Guns and Brooches: Australian Army Nursing from The Boer War to the Gulf War
Bassett, Jan
Oxford University Press Melbourne 1992 First Edition
4t Hard Cover Publishers original brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. Grey endpapers, no inscriptions. 261pp including index, profusely illustrated with b/w photographs throughout text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. This book investigates the contradictions, paradoxes, and anomalies which have arisen because army nurses have been 'in but not of' the army. Financial discrimination against them as women in a men's organization has seen the female captain in charge of an operating theatre in Vietnam being paid less than a male corporal working with her. Guns have replaced brooches as part of their uniforms as 'total war' has increasingly made a mockery of the distinction between non-combatants and combatants, a meaningless distinction for the nurses machine gunned on Banka Island during the Second World War. The other side of 'women and children first' seems at times to have been 'and army nurses last'. Those sent to 'outposts of the empire', such as India during the First World War, have also had to cope with difficulties caused by deep-seated imperial tensions. Army nurses, such as the sick sisters on Lemnos shown on the cover, have paid heavy personal costs for their experiences. The author draws upon their words and photographs to consider the profound impact of war upon four generations of Australian women. Very Good/Fine

Cadogan’s Crimea
CALTHORPE, Lt. Col. Somerset J. Gough.
Hamish Hamilton London 1979 First Thus
8vo Hard Cover Colonel the Hon. George Cadogan saw the war as a participant, and recorded his observations in pictures while on the battlefield. His superb watercolours, carefully arranged in a large album which has been kept and treasured by his family, present the Crimean War from a soldiers point of view, sometimes horrifying, sometimes whimsical, sometimes sentimental, but at all times true to the prevailing atmosphere and events of the period. The text is an abridged version of Letters from Headquarters by the author, which was first published in two volumes in 1856. The writer's powers of observation combine the horror and dignity of war with the charm and humour; witness the story of the spy who was to be 'comfortably' hanged in the morning, or the occasion when Lord Raglan ordered up a troop of horse artillery and battery to fire on the Russians. During the Crimean War, for example, dress uniforms were used in battle and occasionally an officer, a lady on his arm, strolled across the heights above the battlefield showing her where he would be attacking in the morning. All this is shown in the illustrations. This is art and military history combined to extraordinary effect. Very Good

Hellfire: The Story of Australia, Japan and the Pisoners of War
Forbes, Cameron
Macmillan Sydney 2005 First Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original black cloth with white lettering to spine. Minor rubbing to top and base of spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. Black endpapers, no inscriptions. 559pp including index, plus 16pp b/w photographs, pages clean and bright in firm binding. Hellfire tells the epic stories of the 22,000 Australian prisoners taken prisoner by the Japanese. It charts the long history of racial tension between Australia and Japan, and the forces that shaped each country before the descent into war. Beyond the clash of nations it intimately explores both bravery in battle and the different courage required to survive years of harshness and hard labour. Hellfire details the individual stories of those caught up in history: the Hudson bomber pilot attacking the Japanese invasion force on Day One; the prisoner of war who refused to be blindfolded for his execution; the interpreter for the Japanese military police who turned the torturers' questions into English; the nurse surviving Sumatran prison camps; the man the atom bomb didn't kill in Nagasaki and whose home-coming helped change Australia. Hellfire was researched in Australia, Japan and across South-East Asia. It draws on 50 first-person interviews, ranging from former prisoners to an old Mon villager deep in the Burmese jungle, and from Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew to veterans of the Imperial Japanese Army. The result is a tour de force, a powerful and searing history of the prisoners of the Japanese. Very Good/Fine

American Caesar: Douglas MacArthur 1880-1964
Manchester, William
Hutchinson London 1979 First UK Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original red cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Minor rubbing to top and base of spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, small closed tear to bottom of front cover, now protected in Brodart. Typography endpapers, no inscriptions. 793pp including index, profusely illustrated with b/w photographs, pages clean and bright in firm binding. This book presents MacArthur in all his glory, complexity and contradiction. Here is MacArthur the military genius capable of masterpieces of strategy and inexplicable lapses (knowing Pearl Harbour had been attacked, he let his Philippine air force be destroyed on the ground nine hours later by the Japanese); a fifty-four year old four-star General who was terrified that his mother would find out that he kept a young Eurasian mistress. His retreat to Australia from Beleaguered Bataan in 1942 to organise the American offensive against Japan brought him the loudest accusations of cowardice and signalled his darkest hour; but the Australians, led by Prime Minister Curtin, hailed him as their saviour. So great became this involvement in Australian politics that he repeatedly returned to the country to talk with politicians long after the threat to the nation has been parried. The narrative is gripping because the General's life was fascinating. It is moving because he was a man of vision. It finally ends in tragedy because his character, though majestic, was tragically flawed. Very Good

With Pike and Musket: Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century Battles for the War Gamer
Wesencraft, C. F.
Elmfield Press Yorkshire, U.K. 1975 First Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original grey cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: clipped, chipping to top and base of spine, and corners. Closed tear to top of front cover, now protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. 192pp including index, plus 8pp b/w photographs, profusely illustrated with instructional battle maps drawings, pages clean and bright in firm binding. During the reign if Henry VIII a new type of weapon was making uts hesitant appearance within the ranks of the English infantry, the hand gun. At first it was a mere trickle, but gradually it gained in popularity. Being relatively cheap to produce, and making a great deal of noise when fired, it became the perfect mate for the other major weapon of the time, the pike. This book traces the courtship and eventual marriage of these weapons throughout a hundred years of English warfare. In the beginning one soldier would shoulder the musket while another trailed the pike. With the coming of the bayonet the pike declined to become a symbol of rank. Having armed the reader with a working knowledge of the weapons and their uses, this book presents suggested rules of play, which will enable the table top general to manoeuvre and fight in the manner of Charles I, Rupert, Essex, Cromwell, and the rest. Twenty-seven battles of the period are described, including the numbers engaged, types of troops, battle maps and objectives. Three hundred years after the dust of the battle has settled, once again the New Model Army faces Newcastle's Whitecoats across a low valley. The outcome will depend upon the ability of the reader. Run out the guns and let the battle commence. Very Good

The Doodlebugs
Longmate, Norman
Hutchinson London 1981 First Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original black cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, small tape reinforcement at base of spine, now protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions, minor small mark to front endpaper. 549pp including index, plus 16pp b/w photographs, illustrated with line illustrations and maps within text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. Ask anyone who lived in South East England for their most enduring memory of the Second World War and the chances are high that they will reply 'the doodlebugs'. Those ungainly monsters which roared across the skies in the summer of 1944 caused more physical destruction than the Blitz four years earlier, and because they appeared only a week after D Day, when everyone assumed the war was almost won, they had a far greater impact upon moral. Norman Longmate, the foremost historian of the Home Front in the Second World War, ahs spent five years compiling this history. In addition to research in the official archives only recently declassified under the '30 year rule' he has used much little known German material and has consulted more than 1500 informants. The result is history at its most fascinating for, as in his earlier books, the author tells the story of what was happening at various levels, from Hitler's headquarters to the back street warden's post in Streatham. For the first time the details of many incidents, previously veiled by wartime censorship are now revealed. Very Good

Dustwrapper: unclipped, two closed tears and wrinkling to bottom of front cover, closed tears to top and bottom of back cover, now protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. Frontis: b/w plate. 546pp including index, pages clean and bright in firm binding. The second edition of this standard reference work to all the aircraft of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, is fully updated to include details of aircraft added to the inventory up to the beginning of 1976. The eight years since publication of the first edition has seen a number of significant developments in Naval Aviation, all of which are reflected in the amendments and additions now made. Many of the entries in the original edition have been modified to provide details of additional production and new variants that have appeared in the last few years, and where necessary extra photographs have been introduced. A number of line drawings by L. E. Bradford have also been updated to show later variants. The main part of the book describes more than 130 significant aircraft types, each illustrated with one or more photographs and a multi-view line drawing. An equal number of less significant types are described more briefly, and illustrated with only a photograph, in the appendices, one of which is devoted to airships and another to gliders. Very Good

Scottish War of Independence: A Critical Study
Barron, Evan MacLeod
Robert Carruthers & Sons Inverness 1934 Second Edition
8vo Hard Cover Publishers original dark blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Minor marks to front cover and light sunning to spine. White endpapers, Award Certificate from Inverness Royal Academy pasted to front endpaper. Frontis: Map of Scotland showing the Earldoms and Divisions of the land about 1300. iix-xciv 526pp including index, pages clean and bright in firm binding. First published in 1914, the Scottish War of Independence is a full-blooded account of the crucial phase in medieval Scotland's struggle against the superior might of England-from Balliol's repudiation of the English in 1295, to the Treaty of Northampton in 1328. Evan MacLeod Barron, who was himself a proud Highland Scot, celebrates the concepts of passionate nationalism and resistance to tyranny as he dramatically details all the important battles from Stirling Bridge to Bannockburn. He also pays tribute to the deeds of the Scottish leaders, especially the paragon of chivalry Andrew de Moray; the outlaw turned-patriot William Wallace; and the royal claimant Robert Bruce, whose stunning victories after overwhelming reverses won him mythic stature. The author shows that at the time of the war for independence the Scottish aristocracy was more Celtic in culture and Scottish popular feeling more nationalist than previously suspected. He also exonerates Robert Bruce from charges of treachery brought by hostile historians, revealing him to have been a brilliant warrior-statesman. This book is a mine of historical information and can also be appreciated as a series of war adventures told with an enthusiasm like that of the heroes who fill its pages. Very Good

Arnhem 1944

Tempus 2004
8vo softcover 255pp very good. On September 17, 1944, over 2,000 transport aircraft lifted off from airfields across England and set a course for Holland. They were the first wave of the largest airborne operation in history, code-named Operation Market Garden. Their task was to open a 60-mile corridor for Allied ground forces from the Belgian border to Arnhem on the Lower Rhine. Nine days later, the remnants of the British 1st Airborne Division were evacuated from a precarious foothold 7 miles west of Arnhem, having failed utterly. William Buckingham's account, based on new research, unearths the reasons why the attack really failed.
