Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The story of the seven regiments which compose the Household Division, commonly referred to as the Guards, has been often told, individually and jointly. To the world at large, the image of the Guards has been coloured by their ceremonial duties as the regiments dedicated to the protection of the sovereign - whether on duty at Buckingham Palace and Horse Guards, or at great national occasions such as The Queen's Birthday Parade, which the public know as the Trooping of the Colour. Yet in the 21st century the Guards have never been more active and engaged in their role as highly effective operational military units, whether in Bosnia, Iraq or, more recently, Afghanistan. Excellence in Action is a new, richly-illustrated publication which offers a true, wide-ranging colour portrait of the Household Division which reflects the tradition of excellence of the individual formations in the context of today's role as an elite fighting force. "Excellence in Action has been edited, designed and illustrated with all the panache and professionalism of the regiments themselves" - Soldier Magazine, June 2008 "Excellence in Action is as good as its word .This is an analysis of a unique institution, which is both interesting and skilfully written . .Excellence in Action - but also excellence in production." - Maj-Gen Sir Evelyn Webb Carter, Country Life, June 2008 "Excellence in Action is a splendid, extraordinarily successful book, a real triumph, and cannot be recommended too highly." - Guards Magazine, Summer 2008.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Sinking ships, devastating fires, horrendous car accidents, mountain climbing catastrophes, sword wielding terrorists and killer crocodiles are all situations recorded in this book; but what start out as disasters are redeemed by the bravery, quick thinking and sheer humanity of people who, only moments before, had no idea that they are about to be thrown into circumstances of overwhelming intensity.These are stories from the archives of the Royal Humane Society, which has been rewarding bravery for 250 years. They provide an insight into the type of person who risks their lives, potentially sacrificing themselves to save others. Some are famous but most are ordinary people from young boys to older women going about their daily lives.Dramatic and hair-raising, the tales are gripping in their own right but the fact that there is always a hero or heroine at their heart reinforces our faith in humankind and reminds us that there are plenty of ordinary people in the world capable of extraordinary and compassionate bravery. Incredible stories of bravery by ordinary people saving the lives of fellow citizens, often in hair-raisingly dangerous situations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
