly he peels back the layers of deception, and his final, stunning revelation of what happened while the Titanic sank will either redeem the men of the Californian, or destroy them.

Review by William S. Grass
4.0 out of 5 starsFuchida tells his story
18 May 2010 - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase
This is the account of the Battle of Midway, written by Mitsuo Fuchida, air group commander in Admiral Nagumo's carrier force that attacked Pearl Harbor. Fuchida's goal is to tell the Japanese side of the story of the battle and analyze the reasons for the crushing Japanese defeat at Midway. Fuchida suffered appendicitis immediately after the departure of Nagumo's force from home waters, and was therefore unable to fly during the battle. He was relegated to witnessing events from aboard the IJN carrier Akagi, Nagumo's flagship.

Fuchida's account of the events of that fateful morning of June 4, 1942 has been called into question, most notably by the recently published (2005) Shattered Sword, by Parshall and Tully. I have not yet read Shattered Sword, but plan to do so in the near future. Most objections I have seen raised by readers of Shattered Sword involve the presence or absence of IJN assault planes being refueled and rearmed on deck during the American attacks.

Details of the morning of June 4 notwithstanding, I was interested in Fuchida's analysis of the cause of Japan's defeat, and the assessment of Yamamoto's and Nagumo's judgement, and the other factors, ranging from over-dispersion of forces, battleship-centric traditionalists, down to flaws inherent in the Japanese national character.

Personal accounts of this nature, especially those told from the losing side, inevitably contain some self-justification and evaluation done by 20-20 hindsight. Even accounts told from the winning side are seldom free of those influences. If I were interested solely in just the facts of Midway then I would have gone straight to Shattered Sword and skipped the old books, like Fuchida, Lord and Prange. However, I am interested also in the historiography, that is, the evolution of how the story of Midway has been told, so I am reading them all. If necessary, after reading the others, I will amend this review.

HMS Hood was commissioned in 1920 and was described as the greatest and most graceful ship of her time. She was the last of the 'Leviathans' – those mighty ships, whose movement upon the high seas had assured the supremacy of Britain's Royal Navy and determined policy since the last quarter of the 19th Century.

During the 'twenties and 'thirties she had been the flagship of a number of admirals and could be found 'flying-the-flag' for Britain in the far-flung regions of the world – from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, from South America and the West Indies to Africa and the Indian sub-continent.

In early 1939 HMS Hood was refitted and rearmed prior to her joining the Home Fleet. As one of the British ships engaged in the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen, northwest of Iceland in May 1941, she was accompanied by HMS Suffolk and HMS Norfolk. During the ensuing battle HMS Hood received several hits from the Bismarck, the last a direct hit in the ammunition magazine. The 'mighty' Hood blew up and soon disappeared from view. A total of ninety-four officers and 1,321 ratings were lost within those brief moments, with only three survivors recovered from the sea.

A generation of British seamen had been trained in her. To millions of people she had represented British power and imperial might. With her passed not only a ship, but a whole era of naval history.

The coastal plain of West Sussex has no significant natural defensive positions and has therefore been defended by a number of man-made structures, ranging from the substantial to the comical. All these are described in detail, together with their armaments and the soldiers that manned them. Here is the story of 500 years of fortification from Brighton to Selsey.

The Times
'Mr Leasor's account of a tragedy that ought not to have happened, is full and moving.'

The R101 airship was thought to be the model for the future, an amazing design that was ‘as safe as houses. . .except for the millionth chance’. On the night of 4 October 1930 that chance in a million came up however.
James Leasor brilliantly reconstructs the conception and crash of this huge ship of the air with compassion for the forty-seven dead, including a cabinet minister – and only six survivors. One of the biggest disasters of British aviation history, which marked the end of commercial airships as a serious form of transport, this book also reads as a textbook of how state attempts to manage commercial ventures so often end in a disaster of one kind or another.

Publisher: The Folio Society

FIRST FOLIO SOCIETY EDITION entitled “Mission to Tashkent,” by Lieutenant-Colonel F. M. Bailey, with an Introduction and epilogue by Peter Hopkirk and 32 vintage photographic illustrations, including a frontispiece, and with maps drawn by Denys Baker.
 
It was published by The Folio Society, of London, and is the 1999 FIRST FOLIO SOCIETY EDITION. Note - my copy still shrinkwrapped, so unable to check edition..
 
In 1918, the author travelled to Tashkent in Central Asia on a mission to discover the intentions of the new Bolshevik government, specifically in relation to India. During this mission he also shadowed Raja Mahendra Pratap, an Indian nationalist who had established the Provisional Government of India in Kabul in 1915. Pratap was at the time liaising with Germany and Bolshevik authorities for a joint Soviet-German assault into India through Afghanistan.
 
It was at this time that the first plans for the Soviet Kalmyk Project was first considered.  Kalmyk Project was the name given to Soviet plans to launch a surprise attack on the northwest frontier of India via Tibet and other Himalayan buffer states in 1919-1920, to destabilize Britain and the Western European powers through unrest in the Colonial Empire.
 
Colonel Frederick Marshman Bailey (1882-1967) of the Indian Political Service was joined by two other intelligence adventurers, L.V.S. Blacker and Col. P.T. Etherton, in this mission into the turmoil of Russian Central Asia during the early part of the Russian Revolution. Bailey later held high political positions in Kashmir and Tibet and became well known as a collector of Himalayan artefacts many of which are now in the World Museum at Liverpool along with those of other former British officials with extensive experience in the Himalayan-Tibet region.
 
Bailey eventually had to flee for his life from the city, and only escaped after taking on the guise of an Austrian prisoner of war (POW) and joining the Cheka, with an assignment to find a rogue British agent (himself!)  Upon his return toEngland, he became a national hero. Bailey later recorded his exploits in more detail in this classic book.
 
This fascinating account of the author's journey to Turkestan Provence (also spelt Turkistan or Türkistan) the capitalprovence of Uzbekistan, from Persia during the First World War. Leaving India in April 1918 when Germany was at war with England and when the Persians were very suspicious of the English, and many agents were active on the borders of Persia and Afghanistan. 
 
The aim of his mission was to forestall anti-Allied efforts of the Central Powers at the end of the First World War and subsequent Bolshevist intrigues in Central Asia.  The perilous game of cat-and-mouse, lasted 16 months, in which the author played with the Bolshevik secret police, the dreaded Cheka …
 
The book measures 9.5 inches x 6.5 inches and has 269 pages + illustrations.

Arguably Herman Melville's greatest work, and hailed as a classic American novel, Moby Dick tells the tale of one man's fatal obsession and his willingness to sacrifice his life and that of his crew to achieve his goal. The story follows the fortunes of Captain Ahab and the culturally and spiritually diverse crew of the Pequod, a 19th century whaling ship. The Pequod is on its last voyage out of New Bedford, Mass, in pursuit of Moby Dick, the great white whale which has been Ahab's obsessional quarry and bitter adversary for many years. Narrated by sole survivor Ishmael, the tale forms a complex fictional fusion, combining a wealth of literary symbolism, hidden meaning and philosophical debate with adventure narrative and a detailed historical account of the 19th century whaling trade. --Emily Lowson

When Margaret Tobin Brown arrived in New York City shortly after her perilous night in Titanic’s Lifeboat Six, a legend was born. Through magazines, books, a Broadway musical, and a Hollywood movie, she became “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” but in the process her life story was distorted beyond recognition. Even her name was changed—she was never known as Molly during her lifetime. Molly Brown: Unraveling the Myth is the first full-length biography of this American icon, and the story it tells is of a passionate and outspoken crusader for the rights of women, children, mine workers, and others struggling for their voice in the early twentieth century.

Opened to the public in 1910, McKim, Mead & White's Pennsylvania Station featured a dramatic vaulted glass ceiling over its expansive main concourse and was inspired in part by the Roman Baths of Caracalla, giving visitor and commuter alike an experience of grandeur in entering and leaving the city. The decision in 1962 to replace the old station and its subsequent demolition ultimately proved to be key moments in the birth of the historical preservation movement--a movement that came too late to save Penn Station itself. But during this period one might on any given day of the week, have seen Peter Moore in the station, carefully photographing the building and the process of its destruction, even as above his head--and above the heads of the 200, 000 commuters who transversed the station each day--cranes were beginning to take down what had been one of the grandest public buildings of the twentieth century. Moore visited the Station again and again between 1962 and 1966 to document its architectural form as well as the drama of its ''unbuilding.'' The resulting photographs combine compositionally elegant images of architectural form and details with haunting pictures of glass and masonry stripped away from steel girders as the building is progressively demolished.

This text is Jones's account of his part in British Scientific Intelligence between 1939 and 1949. It was his responsibility to anticipate German applications of science to warfare, so that their new weapons could be countered before they were used. Much of his work had to do with radio navigation, as in the Battle of the Beams, with radar, as in the Allied Bomber Offensive and in the preparations for D-Day and in the war at sea. He was also in charge of intelligence against the V-1 (flying bomb) and the V-2 (rocket) retaliation weapons and, although the Germans were some distance behind from success, against their nuclear developments.

Orford Ness was so secret a place that most people have never even heard of it. The role it played in inventing and testing weapons over the course of the twentieth century was far more significant and much longer than that of Bletchley Park. Nestled on a remote part of the Suffolk coast, Orford Ness operated for over eighty years as a highly classified research and testing site for the British military, the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment and, at one point, even the US Department of Defence. The work conducted here by some of the greatest ‘boffins’ of past generations played a crucial role in winning the three great wars of the twentieth century: the First, Second and the Cold. Hosting dangerous early night-flying and parachute testing during the First World War, the ingenious radar trials by Watson Watt and his team in the 1930s, through to the testing of nuclear bombs and the top-secret UK-US COBRA MIST project, the ‘Ness’ has been at the forefront of military technology from 1913 to the 1990s.

Now a unique National Trust property and National Nature Reserve, its secrets have remained buried until recently. This book reveals an incredible history, rich with ingenuity, intrigue and typical British inventiveness.

This true account of the aliens who invaded the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia - first published in 1975 - has been made into a major motion picture starring Richard Gere, Laura Linney and Alan Bates. For thirteen months Point Pleasant was plagued by a dark terror that culminated in a major disaster. Unearthly noises and ghostly lights in the sky gave way to mutilated animals, winged monsters, weird flying machines and worst of all, the fearsomely demonic Bird - the Mothman. The story reads like a novel - but every single word of it is true and fully documented by john A. Keel, who spent a year in Point Pleasant where he saw and experienced many of the stranger manifestations personally.

Author: Roger Moore
Genre: Biography
Publisher: Michael O'Mara Books

Dashing, handsome and every inch the archetypal English gentleman, Roger Moore has starred in some of the most unforgettable films and celebrated television series of the last half century.
Who could forget the smooth-talking adventurer Simon Templar in The Saint? Or that rakish playboy Lord Brett Sinclair from The Persuaders? Roger Moore reigns supreme as the most debonair 007 and reprized the role of James Bond over seven blockbusting films. He has never written his autobiography - until now.
For the first time he shares his recollections of playing some of the world's most famous roles - and playing with some of the world's most legendary stars. He reminisces about his early days as a jobbing actor, and his first break, when he joined MGM studios. He talks of his family life, with memories of his childhood, as well as the happy and turbulent times of later years. He tells of his marriage and children and how he found love and contentment with his beautiful wife, Kristina.
Punctuated throughout with personal anecdotes about such luminaries as David Niven, Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, Michael Caine and Sean Connery, and memories from the heyday of Hollywood, this frank, funny and disarmingly charming autobiography is as attractive and diverting as the man himself.

Author: R. Howells
Genre: History

Revised and expanded, this new edition of The Myth of the Titanic locates the centenary of the sinking of this most famous 'Unsinkable Ship' within its historical, mythical and intellectual context. Richard Howells demonstrates the important difference between the rusting remains of the physical ship and the mythical Titanic that has replaced it in popular culture. By tracing the mythology of the Titanic back to 1912, he shows how late Edwardian society began the process by creating a triumph out of a tragedy. In doing so, Howells not only provides an invaluable insight into the social values of the time, but also reflects upon the far broader relationship between myth, history and popular culture today.
