This volume is not a conventional history of the Kent County Constabulary but attempts to convey the spirit of a police force over the first century of its existence, much of it intimate and personal, some of it trivial, but in aggregate conveys something of the intangibles which make a British police force at least different, if not wonderful, to foreigners.

London: Victor Gollancz, 1946. Second impression. Very Good. A lovely story in her usual fashion, very compelling.�The King�s General� is one of only three of Daphne du Maurier�s novels that has a female narrator. It is the story of Honor Harris, a beautiful young woman who is the victim of a tragic accident which leaves her with a twisted and paralysed body and Richard Grenvile, who is for a time the Kings General in the West of England � a proud, harsh man who shows tenderness only to Honor and his illegitimate son Jo. The other important character is Gartred, Richard�s sister, a woman of great beauty but a poisonous disposition. Like Rachel in Daphne du Maurier�s later novel �My Cousin Rachel�, you are left wondering if Gartred is truly evil or if situations just happen by chance when she is close at hand. green boards with title to spine.

London: Macmillan, 1991. First edition. Paperback. Very Good +. Kristallnacht was the Nazis' euphemism, after the pavements littered with broken glass, for the destrucgtion in 24 hours of 75,000 shops, 267 synagogues, 29 warehouses and 14 Jewish community centres. At least 236 people were killed and 30,000 Jewish men dragged off to concentration camps. What triggered this forerunner of the Holocaust? The shooting, by a distressed 17-year-old boy, of the seemingly innocuous Third Secretary at the German Embassy. It has been said that the authors have delved deep into the archives as well as memories to arrive at their conclusions and that we cannot afford to ignore the lessons of this book. paperback with some shelfwear and bumping.clean pages and tight binding.
