Description:
London: Sidgwick & Jackson , 1996. Hardcover. Fine/very good. An examination of Britain's elite SAS regiment in the role of hostage rescuers. The author incorporates a broad definition of the word 'rescue' to include instances of SAS troops 'rescuing' other units, or even entire countries, by taking decisive action in the right place at the right time. Several 'conventional' rescues are analysed in detail, including the Iranian Embassy seige of 1980, while more clandestine operations, such as the saving of civilian lives in Bosnia, are also discussed. The training and special equipment used in hostage rescues are looked at in full, from Hereford's notorious 'Killing House' to the sophisticated communications equipment carried on operations. Packed with fascinating colour and b&w photos (some never seen before), first-hand accounts and a lively informative narrative, this is a unique look at a little known aspect of SAS operations. Size, 24 x 19cm, 192 pages, illustrated throughout in colour and…

Description:
London: Jonathan Cape, 1979. Reprint. Hardcover. Good/Good. A detailed re-examination of Hitler's blitz-kreig, or 'lightning war', which in a few short months saw the Nazis victorious on most of mainland Europe. Deighton begins by tracing the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party, showing how this was inevitable, despite (or because of) the back-stabbing and scheming within the highest ranks. He then explodes many of the myths that still surround the German military campaigns of 1940, especially the attitude of German Generals to Hitler's plans; how the French were defeated despite their often superior forces; why Hitler stopped short of Dunkirk, and many other facets. Inlcudes a detailed review of the major weapons and other equipment used by all sides. Ranks with the author's earlier study of the Battle of Britain as a revealing, sometimes shocking, examination of the true facts. Contains 319 pages, 21.5 x 14cm, 59 b&w photos, 20 maps, 23 figures and 2 tables. Ex-library, some library markings, front…
