Imprint: London, Hodder and Stoughton, 2006 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which has a crease to front inner flap. Fourth impression. The novel is of Bruno Salvador, known as Salvo, 29 years old, the orphaned love child of a Catholic Irish missionary and a Congolese headman's daughter. Salvo, inspired by his mentor Brother Michael, trains as a professional interpreter in the minority African languages and soon becomes a rising star in his profession, courted by City corporations, hospitals, law courts and inevitably the mushrooming overworld of British Intelligence. By turn thriller, love story and comic allegory of our time, it recounts Salvo's heroically naive journey out of the dark of Western hypocrisy and into the heart of lightness. D4F.

Imprint: London, Jonathan Cape, 1988 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Very Good+ complete dustjacket. Map endpapers, 22 plates, 15 illustrations and 16 maps. Few battles in the history of the Second World War have been so misunderstood, for decades German archivists have considered the task of producing a definitive account to be impossible, so scattered and incomplete was the documentary evidence. Now after years of research, the author has penetrated the facade of official Soviet records to produce an entirely new perspective to that of Ryan, Toland, Tully or Ziemke. Nowhere is this more evident than in his exposure of how Stalin so skilfully engineered the humiliation of his Marshals for the sake of his political plan. **** NOT EX LIB **** 15.

In his inimitable style, Christopher Lee re-examines the myths of the Battle of Trafalgar. He plots the megalomania of Napoleon to invade England and the single-minded ambition of Admiral Nelson to seek glory and prizes. He debunks the legend that the French and Spanish sailors were cowardly and shows how Villeneuve had worked out Nelson's famous plan of attack, which Lee argues failed anyway, and demonstrates how Trafalgar could easily have gone against Nelson. Through the prism of the events of the preceding years, Lee paints a picture of the personalities and the intrigues that were operating at Trafalgar, and particularly of the creation of a national hero in Nelson and his intense rivalry with Napoleon.

Imprint: London, Souvenir Press, 1972 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with bumping to front top corner tip with VG+ dustjacket. Translated by Michael Heron. 176 pages. Lehmann asks who really was Jesus? How can we reconcile the picture of Christ which has come down over the centuries with the man the Romans crucified and whom they must have regarded as a dangerous political firebrand. Investigation of the Dead Sea Scrolls suggests that the Essene Sect can provide the answers, yet the Essenes were never mentioned in the Bible. The teachings of Christianity remain untouched and as potent as ever in this study but the powerful influence of the Essenes provides an entirely different picture of the life of Christ. R2.

Imprint: New York, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1980 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with dustjacket which is not price clipped. xiii + 178 pages. 17 illustrations. Famous in his time as 'the handsomest young man in England' and the heroic soldier-poet of World War I, Rupert Brooke is a classic example of a man undone by his legend. Having inspired an orgy of praise after his tragic death en route to the Gallipoli campaign, and the publication of his patriotic '1914' sonnets, he seemed to have scaled the heights of poetry's Olympus. But in the disillusionment of the post-war era, his reputation tumbled and has never recovered. In this skillful blend of biography and literary criticism, John Lehmann draws a fascinating portrait of the man and the legend, separating the complex reality from the romantic fantasy, the meretricious from the meritorious in his verse. He evokes the Edwardian age in which Brooke flourished and the hectic first months of the war in which he perished. B2C. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: London, Hodder and Stoughton, 1995 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine price clipped dustjacket. xiv + 370 pages. 51 illustrations. Alicia Markova is a dancing legend. Her story is a dream come true, but not one realised without much hardship, dedication and sacrifice - as this first major biography reveals. Born Lilian Alicia Marks in London in 1910, she started her career at the age of ten in Dick Whittington in Kennington. Artistically it was about as far removed fro the worlds great opera houses as you can get. Such was her genius, however, that despite her lack of experience in ballet, she was snapped up aged 14 by the world-famous impresario Serge Diaghileff for his acclaimed Ballet Russe. It was the beginning of an exciting, though often lonely, period. Markova, as she now was, danced all over Europe, introducing new works by Balanchine and Massine. Stravinsky was her music teacher and Matisse her designer. Nurtured and groomed by Diaghileff, she was plunged into despair by his death when she was still 18. With no British ballet company to return to, she earned her living dancing in a cinema between films. Then with the young Frederick Ashton, she introduced a whole new concept of dance in London. Later, when Ninette de Valois started the Vic-Wells Ballet, Alicia became her prima ballerina, nightly filling Sadler's Wells theatre to capacity. Written with Markova's full cooperation, this is the enthralling story of a woman with a mission, whose whole life has been devoted to what she symbolises - the perfection of her art. It is also the story of British Ballet. Before Markova it simply did not exist. L. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Fine Stock number: 009774. ISBN: 0340640324
