Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The beaches are still there. The sand still shifts with every tide. But the men who crossed them are almost gone, and the stories they carried are fading with them.Walking in Their Footsteps is the D-Day history for readers who want more than maps and manoeuvre tables. Written by a British author who lives less than an hour from the Normandy beaches, it is a book shaped by decades of walking the actual ground, talking to the people who remember, and standing in the places where everything changed on the morning of 6 June 1944.This is not a book that competes with Antony Beevor or Cornelius Ryan. It occupies a different register entirely: ground-level, human, and intimate. Where the great histories survey the campaign from above, Walking in Their Footsteps begins from a named place the author has personally walked, and asks what it felt like to be there. The result is something rarer than analysis: genuine proximity to events that reshaped the world.What You Will Find InsideThe book is dedicated to Harry Billinge MBE, a D-Day veteran who devoted the last decades of his life to ensuring that nobody forgot. His presence runs through these pages as a reminder of what living memory means, and what we lose when it is gone.Walking in Their Footsteps also pairs with a GPS-guided companion app giving access to more than one hundred named sites, making it the only D-Day title that extends from the page directly to the ground beneath your feet.Who This Book Is ForIf you have read Beevor, Ambrose, or Max Hastings and found yourself wanting something warmer, closer, and more personal, this is the book you were looking for. If you are planning a trip to Normandy and want a companion that goes beyond the tour buses and the standard itineraries, Walking in Their Footsteps will transform what you see. If you carry an inherited memory, a grandfather's silence, a photograph with no caption, you will find context and humanity here that no regimental history can provide.This is history for people who believe that the ground remembers, even when we struggle to. It is for the battlefield pilgrim, the curious traveller, the family searching for meaning in a name on a headstone, and every reader who has ever stood somewhere significant and felt the weight of what happened there pressing up through the earth.Walking in Their Footsteps is the most personal, immediate, and human guide to the D-Day beaches and the Normandy campaign ever written by someone who actually lives among them. Read it before you go. Read it when you return. Read it because the obligation of remembrance belongs to all of us now. D-Day and the Battle of Normandy told from inside the landscape where it happened. Every chapter begins with the author on the ground in present-day Normandy, then steps back to tell the story of what took place on that spot. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Two great powers bleed each other dry in a war neither can win. A third, patient, watches from the mountain.A logistician counts the shells and realises his country is being hollowed out from the inside - not by the enemy it is fighting, but by the one it has never thought to fear. A mother in a wartime grain store keeps a secret notebook, recording a pattern no one else will name. A diplomat spends forty years building the trust of nations he intends to betray. An intelligence analyst finds a date buried in a column of figures - the date the world changes - and spends three years trying to make someone act before it arrives.Four people. Four countries. One slow, patient, devastating design.None of them can see the others. All of them can see the same thing: somewhere beyond the war everyone is watching, a patient power sits on the high ground, spending nothing, committing nothing, waiting for the two great rivals to exhaust each other completely. When they do, it will descend into what the bleeding has left. And the war the whole world thought it understood will turn out to have been the preparation for a different war entirely.A novel about the geometry of power - who spends, who waits, and who inherits the wreckage.Watching Tigers Fight is a geopolitical thriller told through four rotating perspectives: the soldier who sees his country being spent, the mother who witnesses the design from below, the diplomat who believes mass destruction is mercy, and the analyst whose warnings are heard, admired, and never acted upon.It is about the people who see catastrophe coming and cannot make anyone listen. The people who arrange catastrophe and cannot stop believing it is kindness. And the terrible discovery that the brave thing and the right thing and the futile thing can be the same thing.Set in a fully fictional world with no real-world nations, Watching Tigers Fight draws on the logic of Sun Tzu, the patience of grand strategy, and the human cost of geopolitical calculation. The title comes from the ancient Chinese proverb - sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.No nations in this book are real. The pattern is.Perfect for readers of Elliot Ackerman, 2034, Ghost Fleet, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and anyone who has ever wondered what happens when patience itself becomes a weapon.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. It's 1963. The Beatles are on the radio, Britain is changing fast, and in a Cardiff suburb, a young woman eating egg and chips gets an unexpected question from her father: "How would you like to be in showbiz?"That question launched Sarah Wrigley and three friends into one of the most unlikely adventures of the Swinging Sixties. As The Fabs, later renamed The Jonson Sisters, these four young Welsh women picked up guitars and drumsticks and threw themselves headlong into a music scene that had no intention of making room for them. Boy bands were ten a penny. All-girl bands were virtually unheard of. They did it anyway.Twenty Pairs of Pants and a Passport is Sarah's vivid, funny and deeply personal memoir of eight extraordinary years on the road. From early gigs in the clubs of South Wales, where male musicians laughed at them before they played ("What type of guitar have you got? Aaw a nice red one!") and quickly shut up once they started, to a chance encounter with Roger Daltrey of The Who, who told them bluntly that girls would never make it in pop, this is a story of determination, friendship and sheer nerve.The adventure soon took the band far beyond Wales. A four-month contract on US army bases in southern Germany, just twenty years after the end of the Second World War, plunged them into a world of Cold War military life, late-night sets, and eye-opening cultural encounters. They learned to navigate foreign countries with little more than a phrase book and youthful confidence, playing four-hour shows every night and discovering that talent and hard work could open doors that gender was supposed to keep shut.Then came Mexico. A six-month residency in Mexico City arrived just in time for the 1968 Olympic Games, bringing encounters with diplomats, bullfights, Aztec ruins and Acapulco. The band played to international audiences in glamorous nightclubs, tasted a life far removed from anything a working-class Welsh upbringing had prepared them for, and navigated the complexities of being young women abroad in an era long before mobile phones or the internet.Back in Britain, the band pushed for the big break. Through connections to the comedy writers behind Morecambe and Wise and Frankie Howerd, they landed a television appearance, played major club venues across the country, and came tantalisingly close to the success that always seemed just out of reach. They shared bills with household names, appeared on BBC Wales, and performed summer seasons that kept audiences coming back night after night.Through it all, the thread that holds this story together is friendship. Four young women who stuck together through eight years of shared digs, cramped vans, questionable accommodation, late nights and early mornings, romantic entanglements, homesickness and hilarity. They started together in Wales and, eight years later, took their final bow in Wales.Sarah writes with warmth, wit and an unpretentious honesty that brings the era vividly to life. This is not a story of fame and fortune. It is something rarer and more valuable: a story of four ordinary women who grabbed an extraordinary opportunity and never looked back. For anyone who loves the music and culture of the 1960s, the untold stories of women in the entertainment industry, or simply a rollicking good memoir about friendship and adventure, Twenty Pairs of Pants and a Passport is an absolute delight.It was fab.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Salford is not Manchester. It has never been Manchester.For a thousand years, the River Irwell has divided two cities that the rest of the world treats as one. On one side: Manchester, the city everyone has heard of. On the other: Salford, the city almost nobody has.This book tells Salford's story, from the Domesday Book, when Manchester was a footnote within the Salford Hundred, through the Industrial Revolution, two world wars, the rise and fall of the docks, and the reinvention of the Quays.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - From Coaldust to Stardom: The Rags-to-Stardom Story Hollywood Could Never Have InventedHe was the eleventh child born into soot and scarcity in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania, in a house where hunger was a daily companion and the coal mine waited like an inheritance no one wanted. By the time Charles Bronson became one of the highest-paid actors on earth, he had survived poverty that most Americans of his generation could barely imagine, buried a father killed by the mine at fifty-two, and fought his way through a war that remade him entirely. From Coaldust to Stardom is the biography this extraordinary life has always deserved.Robert J. Hartwell traces the full arc of Bronson's journey with the same economy and toughness the man himself brought to every role he ever played. This is not a book about films. It is a book about survival, reinvention, and the price of the American Dream when you begin at the very bottom of it. Drawing on interviews, archival research, and a close reading of the cultural forces that shaped mid-twentieth-century America, Hartwell situates Bronson's life within the broader fault lines of post-war history: the GI Bill generation, McCarthyism, urban crime anxiety, and the vigilante politics that made Death Wish one of the most controversial films of the 1970s.The scenes Hartwell uncovers carry a quiet devastation. A ten-year-old boy descending underground for the first time as a coal picker, his fingers cut by sharp-edged coal while watching a man's hand destroyed by machinery. A twelve-year-old witnessing his father's death from black lung disease, and walking away with something permanent lodged inside him, a determination that this would not be his fate. A young soldier arriving at Army basic training and eating three full meals a day for the first time in his life, a detail so spare and so shattering that it reframes everything that came before it without a word of editorialising.And then the famous 1972 remark to a French journalist, five words that carry the weight of an entire life.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The joule. The most quoted line in British sports commentary. The most performed Christmas carol in the English language. The most influential work of Victorian social theory. All from Salford. Almost nobody knows it.For centuries, one of Britain's most remarkable cities has watched its achievements claimed by the place next door. FROM THESE STREETS sets the record straight.In fifty vivid biographical portraits, historian David Oldham recovers the men and women whose lives were shaped by Salford's streets and whose work, in turn, shaped the world. Here is William Crabtree, standing transfixed at his attic window in Broughton on 24 November 1639, the first human being ever to witness the transit of Venus across the sun. Here is John Byrom, scribbling a Christmas gift for his daughter Dolly in 1745, unaware he was composing a carol that would be sung by millions every year for centuries to come. Here is James Prescott Joule, whose obsessive measurements in a Salford brewery gave science its standard unit of energy. Here is Friedrich Engels, whose years on Salford's streets produced a work of social analysis that changed the course of history.These are not footnotes to someone else's story. They are the story.FROM THESE STREETS spans astronomy and athletics, poetry and politics, invention and social reform. It introduces readers to the Nos Keplari, a self-taught circle of northern stargazers who laid the groundwork for Newton and the first Astronomer Royal, working entirely outside the university establishment. It restores names that history mislaid and connects lives across four centuries to reveal a coherent, defiant civic identity.David Oldham argues, quietly but with considerable force, that belonging to Salford is defined not by a birth certificate but by the reciprocal relationship between a place and a person. It is an argument that will resonate with everyone who grew up being told they were from somewhere lesser, and discovered they were not.Rigorous in its research, warm in its storytelling, and unashamed in its civic pride, FROM THESE STREETS is the book Salford has always deserved. A gift for anyone with roots in the city, an essential read for lovers of popular British history and collective biography, and a powerful reminder that the North of England has never needed anyone else to tell its story.…
