This is a Reprint Edition, published in 1996, of a book originally published in 1850. Trade Paperback. The Ways of the Hour was James Fenimore Cooper's last novel, published in 1850. Set in a rural New York county seat outside New York City, it is a courtroom drama of a woman accused of murder and theft, and of the men and women who defend her case. The surprise ending is perhaps as unexpected as any in crime fiction. Cooper used the novel, among other things, to express his discontent with changes in New York State's judicial system during the 1840s, with the corruption of courts and juries, and with new ideas of women's rights. The accused woman, Mary Monson, is a notable character in her own right. The Ways of the Hour should be considered a classic in the history of the mystery novel -- as it is perhaps the first novel to revolve almost entirely about a courtroom murder trial.…

Tyburn may be the best known site of execution in London, but as the authors reveal in their new book. the capital could be aptly named the 'executioner's city', so many were the places where execution took place. This book ranges from medieval times to the last century and provides a colourful and grimly entertaining exploration of these numerous sites. The main execution grounds after Tyburn were Smithfield, the Tower, Tower Hill and Newgate prison. Certain places were reserved for the execution of particular types of felon. A powerful evocation of the dark side of London's history, this book reveals the capital as a place where the bodies of criminals defined the boundaries of the city and heads on poles decorated London Bridge. A king and more than one queen, heretics, archbishops, pirates, poisoners, plotters and murderers met death by hanging, beheading, burning or boiling in London, an on most occasions the crowd roared its approval. The authors book is a vivid picture of capital punishment - from both the victim and the executioner's point of view - in a capital that seems to have thrived on executions. 248 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Cloth. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback First edition The Warlord and the Renegade : The Story of Hermann and Albert Goering GOERINGThey were the most unlikely siblings - one, Adolf Hitler's most trusted henchman, the other a fervent anti-Nazi. Yet Hermann and Albert Goering shared a fraternal bond that transcended their polarised political ideologies. In this fascinating portrait of the brothers, James Wyllie charts a relationship of seemingly irreconcilable extremes set against the backdrop of Nazi Germany.Hermann Goering was a founder member of the Nazi Party, who became commander of the Luftwaffe, ordering the terror bombing of civilians and promoting the use of slave labour in his factories. Yet he was also a dedicated conservationist, loved by his family and for many years a popular hero to Germans of all ages and social class.His brother, Albert, two years younger, loathed Hitler's regime and saved hundreds - even thousands - across Europe from Nazi persecution. Albert was a devout Christian, who nevertheless was married four times, had a string of affairs and enjoyed the high life. He deferred to Hermann as head of the family but spent nearly a decade working against his brother's regime, intervening wherever possible to rescue the victims of Nazi tyranny, running escape routes, hauling people out of death camps, influencing policy, promoting sabotage and helping the resistance.

Cloth. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Edward VII's Last Loves. Alice Keppel and Agnes Keyser. In 1898 the youngest daughter of a Scottish retired admiral and MP emerged from obscurity to become the publicly acknowledged mistress of the portly, fun-loving Prince of Wales, later crowned Edward VII.

Cloth. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Leakey's Luck. Foreword by Field Marshall Lord Carver. Major-General Rea Leakey is one of the Royal Tank Regiment's greatest heroes of the Second World War. He led a charmed like throughout the North Africaqn desert campaign and later in the battles of Noth Wear Europe. This is his autobiography which ocvers the period of his Army service, from joining his first regiment to the end of the Second World War.Many of his exploits are hair-raising, some are even too fantastic to be true - but true they are: he won his second Military Cross as a British Army captain fighting as an Australian lance-corporal during the seige of Tobruk; before taking up a staff appointment he spent his ten day's leave with his old regiment, fighting as a tank gunner in the 8th Army's disastrous Gazala battles, escaping with his life. This book is important because it provides us with a graphic eyewitness account by one who was there at the 'sharp end'. George Forty, well known in his own right as an author, and formerly director of the Tank Museum at Bovington, has edited Leakey's autobiography, setting the scene to each chapter and placing the events of the war within their strategic contexts. The result is an extraordinary story of one man's war and a unique testomony to a soldier who contributed in no uncertain way to victory over the Axis powers in the Second World War.
