Paperback. Condición: Very Good. An unusual coincidence occurred early one morning at the most visited war memorial in the United States as a shaft of sunlight hit one of the 58,282 names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The name was Larry Byford. So begins a unique personal journey to discover the story of the name on the wall. Travelling more than 30,000 miles, from east Texas to Vietnam, Mark Byford learns about the lasting impact on Larry's siblings, friends and the comrades who were there with him on the day he died in the summer of 1967. He pinpoints why that time became the turning point of America's most divisive war of the twentieth century. A Name on a Wall is a gripping true story that focuses on duty, heroism and fate. We learn not only about the tragic loss of Larry Byford, a draftee rifleman in Vietnam, but also the contrasting war story of the author's own father, Lawry Byford, a draftee from Yorkshire, for whom the Second World War became the springboard for a new life filled with opportunities. Forty years after the final American combat troops left Vietnam, thirty years after The Wall was built to heal a nation, and in the light of the recent controversial wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, what lessons, if any, have been learnt through the ultimate sacrifice of the name on a wall? 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. Condición: new. Paperback. A chance viewing by Mark Byford of a picture in London's National Gallery has inspired The Annunciation: A Pilgrim's Quest. The early-eighteenth-century painting by French artist, Francis Lemoyne, shows the encounter between the angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary. That meeting may be a pivotal point in Christianity, but has the status and significance of the Annunciation been lost in today's world? Mark Byford searches for the spiritual meaning of the biblical story through intimate conversations with more than a hundred clerics, theologians, historians and artists. Alongside those conversations he traces the history of the annunciation story in Christianity, from the early Church, through to the medieval cult of Mary and then the Reformation, to the age of the Enlightenment and on to the present post-modern world. People speak as never before about the personal and profound impact the annunciation story has had on their lives. It is a monumental project of scale, ambition and innovation, highly distinctive in its originality of approach and content.Mark Byford was born in Castleford, West Yorkshire in 1958. He has lived in Winchester for more than thirty years. He was the BBC Deputy Director General and Head of BBC Journalism from 2004 to 2011. Previously, he was the Director of the BBC World Service from 1998 to 2004. An award-winning journalist and editor, he worked at the BBC for thirty-two years. His first book, A Name On A Wall, was published by Mainstream in 2013. As a child, the annunciation story had a special resonance for the author. Now fifty years on, as a middle-aged adult, he has travelled around England, across the Continent and to the Holy Land to learn more about what one bishop describes as 'the most important event in human history'. Finally, The Annunciation: A Pilgrim's Quest reveals how Mark Byford's three-year search has impacted his own current beliefs and understanding. `The Annunciation: A Pilgrim's Quest' explores through intimate conversations with clerics, theologians and historians the encounter between Gabriel and the Virgin Mary, a pivotal point in Christianity.
