Two of our titles appeared in Lt-Gen Sir Barney White-Spunners Christmas recommendations: With the SAS and Other Animals Andrew Higgins's With the SAS and Other Animals is the story of the author's experiences as a vet with the SAS in the Dhofar War in 1974. His role was to win the local Omanis' 'hearts and minds' by ministering to their livestock goats,camels,sheep and cattle-and then Sultain's menagerie of exotic birds, hyenas and beats. It's not only fun to read buy also rather good account of another largely forgotten campaign, from a distinctly unusual perspective. |

The Ulster Tales The Ulster tales takes a look at the Troubles in Ulster from a variety of different perspectives. It is an important book and a sympathetic account of a campaign that, although so important at the time and so recent, now seems almost forgotten. Sir John, himself a former General Officer Commanding in Northern Ireland, knows his subject better than most and his analysis is telling. |

If You're Reading This...
Throughout history, soldiers have known that they run the daily risk of being killed in action for their country. When you are stationed on the front line, it is an ever-present danger. Hence, for more than three centuries, soldiers have been writing farewell letters to be read in the event of their death – a last link with that person, and a voice from beyond the grave. If You're Reading This brings together a collection of these letters through history. Starting with the Napoleonic Wars and concluding with Iraq and Afghanistan, the book not only reveals farewell letters from soldiers of all ranks and nationalities, but tells a potted history of each individual soldier and his or her story. Where possible, the book will also explore the reaction and impact of those letters on the family who received them. Click here to view this extract. |
