If the Battle of Lexington and Concord was, in the immortal words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the 'shot heard round the world,' Bunker Hill was the volley that rocked Britain's Parliament and the ministry of King George III to its core. The Battle of Bunker Hill was the first hostile engagement of the Revolution between two organized armies, and the first time that a genuine American army had ever taken the field. It gave the British their first inkling that the Colonial rabble-in-arms they had envisioned might actually prove to be a formidable fighting force. In this book, award-winning author James L. Nelson tells the exciting and dramatic story of the fight that changed the face of the American Revolution. He looks at the events leading up to that fateful day, the personalities on both the British and American sides who made momentous decisions, and the bloody outcome of those crucial choices, which would affect the British strategy on the battlefield throughout the coming six more years of active warfare. A masterful new history of the first set-piece battle of the Revolutionary War, "With Fire and Sword" offers critical new insights into one of the most important actions of our country's founding." - Publisher.. 1st.

"The eldest was a razor-sharp novelist of upper-class manners; the second was loved by John Betjeman; the third was a fascist who married Oswald Mosley; the fourth idolized Hitler and shot herself in the head when Britain declared war on Germany; the fifth was a member of the American Communist Party; the sixth became Duchess of Devonshire. They were the Mitford sisters: Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah. Born into country-house privilege in the early years of the 20th century, they became prominent as "bright young things" in the high society of interwar London. Then, as the shadows crept over 1930s Europe, the stark--and very public--differences in their outlooks came to symbolize the political polarities of a dangerous decade. The intertwined stories of their stylish and scandalous lives--recounted in masterly fashion by Laura Thompson--hold up a revelatory mirror to upper-class English life before and after WWII." - Publisher.. 1st.

Brownnoser. Bootlicker. Lickspittle. Toadeater... Found in every walk of life, both real and imagined, sycophants surround us. But whether we grumble about sycophancy or grudgingly tolerate it as a price of getting along in a complex society, we rarely examine it closely. This book humorously considers that slavish art from the historical past to our current political environment, and particularly through the revealing lens of literature. Some of the grandest examples of yes-men appear in these pages--from Dante's flatterers and Dickens's Uriah Heep to Kellyanne Conway, who urged us to ""go buy Ivanka's stuff,"" and the obsequious soul who apologized to Vice President Cheney for being shot by him.More relevant now than ever, as sucking up becomes the master trope of the Trump era, this choice romp through the spectacular world of bowing and scraping will entertain and enlighten., University of Virginia, 2017, 3, UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.[Complete number line 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2.] NFINE/NFINE.No owner inscrptn and no price-clip (£12.99) to dw/dj.

Despite the honest and fair description of minor faults,visually the exterior appearance is still acceptable,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation. Alfred Hitchcock was a strange child.Fat,lonely,burning with fear and ambition,his childhood was an isolated one,scented with fish from his father' shop.Afraid to leave his bedroom,he would plan great voyages, using rialway timetables to plot an exact imaginary route across Europe.So how did this fearful figure become one of the most respected film directors of the 20thC? As an adult,Hitch rigorously controlled his public image,drawing certain carefully selected childhood anecdotes into full focus and blurring all others out.In this quick-witted portrait,Ackroyd reveals something more: a lugubriously jolly man fond of practical jokes,who smashes a once-used tea cup every morning to emind himself of the frailty of life.Iconic film stars make cameo appearances,just as Hitch did in his own films. Grace Kelly,Cary grant and James Stewart despair of his detached directing style and,perhaps most famously of all,Tippi Hedren endures cuts and bruises from a real -life flock of birds. 'Alfred Hitchcock' wrests the director's chair back from the master of control and discovers what lurks in the corner of the shot.
