Paperback. Condición: New. In national treasure Dame Kelly Holmes' most personal book yet, she tells the true story behind her extraordinary life from army recruit to Olympic hero and much- loved TV personality. Last year, Dame Kelly came out publicly as being gay and revealed that for the first 52 years of her life she'd been l…iving a LIFE OF FEAR. Now in a heart-rending and inspirational new memoir she tells of her journey from hiding her sexuality as a young soldier at a time when being gay in the military was illegal, to her fears of being outed as she stood on the podium at the Athens Olympics, the games which catapulted her to fame as a double-gold medallist. Dame Kelly tells how she has managed to find happiness and inner peace as she has opened herself to a world where she's finally free to be herself, and proud. In the last year she has become an unofficial ambassador for the LGBT community and has become one of the best- loved faces of daytime TV, joining the regular panel of ITV's Loose Women. This honest memoir is a tale of self-discovery, overcoming struggles and learning to be true to yourself. This honest memoir is a tale of self-discovery, overcoming struggles and learning to be true to yourself. Dame Kelly says: "80,000 people were chanting my name as I stood on top of a double-decker bus and did a victory lap of my hometown. I'd won two Olympic gold medals, the first woman the UK to ever do that, and I should have been on top of the world at my homecoming parade but even in that magical moment I had this deep fear that someone was going to go to the media and out me for being gay. "All my life I lived with that fear and anxiety of not being accepted if I lived publicly as my true self. But 18 years later I was standing on stage in Trafalgar Square at London Pride, and people were chanting for me again, this time for the person I have become and I was finally free to be me. Nothing is perfect, the journey continues and I'm learning every day about the community I'm now proud to be part of. But I'm being true to myself and that means everything.".

Paperback. Condición: New. Irish Sports Book Award 2021 Winner! Fight Or Flight: My Life, My Choices is the autobiography of Irish rugby legend Keith Earls. Keith Earls started out in senior rugby as a teenage star and during the course of his long career has become one of the most admired and respected players of his generation…. A British and Irish Lion at the age of 21, he is now closing in on his 34th birthday and still playing at the top of his game. He has won 93 caps for Ireland and played over 180 games in the famous red of Munster. He started every match of the 2018 Six Nations campaign that culminated in an Irish Grand Slam victory. A lethal finisher blessed with a sprinter's speed, Earls is the second-highest try scorer of all time for his country. With Munster he is one try short of the all-time total and looks set to break that record next season.Yet, Earls has achieved these milestones whilst being racked by private battles with his mental health for most of his career. A number of crises brought him to the brink of voluntary retirement from the game.A native of Limerick city, Earls grew up in one of its most socially disadvantaged housing estates. Moyross was blighted by crime and violence and he did not escape unscathed from the surrounding fear and trauma visited upon his beloved community. His natural talent brought him into the privileged bastion of elite rugby union. His autobiography tells the story of his long struggle to reconcile the world whence he came with the world opened up by his brilliance with an oval ball.Earls has maintained a low profile throughout his career. For the first time he will talk in depth and at length about the inner turmoil that went unseen by team-mates, friends and fans. It is a confessional, intimate and courageous story of the pain that was a constant companion to the glory.Earls says: "It's not me at all to be doing anything remotely like an autobiography. I don't like talking about myself, I don't like bringing attention to myself. And I guess that's one reason why I am doing it. We're supposed to get out of our comfort zone. I've learned enough along the way to know that much. It's where your progress and growth happens. I hope if I can share some of my life experiences here, it might inspire others.".

Paperback. Condición: New. "I took Ted Turner, Kofi Annan and Tony Bourdain into Palestine, shook handswith Yasser Arafat, took Anderson Cooper into the mountains of the Congo insearch of a rebel general, a CNN crew into the heart of battle in Liberia, flew toHuman Rights Watch in Moscow to help it manage the most dangerous piec…eof information it has ever possessed, serious enough to threaten the lives ofeveryone involved."Duncan Falconer has survived five explosions, two only just, been shot at on numerousoccasions, chased by machete wielders, hunted by man and beast, survived drowningonce, a faulty parachute opening once, an air-crash, several vehicle crashes, blacked outwith anaphylactic shock, walked through a minefield, barely escaped capture by fanaticalterrorists when others were caught and executed, and experienced close calls so manytimes he has forgotten most of them.First Into Action Again is a sequel to Falconer's best-selling first autobiography, First IntoAction. The story begins where the first book ended, with him leaving the Special BoatService after a slew of adventures, to embark on what turned out to be a new life filledwith many more exciting exploits, more than he had in the SBS, where he was often,once again, the first into action.Within days of leaving the SBS, he was recruited by a company that conducted specialisedtasks, many of them filtered down through MoD sources. Tasks included heading alone intothe hills of northern Spain to spend many months training Basque police recruits and turningthem into an anti-terrorist force to combat the notorious terrorist organisation, ETA. Anothertask, that came from British military intelligence, was as a lone undercover operator on theQE2 during a terrorist threat on a transit from Southampton to New York.Falconer has spent the last 15 years operating in the most dangerous places on earth whileat the same time writing 10 novels, most of them based on real life experiences.

Paperback. Condición: New. A collection of interviews with men and women from the Silent Generation - those born between 1928 and 1945 - about their childhood experiences during World War Two "Those men and women who donned uniforms to 'do their bit' were not the only ones affected by a conflict that turned the world upside down…. Many millions of children also lived through the war."Each November we remember the sacrifice and courage of the soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought in two world wars. Sadly, as each year passes, only a handful of veterans survive to tell their stories, and those of their comrades who paid the ultimate price.But there's another group of women and men, themselves now elderly, who also survived a war. They may not have borne arms, or worn a uniform, but they too faced war's horrors - as children - and they bear its scars. They may not be war veterans but they are war's victims and survivors.Author Chris Manby and social historian Simon Robinson finally give a voice to those children, and tell some of the very few untold stories of World War Two. Tales of hardship, danger, brutality and terror."Alongside their parents and grandparents, they too faced the blitzes, lived on rations and were, in many terrible cases, imprisoned, subjected to torture and used as slave labour. Though the children of World War Two were too young to serve they were not too young to suffer."Moving, compelling, tragic and uplifting, it is also a story of our times as the authors say. "A new generation of children is spending nights in bomb shelters, becoming refugees and losing their loved ones. Perhaps listening to the voices of those who were children during World War Two, and examining how their lives developed in the decades that followed, can help us to better understand how to support this new band of war babies in the years to come. It's time for the Silent Generation's stories to be heard.".

Paperback. Condición: New. It is the early 1980s, Mrs Thatcher is ruling the country with an iron hand and Stevie is on a quest for change. Her marriage over, her job familiar. She decides to move as far away from her past as possible and start again in the middle of nowhere, alone with her small daughter and her pets.Stevie kn…ew about nursing in towns. She could manage a traffic jam and a high-rise block in her sleep. Patients were the same everywhere, she reasoned with herself as she drove over Sugar Loaf mountain at dawn and entered Wales. How wrong she was, how much she had to learn as she became a community nurse in rural Wales in the early 1980s.Stevie's romantic images of rolling hills and lilting Welsh accents were soon replaced with the reality of surviving a terrain that ruined her car exhaust every other week. She found herself struggling to navigate the mountain paths while chasing the postman with a slip of paper containing the very long name of the farm she was trying to find.The patients presented the same problems as she was used to, but with many more complications that inevitably come with rural life. Stevie's work varied from laying out patients with the help of a bricklayer on his first 'hobble' (odd job) to leaving a patient in the shed until the undertaker came the next dayWith tales as touching and sad as they are hilarious, Stevie's exploits paint a picture of a time gone by and a district nurse trying to keep her head as a fish out of water.She started alone and scared, a stranger in a different land. She emerged from the experience wiser and humbler with new coping strategies, some dear friends, and an incredible recipe for Welsh cakes.

Paperback. Condición: New. 'Helen Lederer is the third funniest woman in the world' - Dawn French What was it like as one of a handful of women at the heart of the right-on alternative comedy scene in the 1980s? Piece of cake? Bit of a laugh? Well, yes, and no. It had its ups - but also its downs. Helen Lederer was a regular on…the stand-up circuit and new-wave sketch shows in the decade that launched the careers of today's comedy household names and national treasures. She shared stages with comedy pioneers like Ben Elton and John Hegley, and TV screens with Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Harry Enfield, and many others. From the iconic Absolutely Fabulous, to Bottom, Happy Families, Naked Video, French and Saunders and Girls on Top, it is difficult to think of a comedy show that Helen wasn't a part of. From writing radio shows, to performing on the West End her wry, witty perspectives, and her face, are unforgettable. So, plain sailing then? Well, not really. Not That I'm Bitter, her powerful, frank, moving and characteristically funny memoir, reveals exactly how choppy the waters could be. Even in those ground-breaking, anti-Thatcher days, there was only room at top for so many women. For the rest, it was as much a struggle to be seen and heard in the world of comedy as in any boardroom or workplace, and just as difficult to avoid the predators. This is more than the story of one decade, however. The child of a Jewish-Czech wartime refugee, Helen Lederer was never part of the mainstream. How do you make humour from a lifelong battle against problems with weight and low-self-esteem? Where are the jokes in addictions to diet-pills and steroid injections? How can laughter defeat the darker moments, like a child's anorexia or PTSD? How do you cope with constant self-sabotage and when, despite enormous success, you still feel like a failure? Helen raises an important and open discussion around mental health alongside the evolved attitudes to women today. There's something in Helen Lederer's life-story that everyone, can relate to. A genuinely funny memoir with lots of heart (and just the right amount of bitterness!), she pulls no punches, but every blow is wrapped in a laugh of recognition. Brilliantly written, revealing, and moving, Not That I'm Bitter is sweet, sour, laugh-out-loud, and addictive.
